I accidentally, TOTALLY ACCIDENTALLY, heard one song of SOEN between two phone calls on my earphones. Really dont know how it came up. Now its my day and night. This is the music I was searching for all my life.
Their drummer, Martin Lopez is the former drummer from Progressive Folk Death Metal kings, Opeth. He's an absolute beast on the drums, and is one of the best modern drummers of any genre IMO. For some, it may border on "blasphemous" for some Tool fans (I'm also a HUGE Tool fan) to say no matter what some may say about Soen being a Tool rip-off/sounding too similar to Tool/APC etc, Martin Lope IMHO, is one of the few drummers out there that can even pull off the technical prowess AND raw ability to compare to Carey. I mean that as both a compliment to Lopez and that Carey is one of the best modern rock/metal drummers, especially within their "genre", whatever genre you would put them in, if you choose to label/pigeonhole them. The fact that longtime Tool fans would even admit to a "similar" style/sound, as they say, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I believe Lopez said that he actually looks at Tool as their own genre, a very admirable compliment to Tool indeed. On topic of Lopez, I was fortunate enough to have met him in person at a meet n greet at the 'Sounds of the Underground' festival outside of Philadelphia. Lopez departed Opeth because supposedly was suffering a are blood disorder, that and did not want to tour anymore to paraphrase. Other whispers were that he had a drug addiction, which IMO, is irrelevant, I've suffered addiction so I would never pass judgement even if that were the case, I'm just genuinely happy to finally see him doing what he loves and is so very good at, playing music!
If you have the chance to see them live, I can only recommend it. Truly passionate musicians that try to make their show into something special - was also great to chat with them in person afterwards.

[Chorus 1] Tidal wave Come rushing all over and Come tear down this wall of lies until nothing remains Turn away, beware don't be led astray By vultures that turn our temple to a house of trade [Verse 3] Sleeper kin A popinjay with a gaudy plumage Proclaiming lies like a gutless coward Until your senses are numb [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 1] Tidal wave Come rushing all over and Come tear down this wall of lies until nothing remains Turn away, beware don't be led astray By vultures that turn our temple to a house of trade [Bridge] And I know Yes I know That all this little things Are coming back to haunt you They'll tear you down in the end Colliding with your dreams And burning all you stand for [Instrumental] [Chorus 2] Turn away, don't be led astray From false perceptions No more lies, no more disguise No false pretenders [Outro] Stand your ground Don't wander away Don't fall apart Ask yourself, in trouble Am I my brother's keeper
''Turn away, don't be led astray From false perceptions No more lies, no more disguise No false pretenders'' Shouldn't have they said : ''Turn away, don't be led astray from TRUE perceptions" ? It doesn't make sense to tell to not turn away from lies. Because the intended message seems to be the opposite.
Martin Lopez from the late 90s to mid 2000s was the best drummer in metal on earth. Opeth was NEVER the same after he left. Especially live. Great to see him back kicking ass.
