I was thinking about how many artists have still been putting out records and various projects despite the current global situation and wondered why Haken couldn't just do the same and release the thing digitally, which is how most people tend to consume music nowadays. Although I'm open to the idea that I'm simply uninformed, so anyone feel free the correct me if I'm wrong. Could it be that Haken, not being the most popular band in the world, relies predominantly on the physical sales of their studio output when not touring?
Again, I'm well aware that there may be other factors that I haven't considered. I'm just not 100% on how a band on Haken's scale generates the majority of their income when releasing new music.
Not having been the hugest fan of Vector and hearing how similar Virus will be to it, I'm not exactly at the edge of my seat to hear it, but I've been following their output since The Mountain and will definitely always check out anything new they put out.
