Proud to introduce HAKEN.....progressive metal virtuoso band.....
Members include Tom and Hen from the awesome To-Mera and Charlie of Linear Sphere Legend and the almost mythical Anchorhead.....so much guitar talent on stage.....also Ray, one of the most creative drummers on the progressive scene today, Diego a keyboard Maestro and producer from Mexico, currently based in London, topped off with their powerful and charismatic vocalist, Ross.
Formed in the Summer of 2007, Haken are an awesome Live band featuring two guitarists and two keyboard players..... to give rich textures and layers of sound.
Within weeks of their first gig, the word began to spread and they won the coveted support slot for Riverside, on their first UK visit, at an epic sell Out show at the Camden Underworld in November 2007....and have gone on to play the Peel and The House of Progression, double heading with Anchorhead, Into the Woods and Season's End and playing the Purple Turtle with Son of Science and Sorcerer's Spell, plus many other gigs around London, playing to enthusiastic audiences.
In January this year they secured the prized support slots for KINGS X at the Wulfrun Hall and another sell out show at the Legendary Electric Ballroom in Camden,,,,,,,they were on fire both nights and both sets were enthusiastically received.
The Band is currently working on and rehearsing their debut album, preparing to record in the Autumn and negotiating arrangements for a New Year release.
Dream ambition is to be invited by Mike Portnoy to play on one of the Progressive Nation Tours in the USA or UK.
