Soen - Deceiver (Official Video)

𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑 from SOEN's fifth studio album 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋; Listen/order 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋 here: https://smarturl.it/SOENIMPERIAL 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑 is about battling whatever demons you have and carrying that constant worry on your shoulders, how it can wear you down and make whatever goals you achieve in your life pointless. It’s about standing up against that negativity within you and trying to keep going even if that negative shadow follows you wherever you go. 🔥 𝕍𝕀𝔻𝔼𝕆 ℂℝ𝔼𝔻𝕀𝕋𝕊: Cast: Omega: Fabrizio Bordignon Father: Marco Rossetti Daughter: Greta Ambrosini Soldiers: Claudio Corti, Francesco Forconi, Davide Luongo, Daniele Ninfo Videoclip Concept: TERRA (http://www.welcometoterra.com) Direction & Post Production: Videns Studios Production: Videns Studios (http://www.videns-studios.com) Set #1, Light in a Room Studios.

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) have never shied away from challenging our perceptions of life and humanity, and IMPERIAL continues SOEN’s unique journey through the psyche of our species and the conundrum of our times. Eight crisp, sharp, and supremely constructed songs spanning frustration, reflection and hope, IMPERIAL is the most direct fierce and dynamic release of SOEN’s journey, one which continues to be deeply therapeutic for both the group’s dedicated followers and the band themselves. Produced by Iñaki Marconi and the band, IMPERIAL was mixed and mastered by Kane Churko, who has worked with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Bob Dylan, giving songs such as ‘Illusion’, ‘Modesty’ and the epic closer ‘Fortune’ a dimension and richness which will reach yet more ears and minds. The sheer power and poetry of SOEN’s dynamics are more completely executed and honed than ever before, something which is perversely a product of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lead single ‘Antagonist’ storms through the gates with a massive heavy riff of intent, followed by an epic blend of strength, beauty and defiance of all the world’s darkest powermongers, captured in the lyrics ‘Dependency dampens the wild / Inequity weighs down the motion of progress / Life isn’t just to survive.’ IMPERIAL is an album which will engage the listener immediately and sustain long after this crazy time has passed, its rich details destined to make it a classic metal album of this era. SOEN are an undeniable cypher for all which swirls around us, something which will continue to set them apart from their peers for years to come, and IMPERIAL is the latest potent, unmissable commentary from their journey. IMPERIAL is out now via Silver Lining Music. Available as a CD Digipak, Vinyl Album, digital formats and special D2C bundles.
