Introducing Haven, the hidden stars of Berlin’s post-metal underground! Following two EPs and performances alongside acts such as Amenra, Hexis, Esben And The Witch and others, which earned the band a reputation as an intense and powerful live act, Haven are now entering the next phase with their individual mix of alternative/post-metal and the release of their first album »Causes«.

Continuing their themes around reflection of our existence, personal relationships, consequences of action, and all-encompassing interconnectedness, »Causes« offers a multi-faceted musical landscape: a mixture of manic aggression and fragile intimacy that has a cathartic effect and leaves the listener with a lasting impression.

Seeking to reach new grounds and audiences, Haven set out to play many more shows in 2025, with plans for new music and the further development of their artistic potential already in the back of their minds.

Haven delve deep into the themes of their music: What are the causes and consequences of our actions and our existence? »Causes« explores the question of how autonomous we truly are, given our upbringing, experiences, and fears. “It’s also about recognizing the all-encompassing cycle of things,” explains frontman Norman Siegel. “At the end of which, hopefully, lies an illuminated perspective on life.” He strives for catharsis, which is conveyed not only through the lyrics but also reflected in the music. »Causes« oscillates between brutal outbursts of raw power and moments of tranquility, mirroring the dynamics of the human emotional spectrum. After all, everything is interconnected and in constant flux – as the band puts it: “All will take from all, and all will flow back into all.”
