- 𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 is the third single from IMPERIAL, SOEN's fifth studio album; order 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋 here: smarturl.it/SOENIMPERIAL 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒
𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒:
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
Runaway
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 other
The choices are our own
But the failure we’ll share.
𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 is a song about the shared responsibility amongst us if we wish to improve the world, change has to be made by us, you and me...the people. We can’t just sit around and wait for those in power to help, they are preoccupied battling each other in matters of greed and power. It’s about the frustration of feeling powerless but also the hope in realising that things can be changed for the better, if we stop criticising each other and making enemies of ourselves by blindly following the ideas of politicians and their media 🖤

The provocative, imperious and engaging Swedish-based metal group SOEN will unveil their fifth album, IMPERIAL, via Silver Lining Music on January 29th 2021. Founder members Joel Ekelöf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums), along with Lars Enok Åhlund (keyboards and guitar), Oleksii “Zlatoyar” Kobel (bass) and Cody Ford (lead guitar) have never shied away from challenging our perceptions of life and humanity, and IMPERIAL continues SOEN’s unique journey through the psyche of our species and the conundrum of our times. Eight crisp, sharp, and supremely constructed songs spanning frustration, reflection and hope, IMPERIAL is the most direct fierce? and dynamic release of SOEN’s journey, one which continues to be deeply therapeutic for both the group’s dedicated followers and the band themselves.
Produced by Iñaki Marconi and the band, IMPERIAL was mixed and mastered by Kane Churko, who has worked with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Bob Dylan, giving songs such as ‘Illusion’, ‘Modesty’ and the epic closer ‘Fortune’ a dimension and richness which will reach yet more ears and minds. The sheer power and poetry of SOEN’s dynamics are more completely executed and honed than ever before, something which is perversely a product of the COVID-19 pandemic.
IMPERIAL is an album which will engage the listener immediately and sustain long after this crazy time has passed, its rich details destined to make it a classic metal album of this era.
IMPERIAL Track Listing:
1. Lumerian
2. Deceiver

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
... ♪ 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 ♪...
So relevant to these times!!
This song reminds us why progressive metal is the best kind of metal
Absolutely!
It is the best genre at all lol. The best use of all instruments you can have. But Soen have something more to it… the classical prog in a new shape, easy to the ears of everyone and not only the musicians, lyricis that hit hard … guitar solos that are just perfect , nothing more, nothing less. Impressive how good they are.
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.
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
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!
This is one of these songs I think EVERYONE in the world should listen to every day
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.
@@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.
So much love from Iran 🇮🇷
This song makes me cry
Your work is remarkable , out of patience for your new album ❤️
😍
We love them for sure👌👌
pesaaarrrrrr tarafdar irani peyda kardam belakhareeeee. eshqiid hamatun

If you wanted to make me cry, mission accomplished
Man up !!!
@@stevefarr5765 ok
Join the club! This is a very very beautiful song!
Yes!! Me too
@@stevefarr5765 Your thought pattern is the reason there is hate and suffering in this world.
soen healed my soul, they truly have a special place in my life
You just said what I couldn't express in words ❤ much love to everyone here
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.
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? 🤘✌🐸
Quien mas de habla hispana está disfrutando de esta rolita?... Bandota Soen!!!

