SOEN Premiere New Single & Music Video "Discordia" From Upcoming New Album "Reliance"

SOEN have selected “Discordia” as the third single from their upcoming seventh studio album, “Reliance.” The Swedish progressive metal act will be issuing that record on January 16th through Silver Lining Music. A Linda Florin–directed music video for the track is now streaming via YouTube below.

The band shared some insight into the track, with drummer Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth/Amon Amarth) offering the following explanation:

“‘Discordia‘ is the result of us pushing ourselves into different territories both sonically and emotionally. We experimented with darker textures to capture the descent from self-protection into isolation.”

Adds frontman Joel Ekelöf:

“The song sits in the tension between wanting connection and building walls to avoid pain. It’s a piece born from vulnerability, and from our willingness to explore the uncomfortable corners of our sound.”

As for live plans, the band’s current 2026 itinerary has them touring Europe on the following dates:
