In case anyone is wondering how this puzzle box is solved: You slide it diagonally. It might contain a pin that prevents sliding if not held in the correct orientation, but if you have the correct orientation, you can just slide the pieces right apart
They would have figured that out. It's to obvious. I think you need to give it a good swing in one direction and then the pins changes position and you can slide it out diagnolly.
@@YellowSpaceMarine there are puzzles like that, except you have to give it a spin on one axis, that way the pins are set and the whole thing can fall apart when picked up
5:51 through the rest of the song.... maybe my favorite piece of music that I've ever listened to. Immensely both hard and melodic. perfect.
And has the feels
Yes!!
This song is completely insane, but its amazing. The way it moves between segments so seamlessly, blending elements of prog, metal, electronica and experimental music all while maintaining a constant claustrophobic atmosphere and surprisingly catchy chorus, no words for it really.
There is a word: Haken
Genius 🤔
i can't help but bawl out crying at the outro, the song builds up so much tension and just implodes at 6:21
its like it reaches into your soul and reaps you into tiny pieces of emotions
Both a Haken listener and a Kronii enjoyer. This is the first time I’ve seen this two communities overlap and I’m all for it. Cheers 🍷🗿
@@andreteles4294 fuck yeah caralho
I think they don't even know what they are doing to fans, this music they create makes people truly Happy. Thats So magical
True though, I have cried to celestial elixir multiple times
Idk why that song though
@@masongonzalez847 That chorus!!!
It goes beyond happy……it moves my soul 😱
Haken composing and Nolly on the production should be the 8th wonder of this world... This is beyond words
Indeed! This is the mix they deserve!
If he's not still stuck with solving the puzzle-brick^^
I find the production the most disappointing part of this.
@@Golem29 please do tell us why!
The best progressive metal band!
Hell yeah!
CZcamss algorithm played this after me watching Leprous and thinking what a unique, distinguished, genre breaking, heavy band they are.
Perfect
They seem to have taken the title quite literally
They didn’t even solve the puzzle box, man.
Not sure if people have noticed, but check out the map at 1:58 in the video. There's a "Midas Wing". Lyrics to the song "Cockroach King" do mention that the Cockroach King has a Midas touch.
Another cool thing is that the map at 1:55 in the video clearly shows "Block 2". If you check out the lyrics of Good Doctor, the very first line is "Calling Dr. Rex to Cell block 2". Well, this seems to be the same block 2 shown in this video!
Exactly at 2:19, there's a page which reads the exact lyrics of the song "The Good Doctor". The lyrics written in the page are : " Make sure his arms are bound
And all his pills go down
Make all his secrets drown
Render his mind unsound"
At this point, do note that I had the slow down the speed of the video to 0.25x to read the stuff written in the pages. That said, at around 2:21, we can see that the title of the page says "Doctor : E.C Tokias-Rex". And yes, the first line of "The Good Doctor" referred to "Dr. Rex".Furthermore, it reads "Treatment : Electroshock Therapy",and the chorus to "The Good Doctor" also mentions " Electricity is the prescription he needs ". To top it all off, the third thing written in that page is "Patient : #21". Going back to lyrics of "The Good Doctor", the first verse has the lines " Twenty inmates scream in their beds But one, one is silent ". Well, this matches up perfectly as well. There are twenty other people, and the patient in question is patient number 21 as shown in the video.
At around 2:21, we can see the words "Inside his sparks fly" written on the page. And well, there's a line in "The Good Doctor" that says "Inside his mind, sparks fly".
At around 2:23, the page reads "Parasites as thick as thieves paralyzed my golden wings". There are many mentions of golden wings in the song "Cockroach King". Now at 2:24, the page reads the lyrics to "Puzzle Box", which are clearly from the perspective of the patient. Now, this page seems to be a direct continuation of the page in 2:23 that read "Parasites as thick as thieves paralyzed my golden wings" and hence are the first person words of the patient #21, who might as well be the Cockroach King seeing the reference to "my golden wings".
I'm probably overthinking, but yeah. At 2:24 another page reads "the answer Crystallised in history" (Crystallised with a capital C). At 1:56, the map has a "Crystal Wing". Guess what, there's a song by Haken named "Crystallised" as well. Not sure about the logical connection, but just putting this out there.
There are more than subtle references to the Cockroach King in "The Good Doctor" as well. There's a keyboard keyboard part exactly similar to one in "Cockroach King". The last line of the chorus of "The Good Doctor" says "Brings an empire to its knees". The last chorus in "Cockroach King" has the lyric " An empire falling to its knees".
From all this, I think we can safely conclude that the "The Good Doctor" and "Puzzle Box" are very closely related and happen in the same universe. Furthermore, I think it is not absurd to speculate that the Cockroach King is actually patient #21, the patient from whose perspective "Puzzle Box" is written.
