Haken is now streaming their new single "Nightingale," their first with original keyboardist Pete Jones. Jones originally departed the band in 2008 and rejoined the band earlier this year.
"'Nightingale' was the first track Pete Jones presented to the band after rejoining Haken this year. The initial song idea quickly inspired of the classic Haken sound and naturally evolved into some new harmonic territory. The song ranges from delicate moments to monstrous riffs.
"We enlisted Jens Bogren to mix 'Nightingale' and, as always, he's blown us away by capturing every detail while delivering power and energy. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. Lyrically, the song reflects on the creative process itself; with a message that although it may be difficult of late, we must remember to be thankful for the positives in life; be they big or small."
