Haken may be the best band working at the moment.. Yes, I am aware of Periphery, Riverside, Bent Knee etc, but there is something with Haken, especially earlier Haken, that really rules!!!!
My favorite Haken song! Love it so much. Marigold -> The Sect transition will always be one of if not the coolest transition I've ever listened. And Ectobius Rex riff is the nastiest Haken riff to me.
They way they write and synergize their musicality thorughout their whole instrumentation (including vocals, obviously) is just mezmerizing. This is just art, and I am all here for that!
Gotta hand it to ya Doug, you really know how to get me into some killer new music. I haven't been in a metal mood in months, you just ripped me out of my no-metal slump with this one, this band really knows what they're doing sonically speaking! For such a heavy band, I love how I can hear the bass being punchy and heavy as hell! Everything is fantastic! Thanks again Doug!!!!!
Some of the callbacks to Vector, especially in Ectobius Rex suggests that the Cockroach King may also be the patient in The Good Doctor. "Crawl out of my skin, a cell keeps dividing; Memories of electricity; Rid this plague within, the veil finally lifts."
Doug, "A Cell Divides" is the last song on their album Vector. In Ectobius Rex, at the 2:44 mark, that part is a call back to the first song on Virus called "Prosthetic". It's from the middle section of Prosthetic (2nd half of the guitar solo section). Very cool stuff!
Always great seeing Haken! If you would like to listen to similar Bands I'd suggest "Nospūn". They just released their debut Album "Opus" last year and it's a concept Album comparable to Dream Theater's "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory", so maybe that would be a candidate for a full Album reaction. As a single Track I'd suggest either "The Death of Simpson" or "Earwyrm", but considering there's a continuous story that's being told (and an Overture), I'd save it for a full listening.
Doug has reacted to And Then There was One on his Patreon council live listen. He was intrigued and the album is up for vote for a full listen on his discord.
I have just seen them live here in Toronto for the 3rd time. Virus is my favourite album, thank you for shedding light into this great piece (Messiah Complex) it helped me understand and appreciate it even more.

