Well, today i thought, let's check out Haken, a band that's been in my queue for a while, and surprisingly they released a song 30 minutes ago. Great timing
This song is not really representative of their overall sound. It's great but their discography is very varied, so check out more if you haven't already!
Haken are such a versatile band and their albums/songs all sound distinctive. Check out Earthrise and Streams (happy progressive metal) compared to something like Nil By Mouth (more djenty). Enjoy listening to their stuff - they're a great band!
@@UndeadSasuke34 try listening to Because Its There afterwards, then Cockroach King, then Crystallised, then Earthrise. All so different from one another.
Easily one of the best modern "prog" bands out there who have grown into a true force to be reckoned with. Drawing on bands like Dream Theater, Meshuggah, RUSH and others, Haken have truly carved their own niche in the genre. This new songs bodes well for their continued future!
@@Daniel_Alves1993 The intro is actually almost the same as the rhythmic pattern found in the guitar/snare paired sections of "The Test That Stumped Them All." Probably accidental, but I love the pattern, so no complaints here!
5-10 years from now, people will still be discovering this music and thinking about how revolutionary these guys are with their music. I'm just glad I was here to see this album begin with the ketchup and mustard memes.
Dude, the mix in this song is stellar. Everything hits so damn hard. That guitar tone is ridiculous. Out of the whole song the part at 2:35 is just perfect, the way everything accentuates and plays off the other. I just saw Haken live with Devin Townsend and they blew me away. (Embarrassed to say I hadn’t heard of them before.) Ever since then I’ve been listening through their catalogue and have been beyond impressed!
Have you guys said 'thank you' for being alive in the same century when Haken is making music? This band is a gift to society. We don't deserve them. The hype is real here!
Interesting mix of sounds going on here. Really enjoying that one Devin/SYL inspired riff with the harmonies layer atop the jagged octave riff (is there a proper term for that style of riff that Devin does?)

What an absolute wall of sound. No compromises, no time to catch your breath, instrumental expertise way beyond regular musicians skillsets and arrangements so complex, they will hold surprises for you even after years of listening to it. Man am I glad those boys are back with a new album. My favorite band in the world.
Wow. Randomly got this as a TH-cam ad. One of the best ads I've got. The lead singer's voice is really melodic and Refreshing in contrast to that deep Screaming I expected. Props to you guys.
Listen carefully to this track, there's way more going on that you hear at first, like all Haken's music, there are layers and harmonies that you have to seek out, that's what makes them so great!
That's funny, for me it all grabs me like some kind of lovecraftian monster and my brain tosses out a segfault. Like, just immediately boils up and forces my attention. Not much can do that do me. It's like "Wooooaaaahhhh" the song, the album, the band.
Riff at 3:46 is the section that stays with me the strongest. Really hoping that's a musical theme they return to on the rest of the album. So excited for more from them.
For some reason, I was reminded of "Build Me Up, Break Me Down" and "A Rite Of Passage". There are definitely influences from the heavier songs from Dream Theater's catalogue.
Major props to the main actor: they did a great job of bringing that character to life with such visceral acting. The video would be lesser without such a committed performance.
Glad i found this comment. I though i was alone. Nothing wrong in that part (the begining). The bad part is that after he intro it was more of a "i want a single" type of generic metal band (straight out of roadrunner type of band) and less of a modern prog metal band with sparkles of old prog...as they came put in the first albums. Heither way....i whish them the best as an full album has "space" to fill all of the purposes and they already done more than enough for the genre to do as they please.
One of Haken's best singles. This song ROCKS. Before Ross explained the connection to "Vector" I could already tell based off lyrical concept and overall structure it was a continuation. So stoked for the album!
@@scutrera2 I do like James LaBrie, but sometimes I wish Russell Allen was suddenly the lead singer of Dream Theater too. Hopefully we get some new Symphony X soon.
Mark Carson Jr, I take it you agree? It's not like I'm wrong when it's just an opinion. I'm hearing Devin Townsend influences thrown over what I think a gazillion metal bands sound like. Cockroach King? Nothing like it. Crystallized? Nothing like it
Gotta admit, the guitars, drums and everything is pretty chocolate cakey. Bass drum is perfect, not a cockroach-to-windscreen-"bass" drum but a proper one, with punch and air. Snare cuts through just the right amount most of the time. Still, I'm missing actual ringing toms in modern metal music, but I guess they take it out because it makes the mix muddy or something? But seriously, the toms' ring doesn't cut through at all, as if it was just 100% taken out deliberately. I mean, if the toms are played 3 % of the time, why can't they just ring like they should, I don't get it
@@nenissaK Sorta answered your own question. Sure maybe he only plays the toms 3% of time overall, but its not like he hits one tom every thirty seconds or something, he hits a bunch of them all in a short period of time like in a fill or something like 2:15. All that ringiness would just get in the way and clutter things up real quick
Caligula's Horse with "The Tempest" Lamb of God with "Memento Mori" The Black Dahlia Murder with "Verminous" And now even Haken with a new song. God this is just getting better!
Wow!! I think the time they spent touring with Mike Portnoy's Shattered fortress.... Really inspired Them musically....their riffs and sound are a lot heavier now. What do u think? Love haken from Aquarius to present. GREAT BAND.
Oh that Matrixbrute is still part of Diegos sound on the album, awesome! I loved it on vector, it just fits in really nicely with the heavy guitars. Bass tone is pretty sick as well. Cant wait to hear the rest of the album.
Je connaissais pas le groupe. très bonne découverte. morceau très bien écrit. Des influences de DT et de Devin Townsend. Du groove, de l'efficacité. de la mélodie sans jamais tomber dans le mièvre. bravo
It’s a Fear Factory/Devin Townsend mash up with a splash of Dream Theater. And this is a good thing. A band who has got heavier with each album. Love it!!!!

