9:23 : "...Tonight i hang by a thread As the voice in my head takes control Of this pain that i have felt before On trial my confidence weakens I'm close to defeat But tonight the verdict will be televised Calling no witnesses to the stand Clearing my name with no evidence Knowing this could be my final chance No one is coming to my defense..." soo fuckin great!! :D
Thank god for the vocalist. I'm so used to screaming banshees and pre-teen-boy-sound-alikes that I've simply become accustomed to searching for instrumentals when I dig around for new metal bands. Welcome change of pace.
@FaceDownDagon Amen brother! I fucking hate screaming... I come from a classical backround (learned chello for 9 years) so I can't anything that doesn't have a beautiful melody! I love this band because of that! It's always beautiful and the texts have MEANING!
@FaceDownDagon I'm with you on that one man, given screaming is present in a lot of metal I tend to avoid bands that use it a lot, though it's pretty much impossible to avoid completely.
Even though Haken uses some harsh vocals on some tracks, it's totally over-ridden by their sheer excellence!
The new album is a breath of fresh air as far as vocals go, but that's just like my opinion, man.
The second album is always the most difficult: Haken have just blown that myth well and truly away. His voice continues to entrance, and makes my heart flutter. One word= unbeatable.
i got to get a fretless bass, dat sound!

Oh hey there, 9/8 time signature. Missed you a bunch. These guys are gonna be immense. It would be a travesty if they didn't make it big.

@TheXenProject not particularily, i think it sounds more like Haken. To be fair, it is Haken, but i dont think i can compare another band