Great video! You should listen to Vector and Virus in full. All the songs on these albums tell a single story
I'm so jealous that you guys are getting the 'An evening with Haken' concerts. I really hope they bring them to the UK. I saw them live for the first time last year in Glasgow and they were absolutely amazing.
This is excellent, and thank you. I first heard Haken through your channel, and I wanted to recommend this piece for a listen soon after I heard it some time ago... mostly for the Cockroach King references. I have always loved the Metal Monday concept. There is also much to discover also with Mastodon. Mastodon Mondays? Just putting it out there.
I love the attempts to decipher the story, and you made some pretty insightful connections, but without analysing the entirety of Vector and Virus there's just no way you were gonna get the whole picture. The Messiah Complex is the culmination of two whole albums based on Haken's singular most iconic song, the Cockroach King.
That was a cool experience. This was the first reaction video I watched with you where I hadn’t heard the song before. Normally i have the piece memorized. So hearing you pick up on things quicker than I was, was really fascinating!
Saw Haken last spring. Great show and surprisingly diverse audience! My fave tracks are still from The Mountain. If you haven't yet, check out Falling Back to Earth and Pareidolia. Both heavy, epic tracks over 10 minutes long.
Great breakdown on this epic piece! Glad you get to see their "Evening with" set. I saw it in Fort Worth this past week and it was fantastic! It was my second time seeing them live and they were even better than the first time I saw them. You will have an absolute blast.
This was my first exposure to this group and will say I found them very interesting! I have never been much of a fan of Heavy Metal like Iron Maiden and groups like that, but this one got my attention!
This is very much on the heavier end of their music, so you should give them a further listen. The Mountain seems to be a favorite among Prog Rock fans.
Some more vague speculation, I think the Ivory Tower is almost referring to the spinal column. The first cervical vertebrae is referred to as Atlas (pulling us back to the metaphors of The Mountain, Atlas Stone, Cockroach King, etc)
Thanx for acquainting me -a 68 year old ole’ progheadw/ great contemporary bands like HAKEN, [- andBig BigTrain-, for that matter!],,,as aCancerian -Moonchild- water sign -I am currently ‘addicted’ to Haken’s mermaid saga -‘AQUARIUS’ -which iam absolutely smitten with!thanx, Proffesor DOUG!! !!
Aquarius is my favorite as well. Visions my 2nd favorite. Doug reacted to the first 4 albums on his Patreon. Each one is a treat. Well worth paying a one month subscription to Patreon.
Besides the obvious Cockroach King and vector/virus callbacks in Messiah Complex, there are also some other ideas that are revisited. Such as Ectobius Rex opening riff being a different key of the Shapeshifter opening from Visions. :)
I've seen Haken three times now, the most recent of which was this past Wednesday in Cincinati... As if you don't already know, you're in for a treat! They played a really great setlist!
I saw both "An Evening With Haken" shows in Southern California earlier last month - 6 hours of prog over two nights. Never heard a better setlist in my life - back to back was just so delicious. And this was after seeing Which One is Pink? tribute band and then Tool twice a few nights later. 5 prog shows in 7 nights. It was a lot but oh so damn worth it.
My first listen to this song was wild because the whole time I kept asking myself "why do I know these melodies already" then the cockroach king part hit and I all of a sudden understood. Seeing this live last year with people moshing throughout the whole thing was an absolute highlight to me, in a year where I went to more shows than any other year. I've been hoping to hear your take on this one for a while!
Wow this is timely, because I just saw Haken live last night!! The whole concert was awesome, but Ross Jennings and Raymond Hearne were especially on point.
Saw them in Indianapolis last week! You are in for a treat. I was exhausted by the end of it, there was just so much going on! Definitely one of the most memorable concerts I've been to. And kinda funny to watch people try and headbang to the odd time signatures 😆
I had never heard of Haken until I saw them at Progpower USA in I think it was 2014. Wow! Seems like it was yesterday. Also, the year before, I saw a band, also the year before, I saw a band called Leprous; by the name I expected garbage. I was so wrong. They were phenomenal. If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend them. It's interesting because all the other bands were people I knew of but these became two of my favorite bands of all time.
Doug, always enjoy your perspectives and breakdowns of excellent prog metal! I too will be seeing Haken again this tour, next week! (got to se them twice last year,looking forward to hearing the entire fauna album, so I had to go again;)) Would love to hear you analyze any tracks from that record, esp Elephants Never Forget, and maybe even Eyes of Ebony. ...Another great record recently released is Caligula's Horse new masterpiece "Charcoal Grace" I hope you'll take the time to delve into the lead and end tracks from this excellent record, "The World Breathes With Me" and "Mute" - callbacks from each other abound there as well ;) enjoy!
This song just gets Vector and Virus + Cockroach King together, blends it into one epic song (well 5 songs but you know), and it is amazing start to finish.
And we have liftoff ! Man, this epic really is something, and your commentary, as always, is marvelous. But dude, you HAVE to give a try to Charlie Griffiths's solo album, Tiktaalika. It's a treasure trove of metal callbacks. The man knows his "classics", and it's a delight from start to finish.
I would really love more Haken videos, like for example "Elephants Never Forget", it's very rhythmically interesting! Or anything else from fauna, honestly.
Hey, I'm not sure where/when you saw them but I saw them in NYC and their set list was crazy. Crystallised and Visions?! Amazing Also Ross learned to scream?
This section: "Where I end you begin; When I fall you will stand." refers to the "vector" album. This music refers to all the "messias" throught their discografy.
I saw Haken at Download last year, they were absolutely brilliant. Had it not been for Metallica headlining, Haken would have been my absolute highlight.
I would really love to see your reaction to a song by vildhjarta, especially their newer songs are extremely interesting in my opinion. They took a lot of inspiration from Meshuggah and definitely take some time to really get into, which is why I don´t think that you would really like their sound. Nevertheless I would be really interested in your opinion on their music
I agree with you. This screams Cockroach King to me. I hope you enjoy the show! I’ll be seeing them on the Cruise to the Edge. A little irony. I’ll miss most of their theater performance sadly. I am a passenger/musician and they are playing when I am performing 2 songs that night. One of them is Cockroach King…
Pete Rinaldi is a monster of a guitar player. He played in both Headspace albums, and I suggest also these ones for listening and eventually a reaction
Here's a fun little fact about the title of the last section: "Ectobius" is a genus of cockroaches, and "Rex" is latin for king, which means that this bit of the album is named "Cockroach King", just in a slightly disguised way.
Hey...I love your work, you have covered a lot of my fav bands...but i would love you to check out the Beatles last song they recorded together...The End on Abbey Road, with the 3 guitar shoot out at the end all like in the same room...golden!
Don’t sleep on vector. The first half of the album is slightly underwhelming, but the last four songs on the album are absolutely incredible and imo some of the most underrated pieces in their discography.

