Taake

Taake 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 and records most of the music. The band describes itself as “True Norwegian black metal”, and Hoest said that he wants to “awaken national pride and cultural nostalgia in my Norwegian listeners”. All lyrics are in Hoest’s native dialect and are printed in Norse runes.
