In July 2007, HAKEN showcased their music for the very first time to a packed out London bar with a great response, followed the next week by a sold out show at The Peel in Kingston. Within months of this double-debut performance, HAKEN were billed in support of RIVERSIDE (Inside Out) at Camden’s prestigious Underworld. HAKEN continued performing sets to packed houses throughout London and on UK tours in support of cult metal bands KING’S X (Inside Out), BIGELF (Custard Records), and TO-MERA.
They continue to extend their fan base having played to date: The Camden Underworld, The Electric Ballroom, The Nottingham Rescue Rooms, The Wulfrun Halls, The Bull and Gate, The Manchester Academy, The House of Progression, ProgPower Europe - Baarlo, The Netherlands, Summers End, The Camden Barfly, The Purple Turtle, The Brighton Freebutt, The Star, The Flag, The Peel, Leonards…more to come…
One of HAKEN’s demo tracks was featured on the cover CD for the second issue of ‘CLASSIC ROCK PRESENTS PROG’ magazine in 2009.
HAKEN meld metal with progressive rock, drawing influences from contemporary bands like Dream Theater and IQ as well as “old school” icons Genesis and Queen.

Very honest & high quality progressive metal.

LAMPDANIEL I completely agree with you, everyone "underrating" this band after actually listening to them would be a total fool. Btw I think the prog-rock community is just stuck with DREAM THEATER and quit lazily looking for other bands.
-
MikeDoyle They aren't underrated...they are underexposed. Underrated means people don't give them enough credit for how good they are - and I would argue most people that actually end up listening to them give them more than enough praise. The problem lies in no one knowing who they are yet :) Yet....they will be 'prog' huge in the next 2 years. Give em a Dream Theater supporting tour and a third album and they will be set.

Inklings22 This band is my musical saving grace. In an age of crapstep and electronica bs, and a dying Progressive Metal genre, these guys are exemplifying the symphonic and melodic aspects of Prog-music. Thank God. I had nearly given up hope. "Visions" is Haken's "Metropolis, Pt. II." I only hope these guys can make it big and make a stop by Raleigh in North Carolina. Would love to see them live.

Can't believe I didn't know about this band. They were COMPLETELY under my radar. Visions is probably one of 2011's best albums that I have overlooked.

ConorFynes I interviewed these dudes for Prog Archives, they are a killer band. I'd even say they are the new kings of progressive metal.
