𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒:
When the eyes of war
Set their sight on the dissident land
When the meek turn clamorous
And the sheep are the lions
As the curtain falls
And devotion is measured in blood
Hear the monarch call
For the lost and the bitter
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright.
And thundering choirs pierce the air, with cries.
Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains
I’m a walking corpse who abandoned humanity’s cause
To become the god of harm
To divide and devour
Seek among the bones
For the ones who confronted my hate
Artisan of gore, steaming smothering venom
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air, with cries
Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains
You could be someone who loves
You could be a dearest friend
But compassion isn’t strength
And you were raised to be a man
And sometimes when you’re alone
You despise who you became
And I see the next in line just hoping to become the same
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
Starry-eyed youth in disguise
Carry a banner of misleading pride.
They are the ghosts of our time
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
They are the ghosts of our time
The provocative, imperious and engaging Swedish-based metal group SOEN unveil the captivating yet unnerving video for ‘Monarch’ today, taken from their fifth album, IMPERIAL, set for release via Silver Lining Music on January 29th 2021.
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) are an undeniable cypher for all the issues and emotions which swirl around us. With its epic, dynamic tale alluding to men raised in aggression and sent to war, ‘Monarch’ commences with a stomping crushing riff that is perfectly juxtaposed with moments of pure majestic melodic bliss.
“‘Monarch’ is an epic, dynamic song about the traditional attributes of mankind. The belief that showing compassion and kindness is a sign of weakness.” explains Lopez. “The lack of direction and guidance in society is turning younger generations into violent and destructive creatures,” furthers Ekelöf “because they are living in an age where bullies are kings and the rest are prey”
On the making of the video, Lopez comments: “Making videos is a difficult task because it means that you need to hand over the control of your music to someone on the outside. You want to make a video that not only represents the lyrical content but that also captures the atmosphere and emotion of the song and for that you need to find a producer that has the capability of understanding and transforming all these words and notes into images and I think we found the right person in Daniele Zed Berretta… It was a pleasure to work with him and we’re very happy with how the video turned out.”

So, there's the Monolith
Yeah what the hell? The band Tesseract is currently doing the monolith thing as well. It’s everywhere
Yeap, was Soen
Its not a monolith. Its an Obelisk.
It symbolizes that we are in control now. The people. No longer will the world be ran by the three Obelisks, Finance in London, Religion in the Vatican and Military in Washington DC.
These three obelisks represent the world powers (all three locations are technically their own state). Smaller ones being placed elsewhere symbolize that the people are taking the power back.
@@ChuckBeefOG and Buenos Aires obelisk?
@@ChuckBeefOG all that’s actually true
I wish they played music like this on the radio.
Soen and Katatonia, two of the greatest bands in the world right now.
I agree with both
Opeth! Soen!
+10000000..
Agreeee
Opeth, Soen, Katatonia, Steven Wilson
These guys are so fucking good. Criminally underrated.
You guys are the most underrated group of people alive !!!
ايوا جدا
@@xaviusmlbb3304 wow first time seeing an arab metalhead who knows this band! its kinda hard to find them
هوا البروجريسف ملهوش فانز عرب كتير بس دي اكتر جينرا انا بسمعها بقالي فتره و soen اكتر باند حبتهم
They're lit on stage
@@david02dn yeah at least better than other bands who earn millions of dollars.. you've attended one ?
Soen closed the year 2020 with good music.
Soen, Cult of Luna, Leprous, Evergrey, Anneke and Dark Tranquillity
I absolutely agree 🤘
I absolutely agree 🤘🌍🔥
Good is an understatement, they closed 2020 with excellent music.
And now they opened 2021 with even better music!!
Quien mas de habla hispana está disfrutando de lo nuevo de Soen?
Yo desde el primer disco y no me aburro en absoluto. Saludos Observador.
Me tardo varias escuchas apreciarlo, pero me hizo click y no dejo de escucharlo.
Levanté la mano desde República Dominicana. No esperaba menos de Soen.
Excelente banda!!!

