Haken Premiere New Single & Music Video "delirium" From Upcoming New EP "in a fever dream"

British progressive metal band Haken have announced a new EP titled ‘in a fever dream’, scheduled for digital release on July 17th, with CD and vinyl editions to follow on September 18th. The band underwent lineup changes earlier this year, and this release features bass contributions from Bryan Beller (Joe Satriani, Dethklok) and Adam “Nolly” Getgood (Periphery), as heard on recent singles. Haken also served as co-producers on the EP alongside George Lever (Loathe, Sleep Token).

Alongside the announcement, the band have debuted another track from the EP, “delirium,” with a music video directed by Oliver Kember.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the release, the band collectively offered:

“This EP was born from a period of reflection and rediscovery. 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.”
