The Haken members sit down to write a new song. The lead singer: “What time signature should we write this in?” The drummer, philosophically: “What is time?”
this song already have crazy time signatures but have you ever heard of Dance Of Eternity? that's my favorite song and it have 200 time signature changes
The guitar player: "there is no time, it is just an instant illusion" The bass player: "we are time" The singer: "if time doesn't exist, what it should be if not music?" The producer: "Obviously they shall be switched. But on time for the album exit"
First song Cockroach King. Then Celestial Elixir which sucked me in. Then went full Aquarius. Shit, this video is so good. The puppets are so proper. The Queen hommage got me laughing. And the drummer at 4:42 is perfect.
They should really be proud of this prog master piece. A real "torch carrying" for the prog genre it self. The (prog) Gods are sure jealous (again) of their own creation.
That’s the facts Jack. 😁 Never heard of them until I experienced them open for Symphony X last Friday… Blown away. Been listening to them every day since. Nil By Mouth was just amazing. 😵💫
@Best Of Assamese Don't need to. Cz only intellectual people can judge this song.80% of the world population are just simpletons. They can only consume cheesy Despacito type songs.
Being the ultimate Dream Theater fan, I expected their self-titled release to be the definite prog album of the year... I was so wrong. Thanks Haken, along with Between the Buried and Me you restored my faith in the future of prog music!
Which album did btbam put out 9 years ago? Anyway, colours ii and fauna are still top tier prog while a view from atop of the world is just 8/10 for me
@@domidominik7071Havent really listened to BtBaM but yeah Fauna is definitely prog AOTY for me. I will say though that The Alien and Awaken the Master are some of Dream Theaters all time best songs imo, even if the album as a whole isn't completely outstanding.
I had just begun dating a nice redhead who was 'into music'. I, a classically trained cellist, intrigued, asked him to send me links to three 'funny songs'. He wasn't sure what I meant by funny, but this was one of the three. I married t.f. outta him, the end.
I Just discovered Haken by accident with that song on Spotify, I have so say and be very honest here : This song is a MASTERPIECE!!! It is truly the BEST song I have ever lisen in my entire life. I've come across jewels of musicians and awesome songs but this one is indubitably the best of the best. I think i'm gonna have a blast diving deep into this band. :)
Have a good trip with them! Haken is a truly unique band, and I've listened to many progressive metal bands in my entire life. I've also see them live in 2023 with Between the Buried and Me and Cryptodira, amazing concert :)
If you like it, please have a stop on gentle giant. This song is clearly a tribute to them. I personally advice "The Power and the Glory" album to begin with.
Just found out about the band... Damn! I want this band to get HUGE! Amazing everything (even the vocals are great for a change considering the prog/metal scene). Everybody singing, two keyboards... just perfect.
They dont need to be HUGE its just important that enough people buy their CDs so that they can Live from their music. You know pay the rent and buy Food There are prog Bands out there that are very very unknown just like Haken but they are really Good like Dalis Dilemma, Andromeda, Freak Kitchen, Seventh Wonder, Pagans Mind, Pain of Salvation ( check their CD Remedy Lane )
@@rjonboy7608 It was epic. Haken actually blew SX off the stage. Second time I've seen them now (first was March 2020 with Devin Townsend), been amazing both times.
This is incredible. Awesome. Superior high quality. Massively cool. Ultra mega great. I'm not just impressed, I'm totally blown away. Stunning and funny. I'm in love forever.
damn this is truly one of my favourite songs just because of its beautiful absurdity and just the pure talent it uses to pull of every single strange, unique and interesting section of the song off flawlessly, and honestly this music video is just something else. I always had the story play out in my head, but now after seeing this music video this is definitely whats going to play through my head when i'm listening to the song. and I'm in no way displeased.
Haken, I've shown this song to almost every musically inclined friend I have and the reception is really good. Even though it's such an out there song, the strong vibes of queen and Floyd and the great rhythm in the opening is so enjoyable.
Tantalized by the cockroach and it's promise I fantasised about soaring with golden wings "Flying with gold wings" Hypnotized by the cockroach and it's promise I was compromised by a treasure That was fit for fools "Lured by a fool's gold" Blinded by a fickle fortune Diamonds in my eyes Blinded by the grand illusion Golden wings to fly The hunter draws closer to it's prey Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage I yearned to be a apostle Of the selfmade man Hopelessly I bathed in my ignorance Desperately toking on the roach of irony My fickle fortune beckoned A treasure fit for fools The hunter draws closer to it's prey I blindly wandered down the golden path In pursuit of a misbegotten dream The great gatsby whispered in my ears The road from rags to riches leads nowhere The grand illusion beckoned With promises of deceit The Cockroach King sits on his throne With the midas touch and a heart of stone An empire build on guile and greed A bleeding ground for those who heed The grand illusion faded The hunter snares it's prey I fear and loathe the cockroach The mirage melts away The Cockroach King sits on his throne With the midas touch and a heart of stone An empire build on guile and greed A bleeding ground for those who heed Lured by a treasure that was fit for fools "Searching for the truth" Lost in this labyrinth in search of the truth "With your promises of deceit" Trapped in your kingdom build on greed and guile "Build on greed and guile" Only to find the insects have multiplied The Cockroach King of guile and greed With a broken crown he's left to bleed An empire falling to it's knees A bleeding ground for those who heed I longed to be a disciple of the cockroach I was hopelessly choking On the roach of fallacy "The roach of irony" Thankfully when the mirage finally melted The impurity of the cockroach was revealed to me "The roach of irony" Blinded by the grand illusion Blackened wings to fly Burning ashes of the hunter Scattered in the sky
Things I have learned from this band: 1. Facial expressions I didn’t know I had 2. You can never be to stoned And 3. I’m pretty sure this re opened my window for becoming schizophrenic
This video is the greatest tribute to Queen EVER! This is a great version of the multi vocal lines and postures of Bohemian Rhapsody! Watch the Bohemian Rhapsody video and then this and you will see. Haken made a perfect job paying honors to Queen, with a great song and an AWESOME video! Just unbelievable!
The vocals are much more of a Gentle Giant influence, if anything. Although there's an obvious commercial interest in implying a Queen influence which is actually in the video not the music. Great video, regardless.
The beginning of Ectobius Rex is also totally the beginning of Shapeshifter.. I hear nobody talk about this but does it have a connection to that song aswell?
I know Haken since some years now. And there are so many prog bands I love, may it be Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Rush, Tool, Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, IQ, Marillion, Porcupine Tree or all the other not so popular but great prog bands. But Haken have a special place in my heart, which just belongs to them and although I like all the other bands pretty much - returning "back" to Haken feels like coming home every time.

