Formed in London in 2007, Haken have grown into one of the most exciting names in modern progressive metal. Built around the songwriting of multi-instrumentalist Richard Henshall and the soaring voice of Ross Jennings, the band made their mark with an ambitious debut, Aquarius (2010), a concept album that set the tone for everything to follow: elaborate, adventurous and full of surprises.
From there they just kept climbing. The Mountain (2013) proved a real turning point, with the single "Cockroach King" winning them fans well beyond the prog world, while Affinity (2016) folded in shimmering 1980s textures to broaden their sound. Later albums Vector (2018), Virus (2020) and Fauna (2023) show a band still restlessly experimenting, weaving jazz, djent and cinematic drama into sprawling songs. Across seven studio albums they've built a reputation for technical brilliance and real emotional heft, and it all comes alive on stage, where their ambitious arrangements and sheer energy make for an unforgettable night.
