A new SOEN track titled “Mercenary” has just received its online debut. That song surfaces as the second single from the Swedish prog metal band’s seventh album “Reliance“. This latest cut from it is complemented by a music video shot by Freakshot Film. Drummer Martin Lopez offered:
“‘Mercenary‘ is about the violence we inherit, which then sees hatred seeping into lives–and life–which in turn shapes generations. It also addresses betrayal, about how that can see us ‘crowning vultures into kings.’
“Reliance” is slated for a January 16th release with the band currently having some limited touring announced for it:
