SOEN Unveil Music Video For ‘Covenant’ Track
March 5th, 2019

Stockholm, Sweden-based progressive rock / metal group Soen have filmed a music music video for the track ‘Covenant’. Directed by RISK and Maxi Muniz and produced by Carolina Sosa, the clip can be viewed below.

Drummer and founder Martin Lopez stated: “Sometimes we choose to believe that we live in a well-adjusted society, but often than not, the truth differs. There are secrets everywhere, concealed carefully behind closed doors. Secrets that hide your despair and feed on your hopelessness, mistreated and misled by the people that are supposed to protect you.

“‘Covenant’ talks about one’s inner strength to fight back: it takes courage for one individual to take a stance, but it is necessary in order to survive. The true hero is not who’s called so by society’s standards, but the one that finds that inner strength and lead others by example.”

Soen issued fourth full-length studio album Lotus on February 1st, 2019 through Silver Lining Music.

“We are all very fortunate to have this place where we can go and explore thoughts, perspectives and emotions which everyday life maybe does not have the room for,” commented Martin Lopez. “There are definitely things that we say, and places we go, in Soen which would be very hard to express without us coming together and creating music.”

Produced by David Castillo and Iñaki Marconi at Ghostward Studios and Studio 6 between July and October 2018, Lotus marks the first Soen effort to be recorded with guitarist Cody Ford.

“The world right now is undeniably a very strange, tense place,” said Lopez, in relation to the album’s lyrical content. “I think the songs clearly reflect that, but they also reflect that we must now be stronger than ever in challenging, confronting, and dealing with the pandemonium life throws at us all.”

“Ultimately,” concluded vocalist Joel Ekelöf, “Lotus is about rising from whatever darkness, or dark places, you might find yourself. And its inspiration comes from a deep motivation to not just settle for the situation you might find yourself in. Lotus is about changing life – both your own and your surroundings for which we must all take responsibility – and make them better rather than letting darkness pacify you and take you down.”
