Description:
Haken, one of the leading bands in the world of modern progressive music, releases "Fauna," their seventh album in about three years.Haken, a six-piece progressive rock band formed in London in 2007, has released six studio albums since their debut in 2010. Their sound is characterized by an epic fusion of modern metal and 70's prog rock with superb melodies. The band is one of the most active in the modern prog-rock scene. Fauna", the band's seventh album in three years, marks the return of Peter Jones (keyboard), who left the band 14 years ago to pursue his studies.The album title "Fauna" means "fauna," a general expression for all the animals that inhabit a particular region or time period. When we started writing the songs, we assumed we would assign one animal to each song.The album is as conceptual as the band's name implies. The creaking heavy metal chords, clean guitar picking, exuberant choruses, and vibrant bass lines are all the essence of Heiken's work, beautifully condensed and sublimated into a new, exciting work.Includes a 2-CD mediabook (CD2 contains instrumentals of all songs on the album).
