HAKEN Announces New Live Album, Streams “Beneath The White Rainbow”

Haken has just announced their new live album Liveforms: An Evening With Haken, due out on May 9. The album showcases Haken playing their entire Fauna record alongside some classics, and even a new song called “Strainwreck”. The band is now streaming “Beneath The White Rainbow” which you can check out above. Pre-orders are available here.

“The Evening With Haken tour across North America and Europe was without a doubt one of our favourite tours we’ve done, showcasing 3 hours of music from our entire discography, including our latest record Fauna performed in full which was an absolute blast!” said Haken of the release.

“Conducting an ‘evening with’ format is something that we’ve seen tried and tested by some of our favourite artists, and it felt like an important band bucket list item to tick off at this stage in our career, to celebrate all we’ve achieved in the last 15 years. When discussions arose as to which show we might document on film, it was a no-brainer for us that our homecoming show in London, at the legendary 02 Kentish Town Forum, should be the one. And the home crowd did not disappoint, on what turned out to be such an electric atmosphere, we just so happened to capture one of our best performances from the entire tour for our fans to relive again and again.”a

Liveforms: An Evening With Haken was filmed by Paul Green Productions (Devin Townsend, Steve Hackett) and mixed by Jens Bogren (Between The Buried and Me, Ihsahn). The 3CD+Blu-ray release comprises all the music played on that evening, in both stereo & 5.1 Surround Sound, as well as bonus behind the scenes interviews with each band member.