They should tour I would love to see them LIVE! I've LOVED these guys since I first-heard them..They have such a signature sound and it's a killer one lyrically and musically the riffs and beats and the blending is just phenomenal.. They are the new top prog rock in my opinion!
this song is a masterpiece ❤ for me it sounds like violet thunderbolt, so sparkling and aethereal! though Imperial's awesome, lykaia still remains my favourite soen's album 🌹
Steve DiGiorgios playing on their first album was a reason to compare them with Tool. But now their music has nothing to do with them. Maybe you can compare them with Opeth, but that's it. They have a musical personality of their own. The fact that the singer is Maynard's lookalike doesn't have anything to do with both bands' creativity.
Αδερφέ μου, ο DiGiorgio νομίζω πως με τόσες μπάντες που έχει ασχοληθεί είναι πολύ κοντά στο να θεωρηθεί sessionας, οπότε γενικά πηγαίνει σε διάφορα ενδιαφέροντα projects και λογικά είδε τους Soen σαν ένα από αυτά. Αλλά πιο πολυ υποθέτω πως έφυγε για να αφοσιωθεί στους Testament.
+Χάουτου Μπέιζικ I agree. They kinda look alike. Especially a vid I saw about Maynard's winery, could really make out his facial features then as he wasn't standing in the shadows. Soen's singer doesn't sound like Maynard. He sounds like *someone*, and for awhile I couldn't put my finger on it. . Then I realised... and pop rock haters aren't gonna like this. . His voice actually sounds more like Daughtry.
so i was thinking by this great album, perhaps most of fans people that should taken knowledge about this album, in majority will not perceive how brilliant it is ... this album is such a type dark side of the moon, every music is highly combined with another musics, every riff, every chorus, every solo exist not for by chance ... this album was builded second by second , for me a division of water to band and too for modern prog scene. Now we have genius again, making music with heart, soul and inteligence. Soen now belongs to higher-echelon of musicians that enrich the metal and prog scene ! THE BEST ALBUM OF YEAR, FUCK MAIN STREAM NOW WE HAVE A NEW SOEN, MORE INTELIGENT, MORE MATURE, MORE BRILLIANTLY PERFECT !! great album, a masterpiece has been writed !!
just discover these guys two weeks ago and I loved it since the beginning. they sound like tool?! awesome! more bands like them for us who like good music to hear! honestly, these last album is kinda different from that style but still is fantastic.
A nice chunk of badass. I love this band especially since I get Opeth damnation clean sound with a side order of heavy at times. one of the best lineups yet.
finally, everything we love in a single band!! great riffs, powerful vocals, excellent transitions and the great Martin Lopez. Long live SOEN.
mate,just discovered Soen while waiting for tool. Great band! who is Martin Lopez?
@@jeshram Ex Opeth drummer, who later formed Soen
FFF Lopez, I had no clue. No wonder the drum tracks sound so good
You don't like amazing solos?
Konačno rival Toolu
I accidentally, TOTALLY ACCIDENTALLY, heard one song of SOEN between two phone calls on my earphones. Really dont know how it came up. Now its my day and night. This is the music I was searching for all my life.
Me to
Me too man!
Early contender for album of the year. One of my favorite bands right now.
An Angel Ascending indeed, I can't stop listening its sooooo good

