Fauna signals a lyrical departure for Haken; their first album without an overarching story, it’s comprised of unconnected songs sharing a theme of animal-human behavioural parallels. Considering their previous multi-album concept arc resulted in them releasing an album called Virus during a global pandemic and having its release disrupted by said pandemic, one can understand why they may not have wanted to give fate a chance to be tempted this time around.

Very unfortunate album title for the new Haken album, given the circumstances.

Haken have became a household name in progressive metal ever since their breakout album The Mountain, and Affinity proved their willingness to grow beyond being Dream Theater copycats. Where to now?
