Haken have become prog metal darlings and while up to a point, their work ethic is undeniable, as are their abilities, they might or might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Some people put on tirades about how derivative of DT they might be on occasion, while others praise them to no end as if they are the best thing since sliced bread.
 

Course Of Fate - Mindweaver

Course Of Fate is a newcomer that comes from Norway and was originally founded in 2015, even though an unofficial version of the band existed years before. This sextet seems to be influenced by various prog metal bands, such as Queensrÿche, Evegrey, Fates Warning, Dream Theater and Circus Maximus among others. I do not usually refer to a band’s influences, but in this occasion I wanted to give you an idea of what to expect.
