Soen - Covenant (Official Video)

The official video for Covenant, taken by SOEN's fourth studio Album "Lotus", released on Feb 1st 2019. Available here: hyperurl.co/Soe...
"Fear to walk down the aisle, feel the beat as you lead me on.
From the sky to the mire, shame and pride are the seed of harm.
Stand aside from the shadows, set your sight on the vein of life.
Taste the blood of denial, blow the candle with rotten breath.
I am waiting to face the hunter, to feast on my
Flesh, torn asunder.
The sinner will die,
Parading down through the misty light.
He becomes the night,
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground.
Away from the sun, in holy halls within walls,
Where the light won't reach down.
You give your seed to the frail.
Seek advice from the elder, falling down on your knees repent.
Be the crow and the angel, be my curse to the end of time.
Freedom lies in your own desires,
Freedom lives in your will.
Nothing’s left as we’re reaching higher,
Lust is thicker than sin.
The sacred leaves on the trees of hope,
Malice poisons our souls.
A Wicked halo deprived of love,
Slithering to the cross
The sinner will die,
Parading down through the misty light.
He becomes the night,
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground.
Away from the sun, in holy halls within walls,
Where the light won't reach down.
You give your seed to the frail."

Thumbs up to the actor that played the role of the priest. It takes guts to perform such a role...

[@theglobetrevor5212]

They never show anything explicit, but you really get creepy vibes without having to show it. That is subtle nuance you don't normally get from a music video. The priest kinda makes you want to throw up in your mouth a little right?

[@Goldie1977]

Album of the year. Thanks guys

[@kelpbeds]

100%

[@littledittymusic]

Indeed!

[@danielwade1978]

Adam Goldsmith - Absolutely 🙌

[@johnxipo77]

100%!!!!

[@lupusunleashed]

Oh yes, definetely! :)

[@Vakan]

It's FASCINATING the way they've managed to deliver such a strong message here without being explicit, just using subtle elements and covering it putting religion as background. There's a double meaning here. After all, Lotus is about seeking, about transformation, but also about resilience. That was powerful.

[@duduneitorsepsiboi8467]

I apologize for my ignorance, but can someone tell me the double meaning of this song?

[@nataliejoyce4713]

00

[@Whoamidontknow17707]

Umm yeah…meaning the priest is a fucking pervert

[@jacobsss5827]

Where subtle? Where hidden? xd

[@SideQuestStories]

What double meaning? It seemed pretty one track to me.

[@oscardelcastillo2275]

Those 98 dislikes, really doesn't know about good music..

[@autumnstar84]

Soen, champions for the vulnerable and oppressed. Great music and better human beings.

[@Matthewbyrd86]

Exactly - this is something that separates Soen from other great metal acts - they're openly compassionate and embrace the world about them and its ills instead of making insular Cthulu-based "concept" albums (not that there's anything wrong with that).

[@gipek]

this is my favorite song from the album. Im really happy there is an official video for this song because it means you are gonna play it at Istanbul Concert. Also I never imagined this song to be visualized like this. Wow.

[@aj-nx8hm]

wish i was able to come Istanbul

[@gipek]

@@aj-nx8hm buy your tix now it wont be expensive:)

[@gipek]

Concert is on next September

[@aj-nx8hm]

[@arfournier]

Massive album. One of the best, if not the best album released in 2019.

[@danielwade1978]

Alain Fournier - Absolutely, my friend 🙌👍

[@tylerjacobson8012]

What a Wonderful song. One of the first ones where the tool and opeth influence doesn’t kick you in the face. I’m liking the direction here. Fantastic riffs and interesting song writing. Lopez if you read any of these comments, your drumming is absolutely still fucking phenomenal and really stands out here. Don’t give up on this band. You guys have something special going on here. I’m sure mikael is incredibly proud that you’re doing work of this quality after departing from opeth.

[@Karmameleon]

word.

[@eltonsantana2019]

Lascivious needs a music video! A killer song!

[@guihlefela]

River também

[@irctroyona3724]

All of them, men

[@Karonthe_metal]

Lascivous y ésta son mis favoritas, aunque amo todo el disco.

[@ОлегАгеев-э8ъ]

fantastic bass line.

[@Karonthe_metal]

This album saved my life. Ive dreamed about being in a Soen concert for years

[@JKang-uu5vr]

The chorus of this song is just so mesmerising. I can't stop repeating it in spotify. It gives me goosebumps every single time!

[@1SecondToLight]

Got goosebumps from the second part of the chorus, literally their best song in the discography.

[@TacticalVillain]

This and Martyrs

[@robertgla3640]

I saw them live in Berlin last week, they there awesome... so powerful and beautiful at the same time. And Covenant was the opening track. But Martyrs on stage... just pure perfection.

[@I_raragorri]

Just found this group a week ago, and I must admit your music is fantstic, with this song being my favourite. Thank you!

[@GBcommander]

Best song on the album. That chorus is just too good.

[@rogeliorojas9121]

Potencia al máximo, tuve el placer de verlos en Chile este año y son notables. Full power, I had the pleasure of seeing them in Chile this year and they are remarkable. A piena potenza, ho avuto il piacere di vederli in Cile quest'anno e sono notevoli. Larga Vida a SOEN 🤘🤘🤘

[@johnneiberger]

The mix on this song is absolutely insane. One of the best mixed songs I've heard in a while.

[@onurozsoy7557]

best song in the album, opening song for the concerts

[@midwinterwinds]

My fav album by far this year. There have been some other big releases but nothing that has topped this one. Pure awesomeness.

[@ximenasantamaria6913]

Puedo escuchar esta canción N cantidades de veces y siempre me da escalofrío

[@hamidtube1]

Truly, incredible song ...😍😍😍😍 Thanks everyone of Soen 🙏💚💙💛

[@TheMrsMisterious]

You guys are so good on your live. Was the best live I went in 2019. You are so perfect and so close to the audience. Keep up that humble attitude. We love prog and you gave us a new sound. Thanks!! Come to Greece soon!!!

[@amirshabani494]

I love the Chorus of this song, especially the *Parading down through the misty light* line. Underrated supergroup!

[@brave3363]

When I' m listening the first and basic riff, I can' t stop my tears..........

[@diyarhasani9118]

Same....

[@diyarhasani9118]

We probably should be friends

[@opumaa_]

This band makes me feel alive 🤘🏻❤️

[@jacjunior7562]

My favorite band!

[@mandyferreira4228]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I am passionate about the way the message was addressed, at an intense level of depth but at the same time understandable and personal so that each interpretation is unique. I realized that the video was recorded in Uruguay, it increases my anxiety for a tour in Latin America, pleeeaaaseee come to Brazil ♥

[@rhapsodyxp]

como vc percebeu que foi gravado no Uruguai '-'???

[@minitoys40]

subliminal 3:39 ---------- great song, one of my favorite songs from the album and great video clip

[@NiklasMX]

Best song on the album. Great video with a very strong message. Damn, this band is getting better and better! For me Album of the year so far. See you live soon with Wheel!

[@diamniko]

The best track of the album. Amazing video.
