SOEN - Sectarian

[@morteza_malak]

I honestly don't get the Tool comparisons anymore. I think these guys have their own sound now and its fucking amazing. Awesome track, looking forward to the new album.

[@briangriffin2829]

m m agreed!

[@mfC0RD]

I kinda have to agree when people compare Cognitive to Tool. But, at least for me, they turned their sound into something of their own in Tellurian. Can't wait to listen to Lykaia!

[@dooderscoot2900]

...but don't all these bands sound like tool? .....so sick of hearing that....open your fucking ears

[@osaabd390]

the comparison works fully with the first album cognitive. still, i don't mind that at all. I really believe that Tool has their own unique style, which makes them a style by themselves. I love Tool and I love Soen. fuck comparisons, I am enjoying the music. they have those riffs where they sound like opeth, but again, I don't fuckin care. they are amazing musicians, except for the singer.

[@FluffyFractalshard]

definately! I'm starting to think that tool sounds a bit like Soen :D No seriously, I like Soen better because their albums are pleasant and amazing from stat to finish and tool has so much noise and stuff I dont want to listen to..

[@davidteixeira2172]

Best Metal Progressive band right now! Awsome! Every album is a masterpiece and this gives me the feeling that this will be another one! cheers from Portugal

[@Brennbare]

I so agree with you!! They're actually challenging Tool by my opinion.

[@davidteixeira2172]

I don't understand why they don't have they same or MORE recognition than Tool .... Tool is one of my favorite bands as well by the way xD but Soen is giving more to the fans right now than Tool ...

[@Brennbare]

That's kind of the power of Tool. Long silence and out of nowhere release a masterpiece. Soen just delivers masterpiece after masterpiece. (Hopefully they don't run out of gas too soon)

[@franciscomoura6259]

Easy mano. Tool are from America and they build a great cult over the years. Soen are from Sweden and it's not that easy get the word around. They both rock our asses off, and it's more easy to meet in person Soen, than Tool fellas.

[@davidteixeira2172]

Francisco Moura yeah ... When I saw soen i could be with them

[@kingganondorf5024]

All their songs are catchy and unforgettable, no matter what album you are listening to

[@osaabd390]

I can't stop listening to that amazing riff at 03:59

[@joshuajones8843]

Yeah, call it a Tool clone, whatever. That's not going to do either band justice, nor the people who will dismiss them because of it. Tool and Opeth are two of my favourite bands, period, with over a decade listening to both. Personally, I feel they sound more like Opeth than Tool, both sounds are prevalent. However, with Martin being from Opeth prior to this, I have a distinct urge to pay more attention to the drumming. Mad respect for these guys. Glad to see Martin doing much better, and Joel changing up his sound a bit more. I just discovered these guys a few weeks ago and immediately purchased the first two albums. Today, I preordered this one.

[@briangriffin2829]

Joshua Jones Oh...you will be loving them for sure ...Fraccions is "heavier" IMO

[@josuedavidvalenciabastidas1109]

Not even to think how many bands have tried to sound like tool without success. When I heard first time Rishloo, one reason why people liked them was because tool's influence.

[@phallusdei1488]

I rly don't get that hype behind Tool, yep, they're progressive, odd time signatures and stuff, but It feels like they lack melodies, vocal or instumental, they don't have anything catchy in most of their songs. On the other hand you have Opeth for example, Mikael puts at least one catchy moment in every song he makes, he creates very good melodies, so if you give me a listen on any of Opeth's song i can call what song it is. Maybe I'm just stupid or not so proggy, but I think Tool's a bit boring and self-repetitive. But this band sounds more like Opeth, Katatonia and Tool clone, but not only Tool clone for sure.

[@jeandista]

Great song by a great new band. I saw them live in Wroclaw few days ago and was really impressed.

[@TheTorri98]

That riff at 3:54

[@InfectiveSymphony]

TheTorri98 dude that riff indeed 🤘🏼❤️

[@osaabd390]

that riff is incredible

[@chino717171]

That part is like taking a walk again in the Blackwater park after all these years. The headbangin cannot lie, that's amazin !

