Haken have released a lyric video for their track The Endless Knot.
It features on the band’s fourth studio album Affinity, which is out on April 29 via InsideOut. It’s the follow-up to 2013 album The Mountain and their first new music since 2014 EP Restoration.
The band say of the track: “The Endless Knot explores ideas of human survival instinct and the power of unity in the face of extinction. Musically, you could say this is new territory for us as we’ve taken sounds from dance and electronica music and blended them with our own brand of rock/metal.
“The end result hopefully gives the song a nice and upbeat, energetic feel. The visuals loosely follow the life-cycle of a star and Miles Skarin at Crystal Spotlight did an awesome job with the animation on this one.”
Haken will head out on the road next month for a run of shows in support of Affinity, including an appearance at the TeamRock-sponsored Stone Free Festival on June 19.
