Soen – Reliance

Swedish progressive metal visionaries Soen return with their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Reliance. Led by Joel Ekelöf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums), the band once again crafts a dynamic exploration of the spaces between light and dark, heavy and soothing, raw and refined.

Joined by Lars Enok Åhlund (keyboards & guitar), Cody Lee Ford (guitar), and Stefan Stenberg (bass), Soen continues their powerful sonic evolution. Reliance moves seamlessly through deeply human emotional terrain, with tracks ranging from the ferocious energy of Primal to the serene elegance of Indifferent. The album is both thoughtful and brutal — a journey that pushes at the boundaries of the human mind, heart, and soul.