Fallout Wanderer 2077 lopez is amazing but don't forget gavin harrison he is brilliant too
Really..lol.. You dont think they are abad tool rip off?
I just started listening to metal because of these guys.
The bass player is the unsung hero on this whole album imo. Tasteful and groovy playing
That's always how it is.
One day we'll form a tidal wave of listeners of Soen.
ahhaha
This is probably the cringiest things I have heard in a while
This song is a hit and miss for you apparently...
If you have the chance to see them live, I can only recommend it. Truly passionate musicians that try to make their show into something special - was also great to chat with them in person afterwards.
They're coming to a small club in Lisbon, here in Portugal. It's going to be in october and I must buy a ticket fast!!
Yeah, the guitarist looks like a Viking 😅 they are very good live, true
Great song, great album, great band!
[Verse 1]
In your heart lies a devotion for starting pyres
To drown your brother within the mire
You pledged allegiance to gold
[Verse 2]
In your art, your words laid out in a vacuous manner
The mind is there but the soul is absent
With smoke and mirrors you reign
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will show
Throwing your own
Into the fire
Vengeance comes
One day we'll form a...
[Chorus 1]
Tidal wave
Come rushing all over and
Come tear down this wall of lies until nothing remains
Turn away, beware don't be led astray
By vultures that turn our temple to a house of trade
[Verse 3]
Sleeper kin
A popinjay with a gaudy plumage
Proclaiming lies like a gutless coward
Until your senses are numb
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 1]
Tidal wave
Come rushing all over and
Come tear down this wall of lies until nothing remains
Turn away, beware don't be led astray
By vultures that turn our temple to a house of trade
[Bridge]
And I know
Yes I know
That all this little things
Are coming back to haunt you
They'll tear you down in the end
Colliding with your dreams
And burning all you stand for
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2]
Turn away, don't be led astray
From false perceptions
No more lies, no more disguise
No false pretenders
[Outro]
Stand your ground
Don't wander away
Don't fall apart
Ask yourself, in trouble
Am I my brother's keeper
I'm not a biblically person but I think this story behind this says well enough to all types of religion
''Turn away, don't be led astray
From false perceptions
No more lies, no more disguise
No false pretenders''
Shouldn't have they said : ''Turn away, don't be led astray from TRUE perceptions" ?
It doesn't make sense to tell to not turn away from lies.
Because the intended message seems to be the opposite.
This band is so complete! melodic and powerful.
Since this album came out i'm listening everyday, i cannot get tired of it. Thanks indeed for this precious songs. Regards from Chile.
7.28 minutes of awesomeness for a fucking single? You have my interest...
Martin Lopez from the late 90s to mid 2000s was the best drummer in metal on earth. Opeth was NEVER the same after he left. Especially live. Great to see him back kicking ass.
youre fucking right, he was the best for sure
Sorry ? Is still one the best out there ahaha .
Meh, listen to pale communion and say me that
They should tour I would love to see them LIVE! I've LOVED these guys since I first-heard them..They have such a signature sound and it's a killer one lyrically and musically the riffs and beats and the blending is just phenomenal.. They are the new top prog rock in my opinion!
That beat in the finale is awesome!
Will buy this album!
ZX9RDan If you like it why not.
Nothing better than to see them rocking out in the studio.
There are no words, the music speaks by itself. Just listen to Soen.
this song is a masterpiece ❤ for me it sounds like violet thunderbolt, so sparkling and aethereal! though Imperial's awesome, lykaia still remains my favourite soen's album 🌹
Great song!!! Bravo!! Εξαιρετικοί! 👍👍👍
Love this band so much, they are super unique in their lyrics and tone
I'd have to say Joel is probably the best modern metal vocalist I've heard. At least for pure clean vocals. Such power and tonality.
Steve DiGiorgios playing on their first album was a reason to compare them with Tool. But now their music has nothing to do with them. Maybe you can compare them with Opeth, but that's it. They have a musical personality of their own. The fact that the singer is Maynard's lookalike doesn't have anything to do with both bands' creativity.
Χάουτου Μπέιζικ these comparison to tool are only because the first album sounded like lateralus! What they do now is way different and better
Χάουτου Μπέιζικ γιατί έφυγε;
Αδερφέ μου, ο DiGiorgio νομίζω πως με τόσες μπάντες που έχει ασχοληθεί είναι πολύ κοντά στο να θεωρηθεί sessionας, οπότε γενικά πηγαίνει σε διάφορα ενδιαφέροντα projects και λογικά είδε τους Soen σαν ένα από αυτά. Αλλά πιο πολυ υποθέτω πως έφυγε για να αφοσιωθεί στους Testament.
for me it's a perfect mix between both bands... i love all the bands... can't really see what the fuz is all about
+Χάουτου Μπέιζικ
I agree. They kinda look alike. Especially a vid I saw about Maynard's winery, could really make out his facial features then as he wasn't standing in the shadows.

couldn't understand why they are so underrated..
It is wonderful that i found this band and their great music.
5:28 THAT SNARE ROLL AND RIDE GROOVE 🙌. So reminiscent of Beneath the Mire from Ghost Reveries. Hail Martin Lopez
Excelente Banda. Martin brutal. Una maquina en la bateria.
Easily my favorite band right now. Fell in love with Lotus and now I get to go back in time and find gems like this
Martin Lopez... One of the Greatest Living Legend Drummer... one of my inspiration! Thanks Martin!

And I know

That intro riff reminded me of my own mortality. But I embraced this moment and remembered: we're eternal, all this pain is an illusion.
Indeed anton. Glad someone has someone here is awakened
*Parabola starts playing*
I love this band !!!
3:09 ......... # the moment that comes next changed my life...
amazing
Incredible band. It's as if Tool and early Opeth had a lovechild.
Is tool progressive i feel they are heavy metal but not progressive
@@sreejx They are very progressive from Aenima on
Don't forget Riverside (with Piotr Gruzinski) - same level. Same greatness
I recently heard this band for the first time. Now they are my absolute favorite band in the world.
I love this band
The great 2017 album till now.
divinely! I'll see you in London!
