New album, “Reliance”, out on January 16th!
On Reliance, the Swedish progressive metal powerhouse continue to find incredible new pathways through the vast spaces between light and dark, loud and calm, heavy and soothing. With Lars Enok Åhlund (keyboards & guitar), Cody Lee Ford (guitar), and Stefan Stenberg (bass) standing shoulder to shoulder with Ekelöf and Lopez, SOEN’s ever-expanding sonic landscape reaches new heights.
That evolution is grounded in a deep commitment to honesty. Across their seventh studio album, emotional gravity and raw power coexist without compromise, giving Reliance its unmistakable pulse.
“Lyrically and musically, we want to go through all of human emotions: beauty and anger and heavy and soft, it’s always been the goal of the band” affirms Lopez.
Produced, recorded and mixed by Alexander Backlund at Fascination Street Studios. Mastered by Tony Lindgren.
SOEN are gearing up for a packed 2026, having recently announced a 16-date headline tour across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland and also unveiled a strong run of summer festival appearances. Following their acclaimed recent tours, fans can expect an even more intense live experience as SOEN bring their trademark blend of power, precision, and emotion to stages around the world.
