Norwegian Black Metal veterans TAAKE, headed by iconic founder Hoest, will hit the road in March 2024 on a series of 14 dates, supported by fellow countrymen NORDJEVEL and Austria’s THEOTOXIN.
Throughout his lengthy career spanning over thirty years, TAAKE’s frontman Hoest has made sure that TAAKE manages to stay relevant and remain at the forefront of the Black Metal genre, losing none of the unique sound that has drawn legions of fans to the band, but at the same time never allowing that sound to stagnate.
Hoest’s stage presence and electrifying performances, backed by a lineup filled with highly skilled and experienced musicians, have thrilled crowds over the years, and will continue to do so.
