Here's Diego Tejeida - d'Tej with a live playthrough of Nil By Mouth taken from our show in Zoetermeer, NL on 15th March: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyPQCRcrpUM

⚠️HOT STUFF⚠️ Today, @rayhaken took a trip to @hot_sauce_society London’s first hot sauce festival and look what he found! An incredibly hot sauce called ‘Nil By Mouth’ made by @daddycoolspeppersauce. He also sampled some of his favourite @satansgravy made by Karyo who, if we’re lucky, may even create a special batch of Haken Hot Sauce one day... Who’d like to get their tastebuds wrapped around some hot saucy liquid merch?! Let us know your thoughts! #hotsauce @ London, United Kingdom

Australia and New Zealand, we'll be with you soon! See all y'all in June! This will be our first time in New Zealand and also in Adelaide. As for Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, we cannot wait to play for you guys again! Tickets and VIP: http://davidroywilliams.com/tours/hakentour/

An incredibly important message from our friends Thank You Scientist to take you through to the weekend. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwBiaEYjQuw

We are delighted to announce we'll be returning to Italy to play at Rock The Castle in Verona later this year! It's an honour for us to join some of rock and metal's most legendary acts on this bill including Slayer, Slash, Philip Anselmo, Gojira and Dream Theater! Hopefully see some of you there! 🤘

Europe, it's all over (in a strictly non-Brexit-related tone)! It's been 6 memorable weeks, traveling to almost every corner of this incredible continent, to play some of the biggest and best shows we've ever had the pleasure of playing and to share our music with our favourite people, you, the fans! 14 shows out of the 30 we played were sold out (!!!) which was a really pleasant surprise for us! The love and support we have been shown each and every night has not gone unnoticed and we are truly humbled and encouraged by the response to our music and to our live show. We cannot wait to tour Europe once more! A tour like this doesn't happen easily. There are a lot of people to thank... Our incredible crew: Steve our TM, Adam our sound guy, Travis our light guy, Thomas our [coffee] tech, Bill our merch guy, amazing people and a tirelessly hardworking crew! Bent Knee, VOLA and Ben Levin group once again for being the best support bands we could have asked for! crossland.ie for another great bus and drivers! Yerry at K2 agency and all the promoters and local reps for your work in putting on the shows, especially Tal from Tel Aviv ❤️, our webmaster Jeroen and Mark our artist for going above and beyond every time, the outstanding companies whose products we proudly endorse and whose support we couldn't do this without: Strandberg Guitars, Kiesel Guitars Carvin Guitars, Jim Dunlop Guitar Products, Fractal Audio, ARTURIA, CME Pro, ROLI, Roland, Dingwall Guitars, Darkglass Electronics, Natal Drums, Samsun Cymbals, Angel Drums, Cympad International, Gibraltar Hardware to name a few...! We've almost certainly missed out some people 🙁 It goes without saying that a tour like this wouldn't even happen without you the fans! Thank you all once again for making this such a special run of shows for us. We are #BetterTogether (again, with no reference to Brexit here...) Here's a selection of highlights from the tour that will hopefully give you a sense of the day-to-day goings on we experienced. Thanks to Steve Inman for the shots! #vectour

Quite possibly the best end to a tour we could have hoped for! Thank you so much Tel Aviv. Right, it’s time to go home!!! 🚀

Istanbul, thank you. What a night! We will surely return! We’ve just arrived in Tel Aviv for the very last show of this European Vector Studies Tour and it promises to be a crazy night. Who’s coming down?? 📷: @septenium

Brilliant news! Thanks Istanbul. See you tonight! #vectour

Here's a whole album full of great shots from last night's show in Bucharest, Romania! Wow, what a night! Thank you so much to everyone who made it to see us play. We've just arrived in Istanbul, Turkey for our first EVER show in this incredible country. Who's coming to Friday's show? There are only a handful of tickets left so get 'em quick: www.hakenmusic.com/tour Photo credit: Mihai Anghel

Now it's Romania's turn! See you at Quantic Club tonight, Bucharest. Still some tickets left so come on down and join us for our first ever show in this amazing city! #vectour

We cannot even begin to express how excited we are to join the one, the only Devin Townsend on his 'Empath Europe - Volume 1' tour (*excluding Finland) later this year. It will be an honour and a privilege to share the stage with one of our musical heroes night after night for a whole month! 🎉🤩🙌🐋🦖🐢🍾 Full dates + ticket links: https://www.hevydevy.com/tourdates/ ---- DEVIN TOWNSEND 'Empath', out on 29th March 2019.

We’re about to go live on @rockfmromania to talk about a whole bunch of stuff including Wednesday’s upcoming show at Quantic - our first ever show in Bucharest! Who’s coming??? Tickets: www.hakenmusic.com/tour

Today, we're in Eindhoven for Prognosis Festival! It promises to be an awesome event with a whole load of cool stuff going on including a guitar clinic led by our very own Richard Henshall and Charlie Griffiths and a keyboard clinic from Diego Tejeida - d'Tej. Both clinics kick off at 1:45pm. Word has it that Baard Kolstad (Official) from Leprous is also hosting a drum clinic and we'll get to catch up with the whole band later today too as they're on stage just before us! Who's excited??!! We certainly are!

What an incredible last few days we've had! Paris and Zoetermeer were two of the most memorable shows we've ever played and, to top it all off, we had the fortune of playing to a full house at the Islington Assembly Hall. The last few weeks have been some of the most fun and memorable times we've ever had on tour and it wouldn't have been the same without our support acts Bent Knee, VOLA and of course Ben Levin Group! For now, we bid them all farewell as we continue the last leg of this tour later this week! Who's coming to one of our final European Vector Studies shows??!! 22nd March - Eindhoven @ Prognosis Festival 23rd March - Helsinki @ Tavastia 27th March - Bucharest @ Club Quantic 29th March - Istanbul @ Zorlu PSM 30th March - Tel Aviv @ Barby Club Tickets and VIP: www.hakenmusic.com/tour #vectour
