Haken v. new single Nightingale (April 26)

[gzarruk]

I'm just wondering who will leave the band after the next 3 studio albums

[NoFred]

No Fred, No. 


Sorry. Couldn't help myself. 

Perfect haha, username is exactly that... Fred is the family dog

I hope they use it!

[King Postwhore]

This needs to be shared to them.

[Metro]

I don't use social media, so if someone would be so kind 

[jammindude]

 

PLEASE Ariich!!! At least show it to them!!

Can you add a cucumber?

[King Postwhore]

That's how all us fans feel like. Lol

Shouldn't it be blue?

I'm not much of a photo editor (I just threw this together in Snapchat  ) but I added the little blue pill

When people describe the band's evolution over time, they often forget to consider that Hen stepped down as a keyboard player after The Mountain. If the band wants to differentiate the next album from Vector/Virus, adding some four-handed keyboard sections would be an option.

He also stepped down as being the main/only writer for the band. Their whole sound changed when they started writing as a full band.

I remember Nick asking Rich about this after seeing a Haken show a couple tours ago, and Hen immediately shut it down Seemed like he wanted to focus entirely on the guitar.

Yeah, which greatly saddens me, as generally speaking anytime I've seen them live and both Diego and Hen were on keys it was pretty much always some of my favorite moments of the show. My only hope at this point is that Peter being back inspires some changes in that regard.

[GasparXR]

Does Hen still play keys live on the older songs that need it? I know there's one section in Cockroach King that was him on keys, but live he started playing it on guitar instead. (which I believe stemmed from when he was unable to travel with the rest of the band due to Visa issues and Charlie played that part on guitar)

[King Postwhore]

Yes he does.

[Nel_Annette]

When Virus came out I was totally expecting a third album with a faded green cover called Vaccine, I won't lie. 

[me7]

Somehow they already did it with Aquarius. The cover is green and the lyrics talk about a "cure". It's all part of the Haken Extended Universe.

[jammindude]

I was thinking the same thing. And then someone pointed out that Affinity was mostly green. 

[The Letter M]

Yeah, a lot of the promotional material for Affinity associated the album with green, so I don't think they'll go with a green album cover this time around. If I had to guess, it might be something black or blue, and probably NOT purple since Ross just used purple for his solo album (if that's a valid excuse for not using the color, but who knows).

Whatever color(s) they pick, I hope it's none of these:



-Marc.

[NoFred]

The only band I have LPs for and they're all wall mounted. A really good run of covers so far, kind of reminds me of Metallica's first 5 though not as iconic as those. Looking forward to whatever's next

-Marc.

Is that an official image? Looks really good!

Yep! I own the towel of it, it's also available as an apron on their official store. I've got the towel magnetted onto my fridge door.

With some shows coming relatively soon for the band, I'm hoping they get to do a small headliner tour before the release of H7ken this year. I believe they also said they'd like to have a live album focused on Vector/Virus, and I don't see that happening after the new album drops.

[me7]

I hope we get a live Blu-ray focused on Vector/Virus

It was close to happening. Ross tweeted:

Tonight SHOULD have been the
@Haken_Official  live filmed performance of Vector & Virus in full at our bucket list London venue Shepherds Bush Empire, cancelled for the 2nd time! But I guess there are more tragic things happening in the world right now than me not doing a show...
