Progressive Metal Band Take & Take Release Debut Album 'Disillusion' Out Now! New Video for "Digging"!

Progressive metal band Take & Take's debut album Disillusion released today, March 22, 2024. Crafting every element from concept to concrete, the musical visionary Eddie Trager helmed the entire process—ideas, composition, instrumental and vocal performances, and even the captivating hand-drawn cover art.

In collaboration of the album release, the band also dropped their new music video for "Digging"! WATCH it HERE

In this artistic endeavor, Trager found collaboration in the form of the legendary Matt Bayles. Known for his contributions to some of Eddie's all-time favorite albums, Bayles lent his expertise to the mixing duties at the prestigious Red Room in Seattle. Meanwhile, metal production titan Jens Bogren took the reins for mastering at his renowned Fascination Street Studios in Malmo, Sweden, ensuring the album's sound reaches new heights.

Disillusion draws inspiration from a diverse array of progressive musical influences, weaving a tapestry that spans from the avant-garde sounds of Ihsahn, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Opeth, Mastodon, Wilderun, and The Mars Volta to the vibrancy of Jacob Collier, The Beatles, Queen, and Yes. The album masterfully navigates through a spectrum of musical genres, seamlessly blending pop sensibilities with experimental twists that defy traditional forms.

Prepare to embark on a musical odyssey that transcends boundaries, as Take & Take introduces Disillusion to the world —a testament to innovation, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of artistic excellence.

"Sticky" - the first single from the upcoming Disillusion album - dropped January 12th with a simultaneous video premiere at Metal Injection.
