Haken have given fans another look at their forthcoming live release Liveforms: An Evening With Haken with the live video of “Puzzle Box.”
Haken said this about the song, which can be seen here:
"'Puzzle Box' has for a long time been a live favourite of ours due to its balance of relentless heaviness versus its ethereal, experimental and electronic leanings . Since our plans to perform the Vector & Virus albums in full were scrapped in 2020, it was important to us when putting together the 'Evening with' Setlist that those records should be well represented. From where we stand, those songs have always translated so well live therefore it was a joy to kick off the 2nd half of our show with Puzzle Box each night!"
Liveforms: An Evening With Haken will be released on May 9 via Insideout Music. The live performance was filmed during Haken’s headlining show at London’s O2 Forum last September. Pre-orders for the 3CD+Blu-ray release can be made here. This will be Haken’s second live release following 2018’s L-1VE. The band said this about the forthcoming release:
"The Evening With Haken tour across North America and Europe was without a doubt one of our favourite tours we've done, showcasing 3 hours of music from our entire discography, including our latest record 'Fauna' performed in full which was an absolute blast! Conducting an 'evening with' format is something that we've seen tried and tested by some of our favourite artists, and it felt like an important band bucket list item to tick off at this stage in our career, to celebrate all we've achieved in the last 15 years. When discussions arose as to which show we might document on film, it was a no-brainer for us that our homecoming show in London, at the legendary 02 Kentish Town Forum, should be the one. And the home crowd did not disappoint, on what turned out to be such an electric atmosphere, we just so happened to capture one of our best performances from the entire tour for our fans to relive again and again."
