𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋
Stand up straight for the idols’ anthem
Raise our flag and don’t dare to run away
Fight like warriors become the reaper
Killing to keep them in line
When your life is a device to harvest concern
Don’t you tremble
Death will only take a minute
When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie
Bite your tongue and obey your leader
Troubled paragon swallowed by earth
When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie
…Memories control your worn soul
Memories hurt us all still we’ll never surrender
The bottle becomes your home and the gun is all you can hear
And if you pretend to save us from our intentions
The scars will remind that pain is a passage we’ll have to cross
When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie

A meeting of melodic magnitude with face-crushingly heavy guitars and driving rhythms, the new single ‘Memorial’ has a ferocious groove, underlying the weighty subject of war and evocative vocals of Joel Ekelöf.
“It is a song to remind us of the victims of the power games that our so-called leaders play”, comments founding member and drummer Martin Lopez.
“It’s about PTSD” explains vocalist and co-founding member Joel Ekelöf, “and the effect war has on people like you and me that are sent to kill and die and have to pay that price for the rest of their lives.”
Never ones to take the restrained path, Soen face down the ills and ways of current society with a crisp, wounded venom that betrays their pain, anger and frustrations.
Each guitar carries a greater serrated edge, each melody a richer heart, each lyric a soul and spleen venting definitive proclamation. At the same time, Soen’s unique blend of progression, aggression, and beauty shows more maturity than ever before.
Soen have been building up to this moment for years and now they’re here with Memorial, which is an inspiring modern hard rock classic.
Following an incredible set at this year’s Download festival, Soen, completed by Lars Enok Åhlund (Keyboards and Guitar), Oleksii ‘Zlatoyar’ Kobel (Bass) and Cody Ford (Lead Guitar), have added an extra date to their upcoming ‘Memorial’ European tour, which will kick off in September. It’s their only UK date to be announced so far, at London’s iconic O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Friday 13th October.
