With their signature Helnorsk Svartmetall sound, Taake have always stayed true to their black metal roots , but the band's iconic founder and frontman, Hoest, has  refused to allow himself to get bogged down in the formulaic writing that plagues so many bands in the genre today - bands both old and new.  His approach has always been one of trying something new, and original, even if it's something totally unexpected, and it is this that has kept Taake at the top of their game for over two decades.

With his formidable stage presence, Hoest has acquired a quasi-legendary status amongst fans, and the band's return to the US will hopefully give more of Taake's followers a chance to see one of Norway's most admired and influential black metal bands.

Aside from the US tour, Taake will play four dates in the UK in April, and has already been confirmed for various festival appearances over the coming year.
