SOEN geben heute bekannt, dass ihr neues, elftes Album “Reliance“ am 16. Januar 2026 erscheinen wird. Dazu streamt die schwedische progressive Band auch ihren Lyricvideo zur ersten Single, namens `Primal`.
Gründungsmitglied und Sclagzeuger Martin Lopez kommentiert die erste Auskopplung so:
“Primal’ is a song that came from a place of frustration with the world we’re living in. The corruption, the division and the suffocating grip that technology has on all of us. It’s heavy and straight to the point, built on riffs and raw energy, but it also opens up into a chorus that feels hopeful, like a reminder that light can still break through the dark.”
Live könnt ihr SOEN bei der Ultima Ratio Fest Tour sehen, die in gut einer Woche beginnt.

Lyrics:
We are confined
Within our minds
Fully deprived
On their kindness we rely
And all they have
Is what we built
With our own hands
But now we throw away the key
‘Cause no one can withstand the thriving misery
We live surrounded by our enemies
Immersed into hypocrisy
‘Cause life will break you down
And every change we make is faced with apathy
They force control by means of policy
Commanding with dishonesty
You’ll never be
You’ll never be someone else
Free the war in yourself
Leaving behind what is hollow
Into the dark
We’ll find the light
We are breaking every chain
We move along
Like everyone
Guarding our own
Mindless scrolling through our phones
They tell us what
We need to buy
To catch their eye
Only defeat will make you see
They passively divide us through technology
Turn us indifferent to atrocity
And violent pornography
Corruption and offense
They’re parasites dependent on the working class
They build their thrones on our broken backs
And feed us the remaining scraps
Leaving behind what is hollow
We are breaking every chain
They build their thrones on our broken backs
Leaving behind what is hollow
Into the dark we’ll find the light
We are breaking every chain
You’ll never be
You’ll never be someone else
Free the war in yourself
Leaving behind what is hollow
Into the dark
We’ll find the light
We are breaking every chain
You’ll never be
You’ll never be one of them
Keep your passion untamed
Show us the way and we’ll follow
Into the light far from the dark
We are breaking every chain
