SOEN Premiere New Single & Lyric Video "Mercenary" From Upcoming New Album "Reliance"

SOEN have unveiled a new single titled “Mercenary“. The track marks the second song to be shared from the Swedish progressive metal band’s upcoming seventh album, “Reliance“. Its arrival is paired with a music video created by Freakshot Film.

Speaking on the new single, drummer Martin Lopez commented:

“‘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 scheduled to arrive on January 16th, with the band having announced a select run of tour dates in support of the record:

01/29-02/02 70000 Tons Of Metal
