Haken Unveils Music Video for “Delirium” Ahead of EP Pre-Order
The progressive rock band Haken has released the official music video for “Delirium,” the lead single from their upcoming EP In a Fever Dream, which is now available for pre-order. The video, directed by Haken’s official YouTube channel, marks the first visual accompanying the band’s latest project, set for release on April 12, 2025.
What Is “In a Fever Dream”?
In a Fever Dream is Haken’s first EP since 2022’s Vector, featuring five tracks that blend the band’s signature complex rhythms with melodic hooks. According to a statement from the band’s management, the EP explores themes of “existential uncertainty and the search for clarity in a chaotic world.” The project includes collaborations with producer James Henderson, known for his work with bands like Porcupine Tree.
How to Pre-Order the EP
Fans can pre-order In a Fever Dream through Haken’s official website, with exclusive merchandise bundles available. The EP will be released physically and digitally via InSOUND, the band’s long-time distribution partner. Early buyers will receive a digital download of “Delirium” immediately upon pre-ordering.
Why the Music Video Matters
The “Delirium” video, which premiered on February 15, 2025, features surreal visuals and abstract animations that mirror the song’s intricate guitar work and layered vocals. Music journalist Sarah Lin of Pitchfork described the video as “a visual representation of the track’s labyrinthine structure, perfectly encapsulating Haken’s artistic evolution.” The release follows a trend of progressive bands leveraging music videos to reach new audiences, a strategy that Billboard noted has helped the genre gain traction in mainstream platforms.
What’s Next for Haken?
Following the EP’s release, Haken will embark on a European tour starting in May 2025, with dates scheduled in Germany, France, and the UK. The band’s lead guitarist, Phil Rambow, hinted at “exploring new sonic territories” in future projects, though no formal announcements have been made.
