Our Take

HAKEN's latest album, Fauna, is a progressive metal masterpiece that throws caution to the wind and dares to be different. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you're transported on a sonic journey that's equal parts mind-bending and euphoric.

The band's musicianship is on full display here, with intricate guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and soaring vocals that could make even the most hardened metalhead shed a tear. Tracks like "The Strata" and "King of the Forest" showcase HAKEN's ability to seamlessly blend complex time signatures with catchy hooks, creating a head-banging experience that's as exhilarating as it is unforgettable.

But it's not just the technical prowess that sets Fauna apart – it's also the band's willingness to experiment and push boundaries. Whether it's the hauntingly beautiful orchestral sections in "The Arborist" or the unexpected jazz influences in "The Pantheon," HAKEN keep you on your toes at every turn.

In a world where metal can sometimes feel formulaic and predictable, Fauna is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that there are still bands out there willing to take risks and challenge the status quo. So do yourself a favor and dive into the wild, wonderful world of HAKEN – you won't regret it.

So if you're looking for a band that will challenge your mind, dazzle your ears, and take you on a musical journey like no other, look no further than HAKEN.
