Taake

Hoest is the creative force of the band; the rest of the lineup is highly unstable.

The band was formerly known as Thule (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. It is 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 season of birth.

Vendigeit is a project mentioned by Høst in interviews, about which very little is known.

Høst was imprisoned in 2006 for unknown reasons. His label Dark Essence Records reported that the prison sentence was only a few months.C. Corax (guitars on Doedskvad and Bjoergvin) has also been imprisoned, though for a longer prison sentence.

There is a reason why Høst prefers his name spelled with an "oe" and not an "ø". It is because he does not want to use the three letters æ,ø, and å. This is a part of the whole Taake package
