Tacere’s main man Karri formed Tacere (at that time known as “Tacet Lacrimae”) originally as his solo project, but very soon it became clear that to achieve his visions he needed a full band around him. Thus he started gathering people to join the band and the first official line-up was formed in the very end of 2002. Not too long after this the band shortened it’s name into Tacere and recorded their first demo “Into your dreams”. For the first couple of years Tacere had only male vocals (sung by Karri) but in the spring of 2003 Helena Haaparanta (who appeared as a guest on Tacere’s “The legend of Gévaudan” demo) joined the band completing Karri’s longtime dream of creating a band with possibilities to create very unique songs and atmospheres.

After almost three years of work, five recorded demos and dozens of gigs Tacere finally signed a recording contract with SM-Records at the very end of 2005 and The first single “I devour” was already released 31.5.2006. A Mini album called “A voice in the dark” followed in November 2006, and the release of the (already finished) full length album “Beautiful darkness” is scheduled for February of 2007. The single, Mini album and the full length are all produced by Tacere’s front man Karri together with co-producer Anssi Kippo – a producer extraordinaire who is probably best known for his ground breaking work with the Finnish metal legends Children of Bodom.
