I respectfully disagree. The best kind of music, metal or otherwise, for an individual is the one they enjoy the most at the time. It just so happens that I lean towards progressive/doom sound the most now, it wasn't the case a few years ago, however, when my friend from HS (we're in our early 30ies so were past mid 20ies back then) used to send me links to various prog stuff, I could appreciate the music but it wasn't something I'd willingly listen in my free time, you know. I do not mean to argue but claiming "X is the best genre" or even "X metal is the best kind of metal" does sound like asking for a pretty pointless argument.
My country is torn apart by civil war. You see, it's sad when brothers kill each other. This song is for my country. And yes boys do cry sometimes. Thank you Soen.
@@applegateapplegate6964 Thanks. I thought of mentioning my country when I wrote my comment but decided not. Honestly, I felt ashamed because what about other countries that suffer ongoing civil wars. I'm from Libya but I also feel that I am from Yemen, Syria, Ethiopia, Sudan, and many many more wounded countries.
This song honestly brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of my family and I standing around my grandma's hospital bed watching as she slowly took her final breaths and drifted into the next world. A lot of family blamed themselves for her passing. Saying they could have done more, They should have spent more time with her. But life is short and thats why every moment is so important. When its time to go. Its time and nothing is going to be able to change that. We are born. We grow old. We die.

@@BigBrain_Genius dude! River and Lotus are Soen, songs from the last album. I've been a fan for a long time and this is a god send, normally it's they sound like Tool, Opeth or Floyd, I know them as just Soen! So this IS a big step up.😊🤘🏻
I hear Rock music from 1994.. I am 37 years old. This song is one of the best I have heard ever. Lyrics.. Music.. Everything perfect. Masterpiece. One the best songs of all time regardless of music genre. Greetings from Athens, Greece SOEN!!!!!
How does this song only have 700K views??? I have seen SOEN live and I was baffled by their talent, it's a shame they are not more successful, they deserve it
This Album is a Masterpiece, I didn't think the album Lotus could be outdone, well I'm so happy to report, this takes Soen to even higher heights. I LOVE THIS!! Bravo guys, you are Superstars, I cannot wait to see this live on the road, eagerly awaiting normalcy to see you on the road, visit USA, we can't wait for your arrival
@@ChristofColle Routine, Drive Home, and The Raven That Didn't Sing (or something like that). Put those three on in a row, and get a couple boxes of tissues ;)
Im always into the softer side of Soen. Very tasty, smooth Pink Floyd-ish solos, and soothing vocals! Hopefully I'll hear more of the band's heavier/complex side as well!
Listening to the soft Soen songs (specially with headphones) is magical. I highly appreciate their songs that manage to make a transition from soft to harder stuff, it feels like I get sent to another dimension!
@@DHATURA_93 they have a very unique style, but I'd be lying if I said they don't like to wear their influences on their sleeve. Especially on the first albums. At this point their sound is much more mature and refined, though, much more their own
Amazing song! The paragraph starting with "The man in charge" and the paragraph after that is just too realistic that it actually hurts. We yearn for good music, good world and good future!
Com todo respeito mas sou completamente apaixonada pelo vocalista Joel Ekelof, sua voz é cheia de sentimentos é de uma beleza infinita é de longe uma das vozes mais belas do metal ❤
Every time I listen to this masterpiece, it never fails to make me cry and question the situation of the world. This song points out a big and sad part of the world. Keep the amazing songs coming Soen. Greetings from Turkey!
Hauntingly beautiful and when the father was gone I almost cried...there are so many daughters and sons without family out there in our world - because of everything that Soen described in Monarch. I LOVE the political theme in the upcoming album. Its important and its relevant.
I'm pretty sure this song just broke my heart and I'm totally fine with it. The video is so powerful and works really well with it, too. This song is gonna be stuck in my head for a long time. Please, keep doing what you love.
I randomly came across this band when seeing their show at wacken, end even though I didn't like them 2 years ago I now have to admit how great this music is Keep up the good work 💪🔥🤘
Wow, just wow, I have just heard the album and...it is amazing. It is an incredible album, the three songs released so far aren't even the strongest on the album as much as how great they are. The last Three songs are fantastic imho, Modesty , Dissident and Fortune....amazing. This is definitely going to top the 2021 album lists...well if there's any justice in the world.
Lotus was my absolute favorite, and then this came out!! THIS!! Absolutely beautiful!! I heard this song more than a 100 times since it came out. Got it on repeat all day.
I just have to say, that horin hero dawn is 100 years after this video. If anyone have played the game will unsderstand Im sure . What a song, What a message What feel ... Thank u some, se in 2nd Dec here in Lisboa, Portugal . I'll show u my support ❤️
Soen has special place in my heart, , the guitar makes me cry. I re play the song again and again. I believe that someone in my country -Sri Lanka would translate this song into Sinhala language.❤️
Oh man, this video really touched me. I truly think this album is the best I've heard since the last year. Nothing more to say, I just hope these guys could keep making more music forever. Greetings from Chile.
Sorry but this is by far no music for musicians....Apart from the composition, musicianship & technique (which are average); f.i. Jazz(rock), Fusion are much more music for musicians. The beauty of this song is ofc very personal
Here we are Blaming failure on the other Here we are awaiting to depart Do we care just enough to aid our brother? Do we care enough to cease the harm?

