VIP tickets ordered for the Orlando show. Can't wait!

Ticket bought for NYC

Kinda bummed that the St. Louis show is all general admission this time (no seats, ugh), but we still got our tickets.

So mainly dictated by the calendar and limited days off this time around it's looking like Philly, NYC, Boston, and Chicago for me most likely.

Damn....it's the weekend we're flying to Mex City for the Rams game.

Not a real big fan of ubering 40 miles each way either. Pomona??

Hmmm, Chicago...

I'll be at the Chicago show as usual!

I've never been to a concert with reserved seating, but I chose the standard GA ticket just because it looks like it's closer to the stage. Hopefully I won't regret not being able to sit.

Yes, same here in Nashville. Standing is going to be a challenge for me, but this may be my only chance to see Haken. Also, kind of a bummer to go alone, but nobody I know has ever heard of Haken and is not into progressive rock. I listened to some Leprous, but so far the music is not clicking for me, but will try some more.

I am going to the Haken show in Nashville and this will be my first show in a club, small crowd setting. For those that have attended these types of shows, do the bands normally hang around after the show and speak with the concert goers? There is no meet and greet at the Nashville show.

By the way, I have been listening to some Leprous and the music did not click at first, but I really like Bilateral. I listened to Malina last night and this one may take few listens, but the song 'Weight of Disaster' is really good.

When I saw them in NYC last year, after the show Charlie and Connor were both hanging out near the stage talking to fans and taking picutres. I don't recall seeing any of the other guys doing the same, but maybe they were. I can only speak to my own experience, I shook both guys hands, but have no idea if that's normal or not for them.

Are you sure there is no M&G? I'm pretty sure the VIP package is available on every show in America. And typically some, if not all the guys will talk to people after the show.

mike099 · « **Reply #2567 on:** July 24, 2018, 03:30:05 AM »

Nick, you are correct, there is a M&G package separate from the ticket purchase at the venue.

Haken guys are shooting new music video today. Wonder how long it will take to release the single/music video..

Bought my ticket and VIP upgrade for Seattle last night.

Still ticked that it’s on a Tuesday, but I’ll be there.

Implode · « **Reply #2573 on:** July 27, 2018, 09:46:50 AM »

Any chance of another small Chicago meetup before the show?

axeman90210 · « **Reply #2574 on:** July 27, 2018, 12:26:59 PM »

I'll be flying into Chicago Saturday morning for the show, I foresee much beer in mine and Splent's future.

Nah, I think it's obvious that they're taking up the huge task of writing Despacito 2

Godspeed, Haken, Godspeed.

Cool artwork, looking forward to hearing a track. Hopefully this record sits a little better with me than Affinity (which was kinda hit or miss).

Heavier direction sounds nice.

Nice, and a week before I see them so should be enough time to dig into the new album to see some of it live

Some good info in the link......in case you didn't want to click it for whatever reason...

Quote

[/Since their inception in 2007, Haken have shown over four previous studio albums, one EP and a live release that they never stand still, merely satisfied to rely on past triumphs. Rather, Haken always look for ways to challenge themselves as musicians and artists, and also to keep the listeners on their collective toes.

Vocalist Ross Jennings laughs

"We don't like to make simple music. We always aim to defy expectations, and I believe we've surpassed what we aimed to achieve with our new album."

Their fifth studio record sees the band going in a heavier direction with the music.

Guitarist Charlie Griffiths explains

"We’ve always had a heavy influence, but it was obvious from the riffs that were naturally coming out of us early in the writing process that this would be a more metal album. These are some of the most riff driven songs we’ve ever written."

As is usual, Haken produced the album themselves, but for the first time they have enlisted Adam 'Nolly' Getgood during the recording and mixing stages. Formerly bassist with Periphery, in the last couple of years he has built a reputation as a fine producer.

Jennings insists

"We produced the album ourselves, as we always do. But we're fans of what Adam has done with Periphery, Sikth and Devin Townsend. He has a great reputation for the heavier end of our genre."

But if this album is musically heavy, then there's an underlying theme running through the seven songs which is certainly esoteric and fascinating.

Griffiths explains

"The scene is set with the track The Good Doctor, which was a really fun song. Musically it feels like a logical step from 'Affinity', but lyrically it’s a bit more theatrical and about as ‘rock opera’ as Haken has ever got. It’s about a Doctor with an intriguing, perhaps sinister interest in a particular patient. From there the story enters the point-of-view of the patient - who appears to be catatonic, but his mind is sparking with what could be memories, or delusions brought on by the treatment he’s receiving - we leave this up to the listeners to decide. Although we don’t want to give too much away, people who are familiar with our back catalogue will have fun discovering further clues we’ve planted throughout the album. And that's the challenge for the fans – to find out for themselves their own meaning for 'Vector' as an album."quote]

Yeah, I just read that write up Destiny of Chaos posted, it sounds like it definitely will be. I like the idea of going a heavier direction and I really like that they got Nolly to engineer and mix. Like I said, I'm looking forward to hearing the first track.
