Haken’s Ross Jennings and Peter Jones on The MetalSucks Podcast #524

Ross Jennings and Peter Jones of Haken join the podcast! We are here to discuss their upcoming North American tour starting February 10, the anticipation of playing the latest album Fauna will be played in its entirety, Peter Jones releasing a keyboard guide of his work on the album, playing Japan for the first time in the band’s history after the North American tour, the positive experience when albums make year end lists, saving a cat’s life last time they toured America, the team building the band does when on tour in America, the desire to start writing new material, and the open discussion of how singles being released instead of full lengths can have a positive impact.

Petar and Sylvia discuss the passing of legendary MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer, Ihsahn’s comments on creating a new Emperor album and how difficult it is for a band to capture the essence of their youth, Marilyn Manson paying the price of a new home in legal fees to Evan Rachel Wood, and we share a story of co-host Brandon jumping out of a plane with the late Jesse Jane.
