London-based progressive metallers Haken are set to begin their UK & Ireland tour with Leprous & Maschine this week, before their new EP 'Restoration' is released (on October 27th in Europe, November 10th in the US). To celebrate they have launched a stream of the longest track on the album 'Crystallised', as well as a competition to win a signed copy of the vinyl EP, a t-shirt & a poster.

The band also recently launched a brand new video for the track 'Darkest Light' taken from that EP, and you can view that here: http://youtu.be/QHlHs17dQY8

The track list and playing times are as follows:

1. Darkest Light (6:44)
2. Earthlings (7:52)
3. Crystallised (19:23)

​

The final track is a no holds barred epic including guest 'cameo' appearances by Pete Rinaldi (Headspace) and Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic / Flying Colors).

The vinyl with CD is now available to pre-order: http://smarturl.it/HakenLPINO