P.S : If you have difficulty in finding the exact things mentioned here in the video, feel free to let me know, I'll post screenshots of the same. And as I said before, set the video speed to 0.25x atleast one second before the timings mentioned in this answer and keep pausing and resuming quickly to get the desired part of the video!
If you notice the very first frame the video is released by Mountview institution, and the logo is a mountain's silhouette, like Haken's The Mountain album.
Ah yes, that's true as well!
The video also says that Mountview instiution was established in 1895. There also happens to be someone born in 1895 with the middle name "Haken" as well xD www.ancestry.com.au/genealogy/records/carolina-haken-svensson_43132804
Right at the end it says "V.I.S.I.O.N.S foundation as well 😅😅
Welcome to the amazing world of Haken!
Ray Hearne's drums in the first two songs off of this album are next level. I can't wait to see him play these songs live
There is no live edit!
saw it live. They have absolutely no business recreating this song live as well as they did. 6:00 to the end of the song is an eargasm
@@jetydosa1 Right? Veil/Nil were amazing too. First time I've seen a mosh pit at a Haken show haha.
Best band in prog metal right now?
Yes. Or The Fierce and The Dead.
I would say among the top three. With Leprous and Between the Buried and Me
Not even close...
then who? I'd say Dream Theater & Devin Townsend are up there for me with Haken
Nevermore
Protest the Hero
Manticora
Symphony X
Communic
Therion
Just go into Haken with their most recent album, Virus and going back through their discography....just wow! I'm almost happy to be listening to it in this order. Hearing the same Motifs used in this song as A Glutton for Punishment, as well as all the others sprinkled throughout their works with a story spanning multiple albums. Truly a treat!
I've been doing the same thing! So far listened to the last three albums on repeat and love them all. Extremely difficult to pick a favourite but maybe Vector or Affinity since my fave songs are on them (Puzzle Box, 1985 & Earthrise). The last two minutes or so on this one are so sweet, pure ear candy (even if there's quite a juxtaposition between that and the lyrics, lol)!
Huge song. Incredible. HAKEN is one of the greatest prog-rock bands that ever existed. They generate brilliant music that moves!
5:03 TWO BEARS HIGH FIVING
Fantastic track, I love how they mix those modern and "classical" progressive elements on their music so well.
The rorschach test figures creep the hell out of me
Right? Especially when you are watching this video on the middle of the night
michael from vsauce seems pissed off 5:33
#justiceforray
I'm really annoyed that nobody opened that box
Should've had another one inside it.
All they have to do is slide it diagonally.
czcams.com/video/xp-PENvptu0/video.html 3:40 thanks me later
Im just here screaming. Slide your fingers over the the box!
I mean, they're pretty upfront about the situation: "unable to solve this puzzle box".
Gotta love how all the bandmembers are completely losing their minds over the box while Ross is just calmly toying around with it
This needs more recognition, quality music
the tone of every instrument is perfect. this band should take over the world!!
This song makes me intellectually insecure.
good, that's call, potencial of improvement
Let not , synapse surges , make you feel like stepping out of your comfort zone . Don't fear it , accept it , thank Haken : You getting smarter ...
6:06 good ol Haken
Yes
And why we love them!
I just saw these guys this night in Cleveland and my god, it was great!! Great stage preformance, great mixing, great live musicianship etc. They amwere amazing!!
Without a doubt the most original sounding prog rock band to come along since Rush! HAKEN is the best prog band in the world right now! Dream Theater was my favorite, but HAKEN is more original sounding now. I just completely fell in love with them! Their music is so fucking awesome! It’s like they remind me of when I first found Rush in 1975 and they had a new sound that nobody else had. That’s what HAKEN has. A sound that nobody else has right now!!!
You should give the band Leprous a listen. They are on the same level as Haken and are one of the best prog bands out there. Check out their album Bilateral!
bilateral then manila
Malina is incredibly underrated. What an excellent album.
Giving you a thumbs up for mentioning Dream Theater.....
This song reminds me of the album Coma Ecliptic by Between the Buried and Me
I love this song so much. And while I appreciate the fact that they took the time and money to make a video, they could have just put a single drum cam on Ray for the entire song and I'd be thrilled
A work of art. That’s what this song is. A work of art.
I AM SO HYPEDDDDD!! I love this band SO MUCHHHH!!
I’m with ya on that for sure!
In my opinion, Haken is one of the best and most genuinely 'progressive' bands currently working. You only get envelope pushing, genre bending gems like these from a very small handful of other bands, and it's comparatively rare for a band to be this consistently innovative over the course of so many albums. To date, I haven't heard a single piece of music by them that didn't leave me with a big grin by the end.
