Soen (Martyrs) Kel-n-Rich's First Reaction (HEY BEN AND HEATHER!!!)

[@tarmotyyri6733]

So glad that you like Soen. Yes, many say that they sound like Tool, which is even more so with their previous albums, but their 2019 album "Lotus" ,in which "Martyrs" is one track, is a giant step towards them developing their own sound.

[@dansmacabre8511]

Amen to that! :)

[@amjan]

They have always had their sound.

[@jaimin9777]

imperial is incredible..saw them 3 weeks ago in Amsterdam and they sounded massive...

Soen - Lucidity (2017) Very Relaxing and Amazing! Very much Recommend.

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Yes! Great slow song. #Soen Lucidity

[@giants9833]

#Soen - River, The Words. 2 beautiful songs from a band that in a month has moved into my top 10 bands of all time. I'm 54 and and I grew up listening to a lot of the same bands Rich listened to. There is something about Soen that moves me in almost every song I hear from them.

[@benkbray]

WHAT???!!! FOR MOI?????!!!! Great song and I am so humbled to Have it dedicated to me....us! ❤️ I am digitally giving you both hugs and kisses. You guys are epic. Much love from the Heather n Ben clan. 🤘

[@niklasekelof7319]

Very high praise from you two! I will try to remember to show this to my bro!

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

You bet....Is he older or younger @Niklas Ekelof? Rich

[@niklasekelof7319]

@@Kel.N.RichReactions Oh, well, older, but it all pans out after a while doesn't it?

[@LukCPL]

Soen - Pluton, just amazing piece of music :)

[@alejandrodavidforner9848]

I've never seen such a beautiful and emotional reaction. I felt so in tune with Kel, as to how she was within the song...I could see in other how Soen make me feel, it's so Deep and profound. You're both beautiful 🙏

[@mikkosak]

Thanks for the reaction! First time I listened this my reaction was the same as yours,; tears just came... "For what we have is all we need" how you can say it better...!? If I remember it right I have also requested this. Thanks! That groovy vibe comes from drums and if you listen the beat again, it really carries this song all the way. Martin Lopez, the drummer played also in Opeth... #soen Opal 🇫🇮

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

NEXT IS OPAL...FIRST FOR US BOTH....#cantWaitForMoreSoen. Rich

[@mikkosak]

Yes! It's been great to see in these two months, how similar my music taste is comparing to you. 👍 Wishes from 🇫🇮

[@ivankolarov9089]

...o, yeah!!! Believe me, they have 4 albums and every song is just perfect!

[@frankalfar]

Those chord changes in the keys plus the vocals on top was 🔥.

[@alakerranlasse]

Absolutely love the reaction when the music gets inside of you, Kel! I think we pretty much share the feeling, it's just something beyond what can be described with words.

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Soen's guitarist on their 3rd album, Marcus Jidell...he has a band with his wife as singer, called Avatarium. Avatarium are doom-ish metal, and Leif Edling from Candlemass is also involved. #Avatarium Moonhorse

[@unknown_nobody6199]

Yeah, Avatarium is a great band.

[@j.t.8848]

This was an amazing reaction video. Probably my favorite one I've seen. I hope you two are well. I really do.

[@gerardomelodeath1588]

Joel’s voice on this track is just amazing!! What a great musical atmosphere they have created in this masterpiece!!

[@Djcimofficial]

Just discovered this band on Spotify and I’ve been playing them non stop!! They know how to take you on a journey.. great video!! 🤘🏻

[@NiklasMX]

SOEN is even a greater live band, you should attend a concert one day. Live they are even better! This band has such a powerful and deep energy, amazing! This music is made for people who are sensible enough to understand the message and the feelings of these songs. Beautiful!

[@DonHaka]

@ the myth of the holy sword. Im from Piteå in Sweden. The song reminds me of the lord of the rings, in fact all of rhapsodys songs do, and it is one of my favorite movie franchises. But this one in particular just makes me think of all the fun times ive had with my friends playing fantasy games and watching The lord of the rings and stuff.

[@klowe498]

#KATATONIA, Day And Then The Shade, Sweden. Your channel got me in to Soen. Great band! Hopefully some people can discover Katatonia after this request. They have a lot of great songs, this is just an example.

[@Zombiezero4]

Also Listen to - Soen - The Words (2014) Official Video.

[@Bryan-T]

I'm a new fan of this band. Been listening to their 4 albums on loop for a week now. The first album is weaker than the other 3 but it's still good. They don't really have a bad song.

