Soen have just released a music video for their song “Axis“. This latest single from their seventh studio album “Reliance” was shot with director Patric Ullaeus (Arch Enemy, Amorphis). Vocalist Joel Ekelöf said of the track:
“‘Axis‘ is about the moment when you start to notice that the roles you’re given don’t really belong to you. It’s about stepping beyond that distance we learn to live with, and remembering there’s something stronger underneath it. The fire is already there. The question is if we’re willing to stand closer and follow it together.”
His bandmate, drummer Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth) added of the song:
“It’s a straight-up metal anthem for those of us who refuse to pretend that the people in power actually have our best interests at heart. A musical “fuck-you” to all of them.”
Soen keyboardist/guitarist Lars Åhlund said of this newly unveiled visual component for this single:
“The video keeps it as simple as it should be. Just us going hard, playing a song we love. It’s a rehearsal captured through the lens of the incredible Patric Ullaeus, and it feels exactly right for a track like ‘Axis.'”
Soen are presently out co-headlining the ‘Scandinavian Heavy Arts Tour‘ with Swedish melodic death metal outfit Dark Tranquillity. Andorran progressive death metal group Persefone have been serving as the openers on that trek.
