SOEN unveil their powerful new single “Mercenary”, the second track taken from their upcoming studio album “Reliance”, set for release on January 16 via Silver Lining Music.
With “Reliance”, their seventh studio album, Swedish progressive metal visionaries Soen — led by vocalist Joel Ekelöf and drummer Martin Lopez — continue to explore the fascinating space between light and darkness, power and calm, heaviness and serenity.
Honesty lies at the heart of this record, where emotional weight and raw strength coexist without compromise. This duality defines Soen’s sound — their fearless drive to confront darkness not for spectacle, but in search of truth. Nowhere is this balance more evident than in “Mercenary”, a track that carries the burden of inherited violence and the personal toll of conviction with unflinching clarity.
