Affinity is the fourth studio album by English progressive metal band Haken. It was released on 29 April 2016 by Inside Out Music.[1] It is the group's first full-length album with the bass guitarist Conner Green following the departure of Thomas MacLean.

The first single, "Initiate", was released on 18 March 2016, along with a music video. The second single, "The Endless Knot", was released for digital download on 15 April 2016, a few days after the release of the lyric video.

To promote the album, the band had its official website completely redesigned to simulate a 1980s operating system.[2][3]
