SOEN (Sweden)

Swedish band Soen plays a mix of different styles, that is best described as melodic, heavy & complex. Formed around drummer Martin Lopez (Opeth / Amon Amarth ) the band is gathering a growing following. Their recent tour did see a number of sold out performances, proof of the fact that Soen is becoming a better known name in the progmetal genre

Soen's last release Tellurian got many positive reviews:

"Tellurian is an incredible album, with a couple of dynamic songs. It has a great dynamic arc, where each song leads perfectly into the next. It offers a wonderful variety of styles, blended together seamlessly. All the bands and musicians I mentioned should be seen as a reference, needed to describe the music only. This album is unique from the first to the very last note. It should not be missing in any prog metal collection." - DPRP.net

"I am struck over and over by the mastery of the melody and feel that Soen has. These moments of piercing beauty combined with the epic writing, the powerful performances and the next level of heaviness is sprinkled across the record makes Tellurian special. Soen has stepped through Tool"s shadow and come out the other side?and the light is revealing." - AngryMetalGuy.com

"Tellurian took me by complete surprise. Initially going into it, I had not expected myself to enjoy this as much I had. For fans of progressive metal, Tellurian is a must have and must listen this year. Soen are heading in a great direction with their second album, and it excites me to see what the future holds for this band." - MetalReviews.com

It is because of this that the ProgPower Europe crew takes pride in adding Soen to their 2015 line-up.
