Album Notes & Community Reviews
The debut solo effort from the Haken guitarist explores deep time and evolutionary history through a heavily conceptual, riff-driven framework. 'Tiktaalika' leans heavily on classic thrash metal ferocity, tempering its intense technicality with quirky melodic interludes and a host of high-profile guest vocalists.
