More Info:
Soen - the Swedish progressive metal powerhouse spearheaded by Joel Ekelöf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums) - continue to find incredible new pathways into the spatial areas between light and dark, loud and calm, heavy and soothing. And with it's seamless march across deeply human emotional terrain, their forthcoming 7th studio album Reliance, Soen continues to explore the human mind, heart, and soul with a visionary duty of care, plus an extra edge of heavy. With Lars Enok Åhlund (keyboards & guitar), Cody Lee Ford (guitar), and Stefan Stenberg (bass) standing shoulder to shoulder with Ekelöf and Lopez, the lush continual evolution of Soen's sound soars. Take "Primal", a barrel-chested roar detailing the existential fight between the human spirit and our current world, Ekelöf's incredible vocals leading the heavy charge. "Axis" is a resolute and defiant look into where humanity sits, propelled by Lopez's relentless yet swinging drums, and then there's the serene elegance of "Indifferent" a beautifully orchestrated modern lament on the loss of love which rides resolutely on the power of strings, piano, and Ekelöf's marvellous voice. With Reliance, Soen continue their extraordinarily raw and earnest lifetime exploration of the mental and physical boundaries which challenge humankind as it writhes and wrestles with itself in these challenging times. Thoughtful, provocative, beautiful and brutal, Reliance is a journey you need to take.
