Major shockwaves in the progressive metal community this morning as prog heavyweights Haken have officially announced the departures of founding member, guitarist Charlie Griffiths, as well as bassist Conner Green. The band released this statement on social media.
“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the departure of Charlie Griffiths and Conner Green from Haken. We are tremendously grateful for the time we’ve spent together, creating music and touring the world, achieving things we thought weren’t possible. Both Charlie and Conner are irreplacable, as musicians and individuals, and they have given so much to make this band what it is today. We cannot thank them enough, but we wish them all the best with any future endeavours. They will always be a part of the Haken family.
New music coming this year.”
The band’s last studio album was ‘Fauna’ in 2023. Seems there will be new music this year. No word on any new additions to the lineup.
