They are fucking badass. I love how they use the Gentle Giant elements ( counterpoint stuff) . One of the best prog metal bands in the world , cool vocals.

[@GHOSTPLANEtable]

Kudos for your reference- first prog band ever heard, got me off of the Korn/slipknot phase (not bad artists) just stuff for edging since rly doesn’t get me off aurally like these Demi gods- I actually get zeppelin vibes by their approach and the way the disparate parts make a paredolia of sound but the. They can switch back to dense poly stuff and best of all the vocals are very very well done- the complexity/harmony really shows you how inspired they are- beautiful.

For all the people commenting on the crowd, I'm not going to outright defend them, but do try to keep in mind this is a soundboard feed, with almost certainly no audience mics. Meaning you're not going to hear much, if any audience noise even if it was present that night.

[@shrunkendesigner]

Also this was a support slot for another band, so most people aren't there for Haken. It was for Devin Townsend.

[@sigitrendang5195]

Its crazy the light guy has to learn all the songs to match the lights

[@ericswearingenmusic9967]

It’s probably mostly automated and runs from their DAW session they use for their click track and samples. So the perfect syncing occurs because everyone is playing to the exact same metronome that the lights and midi patches are programmed to. That’s usually how it’s done, these days. Very involved process by a light artist

Well, the vocals are weak :-) I wonder if Ross got some vocal coaching. If not, he should consider it.

[@LootFragg]

@@talaniel I hear you, friend. And posture and tension would do his vocals good, I agree. But also, guy is performing quite a bit. He's no Freddie Mercury, but I know how winded I get when I walk while singing. There are times when I sound a LOT worse, have to catch my breath and my voice fails me. So it feels a little like most of the coaching would be to stand still, lol.

Can someone tell me, why the sound is like that? I saw them live a couple of times, and they had some problems with their sound in most enviroments - but assuming they could master it afterwards, means they want this kind of sound? can someone please enlighten me? i think it sounds like through a supressor

[@RobertBryk]

Because everything is dry with no reverb or effects and the mixing sucks

[@talaniel]

Nah, it is not that bad, the only problem are vocal lines, unfortunately.

[@andrewdavies3091]

The sound is from the front of house mixing board, so it's very dry and with little room atmosphere or reverb in the mix. Makes it sound a lot drier and deader than the studio recording, or if they had recorded with room mics added into the mix, which is what they normally do for live recordings. I also don't especially like the overall mix, but it could have been that the audio files they got from whoever was recording didn't allow them full control of the mix.
