7th album from 2026 by the Swedish SOEN, one of the leading bands in contemporary Progressive Metal. “Reliance” continues the evolution showcased on the band's most recent releases, embracing a more direct, heavier and accessible sound without sacrificing the emotional depth and distinctive identity that have made the group a reference within the genre.
With an impeccable production, strong melodies and the characteristic vocal performance of Joel Ekelöf, the album combines power, atmosphere and compositional sensitivity in a solid and well-balanced whole. A release that finds SOEN exploring new nuances within its sound while maintaining the balance between the intensity of modern Metal and the elegance of melodic Progressive Metal.
Recommended for fans of OPETH, RIVERSIDE, KATATONIA and LEPROUS.