Beautiful work, guys! The way that you rolled this track and video out piece by piece was very clever and fun. I'm really digging the progression of your sound, as well. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Knowing the solution to this puzzle, I was kinda mad during the whole thing I almost forgot to listen to the song :v
Some of them were pretty close to the answer xD
Can you tell me the solution? Do you have to slide it diagonally?
Search for "dovetail box" on CZcams, it will be easier than trying to explain it by text ahah ;)
Same for me :D "Will they finally find the solution ?????" :D
They are super smart dudes, im sure they did a lot of it fake just for the vid
Wtf Kodi022 it's not because they write insanely good music that they're supposed to be puzzle masters xD
Cool song! One of my favorites of Haken.
I love how the video is just the band getting frustrated opening a puzzle box, kinda brilliant idea.
I usually dont get addicted to any song, but this I have listened to a dozen times past few days.
The outro is so freakin good
3:42 Roscharch's two bears highfiving
The atmosphere in that video is spot on!
Haken is a mix of dream theater, tool, opeth, radiohead, metallica, Haken is a puzzle music.
Some muse and Queen in there too.
Damn I love this. I'm a huge dream theater fan and this comes close but does so with it's own style
Never thought I would say this but I think they’ve beaten the masters at their own game…..CALIGULAS HORSE in particular. I keep trying to deny it but it sounds to me like Dream Theater are “selling out” out more and more. It’s inevitable now with the arena gigs 😪😪
Love this song. Love this band. Love this video. Love that I'm in love.
Hate that puzzle box and how no one opened it.
Awesome song. Easily my favorite from this album. Keep it up bois.
That sounds amazing It was a pleasure to meet you guys by the way you have an amazing vocalist
Every Haken song deserves a video. It makes them come alive and adds an element of explainability to such complex music.
Love this song! Miss you guys ❤
Derrick Schneider 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
Sounds great, especially from 6:21 part,it`s very interesting.Good job Haken !
Brilliant and versatile...love it!
Mais uma obra prima da melhor banda de prog da atualidade.
I’ve never noticed before how fucking phenomenal and complex this song is…….at around 5 mins there’s an amazing polyrhythm……I think its 10/8 under a vocal 12/8…. But it still flows and it doesn’t sound like applied mathematics lol
If you're referring to the really floaty section with the electronic drums before the chaotic part, I think it's somewhere in 11/8, though the drums do play some 5/4 things in the chaotic part, as far as I can hear
6:48 love that keyboard part ♡ amazing!
I like how Rich tries to cover up his clear anger by smiling
I love progressive metal!!! I love Haken!!! But do not forget: When there were no Dream Theater there were no Haken too! You cluld say what you want, it is a Fact. Love to you all❤
I agree but I think they’ve taken it a lot further than dream theater have with the elctronica, fusion and djent ♥️
Perfection lml
Talented and underrated band in metal scene.
Underrated? When? Where?
ulfingvar1 compared to bands like gojira and alter bridge, which get all the exposition they deserve, and a7x, which gets far too much, haken is far too obscure, especially considering how awesome they are
Oro puro 💜
we're in 2018 and these guys are making music in 6018
Yes man
I'm addicted to this new album
Best of the 3 songs I have heard off the new album in my opinion. Can't wait to see them in Boston!
im gooning to this song rn
Video is whatever. Saw this band live in atl. Absolute power. Wow.
Great composition
see you next march in Milan.Italy.😄.yessss cant wait my favorite band.😎.

@@p.4300 si il 3 marzo magazzini generali a milano
AAAAYEEEE ! ♥
Bravo!
I am so excited about the new track that I can't even focus on it
What a fucking epic final chorus!!... And of course the rest of the song is also pretty good!
¡HAKEN, nos vemos el 2019 en Lima!
No fui csm y me arrepiento en el alma
Too good.
Took a couple of listens for me, but now I love this track!
One of the best choruses ever, I usually listen to this one twice in a row!
Excelente trabajo, me sorprendio bastante este cambio, muy interesante y el djent de primera, bateria fenomenal WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This goes just as hard as I needed it to. I LOVE the rhythm shenanigans and chord progression here. Fuckin beautiful match to the vocals.
5:03 YO ITS TWO BEARS HIGH-FIVING
FROM NEW VEGAS
The answer lies beyond the fourth wall.
