Haken At Théâtre Corona

I'm a little at a loss for words as I try and write a little bit about this update, the second of three bands that took the stage at the Théâtre Corona in Montreal this past Saturday night.  While I know my fair share of Progressive Metal bands, I had never heard of Haken.  However, they went out of their way to make sure that after Saturday night, they I won't forget them.  Formed in England back in 2007, they've been rocking the world ever since, despite my ignorance to their existence.  They have six albums under their belts, including their most recent, Virus, which was released in 2020.  I have the feeling that I'm going to have to try and hunt some of those down to add them to my collection, despite My Lovely Assistant (and my Mom), thinking that the collection is large enough as it is.  Sorry ladies, when you encounter something this good, space must be made.  The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/500sec, ISO 1600 at 24mm.  Here are several more photographs of their performance.

If you'd like to find out more about Haken and their music, you should to like I did and follow the link to their website.  If you'd like to see the other photographs that I took of Trope and Symphony X, who were also performing, you can do so by following the links.  It's always fun to make a new discovery.  Hopefully they're return soon so I can discover them again.