May possibly be my favorite SOEN track, the version on Atlantis is sublime with strings. The guitar solo epic, and the voice just incredible.
This song reminds us why progressive metal is the best kind of metal
Absolutely!

This song sounds more like a rock ballad from the 90's
How is this progressive metal?the whole s song literally in 4/4
Correct
This is going to be one of the top albums of 2021.
I feel it's gonna be a tie for me cause ne Obliviscaris is also coming out with an album.
Absolutely. Soooooo excited
Definitely
Don’t know if it will top Wheel’s new stuff. Just my opinion.
With new Evergrey!
My country is torn apart by civil war. You see, it's sad when brothers kill each other. This song is for my country. And yes boys do cry sometimes. Thank you Soen.
what is your country. im sorry for you
Syria in our hearts bro
The same can be said for our county America, divided by ignorant orange leaders and the ignorant sheep that follow their lies.
Solidarity from Turkey.

It's indescribable the way this song makes me feel. Such a powerful, beautiful song that should open the eyes & hearts of anyone who hears it.
Just discovered this band today. Lucky day.

I'm feeling like soen's guitarists are getting much better every song.specially this one's solo
It sounds like River + Lotus. Loved it!
Just say it sounds like SOEN

Oh my goodness, never thought that a music video could give me these emotions I'm feeling right now.
Guys we adore you in Iran, how we are connected to your songs in our situation in Iran
This pure brilliance. It’s like if River and Lotus had a Pink Floyd baby 🤘❤️🎶
Hahaha.... the truth✌😍
Yes!!! Its true !!
3rd listen, I’m sold.
Think same
The band is just fantastic
That is really what I think
Oh by the way, which one's pink? 🤘✌🐸
How does this song only have 700K views??? I have seen SOEN live and I was baffled by their talent, it's a shame they are not more successful, they deserve it
I myself love such styles. It's great that the singer's hands don't hurt along with all those who helped to make this song♥️🔥 and I'm Iranian 🇮🇷

Soen is the most underrated band of all time
I disagree. The most underrated band of all time is Savatage.
imo the most underrated band ever is Shadow Gallery
thanks for mentioning shadow gallery, i'm listening to crystalline dream on repeat
I can't stop blaiming myself about how I did not listen to it week ago
I Never cried on a movie or Music video but I could not Resist on this one :(
Steven Wilson's "Routine" did that to me.
Soen-Last Light
Spiritbox's "Constance" did that to me.
@@ChristofColle Routine, Drive Home, and The Raven That Didn't Sing (or something like that). Put those three on in a row, and get a couple boxes of tissues ;)
Soen a cada álbum se superando, que música incrível...
E nós brasileiros temos que conviver com os funks, sertanejos e cias fazendo sucesso. Lamentável e triste o contexto cultural do país.
Conheci a banda essa semana e estou simplesmente incrédulo. QUE BANDA!
Tô c o.ingresso ... remarcado três vezes... agora só ano que vem
Os caras são demais mesmo, sou fã
christ's sake, guys you deserve more than you achieve, that is a masterpiece for sure...
As an Italian, I'm so proud that this astounding videoclip to a new masterpiece tune by Soen has the "Made in Italy" stamp!
Colombia will always wait for you, guys. 🇨🇴👊🤘
Im always into the softer side of Soen. Very tasty, smooth Pink Floyd-ish solos, and soothing vocals! Hopefully I'll hear more of the band's heavier/complex side as well!
Listening to the soft Soen songs (specially with headphones) is magical. I highly appreciate their songs that manage to make a transition from soft to harder stuff, it feels like I get sent to another dimension!
Try Katatonia too.
Nickelback
I see people comparing them to pink floyd....but i believe they are one of their kind....🤟🤟
@@DHATURA_93 they have a very unique style, but I'd be lying if I said they don't like to wear their influences on their sleeve. Especially on the first albums. At this point their sound is much more mature and refined, though, much more their own