"Puzzle Box"
Latent memories forming deep inside of me
Dormant barren visceral senses now subdued
No escape. I navigate through my cave
Beneath the skin. They keep us in night and day
Parasite - Leech upon the guilt from all my wrongs
(Lead me on a pathway to the core)
Paralysed - Staring through the shadows on the wall
(Unable to solve this puzzle box)
The journey's long, the shadows dance around
The answer lies beyond the fourth wall
My future days are etched into my skull
Hanging ever by a tethered body, mind and soul
Parasite - Leech upon the guilt from all my wrongs
(Lead me on a pathway to the core)
Paralysed - Staring through the shadows on the wall
(Unable to solve this puzzle box)
Truth or deception? I lose all perception inside
A fleeting sense of self worth evaporates into nothingness
A tepid grip on myself melts away to oblivion
Shadows on the wall dance around
Reflections in the amber to be found
A puppet on a string soon unwound
The truth inside the cave soon to be unbound
The path beyond the mountain led me here
The answer crystallised in history
But now the cracks of time begin to show
We lift the veil on what the future holds
The torture of entrapment ever grows
And now I'm waiting for the afterglow
A beast inside of me awakening
Alas the consequences of my sins
Shadows on the wall dance around
Reflections in the amber to be found
A puppet on a string soon unwound
The truth inside the cave soon to be unbound
Parasites as thick as thieves
Paralysed my golden wings
Bouncing off the walls
Latent memories erupting
Pulling at the cord
Earth beneath my feet is trembling
Lightning cracks the sky
'Wakening the beast inside me
Rawness in his eyes
Reeking stench of fear and regret
Cause and consequence
Show me reverence
Fate or circumstance?
I feel severance
Lightning cracks the sky
Eyes intensify
I will stay trapped inside
How can truth set us free when lies are all we have?
How can time heal us when our days are running out?
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best prog I've heard since Extols last release in 2013
Epic finale ❤️
this song just made made me realize i had to end that bad relationship with my girlfriend, puzzle box solved, i will thank you forever Haken. and its not a joke, sometimes you try to find solutions to unsolvables things thinking everything can be solved.
This album just came out when I broke up with my gf. I always associate Vector and Visions (I had just decided to listen to Haken) with my breakup too.
Yes!
YES!
Y E S !
\m/
Best song.
Superb! Added to the Ever Metal CZcams and October Spotify Playlists \m/
Anyone notice the Crystal Wing (Crystallised) and the Midas Wing (Cockroach King)?
Where?
Next time they come to Melbourne, I'm there.
See you in June then 😎
2:21 E.C. Tobias-Rex, now where've i heard that one
Nolly!!!!!!
fantastic!!!! SEE YOU ALL LIVE IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND NOVEMBER 6TH! THE BEST TO YOU ALL!!! sincerely ian........
Selon moi Haken a détrôné Dream Theater il est avec Leprous un des meilleurs groupes de métal progressif actuels !
Absolument
Best band in the world
This song gives me the creepz. And so nostalgic of a time i was not alive. Tesla.
Drums ... Percussion ... are objects of my passion ... Ray ( Hearn ) , doing this in such way , just wanting me to quit ... chasing the beat , intirely the meaning of my feverished heat ... the drums , He (Ray) puts new meaning to my pods ... relax , there's new Puzzle Box to be unwaxed .
Torontonian Pete , sends greetings and gratitude , to Ray Hearn ... Are We going to play that Crystallized , or not 😉
5:34 Hey Vsauce Michael here
Got to meet and hang out a bit with them during the First Prog Cruise back in 2013. Awesome guys, awesome music. Just ordered the CD. Is it just me or does this song have a lot of their other music mixed in it?
So many references in the papers !!! But the question is : is Dr. Tokias Rex the Cockroach King ??
1:58
Yeah
Great stuff guys! Are you planning a tour in Eastern Europe?
Why does Diego look like that type of a barber who serves his clients whiskey upon arrival?
Puzzle Box Lyric:

Dormant barren visceral senses now subdued
No escape. I navigate through my cave
Beneath the skin. They keep us in night and day
Parasite - Leech upon the guilt from all my wrongs

Paralysed - Staring through the shadows on the wall
(Unable to solve this puzzle box)
The journey's long, the shadows dance around
The answer lies beyond the fourth wall
My future days are etched into my skull
Hanging ever by a tethered body, mind and soul
Parasite - Leech upon the guilt from all my wrongs
(Lead me on a pathway to the core)
Paralysed - Staring through the shadows on the wall
(Unable to solve this puzzle box)
Truth or deception? I lose all perception inside
A fleeting sense of self worth evaporates into nothingness

Fate or circumstance?
I feel severance
Lightning cracks the sky
Eyes intensify
I will stay trapped inside
Until the cells divide
How can truth set us free when lies are all we have?
How can time heal us when our days are running out?
I just noticed that the part at 2:59 sounds really similar to "Decks Dark" by Radiohead at 1:22. Probably just a coincidence but pretty cool resemblance!
Awesome song by Haken, anyone got the Cloudkicker vibe with the main riff?
There’s absolutely no doubt about it but ross jennings knows how to CRAFT a killer CHORUS ♥️
