Hello, folks! It’s been a while since my last post. Those who know me in real life should know that our family grew from 2 to 3 in July 2022. Getting a baby boy has changed many things in our lives, and routines now revolve around the little one.

A decent amount of water has flown through river Thames since my last update. Actually, it doesn’t matter that much what’s flowing in Thames right now because I left the UK for good. I am now living in Sydney, Australia so that’s quite a jump to the other side of the world!

I had totally missed Haken until very recently. I remember having an opportunity to see them live in 2019 but I was busy with something else and didn’t want to squeeze another gig in my diary.

Haken are sounding quite a lot like Between the Buried And Me but without the growl vocals and their songs are shorter. It’s a mix and match of different styles but stays pretty well in the progressive metal territory. If you’d put Dream Theater, Karnivool and Between the Buried And Me in a mixer, you would possibly get the base ingredients of Haken out.
