Soen – Reliance Review
By Dolphin Whisperer
At their very best, the Sweden-by-way-of-globetrotting Soen has produced music ranging from forlorn and mystical to organ-blaring and heart-wrenching. While we often talk about progressive music in terms of its tendency for extravagance and meticulous detail, we skip that many of these artists iterate around ideas that lean insular and lacking broad appeal. By its many definitions, this recontextualizing of rock music has sought to express even more directly the hopes of its creators at whatever cost. But in that pool, bands like Soen have attempted both to attack with this personal expression, in the frenetic footwork of Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth) and the lilting mic mastery of Joel Ekelöf, and lay barbed chorus with these same tools. However, the course of the progressive artist, no matter how light on genre checklist it may be, is one that belongs only to the artist.
Genre definition, of course, doesn’t matter in the face of potent music. On this iterative path toward simplicity—one carved first in large part by Lykaia’s jagged riffage over lockstep rhythm converging with Ekelöf’s growth as the focal point of all crescendos—Soen’s trajectory of snappy runtime, stadium-sized concoctions eschews definitive purity for incessant melody. Enlisting Tony Lindgren again on the board, Reliance mirrors the heavier guitar crunch from Memorial and cements itself with a dual-tone personality—one chunky, modern, a-djent-cent thump (“Discordia” in particular) and another bright, stadium harmonizing wail (“Mercenary,” “Axis,” “Unbound”). In both, Reliance wields immediacy and an ability to frame Ekelöf’s ascending runs in a package trimmed of distracting adornments. This does mean, unfortunately, that returning bassist Stefan Stenberg (last featured on Lotus) finds his spot in the roster less as a Tool-leaning jammer and more of a felt guitar-backing pulse.
Absent a warbling 4-stringer1, its svelte existence, Reliance lands self-similar at its heaviest moments, rendering these intensity climbs rather flat. To the seasoned Soen enjoyer, an air of familiarity surrounds the crawling bounce of “Mercenary” (or “Primal” or “Axis” or “Unbound” or “Draconian”).2 With Ekelöf falling in greater rhythm with the kick-riff patterns that adorn Soen’s compositions, Reliance slides from start to finish with an unsettling ease, these familiar flickers creating a near sense of déjà vu. From the intro whammy dive that explodes against alternate-picked strut to the delicate and multi-tracked vocal harmony that closes “Draconian,” a collage of fist-pumping anthems and lighter-waving crooners flood and fade and only threaten to tether to memory in their low differentiation presentation. Closer “Vellichor,” in that sense, feels awkward in its throwback to a more progressive attack, despite its Floydian guitar weeping and sonorous background accompaniment. Yet its ability to stand out in this presentation, along with other slower tracks like the arena-booming “Huntress” or the ode to angsty heartbreak “Indifferent,” gives Reliance a fighting chance for replayability.
Soen presenting unmistakably as Soen, however, allows Reliance to take chances on lower density arrangements with highlight details that will reward those who do latch on to its vision. Ekelöf himself sits central to many of these diversifying blips, with seconds-long tricks like letting out the gruffest ough in Soen history (“Primal”), pulling higher grit power punches with subtle underlying harmonies (“Discordia”), and finding a goofy smirk in an extra poppy pitch-shifted vocal doubling (“Drifter”). All of these techniques, to those old and new in Soen fandom, spell the potential for differentiation and attachment in a playing field that may appear uniform at first. And, of course, Soen continues to lean on the blaring talents of lead guitarist Cody Ford, whose varied bluesy aplomb never fails to tickle the “classic big solo” part of my listening brain.
Reliance continues to try to paint Soen as a gritty rock band with enough heart and lush detail to carve a unique spot in the popular realm. Soen’s energy still remains in this pursuit, even if the peak tracks of this outing don’t swing as hard as I’d hoped. This sort of comfort, though, keeps Reliance from ever firing a dud, which is an accomplishment now seven albums in. And with warmer and more expressive production than a major act like Alter Bridge3, and with more energy than a related act like Katatonia, Soen exists in a middle-ground identity primed for being a bridge to a wide rock-loving audience, even if Reliance leaves me just to the side nodding in appreciation and curiosity to see who crosses over.

Yesterday, I saw some of my personal heroes live again. #AlterBridge where a big part of most of my life, and they rocked the house in Hamburg yesterday. They brought two big names as support. First #Sevendust, whicht I completely forgot about. Listened to them excessively in the 00s, and they opened like a thunderstorm, with perfect energy and the crowd response was awesome. Very happy seeing them again after so many years.
#Daughtry on the other hand were the complete opposite. The set consisted mostly of power ballads and very mediocre songs, and he even tried an acoustic guitar Song. As a support... That was the worst gig I ever saw...

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From ULVER, ALTER BRIDGE & More Out The Weeks Of 1/2 Thru 1/9
#ULVER #ALTERBRIDGE #TheWeeklyInjection #NewReleasesFrom #newrelease #MetalInjection #metal #music
None of their albums have sold me on the first listen.
I can't believe that the song #HangByAThread got me to cry immediately.
I'm such a sucker for songs that play as a sequel to older songs, and I could tell immediately that musically this was a follow-up to #WatchOverYou. That song has always held a special place in my heart listening to it as the recipient of concern, and Hang By A Thread is clearly the other side of that conversation.
I feel so heard
#AlterBridge #AlterBridge8 #AB8
I am a die-hard #AlterBridge fan. I have been for more than a decade. I know the words to all of their songs. I own every one of their albums on vinyl, and most of their live albums. I own all the live performance DVDs that I can find.
Alter Bridge, la banda que se formó a partir de los ex miembros de Creed junto al extraordinario vocalista Miles Kennedy, lanza un disco homónimo. La 8va producción en la carrera del grupo.

Ich kenne Alter Bridge bisher nur vom Namen nach. Ist ein äußerst informatives Interview, was sich um Songwriting und zusätzlich um KI generierten Quatsch dreht.
Vielleicht höre ich mal rein.
