This Haven is a band from Örebro,
Sweden with influences from different genres from metal such as
progressive, hardcore and stoner music. The band was born in the
autumn of 2003 by the old time friends, Patrik Karlsson (Vocals,
Guitar), Tobbe Jacobsson (Guitar), Johan Berglund (Bass) and Nicklas
Keijser (Drums, Percussion). The ambition with This Haven was (and
still is) to create something new and fresh within the metal scene
of today. The music that This Haven creates is equally dark, heavy
and groovy as it is melodic and melancholic. This gives a very own
kind of sound that stands out and leads the way into the future.
Since 2003 This Haven has been featured in several radio stations
and magazines, e.g. one of the most interesting new bands in Metal
Hammer, interviewed on the radio show Total Rock by Malcolm Dome.
This Haven has played a lot of gigs and some festivals together with
bands like Nightingale, Alabama Thunderpussy, The Bereaved and
Evergrey among others. If you have seen This Haven live you know
that This Haven is an ass-kicking live band that always gives 110%
on stage and has a lot of passion for the music.
This Haven started from the beginning to work hard with a lot of
rehearsing and writing songs. The release of the first demo “Disexist”,
in April 2004, was very well received by magazines, webzines and
radio stations all over the world. It was mixed and produced with
help by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale).
In September 2004 they began to record their second demo “My Year
Zero”. Dan Swanö mixed and produced the demo, which included six
songs of very high class. The demo was released in January 2005.
With this demo the number of fans increased rapidly and people
started to know about This Haven. Even this demo was very well
received by the critics around the globe.
And in July 2005 This Haven went into their own studio again to
create their third demo “A Soul Open Wide”, but this time they
decided to record and produce the demo by themselves. It was a
2-track demo and the critics loved it and wanted more from This
Haven.
In 2006 they finally got a record label on the hook. It was Vic
Records that finally had got attention for This Haven. After signing
the record deal they went into the studio in August 2006 and started
to record their debut album “Today a whisper, Tomorrow a storm”. Dan
Swanö helped them a lot in the beginning of the recording sessions
and he has also mixed and mastered the album. Robert Johansson has
taken all the photos and Matt Wickerstaff (Cathedral, My Dying Bride)
designed the cover art for the album.
The album will be released on 20th October 2008 - That date is the
beginning of a new era of metal music.
The album is a 9-track kick-ass that will blow your head off.
And beware, because This Haven is marching on…
