SOEN

Release Year: 2023
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: emotional intricate expressive progressive metal

musically the sharpest and most cohesive statement by Soen to date, where intoxicating progressive metal form is filled with richer guitar textures, ambitious riffs and pronounced aggression, without sacrificing melodic sensitivity or emotional weight, as tracks such as Sincere, Unbreakable and the title song immediately draw attention through clear structures, memorable choruses and purposefully building dynamics, while Incendiary and Tragedian demonstrate the ability to balance ominous energy with subtle transitions, all reinforced by mature production that allows the music sound especially emotional and impactful, establishing Memorial as an inspiring progressive metal record; European digipak edition comes with twenty page booklet
