  • 𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐓 is the first single from IMPERIAL, SOEN's fifth studio album; IMPERIAL available now: smarturl.it/SOENIMPERIAL 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒
    Staring Brendan McGowan; special FX make-up by Beatrice Sniper.
    𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒:
    With the rejects and lonely I blend
    With the beggars and junkies I welcome the pain
    Of a life as the target of blame.
    For the outcast who wouldn’t align
    With the ruthless unfairness that rules on our time
    For the wolves driven out by the lambs.
    You’re mistaking the crook for the honest
    While you’re building your homes far away from us
    Raising walls to keep us on the outside
    Of your meaningless life
    Fire up your guns, to honor the ones
    Who walk on the edge of the light to follow their cause
    Fire up your guns, defying the kings
    For the word that they preach
    Is the wound that is making us bleed
    I break my bread with the thieves
    I share my wine with the villain you fear
    To be cursed by the ones you revere
    The weak and the bullied we are,
    The tyrant is feeding us crumbs from its hand,
    Celebrate a disheartening life
    Dishonesty cracks in the light
    Necessity forces the proud to be humble
    Failure in life purifies
    Dependency dampens the wild
    Inequity weighs down the motion of progress
    Life isn’t just to survive
    Fire up the guns, light up the flame and they will hear
    Let anger be the voice that speaks
    Born, as a shade in the dark
    Like a stain of shame on the flag of our cultural pride
    Are we all unaware of our loss?
    For a part of our kin we refuse to relieve
    And condemn to exile
    Fire up your guns, to honor the ones
    Who walk on the edge of the light to follow their cause
    Fire up your guns, defying the kings
    For the word that they preach is the wound that is making us bleed
    Fire up your guns.
    The provocative, imperious and engaging Swedish-based metal group SOEN will unveil their fifth album, IMPERIAL, 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) 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. Eight crisp, sharp, and supremely constructed songs spanning frustration, reflection and hope, IMPERIAL is the most direct fierce? and dynamic release of SOEN’s journey, one which continues to be deeply therapeutic for both the group’s dedicated followers and the band themselves.
    Produced by Iñaki Marconi and the band, IMPERIAL was mixed and mastered by Kane Churko, who has worked with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Bob Dylan, giving songs such as ‘Illusion’, ‘Modesty’ and the epic closer ‘Fortune’ a dimension and richness which will reach yet more ears and minds. The sheer power and poetry of SOEN’s dynamics are more completely executed and honed than ever before, something which is perversely a product of the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Lead single ‘Antagonist’ storms through the gates with a massive heavy riff of intent, followed by an epic blend of strength, beauty and defiance of all the world’s darkest powermongers, captured in the lyrics ‘Dependency dampens the wild / Inequity weighs down the motion of progress / Life isn’t just to survive.’
    “We will always be a band that has the old will to fight for freedom and all the important things in life, the people, the underdog,” furthers Lopez “You have to take on the big question marks such as what the fuck are we doing with our lives and where’s the empathy. Why do we keep on testing and crushing ourselves as a species?”
    “As we continue, we find inspiration in the sad fact that the world is getting more and more polarized, that it’s more complex and it’s not consensus or people getting along.” says Ekelöf “We continue to try and understand why and how that will affect us all.”
    SOEN are an undeniable cypher for all which swirls around us, something which will continue to set them apart from their peers for years to come, and IMPERIAL is the latest potent, unmissable commentary from their journey.

      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      „Your banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.“
      „He will wait until wars rage everywhere.
      Then he will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. Everyone will lavish praise on him.
      "
      "He will impress everyone with his knowledge of all things sacred.
      He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him."

    It's crazy how much influence news outlets and social media got nowadays. Depending on what they report or how they frame it, the same story can look completely different on two channels. They got way more power than most of us would think, a great (though pretty insignificant) example was the hoarding that started with the pandemic. At least where I live there was no problem until the news told us that there is one, the panic they caused actually made people go out and hoard toilet paper and what not.

      See, your entire problem is you claim that 'mainstream media' is unfair and unbalanced, and you end up watching the extreme right wing news outlets. Which is absolutely insane.
      "China, mainstream media, big tech all did their best to hurt America just to make Trump look bad to get rid of him."
      That might be the dumbest statement ever. TRUMP started a year long trade war with China which ended up hurting the US more than China. Remember the SOCIALISTIC bailouts of farmers Trump bankrupted?
      Oh, and what did he get guaranteed from China after he caved in the trade war?
      NOTHING. Zilch. Just a couple of vague promises which have disappeared in the year following his laughably inept trade war.
      BTW, you aint any kind of real libertarian if you support Trump. You are a fraud, Rand Paul type libertarian---the one who parties in Moscow on the taxpayers' dime.
      Here's a hint---stop watch ANY 24 hour cable 'news' networks and then maybe you can make a claim of being neutral on ANYTHING. Because right now, you are taking a page right out of the RWNJ playbook, and the really sad thing is you don't even realize it.

Can't wait for the album, thanks for this awsome song and please come to Turkey, you can use my home as a hotel just come as soon as you can! \m/

    • @blppt

      Drums are mixed too loud for my taste though. Bass needs to be higher in the mix. At least its not Lykaia, where you couldn't hear Lopez as times (the swells of guitars and bass of "Opal" for example, drowned out his cymbals).
      I just wonder why they didn't go for the same mix as Lotus---that was about as perfect as they've ever had in terms of production.

    This song have so much meaning in Chile right now, In october 2019 , we have a major social outbreak, we take the streets and sadly : "LIGHT UP THE FLAME AND THEY WILL HEAR", is the only way to show our anger and change the inequality we live in.
    Thanks to that this Sunday in Chile, we have to vote, so we can make a new constitution, rejecting the old one that was made, after a bloody coup, in a dictatorship (in the 80's the darkest era of our country)
    This song ignites my heart once again and remember us that all the people who was severely hurt and died during all this process will never be forgotten.
    P.S. even when i hoped for seeing Chile in the videos, Bolivia is a neighbor country who represent very well the kind of fight we have with our goberments.

      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      „Your banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.“
      „He will wait until wars rage everywhere.
      Then he will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. Everyone will lavish praise on him.
      "
      "He will impress everyone with his knowledge of all things sacred.
      He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him."
