Soen were ProgMetal,
...and that was possibly the best thing... but not the only one!
But certain sensations are ineffable, certain works are almost intangible in a journey that must be evaluated in its maturity.
A journey that reminds me of Tesseract, who began with a sharp Progressive and landed on the shores of a linear yet refined Alternative.
Perhaps this is precisely where 'Reliance' finds its essence.

I'd honestly believe you if you said this album was AI-generated. I think it's mainly because of the vocals, they're annoyingly bland and irritating. It sucks to say all of this, as Martin Lopez might be my favorite drummer of all time. I've never gotten into Soen, and this album did anything but help the cause.
That album cover is giving The Last of Us at home vibes and the title is some shit like "The Quite Few of Us."
Never really been into these guys, and that's a shame because Opeth's former drummer is a founding member of this group, and I really love his work. Decided to try again with these guys with this new album, hoping they could wow me this time.

Um disco maduro e coeso. Imerso no meu emocional, a banda se afasta cada vez mais dos seus primórdios e abraça uma pegada mais alternativa e músicas pra rádio, e isso não me incomoda. Todo lançamento (sejam bastante iguais) acabam sempre me conquistando.
Faixas Favoritas: Primal; Vellichor; Indifferent.
I initially had this band confused with another 4-letter-name prog group: Kolm. For those unfamiliar with Kolm, they are literally the epitome of "TOOL at home". So I went into this album expecting to be bored out of my mind.
I was! But not because it was blatant TOOL worship, just because it was ass.
The vocals are the main culprit for this, they just sound so modern and overproduced. I messed around with Suno AI when it first gained popularity, and this album sounds like something ... read more
This album was my first experience with Soen, and after hearing this, I absolutely wanna hear more of their stuff. Because this album is just an absolute banger.
Favorite Tracks: Primal, Mercernary, Draconian, Discordia, Unbound
