Quote from: Glasser on December 02, 2021, 02:07:42 PM
Progressive rockers, Haken, have announced that they have parted ways with keyboardist, Diego Tejeida.

Says the band: "Dear all, we unfortunately have to announce that Diego is leaving us for pastures new. We'd like to thank him for sharing the journey with us so far and we couldn't be more proud of the music we've created over the years. We are so grateful for all of the accomplishments, adventures and good times we've shared together. But never fear! Haken will continue with its mission to bring you the music we are passionate about (and we'll have news on that soon), but in the meantime, join us in wishing Diego all the best in his future musical adventures."

*Flashback to ten days ago...*

looks like The Thing we all knew was coming finally got officially confirmed

I am not going to be specific about it because that's funnier to me but you know what it is anyways

Yeah, the worst kept secret has been confirmed about Diego leaving.

Yup officially official now.

I see Haken has officially made the statement that Diego is leaving. The reason being creative differences isn't surprising. He looked really at ease playing alongside Devin Townsend in the videos I saw on YouTube.

I look forward to his future output and to hear what Haken can bring to fruition. I will miss Diego in Haken though, as he was one of the main reasons for me getting into the band.

I am postulating that Ross felt the same and made his solo album for these creative ideas to be released, rather than keeping them bottled and creating a rift like what happened with Diego. He said in the track-by-track video for Grounded that for the lyrics he left his sleeve out there and it's how he feels. I appreciate that and it does show in his tone, emotion, and passion in his vocals for that song.

It's a really beautiful song with a  very uplifting message of hope.

Finally!

I thought this was going to be an announcement for Diego's replacement and thought "Wow, they only gave us ten days to take in that information before announcing his replacement?! They haven't even done a 3-part Audition Drama yet!!!"

Also, Mike Portnoy, who once hit the gong on a Haken song, has left Dream Theater.  Statement to follow...

A few months ago I noticed I had an unread private message on my Facebook. It was some dude asking me if I'd be willing to give him my extra copy of the Haken demo. I must have mentioned having two copies on some music page. I was about to respond when I noticed... it was from December 2018. I completely ignored this dude by accident and I feel so bad about it.  :lol Seems waaay past time to respond now.

I think I actually got the demo because someone on this forum was working for the band and giving them away to us through private message if we wanted? It was like ten years ago now. Who was that?

Zydar

I've actually never given the demo a listen. I should check it out one day, since I really like the Restoration EP (especially Crystallised).

They just announced on their Facebook page that they are now postponing their 2022 tour. I've been wondering if bands would start doing this.

Even though dream theater is still scheduled to play near me in February, I'm starting to wonder if that will happen either.

To be clear, this is only their headlining tour in Europe. The US tour with Symphony X is currently still on.

Really frustrating but it does make sense. European countries are in panic mode over the latest COVID variant and so it makes sense to plan on the basis of that still being the case in February, and crossing borders is particularly problematic.

Good point. Thank you for the correction.

If the US tour still happens, and as of now, I don't see why it wouldn't, then the NYC show will be the first live performance of the VIrus songs and maybe with a new keyboardist.  Kind of makes me a bit more hyped for that show now.

So I think Haken is making some sort of announcement tomorrow morning?

Roughly 3 hours ago on their FB story they posted a countdown time of just under 15 hours, which would be around 7am EST tomorrow morning.

Any idea what this might be?

-Marc.

I hope it's the long overdue announcement of Diego's replacement.

Meanwhile, Diego has been recording music with a new band which seems to include Eric Gillette :metal

Indeed, that's why I'm slightly more open here than elsewhere on the net. :lol :heart Like about the Diego situation back when that was announced.

I saw that Diego is doing something, which excites me, but where did you read about Eric?

HOF

Here's the announcement. Pete Jones back in the keyboard seat.

https://www.loudersound.com/news/haken-announce-return-of-original-keyboard-player-pete-jones

Not familiar enough with early Haken to know if that's a good thing or not. He played in Nova Collective though which I thought was pretty cool.

Nekov

Oh wow, he looks just like Rich! It's insane how alike you guys look  :lol

ariich

Yay! :D

He was 15-16 at the time, so I wouldn't use it as much of an indicator. :lol

QuoteHe played in Nova Collective though which I thought was pretty cool.
That's definitely more relevant. He also has a electronic solo project (Nested Shapes) and provided electronic drums and a few other bits and bobs on Vector and Virus.