[@jonnypeters779]

Definitely reminds me of something off Opeth's Deliverance Album

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

Serenity Painted Death with a BWP touch, I would say.

[@TheOmegaeyes]

Love this! I've really been missing out. I heard Martin Lopez was playing in another band several years ago and I totally forgot about it. As much as I love Axe, Lopez was the Opeth drummer that inspired me to start playing again.

[@JavierBT90]

3:54 The Ghost Reveries is strong with this one. Amazing riff!

[@vikingdemonpr]

CKN brought me here. Never heard of this band. Glad I found it. The music is heavy but chill at the same time. I could relax with this

[@myewgul]

The kind of music i wish Opeth was doing today... Just awesome

[@FerSz]

myewgul you don't have to expect anything from Opeth, everything you need is here with soen

[@beytankurtulus3532]

this is already a song which I presume strongly inspired by Opeth tbh. So you can think of Opeth is still working behind the curtains. Drums is also ex Opeth: Martin Lopez iirc

[@weirddreams_fe]

Opeth already did something similar. They evolved to something more.

[@1972Diogenes]

This is just awesome. First song i ever hear of this band (mostly into classical music) this is soooo good. Like Tool and Opeth working together and some Pink Floydguys nodding approvingly from over their shoulder. What an amazing surprise.

My Album OF The Year thus FAR!! I don't see/hear anything being better. But it's still early.

[@mikeepatrick1]

Yeah, heavy Opeth here, but I wasn't done with Opeth sounding like this, so all the better. Lopez is amazing, as always - love his playing.

[@philliplomax6839]

Cognitive was great, Tellurian was some next level shit, cant wait for the new album.. See ya on 3rd Feb Guys!! #ONIT

[@kattenbosse2344]

Sounds a little "Black Water Parky" and I like it!

[@nateomr]

Got recommended by a Rishloo group to check these guys out. Fantastic. Good stuff by Soen.

[@Goshoonkeys]

You guys might enjoy Karnivool. Trust me, they're great. Absolutely tremendous. Wow

[@Lateralusaint.]

best band in the universe mate ;)

[@jackattack7940]

IT'S SOOOOO GOOOOOD TO SEEEEEE, THIS WORRRRLD IS ALIIIIIIIIVE

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

If Tellurian was a sort of bridge from Tool sound to Opeth, this is the band almost crossing it. I think it makes more sense for them to sound closer to Opeth, given Lopez is also involved on the songwriting here.

[@Ak0tnik]

Yep, just what I thought. This album, at the first listen, sounds like a darker Opeth (when Mikael went full clean).

[@codybeinert1109]

Martin Lopez is an amazing drummer :)

[@MrTrinitrotoluen]

Thanks for your music!

[@YOUSSEF9587]

they are inspired by many bands just like any other band, and i do think they built their own identity , gj soen

[@abrorkhakimov1656]

OH MY GOD! I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR IT FOR 3 YEARS! FANTASTICAL MUSIC AND GROUP! #lovesoen

[@SickOfLife88]

Really Amzing. I'm so awaiting the release of the CD. Already bought concert tickets and this teaser song match my expectations.

[@WIZPromotionz]

Next month I will see them live for the first time!!! So excited!

[@villerissanen993]

That riff around 4:00 sounds like straight from Still Life (by Opeth). Which is definetely not a bad place to be :)

[@diegosepulveda4669]

prisma - my sleeping karma - soen - all making beatiful music in the fantastic tool style

[@yessicaisgone]

New fan of Soen right here! 👍 Really loved Cognitive, now it's time to enjoy the new stuff.

[@aysegulkoyuncu3675]

AWESOME

[@claudioparfumfacts]

SOEN have now their own sound. This is probably the best album of the band.

[@VivekHari123]

love the video & track..

[@williammorassato6124]

Won't wait! Liked before hearing!

