Biography

London, United Kingdom (2007 – present)

Haken are arguably the most exciting sound to emerge from the modern progressive movement. Formed in 2007, Haken is a virtuoso / band from London, England, comprising some of the country’s finest young musicians. Featured in the band are members of To-Mera and Linearsphere and Anchorhead.

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.

    Haken is the band that Dream Theater never could be. If they have huge ego's, then it doesn't show in their music. No noodling whatsoever. Their music is incredibly beautiful and passionate. I can't wait for future releases and to see them live.

    Only listened to a song here and there before. Finally listening to an album in its totality. Wow! This is some of the best prog I've heard in a while.

    I'm leaving the "Haken" group I created back in 2012. If anyone is interested in its leadership, feel free to contact me.

    I really love Dream Theater's Images And Words, not other works -maybe Dream And Day Unite. I don't like comparing groups but these guys remind me Images And Words. Making this kind of Dream Music... and more.

    One of the most underrated band ever. Cant believe that precious jewel cant gain more popularity (at least about x100 from current stand). Its just too inequitable. Anyway, fact of existance of THIS level sublime music give a ppl another small reason to live.
