Joel Ekelöf – Vocals and Martin Lopez Drums From Soen Speak About Their New Album Memorial

Soen will release their newest musical masterpiece Memorial, on September 1st via Silver Lining Music.

Memorial is the band's first concept album heavily influenced by issues plaguing the world, particularly the war in Ukraine. They incorporate incredible storytelling with shades of "light in the dark" into their lush power metal songs. The band continues to be inspired by their musical past while keeping a keen eye on the future with songs that range from the haunting ballet of "Hollowed," the pure metal of "Sincere," and "Icon," with its progressive, almost operatic moments.

The band, Cody Ford [Lead Guitar], Oleksii "Zlatoyar" Kobel [Bass], Joel Ekelöf [Vocals], Lars Enok Åhlund [Keyboards and Guitar], and Martin Lopez [Drums] will embark on a tour of Europe this September and October. Tickets are available here: https://soenmusic.com/tourdates/