[@davidcorneau8503]

I enjoy what they do and they keeps getting better! I was a massive lopez fan when he played with opeth

[@biplavhelllord]

long live prog metal.

[@MrEnsiferum77]

this is pop.

Hm. Interesting arguement here.

[@missac.9968]

Amazing music! and great lyrics.

[@mrdlore1]

Love it! Great vocal melodies too!

[@osaabd390]

can't wait to see them in Switzerland in April

[@Opranius]

This song is such a perfect mix of blackwater park'still life opeth and some kind of tool (no i didnt mention this band :) ) i totally enjoy the exopeth drummers flair who relly shows us in this song how opeth could have sound with more progmetal in it today. The bridge with the heavy riff reminds me of opeth' serenity painted death' breakdown and i even hear the lead guitar of heir apparent in the mellow part right before. Great song and album, this band shows progress!.

[@Netravick]

Finally! Reminds me of "Still Life". Super excited!!

[@dojojoe2861]

finally I've been waiting!!

[@christianmercury7964]

Ya quiero este disco

[@dooderscoot2900]

Fuck yeah starting off new year with new Soen...fantastic

[@andrasgearbox]

AWESOME!

[@Brennbare]

So i tried to get the lyrics by myself. Hope i did it right. Help, reviews and corrections are welcome. [couplet]Eradicate all life The ones i touch the earth will swallow I bless them with demise This burning feels, my goals will hollow Run away and leave it all, run away and leave it all Leave the trail for a moment Change the course for a while And give in to the present Conceding a severed utopia Let me rest in your cradle Suffocate by your hands Be embraced by you, (atone?) Immoral, perverted (trial?) [Chorus] Let the skies rain, on the weak and the fallen Let them reach faith and be saved by your glory Tonight the waves will end, signs left to (drain?) A new return of hope, freedom of the pain. [couplet] Keep me close to the marrow, part my skin from the bone Any thoughts of rebellion, are captured and hooked up to a chain When my spirit is broken, and my will disconnects A mirage of existence, will carry this loss into the mist [Chorus] Let the skies rain, on the weak and the fallen Let them reach faith and be saved by your glory Tonight the waves will end, signs left to drain A new return of hope, freedom of the pain. Hollow, shadow, cut my out of this shame Faithless, tiran, let the fear be my faith

[@Brennbare]

That sounds actually much better then what i understood. I changed it. :)

[@metal666shark]

cool,cheers

[@AndresAcheron]

frenk prinsse I hear "signs left a trace"

[@conexakias]

"will carry this loss (i hear "life") into the mist"

[@how2pingu]

Soen shared the lyrics on their Facebook page a few weeks ago. Here they are: Eradicate all life The ones I touch the earth will swallow I bless them with demise This burning field my ghost will hallow Run away and leave it all Run away and leave it all Leave the trail for a moment Change the course for a while And give in to the presence Conceding a severed utopia Let me rest in your cradle Suffocate by your hand Be embraced by the rotten Immoral...perverted...vile Let the skies rain On the weak and the fallen Let them reach faith And be saved by your glory Tonight the wait will end signs left a trace And you'll return unharmed Free of all the pain Keep me close to the marrow Part my skin from the bone Any thoughts of rebellion Are captured and hooked up to a chain When my spirit is broken And my will disconnects A mirage of existence Will carry this life into the next Let the skies rain On the weak and the fallen Let them reach faith And be saved by your glory Tonight the wait will end signs left a trace And you'll return unharmed Free of all the pain Hollow, shadow guide me out of the shame Faceless, tyrant let the fear be my fate

[@jorgegoncalvesroque8087]

[@TheSm1thers]

I don't think they can be called a copy of Tool now. I don't even think it's fair to say they initially copied Tool. Yes they were originally inspired by Tool to some degree, as they were also inspired by other bands, but that's not the same as copying. I think Soen really came into their own with Tellurian, and Lykaia is just amazing. I honestly think that with Lykaia they have surpassed Tool. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.