[@victoriansteam1562]

That's so interesting I love the first album XD the only one I don't like as much is Imperial but there are also good songs on this album

[@LoneWolf-zv8pm]

Honestly the first album is my 2nd favorite behind Lykaia

[@TheFundead]

Wow.... I totally know where youre coming from, i had a few years in my past where i was just in an emotionless vacuum is the best way to describe it.... Felt nothing and everything was just like a this horrible shade of grey, is another way to describe it.... Thank you for relating with me, that was awesome and i dont feel so alone for feeling like that...

[@rockonileva]

This was the first song i listened from Lotus.. and, as Lykaia is one of my favorite albums, there was a mix of feelings.. but this band never disappointed... martyr is a great song, the music video is great, and the rest of the album is awesome... Tool vibes!? Listen to Fraccions, from their first album.. it's there.. and see, years later how they developed their own sound is great!! About Joel, I fell in love with his voice!!! Amazing singer!!

[@rudolfbecker4313]

I send hugs from Germany, really liked your emotional reaction. A wise man once said, that Music can impress you, or Music touches your Soul. the best Music is the one, which does both, so does Soen. You will be envious, when I tell you that I saw them twice in small Clubs in Cologne, the first time I stood Right in front of Marcus Jidell, I could have played his guitar as close as I was. The second time I stood Right in front of Joel Ekelöf, what a fantastic singer, and it made him human, being nervous as if he was on stage for the very first time; I like when Artists seem to be sensitive and do not act like they got the biggest balls, sorry …. like many american "rock stars" do, sorry twice :-) (sorry also for the misspelling, must be my german Computer)

[@rhinni]

#Soen - Lucidity !!! Soen is thé proof amazing music is still being created, dang!

[@lonjordan3019]

That was excellent. I found this group only about a month ago and i really enjoy their music. Some of there songs get me emotional also. I agree with Rich, i enjoy this so much more being able to understand the lyrics and hear the music at the same time. I know this is 3 years old but still a good reaction thank you both.. I would like to recommend Tina Guo and the song Moonheatrs in Space. Her chello playing is outstanding.

[@masacron]

I felt and reacted same as you with this amazing track, tears of emotion in my eyes. I know Soen from his beginning, but this album is a masterpiece in every aspect. Try react to a Brazilian band called Angra (I think you did it) but a track called "Nothing to Say"

[@dianamartin7180]

Never feel alone Kel, your judgment is phenomenal! Xxx

[@keenan7796]

Soen: tabula rasa, the words, paragon, pluton... Thanks 😊

[@mrdeathamore]

damn right, Pluton and The Words, so different but so good

[@neilshannon4359]

love this band. try "Lucidity" official video for their mellow side.

[@Goldie1977]

This is my album of the year and will take some beating... Soen are such an emotional investment as a band. When music touches your soul you feel it with your core. To appreciate this band fully please make time to react to Lucidity/the words/Savia. These songs cover their catalogue and I think you’ll love them. Also King’s X - Goldilox- I would love to see a reaction to this. Keep em keeping kids 😉🤘

[@Alyson.Iansen]

They already listened to Savia, you can find it on their channel. I also love Lucidity too, it's a song that makes you stop to listen when played.

[@Goldie1977]

I think I’ve lost the plot! I even watched and commented on it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 too many reaction videos 😂. More reactions please. Soen - the words/lucidity next please

[@mormacil]

We missed you too! Welcome back and some great songs to come back with! As for Kel's mention of having emotions come and go. I can't fully relate, I've been depressed but I never stopped feeling. However I got a similar experience with being in love. With my first big relationship that woman was my world. As I've later put it, I wasn't just in love with her, I was in love with her mind. Just listen to her talk made me happy. That relationship ended because I guess the feeling wasn't entirely mutual. We were probably to young, I for sure wasn't mature enough. And for about seven or so years that was it. I've fallen in loved, loved women but it never truly stuck. I ascribed it to a loss of novelty I guess? That was till I met a woman about a year ago. I fell so hard and so completely. Sadly she was an utterly toxic person. I gave her far to many chances but in the end she had to go. But she taught me there's a hidden depth to love. A depth I haven't forgotten, I just hadn't found another person to unlock it with yet. Maybe it will be another seven years till that happens, maybe I'll never meet someone like it. But I know what's out there and what I'll look for.

