Progressive quintet Soen have announced the release of their seventh record. Titled Reliance, the album is slated to arrive on January 16 via Silver Lining Music. The announcement is accompanied with the video for the effort’s first single, “Primal”. Drummer Martin Lopez said of the track:
“‘Primal’ is a song that came from a place of frustration with the world we’re living in. The corruption, the division and the suffocating grip that technology has on all of us. It’s heavy and straight to the point, built on riffs and raw energy, but it also opens up into a chorus that feels hopeful, like a reminder that light can still break through the dark.”
Singer Joel Ekelöf said:
“For us, it’s about more than just aggression. It’s about encouraging people to find that fire again, to reconnect with passion, and to take those steps out of the darkness together.”