[@sergiusz4945]

Super!

[@corysolis3414]

eradicate the life, the ones i touched. The earth would swallow I bless the winds demise this burning fills, my goals will hollow ×2run away and leave it all .leave your trail for a moment change the course for a while and give to the presence of conceiving a seventh utopia let me rest in your crater suffocates by your hand be embraced by new action? no more ? Permanent lie let the skies rain on the weak and the fallen let them resist and be saved by your glory tonight the waves will end, signs ? left our drain and you return free of all the pain keep me close to the marrow part my skin from the bone any thoughts of rebellion are captured and hooked up to our chain when my spear is broken and my will disconnects? any ?rush of existence will carry this life into the next follow? ? guide me out of the city? ? phases ?tyrants? ×2?let the fear be my faith? ?

[@lukalomidze2157]

[@boyistinky]

3:55 totally reminds me of Serenity Painted Death XD I see Martin is still living those Opeth days. Great job guys, keep up the mixture of Tool and Opeth that makes me stick around!

[@garruksson]

amazing

[@rayne1897]

I came to see if anyone else heard Tool and Opeth. Glad I’m not the only one. Love the mix! Edit: why is everyone mad? Everyone has influences...

[@mattclark9288]

Found my new favourite band

[@miasma6666]

[@TheI3lackPredator]

Damn those are some tasty riffs, especially the one around 4:00

[@AnwayPramanik]

TIGHT!

[@TooLJunkie501]

in my honest opinion i catch more of a Katatonia/Opeth feel

[@canesantrac4509]

TJ Smith This song has Opeth vibes, thats for sure!

[@icebear1650]

in the drums I hear a lot of tool as well though

[@ClarkStar866]

having opeths old drummer will do that :)

[@pivnuk]

amazing as I expected! will it be available on google play music?

[@гарико-д6я]

SUPER

[@fidrewe99]

I don't get why people complain. Their songwriting is very distinct, clearly different from Opeth's and Tool's. There are loads of bands out there sounding like a random [insert genre] band. Complain about them.

[@brandonklapholz3433]

[@katatonikos6000]

come to greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yourrealdad9442]

I really have a strong feeling that Soen's gonna be the next Tool, and I don't mean that as in sound. I mean, they do have certain elements of their sound that are similar to Tool, but I meant the next Tool as in they have a very unique sound, and from what I've heard, haven't released a single bad album. Here's to hoping my prediction will come true!

[@nanafrankart5431]

[@briangriffin2829]

Draydince lmfao! yes....it was him. had to be

[@willkellock8702]

Why do some of these riffs sounds like Blackwater Park era Opeth?? Either way, phenomenal track. Excited for things to come.

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

Probably because Lopez writes the songs here and knows too well how Opeth's tracks are written as well.

[@Alexis-wh2fk]

To much Blackwater Park and Lateralus incluences, i love it.

[@Narcoticos666]

udyr no tiene un lovo plizzzzz vasta con dárselas de muscos porfaaa

[@lordiblees]

The song could easily be a part of Blackwater Park at 3:54. Not complaining in the least.

[@theopinson3851]

Loving the sound of Lopez's kit on this album. His playing has been awesome but the drums have sounded too compressed/fake up until this point (started with Ghost Reveries...horrible sounding!). It's nice to hear him going for more of an organic sound, it fits his style better.

[@mickeyakerfeels7298]

My god, this is good.

this is very interesting..... the vocalist is now more similar to mike than maynard in this song. LOL. this band is so interesting in some point. i love it.

[@stormyascent6982]

This is a new song? Sounds exactly like some of the older songs. However, I don't care as long as it sounds great and this definitely sounds great.

[@FluffyFractalshard]

yeah, many of Soen songs sound kind of similar/familiar but interestingly It doesnt bother me either.. I love the mood they create! so hyped for the new album!

[@heavymetalfan247]

Can someone please make tabs for this song? I want to learn it but learning by ear isn't my strong point.
