Soen - Savia (Official Music Video)

[@SweetestOne27]

"We are inspired by Tool but I consider them not only a band but a genre. Besides that, I really don’t think there’s anything to argue about, we make good music whoever it would remind you of. Some people tend to dislike rather than like and are looking for faults instead of seeing music for what it is, good or bad." -Martin Lopez

[@ginsuma1402]

SweetestOne27 I've always thought of Tool as "Shamanic Rock"

[@FalloutWanderer-uq5sh]

I met Martin Lopez when he was still with Opeth, queit but cool, nice dude. Missed him and was worried he'd never come back to music so you can imagine how stoked I was when I found Soen with Martin Lopez killing it on the drums again. One of the best drummers of all-time IMHO and Soen wearing some similarity on their sleeves, they still have their own voice, writing some amazing songs, that's what counts.

[@anzeal00]

This music is better than Tool.

[@cassioklein]

[@riccardozanasi1039]

For every One who's Mad telling this bad sounds too much like tool, cm'on guys, this should be positive, it's a nice way to have a new tool's album before 2035

[@freak1310c]

Riccardo Zanasi haha there's a local band from where I'm from, they cover tool and all their original work sound like tool. i have similar thoughts about them.

[@kreep182]

Riccardo Zanasi actually i think it sounds like a perfect combination circle more than it does tool. but its okay. theres nothing to be mad about.

Not really "tool inspired". Just prog metal with clean vocals lol.

[@matthoover111]

@@JustTheTip556 In case you can't hear the obvious influences and need the actual words of one of the founding members of the band to confirm: "We are inspired by Tool but I consider them not only a band but a genre. Besides that, I really don’t think there’s anything to argue about, we make good music whoever it would remind you of. Some people tend to dislike rather than like and are looking for faults instead of seeing music for what it is, good or bad." -Martin Lopez There's nothing wrong with that. All music carries the weight of its influences. This is quite obviously distinct from Tool, but also quite obviously influenced by them. It's great music.

[@JustTheTip556]

Matt Hoover I didn't say it wasn't great. I'm a huge tool fan and have been for years. My point is that Soen sounds enough their own. A lot of musicians get influence from different music. It doesn't mean they sound like them. Soen doesn't sound like tool to me. And maybe that's cause I've been hella into tool for many years?

[@whitechocolatte5863]

One of the most underrated bands ever I swear to god.

[@kharnsagara]

1,000% in support of how amazing and good they are, they're tattooed on me as one of my favorites

Being a big Tool and Opeth fan this album Blew me away. It is really good to See Martin Lopez Drumming again....and Steve D on bass Are you kidding!? Can't wait for a new album from these guys

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

It is like a good mix of tool and opeth. Good observation. I couldn't put my finger on the opeth flavor lol

This is literally the most perfect song ive ever heard. I dont think you could change a singular note to improve any part of the song. I genuinely believe its a masterpiece.

He has got an unique voice!

[@Keo73]

I love the ending of this song.

[@christianforbes-so3zl]

Yeah, TOOL is their own genre like Meshuggah or Dillinger Escape Plan. Soen plays TOOL and they are very very good at it. The newer stuff is different. They've found their sound by now. The song Unbreakable is badass!

[@woobiehastelly]

the way the song starts chills my bones to the core every time.

[@modestmeeshka]

So much talent. Never thought any band could compare to tool in my eyes, but these guys come dangerously close

[@ruinsof]

'Dangerously close' is the perfect way to describe it. Love this album!

[@OroborosEternalLife]

+Jill G "No one is gayer than I am, but some come dangerously close." -Maynard James Keenan Were you by any chance referencing this? lol

[@Abetterlife88]

I'm the biggest fan of Maynard and all of his projects. Tool A perfect Circle and Puscifer are all in my top ten. Does Soen have similarities to Tool? Hell yes and isn't that fucking awesome?! They are different enough to stand out, but similar enough to allow me to fall in love with this band. People stop bitching; especially if you're a fan of Tool, just kick back and enjoy this incredible music.

