English progressive metal/rock group Haken have announced the departure of both guitar player Charlie Griffiths and bassist Conner Green. A statement from the band can be found below.
Griffiths joined Haken shortly after their inception in 2008, appearing on all seven of their studio albums, while Green had been a member since 2014.
“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the departure of Charlie Griffiths and Conner Green from Haken. We are tremendously grateful for the time we’ve spent together, creating music and touring the world, achieving things we thought weren’t possible. Both Charlie and Conner are irreplaceable, as musicians and individuals, and they have given so much to make this band what it is today. We cannot thank them enough, but we wish them all the best with any future endeavours. They will always be a part of the Haken family.
“New music coming this year.”
