Isnt Taake the band that got kicked out of pretty much all their festivals, because the singer showed up with a Swastika on stage? He wrote a statement with an apology and all, in which he called the owner of the venue an "under-human" and pured some more nazi-bullshit in. Im not sure it was them or a band with a quite similar name. Hilarious story though. Im always in favour of people publicly humiliating themselves.

^ haha yup . It's funny because I'm jewish (of blood) but Taake remains my favourite Norwegian black band (alonside with Arcturus hehe . Enslaved comes 3d .)
Anyway, this is what happened:
At a concert at Essen in Germany in March, 2007, Hoest went on stage with a huge swastika painted on his chest[1]. This stunt resulted in strong protests from both the audience and the press who were covering the concert. In Germany, where all Taake festival gigs were cancelled by the organisers, the use of nazi symbols is forbidden by law, and Taake claims on their website that the reactions caused by the stunt was unexpected. On their website he also apologizes, though in a rather politically incorrect fashion:
"... we truly apologize to all of our collaborators who might get problems because of the Essen swastika scandal (except for the Untermensch owner of that club; you can go suck a Muslim)!"[2]
According to an article published in the March 26th edition of the Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende, Taake's record label, Dark Essence Records, has indicated that it may terminate its relationship with the band as a result of Taake's behavior at the Essen concert. [3]
In a further statement on the Taake website from April 2nd, 2007, entitled "Swastika Statement Part 2: Spoonfeeding the Kids," Hoest maintained his unapologetic stance and attacked the 'internet debate' stating: "My previous statement clearly states that I apologize ONLY to our COLLABORATORS who might get problems [sic] because of the scandal. This means that I take full responsibility and should receive all problems myself.. But what problems did I get? We raped Essen on one of the first days of the tour and the word spread within minutes. For the rest of the tour I was such an easy target for verbal or physical abuse on stage, walking around the venues, in the streets, etc.. but I didn`t receive ANY confrontation.. So keep your pathetic internet debate going, but don`t think for one second that I take any of you seriously.. Furthermore, I never did anything to make Taake a big band. I was hoping to lose some fans with the Nekro EP, so now I certainly expect to get rid of some more."[4]

Hehe "you can go suck a muslim!"

Umm, generally I think you should judge musicians for the music they make and all, but when it comes to nazi ideology and people like Varg Vikernes, I never really know where to draw the line. Id certainly hesitate to go buy a shirt and Id certainly hesitate to call them "great".Anyway, Taake is fucking great
Either way, this is probably the beginning of the end of Taake
