De ce ne intereseaz\u0103 Soen? Grupul a tot fost la noi \u00een ultimii ani, uneori \u00een Quantic, uneori la marile festivaluri sau \u00een deschidere la o trup\u0103 mare.<\/p>\n
Cu acest al \u0219aptelea album, SOEN \u2014 forma\u021bia condus\u0103 de vocalistul Joel Ekel\u00f6f \u0219i tobo\u0219arul Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth) \u2014 continu\u0103 explorarea contrastelor care definesc sunetul lor: lumina \u0219i \u00eentunericul, intensitatea \u0219i calmul, greutatea \u0219i melodia. \u201eReliance\u201d pare s\u0103 duc\u0103 mai departe identitatea trupei, bazat\u0103 pe sinceritate emo\u021bional\u0103 \u0219i o for\u021b\u0103 sonor\u0103 nefiltrat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Piesa \u201eMercenary\u201d surprinde perfect aceast\u0103 dualitate. Versurile trateaz\u0103 mo\u0219tenirea violen\u021bei \u0219i modul \u00een care ura se transmite din genera\u021bie \u00een genera\u021bie, influen\u021b\u00e2nd destine \u0219i rela\u021bii. \u201eEste despre violen\u021ba pe care o mo\u0219tenim, care apoi las\u0103 ura s\u0103 se infiltreze \u00een vie\u021bi \u2013 \u0219i \u00een \u00eens\u0103\u0219i via\u021ba noastr\u0103 \u2013 model\u00e2nd genera\u021bii \u00eentregi\u201d, a declarat Joel Ekel\u00f6f. Martin Lopez completeaz\u0103: \u201eAbordeaz\u0103 \u0219i tema tr\u0103d\u0103rii, a felului \u00een care ajungem s\u0103 \u00eencoron\u0103m vulturii ca regi\u201d. Din punct de vedere muzical, piesa p\u0103streaz\u0103 ADN-ul SOEN \u2014 grea, dar melodic precis\u0103, construit\u0103 pe un echilibru \u00eentre rafinament \u0219i for\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Primul single de pe album, \u201ePrimal\u201d, lansat recent, este o explozie de energie care vorbe\u0219te despre lupta sufletului uman cu lumea modern\u0103 \u2014 o lume dominat\u0103 de corup\u021bie, diviziune \u0219i dependen\u021b\u0103 de tehnologie. \u201eEste o pies\u0103 n\u0103scut\u0103 din frustrare, dar care ofer\u0103 \u0219i speran\u021b\u0103 prin refrenul ei deschis, ca o amintire c\u0103 lumina poate str\u0103punge \u00eentunericul\u201d, a explicat Lopez. Ekel\u00f6f adaug\u0103: \u201eNu e doar despre agresivitate. Este despre a redescoperi focul interior, despre a \u00eencuraja oamenii s\u0103-\u0219i reg\u0103seasc\u0103 pasiunea \u0219i s\u0103 ias\u0103 din \u00eentuneric \u00eempreun\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
