Haken have bounced back from last fall’s departure of keyboardist/vocalist Diego Tejeida. The English progressive outfit have announced the return of Tejeida‘s predecessor, Pete Jones to their lineup. The group had the following to say of his return:
“We are truly thrilled to welcome Pete back into Haken. Pete is a phenomenally gifted musician and, in the short time since his return, he has breathed new life into the band, inspiring us to explore fresh and exciting musical territory. This is a new era for Haken and we cannot wait to share it with all of you!”
Jones himself added:
“I’m thrilled to rejoin the fellowship, after following the band closely over the years and watching them grow. It was great to reconnect with Rich on the Nova Collective record, and then to work more closely with the guys over the past couple of Haken albums. I can’t wait for the next chapter, and am pumped to be a part of it!”
As previously reported, the group will be out on a North American co-headlining run with Symphony X this spring with Trope opening.