That is one tasty guitar solo! Man I freaking love this band.
Com todo respeito mas sou completamente apaixonada pelo vocalista Joel Ekelof, sua voz é cheia de sentimentos é de uma beleza infinita é de longe uma das vozes mais belas do metal ❤
So good to listen this masterpiece album. One track after another we have classics. Thank you so much Soen! Cheers from Brazil.
from Colombia.....with innocent blood in the ways and streets!!!
Every time I listen to this masterpiece, it never fails to make me cry and question the situation of the world. This song points out a big and sad part of the world. Keep the amazing songs coming Soen. Greetings from Turkey!
Thank you so much for dedicating this amazing song to #Mahsa_Amini and the women of Iran!! ♥️🙏🏼
soen is the most beautiful band in the universe!
Great guitar solo
Piękny utwór.... 👍🥃 Soen The Best.... Pozdrowienia z Polski i ZAPRASZAMY!!!!

Love you Soen!

Keep up the good work 💪🔥🤘
Soen is a mixed bag of rock/metal. I hear influences coming from everywhere in ALL their music. 🤘✌🐸
Wow, just wow, I have just heard the album and...it is amazing.
It is an incredible album, the three songs released so far aren't even the strongest on the album as much as how great they are. The last Three songs are fantastic imho, Modesty , Dissident and Fortune....amazing. This is definitely going to top the 2021 album lists...well if there's any justice in the world.
Modesty, Illusion and Lumerian are the best on this album i think. Also are some of my fave soen tracks now!
Marvelous! And they say rock is dead. With Soen around, rock is surely far from dying! Keep up the amazing work. Can't wait for the full album.
Essa música é linda e ao final do vídeo fui às lágrimas...
There is nothing like Soen. This is a masterpiece!
I discovered Soen's genius through their song 'Lucidity' and hooked from thereon. This one is out of this world. Keep it up guys!
شاهکار... فقط شاهکار خلق میکنید عالیه
Amazing sound! So rare in our days!
SOEN obrigado por existirem. Vocês são diferenciados, desejo tudo bom a vocês, obrigado. 🙏🏼🤘🏽🇧🇷🔥
Imperial is my album of the year for 2021. I can sit there, close my eyes, and just let the music take me on a journey. Just incredible music.
i lacked grief today, lets listen to this song and cry!
He dedicated this song to Mahsa Amini. So much respect, Joel ❤ woman, life, freedom
Amazing song. I think this band should be have much more followers... Imperial album is one of the best album which I have listened last 2 years.
Just can't stop listening to these guys, what a great band 🤘🏽🇸🇪🤘🏽. Much love and admiration from Brazil 🇧🇷.
Que pedazo de banda, son geniales. Finísimos, pura clase. Un placer escucharlos.
So fucking refreshing! I was like is there anything worth attention to in 2021 in this genre of music. And at last, I find these guys!
this album is total masterpiece in any context in history it's just astronomically mind blowing
Lotus was my absolute favorite, and then this came out!! THIS!! Absolutely beautiful!!

Here we are
Blaming failure on the other
Here we are awaiting to depart
Do we care just enough to aid our brother?
Do we care enough to cease the harm?
With every step we take, we get further away
From everything we need to reach harmony
For all of us who won't linger on to pretend
And everyone who follows their dreams
Run away
From the weights that keep you cornered
Find a way to take back what is yours
You and I
We're depending on each other
While divided, we won't hear the call
Where do I heal when the river runs dry?
How do I sweeten the bitter?
A word decides our fate
And our silence condemns
Would you give us what is left of your time?
Give yourself up for the others?
The choices are our own
But the failure we'll share
The man in charge is announcing
He'll be the one who saves the earth and feeds the poor
And when that promise is broken
The next in line with the same lies will claim the throne
For every step he takes, we get further away
From finding what we need to reach unity
With every word he says, he condemns who we are
Depriving us from reaching our dreams
Where do I heal when the river runs dry?
How do I sweeten the bitter?
A word decides our fate
And our silence condemns
Would you give us what is left of your time?
Give yourself up for the others?
The choices are our own
But the failure we'll share
The band that everyone should know about! Great albums, great songs!!
Love this song , so much, great video. Fantastic Soen ❤️🔝
Absolutely beautiful song.....fell in love with this band after listening to lotus and martyr.....🤟🤟
