Very cool.

A nice insight into their lives. It's really a shame that they are the epitome of the independent modern musician, given they have to work other jobs. Really puts you to think, eh.

[The Letter M]

This article from Prog names Haken's fourth album as Verbatim.

(If that's the case, this thread should be renamed "Verbacontim". Calling it now.)

Saw this earlier today, and I'm pretty sure the guys at the Prog offices did NOT get the joke.

For anyone who didn`t understand:

That`s some bad work of this magazine to misinterpret this to think "Verbatim" would be the real album name.

EDIT: Oh nevermind, was already posted on the last page.

Excellent trolling from the guys: https://www.facebook.com/HakenOfficial/photos/a.102809109743.113889.102787549743/10153958586594744/?type=3

I don't know what parts of that I should consider trolling and what to take seriously, or if all of it is trolling. At first I thought the tracks and track lengths themselves were serious, working titles obviously, but at least real. But then the 50 minute track had me doubting that too. I'm not sure how to interprate this

Considering the total length of those tracks reaches 95 minutes, and the "Verbatim" CD-r only holds 80 minutes, I'd say it's a fake track list, at least length-wise.

[ariich]

I know for a fact that everything about that is trolling.

This is amazing. I like to think The Very Table is a Metallica reference, they're pretty close in length too. H4KEN ft. James Hetfield?

[mikemangioy]

I have to admit I falled for "Verbatim", then I realised. Haken are master comedians.

It's a play on "the veritable".

And I know what the album is actually going to be called.

[Sacul]

Teltron?

Do you know about when the CD will be released?  If it is anywhere near the quality of The Mountain, I will be happy.

Oh you...

[YtseJamittaja]

Datalife? Maxell?

[ariich]

Don't know, sorry. Given that they've confirmed that it's been mastered, my guess would be mid-late spring, but that's only a guess based on how long these things normally take.

And I know what the album is actually going to be called.

Datalife? Maxell?

Betamax.

[GasparXR]

Damn I was hoping it would be Laserdisc.

It's simply the album title

And if we don't know the album title?

[darkshade]

OK I searched the last 2 pages, it's Verbatim??? Why?

[goo-goo]

Zing!!!!

[Enigmachine]

Goddamnit, they keep teasing us! 

[ariich]

The password is verbatim.

The album is not called Verbatim. That was always a joke that they've subsequently been trolling about because Prog magazine didn't realise it was a joke.

[darkshade]

I like H4KEN as the album title. It's a clever way of having a self-titled, and I don't even like when bands do a "self titled" unless it's their first album, even then an actual title is usually better. But this would be cool.

[Train of Naught]

Rich said they just used it as a working title, similar to The Mountain being refered to as HAK3N. So I wouldn't count on it, pretty badass name tho.

[jammindude]

They posted a picture of the master disc and it was burned on a Verbatim brand blank CD.

[GasparXR]

It would be hilarious if when the album actually comes out, people get confused because they still thought the album would be called Verbatim.

[me7]

I guess we'll get a single soon.

ariich, you said that the band took a specific direction with this album. Is it something that will be obvious by a single song?

Correct. It is neither H4KEN nor Verbatim.

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.

This is how I feel.
