London-based progressive metallers Haken are set to begin their UK & Ireland tour with Leprous & Maschine this week, before their new EP 'Restoration' is released (on October 27th in Europe, November 10th in the US). To celebrate they have launched a stream of the longest track on the album 'Crystallised', as well as a competition to win a signed copy of the vinyl EP, a t-shirt & a poster.

The band also recently launched a brand new video for the track 'Darkest Light' taken from that EP, and you can view that here:
The track list and playing times are as follows:
1. Darkest Light (6:44)
2. Earthlings (7:52)
3. Crystallised (19:23)
The final track is a no holds barred epic including guest 'cameo' appearances by Pete Rinaldi (Headspace) and Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic / Flying Colors).
The vinyl with CD is now available to pre-order:
The band is also about to embark on a run of UK & Irish dates with label-mates Leprous & Maschine. This will be the band's biggest run of dates in their own country yet and they can be found below:
