Swedish prog metal act Soen, featuring ex-Opeth/Amon Amarth drummer Martin Lopez, have released a video for their track "Trials" from their forthcoming live release Atlantis. You can check out the video above.
About the track, the band has stated: "Freedom is not to be taken for granted. Modern society is built to entertain us and keep us passive, forgetting about the important things in life. We have to be aware of what we really value in our lives. The great masses are taken advantage of by a few wolves of wealth, many of whom we put in power ourselves or pay monthly subscription fees to. 'Trials' talks about the desperation and anger of knowing that society is unfair and that we all contribute to something we're against just by existing."
Atlantis is an in-studio concert film, recorded on December 10, 2021 at the Atlantis Grammofon Studio in Stockholm. Soen was joined by an 8-piece orchestra for thrilling interpretations of the band's catalog. Additionally, a cover of Slipknot‘s “Snuff” was also recorded and will appear on this release. The album is available November 18. Pre-orders for Atlantis are available here. The group also has the following dates confirmed:
