Thank you for supporting the band please 'like' for updates and for information about upcoming gigs/tours. Formed in 2011, Bakken are a classic heavy metal band from Northern Ireland. The quartet describe their sound as “combining the visceral edge, gruff vocals and choppy riffing of early thrash metal with melodic sensibilities and complex song structures of German power metal and NWOBHM”. Bakken have quickly amassed a loyal following thanks to the incredibly postive press attention gained worldwide since the release of their debut 2012 album ‘Death Of A Hero’ which was released for free via the bands Bandcamp page... The bands tight and energetic live performances have established Bakken on the local live circuit and has seen the band quickly work up to headlining their own shows and supporting bigger name touring acts such as Tim "Ripper" Owens, Doug Aldrich, Hell etc The Official Facebook Page of Northern Irish Classic Heavy Metal Band Bakken.
