Hello,

Taake is now hosted on the Svartekunst Produksjoner domain. Please bear with us while we iron out some of the small remaining issues left over from the migration.

If you  have previously signed up to the site, all of your details and passwords have been retained. You will not need to sign up again.

The MP3 audio has been removed from this site, but remains available on the Official Myspace (please use the link at the bottom of the left menu.).

Infernal Hails,

The Taake Webmaster

We have done our best to avoid cancelling, but the organizer has not followed up the terms of our contract.
We have been patient, but when we’re not even able to get in touch with the organizer we feel it’s only right to cancel for everyone’s security..

Taake will perform for the 4th time at the Hole in the Sky festival in their hometown Bergen (August 29th 2009).

The festival’s 10th year anniversary also marks Taake’s 10th year of live performances, as the first Hole in the Sky festival in 2000 was also Taake’s first proper live performance.

Check out Taake’s music video for the new track “Umenneske” :

On September 13th Taake headlined the Wolfszeit festival in front of a 1000 people.
It was a great success and the band hopes that this will be a door opener for future concerts in Germany.
Thanks to everyone who showed up and especially Freki the organizer for having the balls to defy all forces which tried to stop the concert!

Hoest has finally recorded the new anticipated Taake album, simply entitled “Taake” for his own label Svartekunst Produksjoner.
The CD version is licenced to Dark Essence Records and is due to be released in Europe by the end of 2008.
The LP version will be released early 2009 exclusively through Svartekunst Produksjoner.
This double vinyl features a cover version of the Burzum classic “A lost forgotten sad Spirit” as bonus track, as well as different cover and poster.
