[1] After the release of two demos, in 1995, the band changed their name to Taake, while Ulvhedin adopted the stage name Hoest (Norwegian for "autumn").

[2] Taake's sophomore album, Over Bjoergvin graater himmerik, was released in 2002 and saw the addition of several new band members.

In 2005, Taake concluded the trilogy with the album Hordalands doedskvad and went on hiatus due to dissatisfaction with the black metal scene.

The band's fifth studio album, Noregs vaapen (2011), features several prominent Norwegian black metal artists, including Attila Csihar, Nocturno Culto, Demonaz and Ivar Bjørnson.