I came back to Monarch after seeing Deceiver, how they are connecting the songs on this album is amazing!! a masterpiece! Long live Soen 🖤🤘🏽🔥
I don't have words to describe my feelings when I listen your songs. That is a masterpiece.
I stopped trying to describe my connection to this band a long time ago too.
Pure emotions 🤗
Are you from Brazil?
Literally the best song that I’ve discovered in over 25 years!!
I can relate
Incredible music. I've been listening to Progressive Metal for years and am astonished that I haven't heard of these guys before. Its almost criminal.
I could say with confidence, right now in January, that this will probably remain my top album of 2021. I have the whole Soen back-catalogue to go through now, which I am excited for!
Lotus is incredible from start to finish.
amazing band and discography!
Buckle up.
If U like This,,take a listen to Evergrey.
I mean, they're not really prog metal, that's probably why. Maybe somewhat adjacent... But they're pretty much 4/4 time and no weird song structures or unexpected changes. Heck, my father likes them, and he only likes music that's pretty straightforward (structurally). That said, they make outstanding melodic metal music, regardless of label!
Kolejne cudo z nowego albumu SOEN...... Z płyty na płytę Soen staje się coraz bardziej mi bliski.... Jestem z nimi od początku.... Od pierwszego albumu..... Bravo Bravo 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🇵🇱
Thank you Soen, for give us an incredible song for closed this chaotic and unforgettable year. I saw you in Mexico city before the beginning of the pandemia, and I think it was a great experience for me, see you into the show. I will keep this moment in my heart. Love you, Soen❤️🌟
The entire album is absolutely fantastic.
One of the best song in decades. I am blown away!!
Antagonist first and now this one on repeat! Brilliant!!!
*Muchas gracias por otro tema, felicitaciones!!!* *Sigan creciendo y deleitándonos con su hermoso trabajo. Amor desde México* 🇲🇽 😘😘🎊🎊
One of the best song of the year. I can't wait 🤘🏻 Greetings from Turkiye 🇹🇷
I always feel like Soen are a band that are about to become massive. It'll happen. For now, let's enjoy the ride.
Best Songs 2020 so far - Soen!
Best clothing style 2020 - Joel!
I love how you combine strong percussion based modern metal riffs, with well thought out intricate melodies! I'd love to hear your lighter side as well, like on Lotus! Greetings from Greece
When the eyes of war (War)
Set their sight on the dissident land (Land)
When the meek turns clamorous (-orous)
And the sheep are the lions (The lions)
As the curtain falls (Falls)
And devotion is measured in blood (Blood)
Hear the monarch call (Call)
For the lost and the bitter
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (with cries)
Into the fire I am leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I rеign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on rеmains
I’m a walking corpse (Corpse)
Who abandoned humanity’s cause (Cause)
To become the god of harm (Harm)
To divide and devour
Seek among the bones (Bones)
For the ones who confronted my hate (Hate)
Artisan of gore (Gore)
Steaming smothering venom
Guitar Solo
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (With cries, with cries, with cries)
Into the fire I am leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains
You could be someone who loves
You could be a dearest friend
But compassion isn’t strength
And you were raised to be a man
And sometimes when you’re alone
You despise who you became
And I see the next in line just hoping to become the same
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
Starry-eyed youth in disguise
Carry a banner of misleading pride
They are the ghosts of our time
Who are the ones we are sending to die?

I didn't pay attention to the actual lyrics to this song for the first few repeats. Then I followed along with your comment. Then I shed tears.
These guys deserve way more exposure.
Thank you for the Lyrics!
These Lyrics are so epic and the chosen words sound beautiful and paint the scenery so well
I’m a walking corpse
Who abandoned humanity’s cause
To become the god of harm
To divide and devour
Seek among the bones
For the ones who confronted my hate
Artisan of gore
Steaming smothering venom
I mean like holy shit that is an excellent choice of words, esprcially from someone who isn't even a native english speaker
Thank you for the lyrics. Perfectly spaced out to marry up with the song making it even more epic! 🎩👏
The Refrain is a plagio or tribute (you choose) to Warrel Dane R.I.P.
When the meat turns glamorous
I can't express my feelings. Just keep doing what you do! 🖤🖤🖤
Express them, it's time
That drum sound on this album. Absolutely amazing. Good job guys!
this song gets better everytime I listen to it
I love the way this guys make their own sound and vibe, a more authentic and precise with each piece of their art. Powerful and highly intelligent band
Love this guy's voice
Gott sei Dank gibt's immer noch Bands, die direkt faszinieren und nicht langweilen
I’m not sure how they manage to outdo themselves after each album but wow 😍
they're Swedish
Holy Mother of Riffs
The sound that's made when you use crowbars as drum sticks! Epic!
Every time Soen releases a new song or album, i stop listening to anything and time freezes there. I saw them live when they came to Athens and I still remember it like yesterday. They are one of my few favorite bands and will remain in first place. I'm waiting for Imperial. Amazing Track, beautiful video. Joel you rock my friend!
Two singles so far, both of them colossal. This album looks promising
An ‘Imminence and Soen’ tour needs to happen ASAP!! And over near Boston Mass please 🙌🏻
Great band! Great musicians! In this album there is a dark and strange sadness...
Voldemort and Nagini reunited.
Brilliant!
Bruh.
His nose,too.
Lolololol!
3:45 Touched something deeply in me I didn't even know it existed
Same! 😬🖤
Soen has some of the best choruses ever! ❤️
Just found this band on Spotify and I'm so glad I did
Maybe is own my impression, but Soen is getting better and better with every new album. Eager to listen this one complete!
Love this Band, respect from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia!
Parabéns Soen, por mais um trabalho maravilhoso!
De nada friend
Simplemente EPICO!! Ese final, in crescendo, con la voz y los violines... increíble.
Todo es perfecto en esta canción
Getting better and better
I can't stop listening to this band, better late than ever, I'm glad I discovered you recently.
OUTSTANDING band ,each of the 4 albums so far have been amazing.

"You could be someone who loves
You could be a dearest friend
But compassion isn't strength
And you were raised to be a man"

I'm 50 this year and I've never heard of Soen before yesterday. No more time to waste now !
Their whole catalogue is stunning, Lykia and Lotus are my Favourites so far.
@@thelstanegn5348 As I am a bit of an old fashioned guy I have already ordered all their available material.
@@thelstanegn5348 I am pretty sure you already know "Imperial" is a masterpiece.
@@d.g.2142 Aye, that it is! An amazing addition to the catalogue....a natural continuation to lotus!
We never had so many reasons to want a new year soon!
Excellent!!! Great job guys!!