Nice! Looking forward to hear the full album! Enjoyed you guys a lot in Berlin as you supported Devin Townsend. But your stage time was too short! Hope to see you again soon.
So ein Hammer geiler Opener, das Album ist mega... Eines der geilsten der letzten Jahre... Und mit so einem Kracher zu starten ... Kann gar nicht genug bekommen!
Cool seeing them embracing their heavy elements. They killed it for sure. I do miss the mystical sounding softer dynamics from aquarius, visions, and the mountain, and I sure hope these guys have years together to go back to that side when they're feeling it. For now, enjoy the brutality.
I love nearly every Haken song, both old and new. But they have said that the album is their most eclectic to date and that it bridges the story from Vector to Cockroach King. I've got a feeling we'll get some Cockroach King callbacks and "weirder" songs!
This whole album flows so smoothly, each song is unique and diverse from the next while also being diverse within the song itself. This album is one that's hard to not listen to just one song and move on, I want to listen to the album front to back each time my setlist pulls a random song from it. Haken, you guys are awesome!
I noticed you guys are getting more and more djent and metal oriented with every album I also like that concept of connecting albums thematically, lirically and stilistically
Yes! I read someone say they've become less unique over time. Please point me to any band that has songs that sound like The Good Doctor, Puzzle Box or Veil. I'd be more than interested to check them out!
It’s a trend with a lot of bands to compare them to others. But it’s not a bad thing - it’s gives more options to listen to! Besides, no other band gets as wide a variety of comparisons as Haken.
They've changed a lot from their Aquarius days. Each album has a unique sound imo, with some similarities but mostly their own thing. Some people don't like changes, but imo Haken has been great each time.

Only virus I'm excited for.. ❤️
Now every time people will type "Virus" on Google they'll be hit with some hard hitting Haken riffs hahaha
And they totally didn't do that on purpose ;)
I doubt it, If anything it'll work in reverse. People looking for haken being stuck wading through dozens of Cvirus articles.
Years of listenning to Dream Theater give its results when you realise you're able to headbang to this song folliwing the exact tempo.

Awaking up to this, best morning i had in months!! Loved the song :D
Is the head on Charlie's guitar a prosthetic or would it be the result of a virus mutation?
crazy. one of the best tracks ive heard from them
Best thing on the internet today!
most days
Haven't listened to new stuff that is that awesome in years.....
Dude if this shit don't break necks idk what will
Soon, we will be gathered at small venues around the world, and Haken will open with this Heavy AF hitter. Cannot wait.
see you there (:
Is having a beard a requirement to play in Haken?
KILLER STUFF GUYS!
awesome!
love from Portugal
What a naughty song. Goosebump all over my body. Thanks cant wait for more.
Did anyone else noticed that the doctor in 2:39 has/shows a drawing of every Haken album in order?
Yes! So cool!!!
This whole album flows so smoothly, each song is unique and diverse from the next while also being diverse within the song itself. This album is one that's hard to not listen to just one song and move on, I want to listen to the album front to back each time my setlist pulls a random song from it. Haken, you guys are awesome!
Dis sum fookin‘ metal boizzz!!! DID YOU TAKE YOUR EVIL PILLS TODAY????
Boy, I love this comment.

Nice profile pic
I noticed you guys are getting more and more djent and metal oriented with every album
I also like that concept of connecting albums thematically, lirically and stilistically
This sounds totally like... HAKEN! Let's compliment the guys for once, and just stop always naming other bands ':- )
Yes! I read someone say they've become less unique over time. Please point me to any band that has songs that sound like The Good Doctor, Puzzle Box or Veil. I'd be more than interested to check them out!
It’s a trend with a lot of bands to compare them to others. But it’s not a bad thing - it’s gives more options to listen to! Besides, no other band gets as wide a variety of comparisons as Haken.
They've changed a lot from their Aquarius days. Each album has a unique sound imo, with some similarities but mostly their own thing. Some people don't like changes, but imo Haken has been great each time.
Bravissimo Synergo !
