Progressive rockers HAKEN have released a video for new single “Invasion,” the third track taken from their forthcoming new album, Virus, the release date of which has been postponed to June 19.
The band comment: “Lyrically, ‘Invasion’ deals with themes including but not limited to anxiety, depression and suicidal tendencies. We thought that the discussion of a ‘Virus of the mind’ tied in well to the psychological themes touched upon in the sister record ‘Vector’ and lent itself to the character development of Virus’s manic protagonist.”
The new video for “Invasion” was created by Crystal Spotlight and is available above.
“Haken are a full-fledged modern progressive rock band hailing from London, England. Their sound has evolved from the prog metal on 2010’s Aquarius and 2011’s Visions to a shapeshifting, kaleidoscopic amalgam of progressive metal, jazz syncopation, hooky electronic pop, and anthemic rock & roll as heard on mature statements such as 2013’s The Mountain (2013). Along the way, Haken’s ability to craft hooks inside songs, led them into unusual — for them — territory: The band actively wove new wave elements into their sound for 2016’s Affinity, their international breakout album, thanks in no small part to first single and video for “Initiate.”” – All Music
