This kung-fu film was taken by an avant-gardé film called "Meditation on violence" by Maya Deren, one of the most important experimental movie maker of the 40's. There is a point that the movement starts to roll backward but its not very well perceived. I usually do not like heavy metal influence groups, but this one is pretty interesting.
(Meshuggah - Bleed) + (Tool - The Pot) = (Soen - Oscillations) Verse time signature is like The Pot's time signature. The hertas on the kick are like Bleed. 10/10 song, would nag my friends to listen to it
Martin Lopez knew when to "leave" Opeth :) Now Akerfeldt writes shitty "70s prog rock wannabie songs" and Soen are becoming one of the best bands currently
nah. captain progemoustache went 70s because he burned his signature grunt. Lopez left because of actual health shit. we agree on the outcome but might aswell keep the story clear :)
Diego Sheish I agree, i like Opeth still. All these 'heavymetalgurus' need to understand that not every band stays the same forever (Slayer, Maiden, Metallica and many many others.) Being a musician is like being a person. You won't stay the same forever. Michael just wanted to experiment and go in a different direction. He can still growl like a demon and his voice is still awesome. Sometimes i'm a little sad too Opeth doesn't really make heavy stuff anymore, but what i got in return is a very nice progrock band that are doing a damn fine job at it. Where one door shuts, another opens. This means bands like Soen can get out of Opeth's shadow and pick up where they left off. It's a nice circle. Just like when TOOL decided to not make anything new for a thousand years, a lot of new bands picked up where they left off and now we have some great names out there. See the bright side of it all.
Amazistrings it has changed quite a bit. it's actually better these days, but after bloodstock / albert hall, there's a plunge. sorry, there just is. well, in all fairness the correct word is "was". what comes to the topic of change, i want to make one thing _very_ clear. i don't care about change. i may disagree the road the band is heading towards, but it's not about change itself. for reference, almost all bands i worship (ulver, katatonia and the likes) have gone through massive changes. at the end of the day, they took the right road onwards because they are better now. then there's Opeth. to see where i'm coming from, listen their latest and then listen Damnation back to back. now, i don't want them to make a copy of damnation. nope. but coming from damnation, i just find full 70´s proge pastiche too obvious. they have potential for so much more.
Don't be daft. Opeth still makes awesome music. Bands progress, change lanes...if you're not up to that, just stop listening. That being said, this is fucking good aswell. It's clearly influenced by Tool, but it rocks all the same!
There are also techniques from Hung Gar Kung Fu. At 4:00 the Kung Chi Fok Fu Kuen (Gung Ji Fuk Fu Kuen) - "Taming the Tiger Along the Character 'I' " form starts.
Peter Yordanov Tool's one of my favorite bands, I didn't mean that Soen's Tool influence is negative, but that they're still good even if they're not that original.
Ben Kuettel Couldn't agree more.. But i'm still in the shock to find this band, and knowing that Martin Lopez got out of Opeth to.... this! -.- (yes they're good, but there's a BUT...)
In my opinion,NOTHING will ever get even remotely close to Tool,it's one of the most unique bands ever made (in my opinion),I'm not degrading the bands that are influenced by them,I'm just saying.There are other bands (including this one) that have been influenced by Tool that are really good such as Rishloo and Prisma.
why does everybody stop comparing comparing comparing comparing just listen to the band and find something unique can't people just be different instead of all being the same just because you bleed and you're going to die eventually doesn't mean that you have to copy the next man
lol yeah. i'm a HUHE Opeth fan and even i was let down by Sorceress. It was fine when they came out with heritage and with pale communion i was like okay that's fine. Now with sorceress i was like okay, this is starting to get annoying. where's the opeth that we all knew and loved? i hope they come back someday. until then, we got new Soen. =)
@@ArturoGarcia007 Lopez left the band before sorceress. He wasn't the drummer on watershed either, his last album was either deliverance or ghost reveries. Watershed was an awesome album even without Lopez. Yes I realise this is a 5 year old comment but I'm going back listening to old soen videos and scanning comments.
To me this song towers sky high over anything Tool has ever released. By miles. This is beautiful, Tool just does not speak to me at all. And I am a nerd and mathematician by profession.
He's certainly not great but I think you are being deceived by the music along with it and because of that it appears like his rhythm is further off then it would be without it. This isn't the official music video for this song.
This band is trying wayyy too hard to sound like Tool. I can't respect that. ORIGINALITY WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE!! You are even stealing Maynard's lyrics. Fucking Sad.
Except for the fact that every musician in this band is on par with any tool musician. Possible exception with the singer. Martin Lopez was opeths drummer for years throughout their best albums and is a machine on the kit. Steve di giorgio is the bassist on this album and is one of the most talented metal bassists alive. Tool isn't just a band, it's a genre of its own. There is nothing wrong with having a similar sound. There's thousands and thousands of bands out there. Every single band borrows from another. If you know deadsoul tribe, the singers band from psychotic waltz, they also have a tool sounding influence.
I was thinking of Tool's Jambi at the beginning, I find listening to Soen as equaly amazing.
Soen and Tool fuckin kick arse
Everything, it's so quiet here
Seasons last, more than thousand years
Suddenly my vision is clear
Consciousness into clarity
[Verse 1]
I can hear echoes from the sea
Overwhelmed by tranquility
Radiance unfolds gradually
Every wound now begins to heal
[Chorus 1]
Take on my burden
Shake of my head
Chained by what I understand
Won't let me grow
[Verse 2]
New found sight
Opens up for each
Step into similarity
Void is all coming into reach
Mistakable familiarity
[Chorus 1]
Take on my burden
Shake of my head
Chained by what I understand
Won't let me grow
[Chorus 2]
Lay down my burden
Take all my years away
Release me within emptiness
And make me whole
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
There is a desire, there s a need of finding faith
I decide by painting it all in gray
Inner transformation turns a weakness into a strength
Through the times the spirit will remain
Tethered by restrictions of the way to be aware
All is gone the hindrance will fade away
Fundamentals separate transcending into where
Time that flows is neither night nor day
[Outro]
Every piece that we retrieve from covering our eyes
Dawns on us we cannot leave with everything inside
Every piece that we retrieve from covering our eyes
Dawns on us we cannot leave with everything inside
I will reach my hand and try to open up the sky
On my part, the reason why is stated in a lie
I will reach my hand and try to open up the sky
On my part, the reason why is stated in a lie
Whoever put this video on top of this song deserves some kind of credit and a big cup of good beer!

