SOEN, the Swedish progressive metal powerhouse featuring Joel Ekelöf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums), delivers their 7th studio album, Reliance. This album continues their exploration of deep human emotional terrain, navigating the spatial areas between light and dark, loud and calm, heavy and soothing, while maintaining an extra edge of heavy.

Joined by Lars Enok Åhlund (keyboards & guitar), Cody Lee Ford (guitar), and Stefan Stenberg (bass), SOEN showcases the lush continual evolution of their sound. Experience tracks like the barrel-chested roar of “Primal,” the resolute defiance of “Axis” propelled by Lopez’s drums, and the serene elegance of the string and piano-backed lament, “Indifferent.”
