Takipnik

Takipnik is a Denver-based band formed in 2019. Their sound sits at the crossroads of alternative and post-metal, blending heavy riffs with atmospheric textures.

In August 2020, the band entered the studio to record their debut EP, The Biggest, a five-track release fusing hard-hitting synth rock with elements of heavy rock, punk metal, and grunge. The EP dropped in February 2021.

On August 4, 2023, Takipnik released their first full-length album, This Hypocrisy, which showcased a diverse range of material—instrumentals, interludes, and moody standouts like My Reflection.

Most recently, the band released it’s new album on October 24th 2025 titled “Awakened” containing songs that highlight their evolving sound including Seeing Red, a sharp and driving anthem, Dawn, a complex and atmospheric post-metal piece, and The Finding, which explored a more emotional, post-rock/shoegaze direction.