Thanks. I'm definitely going to check it out! :D
This background footage is hilariously good.
I love the fact you've put this vid and this song together. It suits in an odd yet fantastic way!
The Vocal of Soen said that Soen as a band thinks exacticly that Tool should be a music genre
(Meshuggah - Bleed) + (Tool - The Pot) = (Soen - Oscillations)
Verse time signature is like The Pot's time signature. The hertas on the kick are like Bleed. 10/10 song, would nag my friends to listen to it

I like Opeth right now, and Mikael can growl fine (saw him during their heritage tour).

The beginning reminds me of Meshuggah's Bleed....🤔
God this is an earorgasm!! I'm in love !!
a fantastic song from a fantastic band
so beautiful
Nice video, amazing song!
Listening to this while cooked is mind blowing
One of favorite songs
3:21 to 3:57
Niil niii, greetings for the song and the beautiful Maya Deren's image..Soen definitivelly matches with avantgard art of all times....!!
However, like Tool or not; I am addicted to some of their songs.
There are also techniques from Hung Gar Kung Fu. At 4:00 the Kung Chi Fok Fu Kuen (Gung Ji Fuk Fu Kuen) - "Taming the Tiger Along the Character 'I' " form starts.
The video looks like candidate for Guile theme goes with everything...
I see tai chi. He does T steps and what looks like rolling hands
Karnivool and Temple of Thieves can be added to that list!
LOVE Temple of Thieves!!!
Yes they're very influenced by tool but they're still good
What do you mean by 'BUT they are still good' ? :)
Peter Yordanov Tool's one of my favorite bands, I didn't mean that Soen's Tool influence is negative, but that they're still good even if they're not that original.

There's nothing wrong with finding out where the band finds inspiration. Connections will be made man dude just chill and enjoy...
Aly Bly Allie you're really beautiful and I would love to meet you and possibly have a cup of coffee. do you play any instruments ?I play the drums.
Qi Gong Metal... Great !!
perfect
i love all these Tool jokes
go Martin.Still the most razor sharp knife in the line up.Your better off with out opeth..believe that.
lol yeah. i'm a HUHE Opeth fan and even i was let down by Sorceress. It was fine when they came out with heritage and with pale communion i was like okay that's fine.

waaaa qi gong waaaa soen waaaa
Smebody know wich dicipline is the one that the guy is practcing in the video ¿?
Soen: a perfect golden copy of Tool. Cognitive: Best Tool album not made by Tool
wtf u talkin bout???? Tool has written all their shit except covers.
Amanda Endsley it´s a metaphor, my dear
Fake,
I don't think so, Soen's instruments sounds more aggressive to me
To me this song towers sky high over anything Tool has ever released. By miles. This is beautiful, Tool just does not speak to me at all. And I am a nerd and mathematician by profession.
If you can smoke weed to it, it's probably pretty damn good music, be it Tool or Soen.
Give me the same thing that the guy on the video had.
Years of meditation and training in Kung-fu?
Trainning in Tai-Chi-Chuan
Tai chi and Qigong bro.
Jambi
thanks :D
hahahaha, thinking the same thing....
This guy dances like Axel Rose
At least, they have shown us that some humanbeings can produce a Tool album.
but still is awesome jejejeje XD
Karnivool
softer voice than maynard. i like that
Soen is really different than tool though. It's difficult to compare the two
Apparently it means "Son" in Danish... Son of Tool maybe.
Still think it was Tool's new album
kinda corny sounding. but i like it.
not even close
Sounds kinda like a watered down Karnivool
You can't beat Asymmetry era Karnivool. That's impossible to ask.
sounds like tool? sounds like Soen to me.
If Bleed was made by Tool
What the fuck !
tai chi?
looks like my ex lmao
any martial artist? is he actually doing something? He seems to have a terrible posture and a bad flow and rhythm for doing some stuff
Wudang Quan (or Wutang) - Old school and much more meaningful than much of the McDojo garbage we find here in the US.

@@khanofkhans6546 If Maynard played the flute really well, I might almost agree. Devon Graves > Tool (minus the drummer who is a certified god)
