Additional notes
Hoest is the creative force of the band, the rest of the lineup is highly unstable.

The band was formerly known as Thule (Nor) (1993-1995); Høst then changed the name to Taake (the Norwegian word for "fog"

in 1995 because he wanted the name to reflect the genuine Norwegian spirit of his music and lyrics. Its also a patriotic tribute to the fog that surrounds the seven mountains at his hometown Bergen. "Høst" itself means "Autumn" in Norwegian, referred to Høst's.
