Haken - "Prosthetic" (videos)
Another chalk line marks the walls
Form restored
Unbroken
Altered bloodwork
Awakening
Tame the storm
Electric prosthetic parts
They can't contain them
Why, incite
The trauma
Magnetic north
On the borderline
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
So sick of these questions
I've heard them before
I don't know what it is you want to hear
The more I stare, the less becomes clear
(Eye for an eye Life for a life)
Fight or Flight
Nil by Mouth
Morphine fuels my apathy
I've become the Rorschach
Could you forget the unremembered
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
So sick of these questions
I've heard them before
I don't know what it is you want to hear
The more I stare, the less becomes clear
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
So sick of these questions
I've heard them before
I don't know what it is you want to hear
The more I stare, the less becomes clear
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
So sick of these questions
I've heard them before
I don't know what it is you want to hear
The more I stare, the less becomes clear
Στις αρχές του καλοκαιριού θα κυκλοφορήσει ο νέος δίσκος των Haken. Το έκτο full length album των Άγγλων progsters τιτλοφορείται "Virus" κι αναμένεται τις πρώτες ημέρες του Ιούνη...
Haken: «Prosthetic was the first song we completed during the ‘Virus’ writing sessions and we always felt it would be the perfect opener for the album. It’s a very guitar heavy track with its roots in 80s thrash riffing, but with the unconventional rhythmic twists and turns we often like to explore in Haken.
We sadly never had a Jeff Hanneman and Robert Fripp collaboration, but this song at least draws on inspiration from them both! Lyrically the song is a bridge between our two albums Vector and Virus. The message was brilliantly brought to life by video director Vicente Cordero, who also beautifully captured the live energy of the band in a way that both enhances the song, and perfectly sets the scene for what’s to come.»
Ray Hearne: «Since releasing ‘The Mountain’ in 2013, one question has been asked of us time and time again, ‘who is the Cockroach King?’. This is something we were interested in exploring more deeply too, so we essentially did that through our music; elaborating and expanding upon the intervallic, harmonic, rhythmic and lyrical themes of that song. The end result is in an arc which spans across two albums: ‘Vector’ and ‘Virus’.»
Richard Henshall: «Using Nolly again was a no-brainer, as we wanted the two albums to be sonically connected. But having just spent a day mixing with him in his studio, it’s obvious that this album will be an evolution of the ‘Vector’ sound. These songs seem to allow a lot more freedom of creativity with the production, so we’re excited to see where it leads.»
Δελτίο τύπου: «Progressive rockers Haken are excited to reveal their new studio album ‘Virus’, the follow-up to 2018’s acclaimed album ‘Vector’, will be released 5th June 2020.
Since releasing ‘Vector’ in October 2018, Haken have completed headline tours the world over, played sold-out shows across Europe and North America as support for Devin Townsend and picked up a Prog award for their efforts too!
All the while, they have been quietly, secretly working on the follow-up album, entitled ‘Virus’. Once again, Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood has mixed what is perhaps the most eclectic Haken album to date, with the 7 tracks revealing hints of influences from multiple genres, all intertwined with Haken’s own recognisable sound.»
