I’m not sure tho
We have this competition in our school once a year where we write, draw and photograph something based on the theme they give us. This year's theme was peace and war. I originally wrote in a different language and now I translated in English with chat gpt so not everything is as I originally intended it in this version. We also had a 3 page limit so I couldn't really flesh out the characters and the story as I wanted. Still I'd sincerely appreciate some feedback before I send it.

It's not even well designed. What's the point in these?
Nightingale was released a year before fauna, and they release an album one every 2-3 years usually, so i reckon we will get a single in around june-august of next year, and an album september-october 2026, going off the last album release
When this album first came out, I could hear the lyrics fine, but for the past year I could barely make out the chorus of Sempiternal Beings and the lyrics are overpowered by the guitar. And yes, sing mode is not on. I wish I could record the difference between my apple music and youtube. Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm not super familiar with the band's discography, but Crystallised is the most moving thing I've heard in a long time, I don't really cry to music but I'll be damned if this one doesn't do its best to get me there, anything else similarly moving/nostalgic?
For me I think it has to be Visions, loads of odd choices all over that album that pay off really well.
(Just uploaded this vid on the wrong account lmao)
Learned by ear, definitley playing in the wrong tuning and probably mixing harmonies, ergo finger placement is definitely off and whatnot, but this riff is so so sick, I wanted to be able to play at least a poor facsimile of it haha

I actually do not like Invasion that much, I am surprised
A lot of people have shared their top 5 being only Haken songs, so I’m doing the opposite. None Haken song on my top 5, yet their my top artist
I recently discovered TEMIC and absolutely fricking loved them. Some of the same creativity, energy and sheer musical joy-inspiring awesomeness of Haken. In looking for other work by the members, I found... their composer and keyboardist is Diego Tejeida of Haken, from Aquarius to Virus.
For me, I greatly enjoyed Fauna, but it didn't have the same 'cohesive' feeling either within tracks or across the album that previous albums have had - and I'm now wondering if it's the lost influence of Diego?
Either way, I'm sure I'll absolutely love whatever Haken make, but look forward even more to a second album from TEMIC...
I just want to see everyone's wrapped, but I am not sure what everyone thinks/feels about wrapped, but anyway. I'll go first!
Because I need that of Sempiternal Beings. Just loop that last section starting at 7:06 ten or twelve times, please, make it happen, Haken!
Whether it's just Haken's commitment to only having gold on every single track of theres or some other factor, the "Whoa-oh's" with the accompanied solo is absolutely blissful.
