Takida are an English-language hard rock band from Sweden that experienced immediate success upon signing to Ninetone Records in 2005 after a half-decade of independent activity. They scored three platinum-selling, Swedish number one albums in a row -- 2007's Bury the Lies, 2009's The Darker Instinct, and 2011's The Burning Heart -- before hitting the top spot again with their sixth album, 2016's A Perfect World. 2019's Sju saw them break into the German market, and 2021's Falling from Fame marked the beginning of their third decade of creativity.
