HISTORY :
Vike Tare was founded at the Frisian North Sea coast in 2003. One year later the band autonomously recorded their debut “The Tide of Revelation”, which was released in 2005. After numerous concerts in northern Germany, the band was put on hold in 2008 due to time constraints. At this point, material for a second album had already been almost completed. In 2013, the band reunited to finalize and record the yet unreleased songs. The result was Vike Tare's second album “Feed the Flames”, released in 2016. Currently, the band is put on hold once again, the members are musically active in other projects.
Vike Tare describe their music as Frisian Pagan Black Metal which is influenced by the rather melodic approach of Black-/Death-Metal as played by Swedish bands such as Sacramentum, Dawn or Mörk Gryning in the second half of the 1990s. Maritime topics are an important element of the band's lyrics. The band's name is linked to the old pagan custom Biikebrennen, an annual celebration held on February 21st in North Frisia.