Seeing this track live was ultra exhilarating! The entire venue yelling "Hail to the King!" at the top of their lungs gave me chills!
THAT'S WHY I WANT TO SEE IT LIVE! OMG!
They are indeed truly amazing live. Such a privilege to have seen them.
I'm sure Doug caught the Cockroach King motifs, but it really is gratifying being able to recognize all the call backs included in this epic track!
IMO the most important prog-rock band on Earth, of the last 15 years, without a doubt
Haken may be the best band working at the moment.. Yes, I am aware of Periphery, Riverside, Bent Knee etc, but there is something with Haken, especially earlier Haken, that really rules!!!!
@Doug Helving - the last movement is called "Ectobius Rex" which is literally Latin for "Cockroach King"
Dang I love that one and had no idea what the name meant. SICK, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
@@qugorion5153 the band has said in interviews that both the album Vector and Virus are the backstory for The Cockroach King.
I saw Haken live for the first time last week in Toronto. They somehow manage to be even better live.
Last year they did the whole Messiah Complex live! I just saw An Evening with in Indy last week and again blown away by them.
Yep they did the Messiah complex in the previous Toronto show, to end the show. It was incredible, as was the most recent show 🤘
I've seen them on their EU tour last year, where they also played this in full length. Mind-boggling!
I've seen them live in september in here in Italy.... 3 full hours of haken music, that was one of the best nights of my life
My favorite Haken song! Love it so much. Marigold -> The Sect transition will always be one of if not the coolest transition I've ever listened. And Ectobius Rex riff is the nastiest Haken riff to me.
Yeah, When 'The Sect' kicks in, there is no way you're not gonna bang your head.
Ectobius Rex riff its so gooooood
Agreed heavily! One of my favorite all time transitions. Masterful.
Ray Hearne seriously is a different beast
He really is. He was unreal in the Tronto show last night!
The guy is from another planet! He is right alongside Gavin Harrison, Danny Carey and Marco Minneman in my book
@@pearlexportdrums100%, he's one of the best drummers going right now
don't forget jay postones, he's pretty good too
They way they write and synergize their musicality thorughout their whole instrumentation (including vocals, obviously) is just mezmerizing. This is just art, and I am all here for that!
Always appreciate it when you platform Haken, Doug!!! It’s tough for prog rock/metal bands out there and Haken deserves the world. What a song
My first listening of this group. Wildly impressed by the guitar discipline. Great stuff by the rest of the band.
Gotta hand it to ya Doug, you really know how to get me into some killer new music. I haven't been in a metal mood in months, you just ripped me out of my no-metal slump with this one, this band really knows what they're doing sonically speaking! For such a heavy band, I love how I can hear the bass being punchy and heavy as hell! Everything is fantastic! Thanks again Doug!!!!!
Would love to see Doug listen to some TesseracT
Anyways, love me some Haken!

I have just seen them live here in Toronto for the 3rd time.
Virus is my favourite album, thank you for shedding light into this great piece (Messiah Complex) it helped me understand and appreciate it even more.
Great video! You should listen to Vector and Virus in full. All the songs on these albums tell a single story
It's so relaxing watching you just vibe along and explaining things
I'm so jealous that you guys are getting the 'An evening with Haken' concerts. I really hope they bring them to the UK. I saw them live for the first time last year in Glasgow and they were absolutely amazing.
Twas an amazing night!

I love your videos on Haken, Doug. It's like sitting down with a cool dude and listening to some music I dig.
This is excellent, and thank you. I first heard Haken through your channel, and I wanted to recommend this piece for a listen soon after I heard it some time ago... mostly for the Cockroach King references.

They're truely amazing and creative musicians. Dont miss them out.
Btw, "The Endless Knot" is my ringtone for years.
This is very much on the heavier end of their music, so you should give them a further listen. The Mountain seems to be a favorite among Prog Rock fans.
Love that outro of Ectobius Rex and how they just lean into that riff. Great suite!!
Best outro !! You can also hear it during Prosthetic
Had no idea Doug and I had such similar taste! He’s so good at reviewing and reacting to good music.
Some more vague speculation, I think the Ivory Tower is almost referring to the spinal column. The first cervical vertebrae is referred to as Atlas (pulling us back to the metaphors of The Mountain, Atlas Stone, Cockroach King, etc)

This definitely feels the shortest of all prog metal epics of similar length, it just keeps hitting harder and harder as it goes along
An Evening with Haken was amazing, saw it in Fort Worth. Also seen them with Symphony X, Leprous, and Devin Townsend, always great show.
My first listen to this song was wild because the whole time I kept asking myself "why do I know these melodies already" then the cockroach king part hit and I all of a sudden understood.

wait adam does the bass solo here?
America has absolutely felt like hell on earth since 2020.

Don’t sleep on vector. The first half of the album is slightly underwhelming, but the last four songs on the album are absolutely incredible and imo some of the most underrated pieces in their discography.
What did you think of the show when you saw it?
The shimmering of the voice reminds me of Psychotic Waltz, but they are much less prog.
Man! In order to understand and find all the easter eggs and musical themes you need to listen to the Vector album first
Hang on a minute, where the hell did you get that t shirt from? Getting one of those is now my top priority in life.
At one of their shows…love this shirt!
The vector and virus album explain the backstory of the cockroach king!
Still bummed that after "Vector" and "Virus" the next album was NOT named "Vaccine". ;-)
