Soen is a progressive rock/metal band hailing from Stockholm, Sweden. Originally formed in 2004 by Martin Lopez and Kim Platbarzdis, the band went on hiatus before making their official debut in 2010.

Inspired by a diverse range of artists such as Leprous, Rishloo, Riverside, and Opeth among others, Soen has crafted a unique sound that combines intricate melodies with powerful rhythms. Their music explores deep emotions and thought-provoking themes.

With their captivating performances and critically acclaimed albums like *Lykaia* and *Lotus*, Soen has garnered a dedicated fanbase worldwide. Their distinctive blend of atmospheric textures, haunting vocals, and technical prowess sets them apart in the realm of progressive music.

The provocative, challenging, imperious and entertaining Swedish-based progressive metal group Soen release their fifth album, Imperial, via Silver Lining Music.

Founder members Joel Ekelöf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums), along with Lars Åhlund (keys and guitar), Cody Ford (lead guitar) and Olekseii 'Zlatoyar' Kobel (bass) 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, complicated yet further by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

Lead single Antagonist storms through the gates with a massive heavy riff of intent, followed by an epic blend of strength, beauty and defiance which will excite old school Soen-ers and new fans alike. With the sleeve art's beautiful yet deadly dark snake further informing a deep and twisted series of tales within, Imperial stands to be another outstanding chapter in Soen's ever-expanding legacy.
