Visions

Haken is a band I stumbled across a few years ago. They are listed in most places as Prog (Progressive Heavy Metal). A lot of their work reminds me of Progressive Rock from the 1970s.

Visions is a concept album, and this song is the closing of the story.

It is a concept album like its predecessor, telling the story of "a young boy who sees his own death in his dreams and believes it's going to happen and spends the rest of his life trying to avoid it." The long closing track "Visions" is the end of the story but it makes it come full circle to the beginning. The track was written by Ross based on a premonition of his own death and it was the first song to be written, with the album growing around it.

This is "Visions" by Haken. It is the title song to their 2011 album. For some reason they had the need to remaster the album in 2017. This is the remastered version. The song is 22 minutes long, so plan accordingly.
