Die Progessive Band HAKEN hat vor kurzem ihr siebtes Studioalbum “Fauna“ für den 03 März angekündigt. Heute veröffentlicht die Band die neueste Auskopplung `Taurus` als Video
Ross Jennings:
“With such a diverse and eclectic array of material on ‘Fauna’, it was important for us to include a piece of music that represented the metallic edge of our sound which was exploited predominantly on ‘Vector’ & ‘Virus’, with our focus being on hard hitting riffs in odd time signatures.
The song’s lyrics were written roughly at the same time we all started hearing about the devastation and crisis happening in Ukraine. I was already writing the piece based on the annual migration of the wildebeests with strong references to people travelling in herds and strength in numbers. Suddenly I realised I had an anchor for what the song could be about and knowing this gives it all the more emotional weight; We’re all on some sort of journey towards salvation or enlightenment. Sometimes out of choice or not, we need to leave the past behind us and make new beginnings. We only have each other, and belief and hope are our strongest allies.”

Lyrics:
We’ll be a million faces
A generation lost
A path of self destruction
The Taurus runs amok
Trading greener pastures
For silver-tinted suns
This threat bestowed upon us
Will only strengthen us
Don’t look back
A new life’s waiting
All not saved will be lost
You’ll see a million faces
Fleeing the motherland in droves
Who knows if we will make it?
To that place we’ll someday call home
The straw won’t break the camel’s back
When our backs are up against the wall
Under the cover of your darkness
And so our plight endeavors on
Don’t look back
A new life’s waiting
All not saved will be lost
If it’s a nowhere road
We’ll find salvation
Somewhere in Avalon
On the journey with no distance
To a place that we never left
And the suffering is how we overcome
And we question everything we know
In searching for Avalon
Our ambition is how we learn to fail
Don’t look back
A new life’s waiting (Cleansing the slate or running from your past)
All not saved is lost (All not saved is lost)
Don’t slow down on this nowhere road (New life awaits when you reach Avalon)
Where we all belong
