Since March 2022, we've strived to be the No. 1 source of all information regarding modern progressive metal's crown jewel, HAKEN! Here you can find everything in the band's nearly two decade long history from their early years to today.

You'll also be able to find artists, works and people related to the band and its members, like Novena, To-Mera and Nova Collective.

Message from the Institution - February 18th 2025
Heya folks! It's been a quiet last 10 or so months, and I apologise for my absence. But, I've got something pretty damn big for everybody! As some of you may be very well aware, Haken embarked on the European leg of their An Evening With HAKEN tour, with a headline show at the very end in London. I was lucky enough to get to go to that show, and the band myself!

But more importantly than that, a good friend of mine over in Germany was able to ask Richard Henshall a handful of very fan-oriented questions. They were lovely enough to transcribe it all for everybody's viewing pleasure, and has given me the full seal of approval to post this here.

So, in a sense, our little site has its very own, official, exclusive interview with a member of Haken! It's pretty damn meaty, and has a lot of cool info that wasn't publicly available before.

You can view it here, or find the link on the sidebar.