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!
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 🇮🇷
Dadash chera kasa sher migi😂
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.
I'm feeling like soen's guitarists are getting much better every song.specially this one's solo
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!!!!!
Just discovered this band today. Lucky day.
Congrats. I was wondering what had happened to Martin. Dude is a monster.
The most beautiful song I've listened to 🖤
Guys we adore you in Iran, how we are connected to your songs in our situation in Iran
LOVELY solo in this tune!!!
Hey, it's fuckin' Uncle Ben 🥰
What's fucking uncle ben?
@@mashrafishafin9860 He's a youtube guitarist, He made the comment that I replied to, his fans call him Uncle Ben.
@@mashrafishafin9860 which guitarist is in your pfp?
@@papaisduniyakapapa i was just joking lmao i know uncle ben. And the guy you're talking about is the bassist from Tool. Justin Chancellor
Favorite song of 2021 🖤
I can't stop blaiming myself about how I did not listen to it week ago
Oh my goodness, never thought that a music video could give me these emotions I'm feeling right now.
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
It sounds like River + Lotus. Loved it!
Just say it sounds like SOEN
@@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.😊🤘🏻
That is one tasty guitar solo! Man I freaking love this band.
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.
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
Thank you so much for dedicating this amazing song to #Mahsa_Amini and the women of Iran!! ♥️🙏🏼
Colombia will always wait for you, guys. 🇨🇴👊🤘
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 ;)
Great song and very melodic! It is nice to see this kind of beautiful music still exists in 2024! Thank you!
This is art. Music for musicians.
Thank you guys for this remarkable song ❤️
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
christ's sake, guys you deserve more than you achieve, that is a masterpiece for sure...
soen is the most beautiful band in the universe!
As an Italian, I'm so proud that this astounding videoclip to a new masterpiece tune by Soen has the "Made in Italy" stamp!
Cheering from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
Soen is a mixed bag of rock/metal. I hear influences coming from everywhere in ALL their music. 🤘✌🐸
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
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!
Piękny utwór.... 👍🥃 Soen The Best.... Pozdrowienia z Polski i ZAPRASZAMY!!!!
SOEN obrigado por existirem. Vocês são diferenciados, desejo tudo bom a vocês, obrigado. 🙏🏼🤘🏽🇧🇷🔥

Thank you we are blind
So much love from Iran. We love you double after you supported #woman_life_freedom.
The guitar solo makes me cry !!!! exellent music !
Great guitar solo
from Colombia.....with innocent blood in the ways and streets!!!
Let’s heal our world for the future generations
Much love from Egypt. This album will be one of the best.
i lacked grief today, lets listen to this song and cry!
So good to listen this masterpiece album. One track after another we have classics. Thank you so much Soen! Cheers from Brazil.
Just can't stop listening to these guys, what a great band 🤘🏽🇸🇪🤘🏽. Much love and admiration from Brazil 🇧🇷.
Gorgeous video to go with such a great song. I can see the new album is coming along great. Love from Turkey 🇹🇷
This song is stunning, like the whole album. I'll buy it.
Amazing sound! So rare in our days!
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!
Álbum do ano?
Tô c o.ingresso ... remarcado três vezes... agora só ano que vem
Os caras são demais mesmo, sou fã
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!
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.
Loved it! Can't wait to listen to the new album 😍
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 💪🔥🤘
Great song really beautiful ❤
Greetings from Ukraine!
You guys has been the greatest discovery for me since last year.
Thank you for your music!
Same here mate 👍
Дякуємо 💚
@@ZlatoyarBass Будь ласка :)
Absolutely beautiful song.....fell in love with this band after listening to lotus and martyr.....🤟🤟
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.❤️
Jak zwykle pięknie... Unosi się nad tym ten Floydowski vibe...
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.
One of the best songs of Soen probably. Thanks guys, good job. Greetings from Chile
Que pedazo de banda, son geniales. Finísimos, pura clase. Un placer escucharlos.
Thank you for the journey to the magical world of feelings....True ART....wish you all HEALTH and DREAMS....
Soen, with your music, you bring good to this wounded world. My sincere wishes that all this good come back to you.
Thank you for just "Being". For your music. Looking forward to see you again ❤❤
Here we are loving this song
Can't stop listening 😍🙃
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.
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
There is nothing like Soen. This is a masterpiece!
The band that everyone should know about! Great albums, great songs!!
Que rola, 😢 de la emociónes que trasmite.
Bravo Soen, sublime and curative sound, I really like ´d , it´s the best part of the trip,.SOEN the great band you are., Congratulations from Portugal.
Excelente, felicitaciones una gran carga sentimental, el solo de guitarra esta fenomenal mucha fuerza....🙏

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.
