From what I know, no. As with their previous albums, it won't be a complete overhaul of their sound (i.e. it will be obviously recogniseable as Haken) but there will be some new things and certain aspects of their sound will be more prominent than usual. Basically, what you'd expect from a prog band that wants to do something different each time.

Are you suggesting that it could be an album full of Cockroach King style songs? I'm sure that it's the kind of album that would make every fans happy.

Cockroach King is fucking amazing! Theres nothing like it in the progmetal scene so I wouldn't mind a whole CK album.

I really like Cockroach King, but wouldn't want an entire album of that stuff. It'd just be too much.

Same here. If they decided to do more of that on album (which, no, was not what I was referring to this time), I would guess at either it being still only PART of an album, or maybe something shorter like an EP.

Then again, I hate Cockroach King, so there ya have it.

Yea my bad, that was my tipsy self trying to express its love for CK. I love the song, but I don't want an entire album of it. Just like The Astonishing, I don't mind the couple of out-of-the-ordinary songs like Three Days and Lord Nafaryus, hell, I love them, but I don't want a whole album of it.

My comment was more facetious than anything.

It just seems that while a lot of people seems to enjoy it (me included), the people who don't like the song seems to really hate it a lot.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this new album whether or not it contains a Ladybug Queen song.

https://hakenmusic.com/haken-album-four-press-release Press release for the new album, it's called Affinity!

Einar Solberg on guest vocals on a 15 minute song! Fuck yeah! And the teaser sounds really good! Link to the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3t4MKqsf3Q

Awesome! Man all of my favorite bands are putting out stuff in the first four months of 2016. Is there anything coming out over the summer?

ariich · « **Reply #573 on:** February 09, 2016, 07:56:10 AM »

That teaser is such a tease.

Also can't work out if that's the album art that appears on the site. Looks fittingly retro if so!

Train of Naught · « **Reply #574 on:** February 09, 2016, 08:02:58 AM »

Not gonna lie that cover looks pretty badass, also affinity.exe has got to be the coolest track name I've seen all year.

It's been confirmed that 1985 is a direct response to Taylor Swift's 1989.

Album is 61:26. This means the album is their shortest, though an hour long album is hardly short. The teaser sounds fantastic.

Great track names, great album name, just great all around!!! An hour of music suits me just fine, and I'm sure they whittled it down to just the best stuff!

I love that they're continuing with single word album titles (well, not counting the "The" in The Mountain).

That album art is so different than what I'd ever expect from this band. Love it.

volwrath · « **Reply #591 on:** February 09, 2016, 01:28:23 PM »

This album has me fired up! I like where on the website where it pauses saying processing low noise/ high output audio, which gives me hope for a HDTracks master along with the Mountain and Aquarius

Edit: Also how can Aquarius be sold out on their site and Amazon? Thats rather bizarre.

I sort of doubt that it will be the final album art, seems to be just keeping in with the retro aesthetic of the site (unless the site is built around the retro aesthetic of the album art but I find that less likely).

ThatOneGuy2112 · « **Reply #594 on:** February 09, 2016, 04:21:59 PM »

I wouldn't mind it at all if that were the cover art. It seems so unexpected for a prog release, but looks so fitting with the retro technology aesthetic they seem to be going for here.

All the music in the teaser sounds great. Color me hyped.
