Experimental progressive metal masters Haken are opening a new chapter in their career, and on October 7th they will perform at Klub Oczki in Warsaw! The band Ihlo will join them for the concert in the capital.
Ever since the release of their debut album “Aquarius” in 2010, it was clear that Haken were destined to become one of the leading forces on the 21st-century progressive metal scene. That status was cemented in particular with their third album, “The Mountain”, which even earned praise from Mike Portnoy himself. One of Haken’s greatest strengths has always been their ability to draw from a wide range of influences with remarkable ease, something they have continued to demonstrate throughout their discography.
This October, Haken will return to Poland with new music recorded following the departures of guitarist Charlie Griffiths and bassist Conner Green. Check out their latest single, “In a Fever Dream”, and don’t miss the band’s upcoming Warsaw performance!
The UK's Ihlo made their debut in 2019 and, in just five years, have established themselves as one of the most distinctive acts on the British progressive music scene. Their 2025 album “Legacy” proves they are unafraid to embrace a modern metal sound, built around groove, explosive riffs, and deeply moving melodies. Add electronics and stunning production into the mix, and the result is a sound that comes together on stage like a cathartic experience.
