SOEN - Opal (Official Video) 

mate,just discovered Soen while waiting for tool. Great band! who is Martin Lopez?

@@jeshram Ex Opeth drummer, who later formed Soen

FFF Lopez, I had no clue. No wonder the drum tracks sound so good

You don't like amazing solos?

Konačno rival Toolu

Me to

Me too man!

ahhaha

This is probably the cringiest things I have heard in a while

This song is a hit and miss for you apparently...

They're coming to a small club in Lisbon, here in Portugal. It's going to be in october and I must buy a ticket fast!!

Yeah, the guitarist looks like a Viking 😅 they are very good live, true

An Angel Ascending indeed, I can't stop listening its sooooo good

Their drummer, Martin Lopez is the former drummer from Progressive Folk Death Metal kings, Opeth. He's an absolute beast on the drums, and is one of the best modern drummers of any genre IMO. For some, it may border on "blasphemous" for some Tool fans (I'm also a HUGE Tool fan) to say no matter what some may say about Soen being a Tool rip-off/sounding too similar to Tool/APC etc, Martin Lope IMHO, is one of the few drummers out there that can even pull off the technical prowess AND raw ability to compare to Carey. I mean that as both a compliment to Lopez and that Carey is one of the best modern rock/metal drummers, especially within their "genre", whatever genre you would put them in, if you choose to label/pigeonhole them. The fact that longtime Tool fans would even admit to a "similar" style/sound, as they say, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I believe Lopez said that he actually looks at Tool as their own genre, a very admirable compliment to Tool indeed. On topic of Lopez, I was fortunate enough to have met him in person at a meet n greet at the 'Sounds of the Underground' festival outside of Philadelphia. Lopez departed Opeth because supposedly was suffering a are blood disorder, that and did not want to tour anymore to paraphrase. Other whispers were that he had a drug addiction, which IMO, is irrelevant, I've suffered addiction so I would never pass judgement even if that were the case, I'm just genuinely happy to finally see him doing what he loves and is so very good at, playing music!

Fallout Wanderer 2077 lopez is amazing but don't forget gavin harrison he is brilliant too

Really..lol.. You dont think they are abad tool rip off?

I just started listening to metal because of these guys.

youre fucking right, he was the best for sure

Sorry ? Is still one the best out there ahaha .

Meh, listen to pale communion and say me that

I'm not a biblically person but I think this story behind this says well enough to all types of religion

''Turn away, don't be led astray From false perceptions No more lies, no more disguise No false pretenders'' Shouldn't have they said : ''Turn away, don't be led astray from TRUE perceptions" ? It doesn't make sense to tell to not turn away from lies. Because the intended message seems to be the opposite.

ZX9RDan If you like it why not.

Χάουτου Μπέιζικ these comparison to tool are only because the first album sounded like lateralus! What they do now is way different and better

Χάουτου Μπέιζικ γιατί έφυγε;

Αδερφέ μου, ο DiGiorgio νομίζω πως με τόσες μπάντες που έχει ασχοληθεί είναι πολύ κοντά στο να θεωρηθεί sessionας, οπότε γενικά πηγαίνει σε διάφορα ενδιαφέροντα projects και λογικά είδε τους Soen σαν ένα από αυτά. Αλλά πιο πολυ υποθέτω πως έφυγε για να αφοσιωθεί στους Testament.

for me it's a perfect mix between both bands... i love all the bands... can't really see what the fuz is all about

+Χάουτου Μπέιζικ I agree. They kinda look alike. Especially a vid I saw about Maynard's winery, could really make out his facial features then as he wasn't standing in the shadows. Soen's singer doesn't sound like Maynard. He sounds like *someone*, and for awhile I couldn't put my finger on it. . Then I realised... and pop rock haters aren't gonna like this. . His voice actually sounds more like Daughtry.

trenton Smalllwood con gra tula tions. great band tho

trenton Smalllwood same

Indeed anton. Glad someone has someone here is awakened

*Parabola starts playing*

Is tool progressive i feel they are heavy metal but not progressive

@@sreejx They are very progressive from Aenima on

Don't forget Riverside (with Piotr Gruzinski) - same level. Same greatness

Indeed, sir. Indeed!
