It's the most linear song they've made to date. Interpret this as you will. Sounds great but I hope the entire album isn't as straight forward.

Doesn't sound very different from Tellurian except a stronger focus on electronics. Hope they've got some surprises in store as well. Not bad but not mind-blowing either.

Some good riffs, typical Soen. Still optimistic even though the song isn't the best thing ever.

That first riff...they've been listening to too much Opeth

Edit: actually the whole song is pretty heavily influenced by Opeth. Were they like that before?

Great vocals. And yeah definitely a bit Opethy. I liked it though.

Well one member is a long time former drummer of Opeth

Yep, that's why I check out the band in the first place a few years back I just don't really remember how Opeth-y they sounded.

Did you listen to their last album? I recommend it, it's really good. Also, they always had a bit of an Opeth+Tool thing, more on the Tool side.

Yeah, I've heard both of their albums. I only remember the debut which sounded very Toolish, but I remember preferring it over Tool. Will definitely have to check out the follow-up, thanks for the reminder

I like it. It has older Opeth vibe

In my opinion Soen have the potential to become the next big "thing". Already their debut is great, and Tellurian is one of my favorite albums ever. I hope this surpasses Tellurian and has better production.
