Released digitally this July, Haken‘s In A Fever Dream EP sees its physical presence made reality on CD and vinyl come the 18th September through InsideOutMusic.
The progressive, alternative metal band also have a making-of documentary out. It was filmed and edited by Oliver Kember, who’s also responsible for the official video to ‘Delirium’, Haken‘s latest single.
Co-produced and mixed by George Lever (Loathe, Sleep Token), and featuring bass contributions from Bryan Beller (Joe Satriani, The Aristocrats) and Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood (Periphery), the EP apparently finds the band crafting some of the most emotionally direct material of their career so far.
“This EP was born from a period of reflection and rediscovery,” announced the band. “Over the last few years, we’ve faced challenges that forced us to look inward, both as musicians and as people, and the songs on this record are the result of that journey.
“We allowed ourselves to be completely honest in the writing process, digging into real experiences, doubts, and emotions rather than hiding behind them. That vulnerability gave these songs a weight and purpose unlike anything we’ve created before.
“Musically, we pushed ourselves into new territory, embracing fresh influences while holding onto the intensity and identity that define this band. Working with producer George Lever helped us sharpen that vision, and Vada Studios provided the perfect environment to collaborate and bring it to life. This EP captures a moment in time of us finding our feet again, moving forward, taking risks, and creating from a place that feels as genuine as we have ever been.”
