With blessing from fellow board member Elite, I'll be running the Haken Survivor 2023, the first one since
The Haken Survivor 2018, nearly five years ago.
To be consistent with Elite's previous Survivors, I'll be using his format from the last Haken Survivor. This Survivor will include the band's seven full-length studio albums and one EP. Their debut demo album will be featured as a fun bonus but will not affect the Finals.
The top two songs from each full-length studio album will automatically advance to the Finals, with third place going to Consolation. Restoration's top song will go to Finals, and its second place song will go to Consolation.
Fourth place songs from full-length studio albums will go to a "Play-Off", and of those seven songs, two will go to Consolation. Of the ten songs from Consolation Rounds, the top five will advance to the Finals, for a nice round twenty-song Finals!
