Haken Affinity

2016, Recorded during the winter months of 2015, AFFINITY marks a new approach to the song-writing process for Haken. Like much of Haken's previous music, AFFINITY is full of surprises and ,,The Architect", the album's centrepiece, is no exception. Blasting through a dizzying array of instrumental insanity coupled with down-tempo atmospheric tenuity, Haken welcomes friend and Leprous frontman Einar Solberg mid-song for a spot of guest vocals! Just one of many twists and turns throughout this 60-minute musical lobotomy, Haken's AFFINITY will open up a new dimension in this UK sextet's trajectory. The band once again called upon Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Between The Buried And Me) for mixing and mastering duties. ´He is a wizard in this department! We are always confident his mix will bring out the best from our performance and this is no exception`, remarks keyboardist Diego Tejeida.