[@Christofferborn86]

Okay! Listened to this group and song by Soen for the first time on your channel, and thanks a lot for that! I think it was about a month ago? My impression was: - Hmm, I like this, it intrigues me on a deeper level. Listened to it some more and surprisingly added it to my " Power WorkOut-list on Spotify! Didn't gravel me into the lyrics at the time, but today I had a talk to an old friend that I haven't spoken to in some time. For some reason, my memory leaped back to your/mine impression of your imprinted impression of this song, and I recommended it to him as a perfect song to dig out and find your true self! So thank you for sharing your mind and soul // Cheers from Sweden

[@antimatter7683]

#Soen Lascivious, Germany. LOVE the Lotus album. The lyrics are serene, his voice is sublime. As commented before they still sound a bit like Tool but less so in the Lotus album in which they have come to define their own sound a bit more

[@pete248]

Yes Lascivious ist the best song besides Martyrs. Also greetings from Germany.

[@dianamartin7180]

Hi Kel, omg your perception of music is absolutely excellent! I recognise in you an individual who recognises every beat, tempo, rhythm and feeling ( in depth) of the music. This group is absolutely superb and needs a focused and totally analytical stance, a professional (which you totally are) I watch your reaction and you are like me totally affected by this track, I feel vulnerable, I am in awe. God Joel’s voice is ethereal xxx

Still does...NEO PROG MUSICAL MASTERPIECE ! The Pups Luv it... Maybe Kel n Rich Too! Please React to this one.... Love You Guys...L.J.

SOEN had a bigger Tool vibe in their first album. But now they have their own personality. Obviously they also have an Opeth vibe, since the drummer was the Opeth drummer. But SOEN are GREAT

Please do 'to bid you farewell' by opeth, if you love emotion

[@platonicdescartes]

You really should just listen to the whole Lotus album. It only came out a few months ago and I've listened to it almost 100 times. Lascivious was my other recommendation, along with Martyrs, after you did Lotus. So hopefully you will do Lascivious some time soon.

The way they react to Soen, they will react to POS. Daniels voice as freaking amazing. Maybe they should start with their latest greatest song, The Passing Light If Day. It will blow their minds. When I saw them live last time tears came when playing that song.

[@Capitaomac1]

#Darkwater Alive (Pt. II) Chattanooga TN USA kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3W8pZ5siL6egJo Absolutely LOVE this band and this song. Extremely important for us to bring to the light the dark topic of suicide, with suicide rates hitting all-time highs and with no signs of it slowing down. Alive (Pt.II) gets my vote for song of the year. And the band's new album "Human" will surely be in consideration for 2019 album of the year. You will absolutely love this song as well Kel and Rich!! Peace. P.S. If you cannot react to the video (which is highly recommended-break out the tissue cuz it's a bit of a tear jerker! And what amazing production by the video crew) then here is the link to the non-video version of the song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epbYdZmphZ2AftU

[@zenleto]

I bought this album last week and listened the hell out of it for that first day. I think this song is great and also the weakest one on the album compared to all the others. Wonderful album.

[@mrdeathamore]

Covenant is my favorite, music that plays during the first and second couplet is amazing, whole song is damn good

[@zenleto]

Leonid Isachenko that’s one of my favourites on the album as well. Opponent, Lascivious and Lotus are my others but I don’t think any song on the album are duds.

[@the.basaurio]

[@natashaweikath1487]

Good morning, hope you are both well and having a lovely day. #Helloween Sole Survivor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYbVhXtujbaLkKs from Hamburg, Germany but living and working in London, England. This high tempo highly emotional song hides a dark secret which has only really come to light and been talked and treated with regards to how Military and people caught up in horrific acts/war or acts of mindless violence try to deal and process what they have or are going through. I myself have not been affected, but when you listen to those brave Military Personnel, Police who stand in harms way to protect and give us our way of life, when you here about their struggles about how they try to deal with their pain and suffering it is heartbreaking and they need and deserve help in dealing with the struggles they are going through. I suppose like many things in life, when I was younger I didn't realise or understand the complete meaning of this song, however like the saying goes "never judge a book by its cover", I think here never judge a song solely on it's music, because for me the music shows the chaos, fear, confusion going around in this person's head, whilst all he is trying to do is express and tell of his pain and suffering but either he can't or is unable to do so, or because nobody is listening. The Song itself is just a brilliant song, however the lyrics for me over time and with more experience and understanding have changed my perspective of what the song means. Have a lovely day and thanks for your channel.
