Haken - Begin Working On New Album


The ever-evolving progressive metallers Haken are back at work on new music! The London-based group were recently announced as Between The Buried And Me guests on their European tour later this year as main support, and have also started work on their forthcoming new album. Last year, the band released the EP Restoration which featured reworked tracks from their 2008 demo Enter The 5th Dimension. Now it's time to dedicate their time and energy to the follow-up to The Mountain.

The proggers said: "Excitement levels are off the scale in the Haken camp at the moment! Being offered a tour support slot with one of our favourite bands is an absolute dream come true. Their music has had a massive impact on us as a band and individual musicians over the years. Our new album is shaping up to be a real beast! We've written a bunch of sketches and are currently selecting which ones to develop further. We can't wait to share it with everyone."

The band will be playing the following dates:

16/9 - Southampton, England - Talking Heads
17/9 - London, England - Electric Ballroom
18/9 - Manchester, England - Gorilla
19/9 - Glasgow, Scotland - The Garage

Well, glad you like him. I just think he is not a very good vocalist.