I love that the playing of the instruments is accurate to each moment of the song. A lot of music videos just take clips of the band members playing and throw them around randomly, and the sound doesn't sync well
MouseCaneta Yep, but it is SO great to have a band with incredibly well written vocals. Hell, I could even analyze some of their stuff for music theory lol. Sorry for my english,.
i just found it awesome that you're so well spoken and adept with grammar, second language or not. it's a glaring contrast to most comment on youtube.. mine included.
Probably the best music video ever! This is my favourite music video of all time love this song but wish u didn’t leave some parts of the song like the Jazz section.
Haken should totally tour with Everything Everything. Two insanely talented relatively new british bands. Everything Everything may make more accessible music yet I think Haken fans would find a lot to like about them and the other way round as well.
@@sebastianarmas897 cus it makes the song flow really well. If it went straight to the solo after that chorus I feel Like it Would sound pretty strange but thats just imo
I saw them live in Helsinki. They did the singing just as perfect as on this video, playing was better. (I don't even think it was planned, there just was a guy in a cockroach costume in the audience and they thought it was just as awesome as I did)
That's it, my wonderful people! Concratulations to 1MILLION views! Hope to see you here again, when we are at 10. What an amazing song, Haken! Keep up the good stuff.
Haken: So what's your idea for the video?
Diretor: Bohemian Rhapsody but Muppets
Haken: ...Deal!
The Muppets actually did a version of Bohemian Rhapsody, you should check it out!

First song Cockroach King. Then Celestial Elixir which sucked me in. Then went full Aquarius.

