Soen - Monarch (Official Video)

New Album, Imperial: smarturl.it/SOENIMPERIAL 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒
𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒:
When the eyes of war
Set their sight on the dissident land
When the meek turn clamorous
And the sheep are the lions
As the curtain falls
And devotion is measured in blood
Hear the monarch call
For the lost and the bitter
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright.
And thundering choirs pierce the air, with cries.
Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains
I’m a walking corpse who abandoned humanity’s cause
To become the god of harm
To divide and devour
Seek among the bones
For the ones who confronted my hate
Artisan of gore, steaming smothering venom
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air, with cries
Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains
You could be someone who loves
You could be a dearest friend
But compassion isn’t strength
And you were raised to be a man
And sometimes when you’re alone
You despise who you became
And I see the next in line just hoping to become the same
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
Starry-eyed youth in disguise
Carry a banner of misleading pride.
They are the ghosts of our time
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
They are the ghosts of our time
The provocative, imperious and engaging Swedish-based metal group SOEN unveil the captivating yet unnerving video for ‘Monarch’ today, taken from their fifth album, IMPERIAL, set for release via Silver Lining Music on January 29th 2021.
Founder members Joel Ekelöf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums), along with Lars Enok Åhlund (keyboards and guitar), Oleksii “Zlatoyar” Kobel (bass) and Cody Ford (lead guitar) are an undeniable cypher for all the issues and emotions which swirl around us. With its epic, dynamic tale alluding to men raised in aggression and sent to war, ‘Monarch’ commences with a stomping crushing riff that is perfectly juxtaposed with moments of pure majestic melodic bliss.
“‘Monarch’ is an epic, dynamic song about the traditional attributes of mankind. The belief that showing compassion and kindness is a sign of weakness.” explains Lopez. “The lack of direction and guidance in society is turning younger generations into violent and destructive creatures,” furthers Ekelöf “because they are living in an age where bullies are kings and the rest are prey”
On the making of the video, Lopez comments: “Making videos is a difficult task because it means that you need to hand over the control of your music to someone on the outside. You want to make a video that not only represents the lyrical content but that also captures the atmosphere and emotion of the song and for that you need to find a producer that has the capability of understanding and transforming all these words and notes into images and I think we found the right person in Daniele Zed Berretta… It was a pleasure to work with him and we’re very happy with how the video turned out.”

Its not a monolith. Its an Obelisk. It symbolizes that we are in control now. The people. No longer will the world be ran by the three Obelisks, Finance in London, Religion in the Vatican and Military in Washington DC. These three obelisks represent the world powers (all three locations are technically their own state). Smaller ones being placed elsewhere symbolize that the people are taking the power back.

I always feel like Soen are a band that are about to become massive. It'll happen. For now, let's enjoy the ride.

I came back to Monarch after seeing Deceiver, how they are connecting the songs on this album is amazing!! a masterpiece! Long live Soen 🖤🤘🏽🔥
Two singles so far, both of them colossal. This album looks promising
The entire album is absolutely fantastic.

Incredible music. I've been listening to Progressive Metal for years and am astonished that I haven't heard of these guys before. Its almost criminal. I could say with confidence, right now in January, that this will probably remain my top album of 2021. I have the whole Soen back-catalogue to go through now, which I am excited for!

I mean, they're not really prog metal, that's probably why. Maybe somewhat adjacent... But they're pretty much 4/4 time and no weird song structures or unexpected changes. Heck, my father likes them, and he only likes music that's pretty straightforward (structurally). That said, they make outstanding melodic metal music, regardless of label!
Getting better and better
Antagonist first and now this one on repeat! Brilliant!!!
One of the best song of the year. I can't wait 🤘🏻 Greetings from Turkiye 🇹🇷

I love how you combine strong percussion based modern metal riffs, with well thought out intricate melodies! I'd love to hear your lighter side as well, like on Lotus! Greetings from Greece
Thank you Soen, for give us an incredible song for closed this chaotic and unforgettable year. I saw you in Mexico city before the beginning of the pandemia, and I think it was a great experience for me, see you into the show. I will keep this moment in my heart. Love you, Soen❤️🌟
Damn, Martin! That drum sound kills.
Gott sei Dank gibt's immer noch Bands, die direkt faszinieren und nicht langweilen
Great band! Great musicians! In this album there is a dark and strange sadness...

Maybe is own my impression, but Soen is getting better and better with every new album. Eager to listen this one complete!
New Dragon Age trailer and new Soen....Solas is on a roll! Amazing Song!!!
Every time Soen releases a new song or album, i stop listening to anything and time freezes there. I saw them live when they came to Athens and I still remember it like yesterday. They are one of my few favorite bands and will remain in first place. I'm waiting for Imperial. Amazing Track, beautiful video. Joel you rock my friend!
Love this Band, respect from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia!
*Muchas gracias por otro tema, felicitaciones!!!* *Sigan creciendo y deleitándonos con su hermoso trabajo. Amor desde México* 🇲🇽 😘😘🎊🎊
