Haakon’s Fault


 

Haakon’s Fault released their debut EP in 2009 - “Pilgrimage”, the product of two years of writing, fine-tuning, recording, and mixing.  Hailed as, “far and away superior to the material being generated currently in neo-prog, mathcore and other loosely related genres,” the release of this EP marks a new era for the band’s continuously evolving sound, displaying both their depth and musical range: The album’s piano-driven title track, “Pilgrimage”, is a rock epic; “Stargazing” is a psychedelic pop song with force; “Siren” is prog-metal, featuring a thumping beat and heavy guitar distortions; “Eulogic” is a straight-ahead rocker, contrasting soft verses with a heavy chorus; “Glory” is a triumphant hybrid of rock, pop, and metal.  According to Wildy’s World, “as musical introductions go its hard to beat “Pilgrimage.”

Haakon’s Fault has been packing venues throughout New York City for almost four years, frequently playing at venues such as The Knitting Factory, Sullivan Hall, and Piano’s.  In June of 2008, Haakon’s Fault’s managers, Noah and Gideon Plotnicki, brought them to CitizenMusic, an independent New York City-based management group.  In the spring of 2008, Haakon’s Fault played at the Columbia University Tablet Art Fair, and in May 2009, they were also the winners of the inaugural Upper East Side Music Festival/Battle of the Bands.  In September 2009, Haakon’s Fault played in M.E.A.N.Y Fest 2009, a festival featuring some of NYC’s best emerging artists.  In October 2009, Haakon’s Fault participated in the 2009 CMJ Music Marathon with shows at Sullivan Hall and Rockwood Music Hall.  2010 finds the band returning to some of their favorite NYC venues, as well as a range of dates in festivals, bars, clubs, and at colleges throughout the Northeast and Atlantic  regions
