ππππππ:
Here we are
Blaming failure on the other
Here we are awaiting to depart
Do we care
Just enough to aid our brother
Do we care enough to cease the harm
With every step we take we get further away.
From everything we need to reach harmony
For all of us who wonβt linger on to pretend
And everyone who follows their dreams
Runaway
From the weights that keep you cornered
Find a way to take back what is yours
You and I
Weβre depending on each other
While divided we wonβt hear the call
Where do I heal when the river runs dry?
How do I sweeten the bitter?
A word decides our fate
And our silence condemns
Would you give us what is left of your time
Give yourself up for the others
The choices are our own
But the failure weβll share
The man in charge is announcing
Heβll be the one who saves the earth and feeds the poor
And when that promise is broken
The next in line with the same lies will claim the throne
For every step he takes we get further away
From finding what we need to reach unity
With every word he says he condemns who we are
Depriving us from reaching our dreams
Where do I heal when the river runs dry?
How do I sweeten the bitter?
A word decides our fate
And our silence condemns
Would you give us what is left of your time
Give yourself up for the other
The choices are our own
But the failure weβll share.
ππππππππ is a song about the shared responsibility amongst us if we wish to improve the world, change has to be made by us, you and me…the people. We canβt just sit around and wait for those in power to help, they are preoccupied battling each other in matters of greed and power. Itβs about the frustration of feeling powerless but also the hope in realising that things can be changed for the better, if we stop criticising each other and making enemies of ourselves by blindly following the ideas of politicians and their media π€

The provocative, imperious and engaging Swedish-based metal group SOEN will unveil their fifth album, IMPERIAL, via Silver Lining Music on January 29th 2021. Founder members Joel EkelΓΆf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums), along with Lars Enok Γ hlund (keyboards and guitar), Oleksii βZlatoyarβ Kobel (bass) and Cody Ford (lead guitar) have never shied away from challenging our perceptions of life and humanity, and IMPERIAL continues SOENβs unique journey through the psyche of our species and the conundrum of our times. Eight crisp, sharp, and supremely constructed songs spanning frustration, reflection and hope, IMPERIAL is the most direct fierce? and dynamic release of SOENβs journey, one which continues to be deeply therapeutic for both the groupβs dedicated followers and the band themselves.
Produced by IΓ±aki Marconi and the band, IMPERIAL was mixed and mastered by Kane Churko, who has worked with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Bob Dylan, giving songs such as βIllusionβ, βModestyβ and the epic closer βFortuneβ a dimension and richness which will reach yet more ears and minds. The sheer power and poetry of SOENβs dynamics are more completely executed and honed than ever before, something which is perversely a product of the COVID-19 pandemic.
IMPERIAL is an album which will engage the listener immediately and sustain long after this crazy time has passed, its rich details destined to make it a classic metal album of this era.
