 | | Description: | Lykaia by Soen, released 3 February 2017, includes the following tracks: "Lucidity", "Jinn", "Stray" and more.
This version of Lykaia comes as a 1xLP.
The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. - 180gm vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. Soen, the progressive GROUP featuring the otherworldly driven drumming of Martin Lopez (formerly of Amon Amarth and Opeth) and the dynamic voice of Joel Ekelöf, plus bassist Stefan Stenberg, new guitarist Marcus Jidell (ex Avatarium) and new keyboard/guitarist Lars Åhlund have been taking another trip into uncharted waters for the past few months at Ghostward and Deepwell Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Their previous travels saw Soen start to visualize, and explore their pathway, with 2012's Cognitive beating a firmly heavy, progressive metal path, before 2014's Tellurian saw Soen start to stride freely into their own power and unique visions. In fact, Tellurian was the album which saw the band embracing the experimental spirit of pioneering travelers like Pink Floyd while retaining the power, force and influence of Opeth. Soen's music is so much more than an easy 'category.' "This has never been about genres, it's always been about the journey we need to take both musically and personally," says Lopez, "and what we´re working on right now is another adventure, another journey which in some ways is quite different again but also builds upon the experiences we've had over the last few years.""Lykaia" is a powerful LP by the progressive metal band Soen, released here in a high-quality edition by Silver Line. The album combines heavy, groove-oriented riffs with atmospheric melodies and thoughtful, often introspective lyrics. Across its tracks, "Lykaia" explores a dark, organic sound that feels more analog and raw than overly polished, giving the songs a very immediate and human character. Listeners can expect dynamic song structures, emotionally charged vocals, and a strong sense of cohesion that turns the record into a continuous journey rather than just a collection of individual tracks. For fans of sophisticated, heavy music that values both intensity and nuance, "Lykaia" is a compelling listen and a standout chapter in Soen's discography on vinyl.
