Having started the band way back in 1993, main man Hoest will celebrate 20
years of staying true to his musical identity by releasing a 20-song, 2 CD collection
of TAAKE rarities. The anniversary album will be released on Dark Essence Records
on the 1st of March in Norway and the 4th of March world-wide to coincide with a
planned European tour which will herald the start of a year celebrating TAAKE’s
unique contribution to Norwegian Black Metal.

Titled “Gravkamre, Kroner og Troner” (Burial Chambers, Crowns and Thrones), the release
will not only feature exclusive new tracks, but also rare and previously unreleased material
as well as alternative versions and recordings that have, until now, only been available on
vinyl. “Et Pust av Oeyne”, a track from the album, has been debuted on the TAAKE SoundCloud page.
