UPDATE: This thread was started a long time ago, back when only the demo had been recorded. See later in the thread for more recent news/discussion.

So I had a thread about this band before the implosion so obviously it is no longer, so I figured I might as well start a new one as there are exciting updates!
If anyone hasn't checked them out at all yet, they're a prog-metal band with an incredibly diverse range of influences including some styles that you'd never expect to hear in a metal song. Check out some of the stuff on their myspace:
https://www.myspace.com/hakenmusicTheir 6-track demo in full quality (as the myspace versions of things either sound crap or are cut short/start half way through) is available to purchase with links on the myspace too, but the exciting news is that
they have confirmed that they are working on a debut album which should be out early next year! See this post at 5/8 from Ray (the drummer):
Hello all!
This is Ray from HAKEN
Please try and keep this thread live. Olaf's... i mean 'pulsefloyd' () is doing a great job! Arrich, where did you go?!
Just to let you know we're still working hard, Charlie has slotted in perfectly and Diego (our new man on keys alongside Hen) is doing an incredible job.
We're working on our debut album which should see an official release early in the new year. It seems far away now, but trust me it'll be worth the wait.
We're all very excited about the progress we're making and we should get a couple of gigs in during the next month or two before I enter the studio at the end of July to lay down the drums.
That's all folks! Cheers for listening!

Oh, and rather excitingly, the 2nd issue of
Classic Rock Presents Prog (for anyone who's been managing to get hold of it) has a Haken track on the CD that comes with it!
