About

Taake (Norwegian: [ˈtôːkə]) is a Norwegian black metal band from Bergen, formed in 1993 and originally named Thule. The band's one continuous member is Hoest, who writes all and records most of the music. Taake has released eight full-length albums and several EPs. The band describes itself as "True Norwegian black metal", and Hoest said he wants to "awaken national pride and cultural nostalgia" in Norwegian listeners as well as to remind people "that Hell is right here on Earth and that humans can be demons". All lyrics are in Hoest's native dialect and are printed in Norse runes. Taake is the old spelling of the Norwegian word tåke, meaning "fog".

Taake (prononcé tau-que) est un groupe de black metal norvégien, originaire de Bergen. D'abord baptisé Thule, la formation change de nom au bout de deux ans. Taake, ou tåke dans une graphie plus moderne, signifie « brouillard » ou « brume » en norvégien. Ce nom évoque l'univers mystérieux et onirique de la musique jouée par le groupe.
