CHARLIE GRIFFITHS, guitarist for British progressive metal heavyweights HAKEN, recently released his debut solo album ‘Tiktaalika’. Charlie has launched a video for the track ‘Digging Deeper’, a song that features vocals from none other than Charlie himself. Watch it below.

Charlie comments: “In the context of Tiktaalika, this song is a conversation between a fossilised ancestor and a modern day human, digging down though the rock strata, peeling back the layers of time. Both are connected, but are separated by hundreds of millions of years – until that point of discovery and reconnection. On a purely human level, we all have friends or family members we wish we could talk to again, but physically cannot and I was very much conscious of that feeling when writing and singing these words.”

The album includes stunning artwork from Dan Goldsworthy, and is available as a Ltd CD Edition, Gatefold 180g 2LP+CD & as Digital Album. Order HERE.

Charlie Griffiths, guitarist with British progressive metal heavyweights Haken, is pleased to announce his debut solo album ‘Tiktaalika’ for release on the 17th June 2022 via InsideOutMusic.

With musical roots still firmly in the progressive realm, Charlie draws from his love of old-school 80s thrash, 90s tech-metal and alternative rock. Running the gamut from melodic to avant-garde to straight-up heavy, you might say Tiktaalika bridges the gap between King Crimson and King Diamond!

The album includes stunning artwork from Dan Goldsworthy, and will be available as a Ltd CD Edition, Gatefold 180g 2LP+CD & as Digital Album.
