Virus

VirusVirus2020Since releasing ‘Vector’ in October 2018, Haken have completed headline tours the world over, played sold-out shows across Europe and North America as support for Devin Townsend and picked up a Prog award for their efforts too! All the while, they have been quietly, secretly working on the follow-up album, entitled ‘Virus’. “Since releasing ‘The Mountain’ in 2013, one question … Read More

Vector

VECTORVECTOR2018″Musically it feels like a logical step from ‘Affinity’, but lyrically it’s a bit more theatrical and about as ‘rock opera’ as Haken has ever got. It’s about a Doctor with an intriguing, perhaps sinister interest in a particular patient. From there the story enters the point-of-view of the patient – who appears to be catatonic, but his mind is … Read More

L+1VE

L+1VEL+1VE2018“Although festival performances and band changeovers can be a logistical nightmare, this one turned out to be a very special show for us on our first extensive US tour. Despite battling with some technical issues, the show went on, so to speak, and here we have handpicked our favorite 4 tracks from that performance. A proverbial cherry on top was … Read More

L-1VE

L-1VEL-1VE2018″The release of official live material is a project that is long overdue and we know our existing fans have been crying out for this for some time now. Whilst we have filmed and recorded many shows in the past we have always felt there were elements of our shows that could be improved ‘visually’ before we documented and immortalised … Read More

Affinity

AFFINITYAFFINITY2016“The broad lyrical theme of this album is about how we are all connected, both literally and in more abstract sense. ’Affinity’ seemed like the perfect title since it can refer to the biological connection between all living things; our common ancestry. But we’re also reflecting on our personal relationships, as well as looking at human nature from a more … Read More

Restoration

RESTORATIONRESTORATION2014’Redoing a few of our favourite tracks from the demo is something we’ve talked about doing for ages and the fans have been asking for it constantly. We were also excited about working creatively with our new bassist Conner Green, so this seemed like the perfect way to welcome him aboard.”Merely rerecording the demo songs would have felt musically redundant … Read More

The Mountain

THE MOUNTAINTHE MOUNTAIN2013″To us, ‘The Mountain’ is symbolic of our journey as a band, but also reflects the wider trials and tribulations of life. Lyrically, we’ve done a lot of soul searching which has given the album an emotional depth that we’re sure listeners will really relate to, whatever personal mountain they are climbing. Musically, the new songs feel rawer … Read More

Visions

VISIONSVISIONS2011″It is a concept album like its predecessor, telling the story of “a young boy who sees his own death in his dreams and believes it’s going to happen and spends the rest of his life trying to avoid it.” The long closing track “Visions” is the end of the story but it makes it come full circle to the … Read More

Aquarius

AQUARIUSAQUARIUS2010″‘Aquarius’ is a fantasy tale about a mermaid who is discovered by a fisherman. Each song progresses and has its own meaning itself, but the story itself starts with the mermaid being discovered. There’s a circus in town, and this mermaid is sold off to the circus. There’s a global flood coming, and it turns out that the mermaid’s blood … Read More
