SOEN are a band who can tear your flesh apart with sheer power and moments later, balm the pain with beautiful melodies, and new single ‘Discordia’ is no exception. ‘Discordia’ takes the listener on a musical exploration, juxtaposing lush sombre moments with crushing waves of relentless propulsion.

“‘Discordia” is the result of us pushing ourselves into different territories both sonically and emotionally.” comments founding member and drummer Martin Lopez. “We experimented with darker textures to capture the descent from self-protection into isolation”.

“The song sits in the tension between wanting connection and building walls to avoid pain. It’s a piece born from vulnerability, and from our willingness to explore the uncomfortable corners of our sound” furthers vocalist and frontman Joel Ekelöf.

Reliance will be released on January 16th 2025, via Silver Lining Music. Available as a CD, 12” Vinyl Album in Black and colour variants, digital formats and special D2C products and bundles. For pre-orders, go to: https://lnk.to/SoenReliance

DISCORDIA
I felt the fire burning in my blood
And went from healing to falling
Before it all was gone
And weakness smothered every laughter
I went from nothing to an empty home
Struggled to keep going on
Fought my way out alone

I never wanted to be hurt in any way
So I build up a wall around myself
Pushing everyone away
Forever lost within

I never wanted to believe you cared for me
So I kept crawling in the misery
Sheltered in my agony
Forever lost within

All purpose fades without a hand to hold
Indifference hinders evolving
A mirror to the void
Reflecting questions without answers
I dare to lose you but not to be whole
That’s the lesson that I learned
Letting my hopes unfold

I see them laughing in their happy homes
While I’m standing here alone
Wishing I was someone

I never wanted to be hurt in any way
So I build up a wall around myself
Pushing everyone away
Forever lost within
I never wanted to believe you cared for me
So I kept crawling in the misery
Sheltered in my agony
Forever lost within
