Haken - To Embark On 10th Anniversary Tour


Next year, proggers Haken will be celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band, hot on the heels of the release of their critically acclaimed fourth album, Affinity. And of course they will mark the occasion with special shows. The band will go out on a headline tour of Europe in March and April, with tickets on sale this Wednesday. InsideOutMusic will also reissue the band's first two albums, Aquarius and Visions, on February 3rd, 2017 in new remastered 2CD editions, as well as vinyl for the very first time.

The band had the following to say: "We are delighted to announce our Haken X European tour in celebration of our 10th anniversary. We'll be returning to some of our favourite cities and also paying a visit to several new countries including Austria, Hungary, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic. In honour of the ten years Haken has existed, we'll be revisiting material from our entire back catalogue with a special focus on our first two albums Aquarius and Visions, which are to be re-released in advance of the tour. We sincerely hope you join us for this special run of shows and we'd be overjoyed to see each of y'all there!"

On the reissues they comment: "We can't wait for people to hear these albums in their brilliant new and remastered form. Both Aquarius and Visions hold a special place in our hearts as well as the fans' and we wanted to make sure we brought them back in a fresh and exciting way. Listeners will be able to enjoy the nuances in our instrumental arrangements and also embrace the complete audio experience of vinyl. We're looking forward to revisiting much of this music on stage for our fans around Europe in our upcoming 10th anniversary tour."

The band's first and second albums Aquarius and Visions have been newly remastered by the renowned Jens Bogren ( Devin Townsend, Between The Buried And Me), who worked with the band on their last two albums, bringing these records up to the sonic quality of their most recent output. They will both be available as 2CD digipaks including the entire albums as instrumentals, and it will also mark the first time that either album has been available on vinyl, arriving as gatefold heavyweight 2LP editions with the full album on CD included.

The band will also be heading out on Cruise To The Edge from the 7th February 2017, and will be performing Visions in its entirety at Prog Power USA on the 6th September 2017.

Hell yeah Aquarius is going to be re-released. Can't find any copy of that record anywhere near me. Those first two albums is what got me into this band and I hope they will be playing a lot of material from those records on the anniversary tour.