Enjoy, All their albums are different and great in their own ways, make sure you don't miss their Restoration EP, it is fantastic.
Me too man, same situation : )
Amazing! I'm jealous
They should really be proud of this prog master piece. A real "torch carrying" for the prog genre it self. The (prog) Gods are sure jealous (again) of their own creation.
Lee, you're in for a treat. HAKEN is the best in the business IMO. Enjoy the discovery.
The more you listen to these songs the better they get
That’s the facts Jack. 😁
Never heard of them until I experienced them open for Symphony X last Friday…
Blown away. Been listening to them every day since. Nil By Mouth was just amazing. 😵💫
The fact that this is both hilarious and non ironically good is amazing
This video deserves at least 10 million views.
Doing my part. 👍
Agree. But there is a level beyond this. It is minimum entropy. We will never hit it now. But it should have been the original goal.

Being the ultimate Dream Theater fan, I expected their self-titled release to be the definite prog album of the year... I was so wrong. Thanks Haken, along with Between the Buried and Me you restored my faith in the future of prog music!

Definitely Gentle Giant!!! much of their influence in The Mountain and Restoration
My 12 month old niece loves this song and gets very excited and starts dancing. Maybe the youngest fan so far
Holy crap, what a great song. Been hearing about Haken these past few weeks and it appears that I've been missing out.
Tantalized by the cockroach and it's promise
I fantasised about soaring with golden wings
"Flying with gold wings"
Hypnotized by the cockroach and it's promise
I was compromised by a treasure
That was fit for fools
"Lured by a fool's gold"
Blinded by a fickle fortune
Diamonds in my eyes
Blinded by the grand illusion
Golden wings to fly
The hunter draws closer to it's prey
Vacantly I was gazing at the mirage
I yearned to be a apostle
Of the selfmade man
Hopelessly I bathed in my ignorance
Desperately toking on the roach of irony
My fickle fortune beckoned
A treasure fit for fools
The hunter draws closer to it's prey
I blindly wandered down the golden path
In pursuit of a misbegotten dream
The great gatsby whispered in my ears
The road from rags to riches leads nowhere
The grand illusion beckoned
With promises of deceit
The Cockroach King sits on his throne
With the midas touch and a heart of stone
An empire build on guile and greed
A bleeding ground for those who heed
The grand illusion faded
The hunter snares it's prey
I fear and loathe the cockroach
The mirage melts away
The Cockroach King sits on his throne
With the midas touch and a heart of stone
An empire build on guile and greed
A bleeding ground for those who heed
Lured by a treasure that was fit for fools
"Searching for the truth"
Lost in this labyrinth in search of the truth
"With your promises of deceit"
Trapped in your kingdom build on greed and guile
"Build on greed and guile"
Only to find the insects have multiplied
The Cockroach King of guile and greed
With a broken crown he's left to bleed
An empire falling to it's knees
A bleeding ground for those who heed
I longed to be a disciple of the cockroach
I was hopelessly choking
On the roach of fallacy
"The roach of irony"
Thankfully when the mirage finally melted
The impurity of the cockroach was revealed to me
"The roach of irony"
Blinded by the grand illusion
Blackened wings to fly
Burning ashes of the hunter
Scattered in the sky
Traj what does he even mean by the cockroach

+R0DisG0D I saw Everything Everything when they came to Johannesburg just over 2 years ago and they were amazing! Great band.

And now imagine a co-headline tour of the 2 best current bands (at least in my opinion). I'd probably faint from the excitement.
R0DisG0D this comment got me into ee
Il check em out! thanks
I love this special song. This is very good and great prog rock.
Why, oh why did you cut out the jazzy part
+tagumagu For the single. Not that anyone buys singles, but radio stations play singles.
Miss Ann Thrope And yet they leave in that really weird part that begins at 2:42
Thank you, I was waiting for someone else to pick up on this...
@@sebastianarmas897 cus it makes the song flow really well. If it went straight to the solo after that chorus I feel Like it Would sound pretty strange but thats just imo
So that normies can handle it
Keep coming here every single day...
I saw them live in Helsinki. They did the singing just as perfect as on this video, playing was better.
(I don't even think it was planned, there just was a guy in a cockroach costume in the audience and they thought it was just as awesome as I did)
That's it, my wonderful people! Concratulations to 1MILLION views! Hope to see you here again, when we are at 10. What an amazing song, Haken! Keep up the good stuff.
