Soen - Release 'Snuff' (Slipknot Cover) Video
Swedish metal supergroup, Soen, have released a video for their interpretation of the Slipknot classic, “Snuff”. The track is taken from the forthcoming release Atlantis, out via Silver Lining Music on November 18. Atlantis is a special concert film featuring thirteen of the group’s most popular compositions reinterpreted with live orchestral accompaniment at Atlantis Grammofon Studio in Stockholm, Sweden. The album is available for pre-orders here.
Founding members Martin Lopez and Joel Ekelöf on "Snuff": "We wanted to do something extra special during the Atlantis concert. The obvious path would have been to pick an epic progressive song from the likes of Genesis, Pink Floyd etc. Instead, we went for the opposite with 'Snuff', a scaled down and brutally honest song that we all love in its powerful sincerity."

01. Antagonist
02. Lunacy

Written by Bad English on 12.10.2022 at 11:38 A lot of chosen songs for covers are so cliché, it's ridiculous. How many Led Zeppelin Rock'nRoll or Immigrant Song covers do i have to hear for example? Zeppelin has like 8 albums, and yet, bands cover the same thing. Unpredictable choices are more interesting IMO. I don't even listen to Slipknot and i got no problem with the Soen cover.

Nah this cover sucks compared to the original, but then I never thought highly of this band anyway; Always felt like a poor man’s Tool.

Written by Bad English on 12.10.2022 at 20:55 A metal band doing a Britney Spears cover is just tongue in cheek kind of fun. Marillion did a Britney cover live, of a song called Toxic. They seem to have fun doing their own thing with the song. So does Soen with this cover.

Written by A Real Mönkey on 12.10.2022 at 21:40 "Poor man's Tool" has a very negative connotation. Call it Tool pastiche, I think it's more fair (for lack of a better word).

Written by JoHn Doe on 12.10.2022 at 21:46 Well, that would be a very good buzzword to use if I believed the quality was on par with the original, but I don't, so "poor man's Tool" it is.

John That's the example that bands follow pop scene... And are more into it as people what listening to band. Just saying....

Written by Bad English on 12.10.2022 at 20:55 COB were known for doing unusual covers just for fun. And you can clearly feel it from Britney Spears cover as well. This is different, because Soen does that with all seriousness. With all those arrangements, orchestra and stuff.

If this cover is any indication of the future, Soen will enter my "band decisions that I can't understand" list. Up until Lykaia, they were easily my top 2 soft prog go-to bands alongside Leprous. I miss them both dearly but I just don't like their music anymore...

Written by A Real Mönkey on 12.10.2022 at 21:49 So if these guys are "poor man's Tool", then does that make the current state of Tool a "poor man's Tool" too?

Quote:Written by SoUnDs LiKe PoP on 13.10.2022 at 20:14 To each his own. But I feel that they are getting popified in the sense that the rest of the band is there only to support the singer. You just cannot deny that in Leprous's case. And it seems that, with this single at least, Soen is following in the same footsteps.

Soen don't sound like Tool. At least their latest two albums don't. I very much enjoy them, and have always had a dislike for Tool. Blasphemy.

Written by SoUnDs LiKe PoP on 14.10.2022 at 21:09 Sorry but I have no idea what you're on about. It seems like you support both sides of the argument simultaneously. Also, I never mentioned Tool once. So what are you saying exactly?
