Soen - Delenda

[@SuperSarkast]

I cant understand the critics. in my opinion they created immortal hits. I'm glad they exist.

[@angelashriver1914]

To be fair professional critics love this band unless you're just talking about the morons calling them a Tool rip off

[@XTyrannicalX]

Lopez opens up dynamics in songs that no other drummer can touch. He is a special drummer and any band with him behind them feels it. It's good to hear you again my friend. You are a special talent. Opeth, Amon, Soen... I don't mind; as long as your behind the kit. Cheers.

Yes, but Stefan is also amazing.

Steve never seems to stick around very long---well, except for his current gig with Testament.

@@ethan_6strings186 I don't think Steve is considered a "Session" musician in the purest sense---he's been in Sadus forever, and he's been in Testament for years now.

[@steveonator67]

Yeah they were Inspired by tool, but tool was inspired by King Crimson. Music doesn't come out of nowhere.

[@_m00n_strider_]

+Steven Nunn Agreed. I also believe that people who know, love and enjoy music -in all diverse genres- dont go around accusing musicians 'stealing' entire genres. Enjoy the music people, be inspired to create , do good and be kind (but take no shit ;) )

[@aldini3994]

musicians got basis to make their music. And in this case is obviously a fucking copy cat because they use the same metrics and sincope with silences that made tool original. also the bass performance with leading and funk style. Its more more obvios when the singer sing th same way of voice line. non talented bands can lie to the audience but not to other muscicians . Its awful and sad to people steal others talent an make money with ignorant fans

[@adlerdefender8067]

Aldo Vázquez Hurtado dude by your logic Haken is copying Dream Theater... or all death metal has been copied from cannibal corpse... I love tool and I love this guy's not because they sound like tool but for their own merit.. tabula rasa is a masterpiece.. just don't call fans ignorant..

[@GangeloffMD]

Joel's vocals remind me more of MJK's work with A Perfect Circle than with Tool... and there is an overall APC feeling around this song. Great work, great band. And, God, DiDiorgio is AMAZING.

[@rhysaxl]

Can't describe how beautiful this is. :*

[@nordinearaba5727]

Love the bass sound on the mix, Steve Di thanks for existing

[@PsyenceFiction1]

Just hearing this band because of Martin Lopez, to be honest. This guy will fade without being recognized in music as he should. I mean, of course he will remembered for his work in Opeth, but i feel its not enough. Guy got mad skills, a lot of groove. After opeth he just disappeared.

[@Stillbornone]

Admittedly, I am an Opeth fan of 20+ years and Soen only 1 year because I never searched them out and they probably have gone a bit under the radar. But damn, looking at the albums that Lopez had a direct hand in - it's literally the best/classic Opeth years and then everything with Soen, who I gotta say I'm loving more and more as they're a unique blend two of my all time metal favourites... Tool and the great Swedish masters Opeth. Thank you Mr Lopez for your contribution to music. I now realise you didn't disappear, you were just waiting to be found again.

[@DaviDuarteRocha]

DiGiorgio playing is almost sick!!! Damn

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

Some people really need to listen to more bands besides Tool. This song sounds more like Leprous and Tesseract

[@diegosepulveda4669]

RipleyE2092 and prisma

[@maynordj]

RipleyE2092 Man I want to thank you so much for introducing me to leprous. I never would have heard of them if I hadn't come across your comments. I just listened to the price and immediately send it to my brother in Norway we are huge music lovers and musicians and always looking for a new sound

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

Maynardj NP! More people need to listen to Leprous. Their first album (Tall Poppy Syndrome) has a tiny hint of progressive death metal , but still retain the impressive blends of prog metal, prog rock and avant-garde metal, which made them Leprous in the first place. My personal favourite album from them is Bilateral.

[@maynordj]

RipleyE2092 I cant stop listening to their live shows. Awesome find. Very greatful.

[@soraiaconstantino6965]

[@Motherofdarkness80]

I been looking for something like this, I am obsesses with Tool and have been listening to them for over 10 years,I always look for music kind of like them and I have not been able to find any expect for this. so this will help me kind of listen to something different for a while....

[@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, if it's good music and you like it, that's all that matters.

So much musicianship from steve and martin! Sounds like they play together for two decades! They individualy did more or so but never on thesame band

[@Scar626]

See that's exactly it. Why is he so good to me? The way he plays like in the Disasterpiece song, the way he brings out the guitar and almost shape the vocals at some stages too. Most people go for either fast or creative. I feel get a balance. Plus we're going a little of topic now. This is a video the most creative drummer I know, so lets cycle back to Lopez? :P

[@Scar626]

I just checked about 1 min into 2 clips of him for Grog and Scent of Death and got to say, I like what I see. Great technique, speed sounds fast, would like to hear the power on it live though. Not much creativity in the songs so far, but have to listen to more songs to judge fair. I'll probably come back later to you in the week and let you know what I think if that realy matters, haha.

yea ur right the cours part reminds me of beneath the mire..hehe but yeahh this is just so cool!!

[@hellhammerdavilazeno6392]

[@XTyrannicalX]

Those are two distinctly separate questions, and so I will go about answering them individually. Firstly, do metal bands write their own lyrics? Yes. Certainly some band might have a lyricist, (such as was the case king crimson on their debut) or may derive his lyrics from source material , but to be brief, most metal bands compose their own lyrics.Now for the latter question: Do they write their own music? Yes. Unequivocally. Clear enough?

[@PSMITHjl]

AHHHHGH! you are playing on my birthday in London!!!! ...but sadly I'm in California T___T

[@Scar626]

Excellent cymbal work which is a point for creativity (9). He's not really one for double bass per such, but he is no stranger to going from full-leg to ankle-motion in a matter of seconds, so a manner of double bass technique from what I saw, although not much hand technique. Sure he uses double strokes to get off quick tremolo-type beats, but that's no major cry for technical drumming (4). Gearge Kollias took the Swivel-Techique to a whole new level, which IS infact a technique

[@blppt]

The funny thing is, in the decade since you wrote that comment, Lopez' Soen playing has been far more dependent on double bass patterns. Also, Oscillation on this same album is very, very double bass heavy.

[@XTyrannicalX]

You speak of mental states. Yet in a sense all musicians create synthetic states of mind in which the narrative- or inspiration flows forth from an espousal of their creativity. What you see, or rather- hear- here is a connection with the tool mindset. From that point they emerge with their own individual muse's to create they're proper soudscape which would define Soen as a band, and I might add one far different from tool.

Find a balance.

[@TheSunMoon]

Have always loved Lopez's drumming. The band's good too. Is this prog-rock/metal? I'm not too familiar with Tool to see the reference =P

[@MetalheadPedro]

It's a Prog-Metal that follows Tool's philosophy of righting proggy stuff, but never favoring the technicanship over the emotion, unlike many bands in the genre do.