[@vrdzovski]

Lula Wolf thats a wise soul speaking there ppl, take notes!! Thank you :)

[@Abetterlife88]

IGoR Vrdzovski Why thank you, sir. :)

[@ruinsof]

Very well said. I'm glad I'm not the only Tool fan that feels this way. Great music

[@SinSchism]

Lula Wolf If you like Maynard's projects, there's a similar band from back in the MP3.com days called "Four" from Texas. Not easy to find their stuff, but insanely good quality. Heavier vocals, though. Their logo is unique. It's a 4 and an F overlaid on eachother to create a square.

[@Abetterlife88]

SinSchism Is any of their music on KZbin?

[@tahmidt]

Can’t believe it has been 7 years since this song/video!

[@JoseGomez-ys3zs]

It's almost 8 years.

[@1029zsz]

9yrs

[@Staticfactory]

As a long-time Tool/APC fan, I appreciate that the guys in Soen are able to draw on the style and create some pretty amazing tunes. I would rather listen to this than 99.99% of the crap we are fed in the mainstream. With that said, Soen fans will just have to get to used to the comparisons if the band is going to leverage the same vocal phrasing, time signatures, imagery, drum/tabla styles, guitar tones and Maynard-look-alike front man. Respect. It may not be unique, but it doesn't suck.

[@brunomarques8956]

I mean yeah its not THE SAME but i think no one can deny it has similarities

[@MrZZsharka]

That’s why every long time Tool fan hears Tool and APC

[@XTyrannicalX]

Well put. We live in a world of critics blinded by jealousies, and shallow complexes. Yet, you will find rare individuals whom can appreciate things for their intrinsic value; whom are not mentally blind. This my friends, is art of the highest degree. Any such individual can appreciate what Soen offers : The ultimate point being that this enjoyment does not degrade the experience one might share with Tool or any other inspiring bands.

[@Certosinij]

Line up: Steve Digiorgio from Death, who played with Masvidal and Reihnert on "Human", Lopez on the drums. I've been listening to this album for the past few weeks and I've been finding more and more nuances. This album is so tight, I really don't see how you can't appreciate that? I love Tool! That doesn't mean that they're the sole proprietor of epic riffs and amazing music :)

[@RosenblaetterPL]

He may be Maynard-look-alike in some ways, but his vocals are pretty unique... very emotional, soulful. Give this guy credit.

La verdad no los había escuchado y estaba en una tienda de discos y pensé que era otro proyecto de Maynard. SHAZAM de una y me fui a escuchar y me sorprendió que era una banda sueca con el ex batería de Opeth! Y claro es una mezcla de APC y Opeth. Y aparte las comparación, excelente instrumentación, letras y la voz si se me hace muy parecida a Maynard pero que putas... suenan bien!

[@denismulcahy3354]

Amazing stuff guys. Seen you last night in Birmingham (27/9/22) you speak to me in ways no one else has, reduced me to tears throughout the night... Thank you for your music, it has touched my soul.

[@haticesen8040]

I was also there in Birmingham, watched the show from the front row and I can't explain how I felt, I was in shock the whole time. These guys are out of this world. Also, Savia was extremely, unspeakably good and it's not even my favourite song from them. Met Joel after the show and of course he turned out to be the kindest guy on earth. I love this band so much that it scares me!!!

[@denismulcahy3354]

Hi Hatice, thanks for commenting. I completely get how you felt as it was very hard to find the words to describe all the emotions evoked. We were at the front too, just by Cody, I had a friend come over from Ireland for it! We bumped into the guys coming out of the pub just down from the venue.. Wished them well and thanked them for everything..never got to meet them after the gig though but delighted you did 😁

Martin looks so much healthier than he did when he left Opeth. Glad he's back to making music.

Really solid. Keep in mind they drew inspiration from Tool but they'll evolve on their own in the future. The similarities are pretty obvious, but it's awesome actually - there aren't too many bands even trying to imitate Tool, let alone sound similar, but still original. Keep up the good work!
