Soen have released the piercing new single ‘Violence’, which is taken from their forthcoming album Memorial, set for release on September 1st via Silver Lining Music. For pre-orders go to this location.
Founding member and singer Joel Ekelöf comments, “Violence touches the topic of coercion, whether it is physical or mental. Violence can sometimes be delivered very cautiously in ways that don’t give room for a reaction but with the passing of time will destroy your confidence and self-regard.”
More than 50 museums spanning 23 countries have already confirmed their participation in SABATON’s unprecedented global museum initiative entitled History Rocks, which revolves around the worldwide premiere of the Swedish heavy metal band’s animated film, The War To End All Wars – The Movie this coming November.
As word of the project spreads, more and more museums are joining the participation list every day. Hitting the 50 mark was a milestone that was anticipated by the band from the very beginning, and this number is expected to rise significantly.

With only a month left until the release of CYHRA‘s new album The Vertigo Trigger, the Swedes today deliver the album’s third single ‘IF I‘. The melodic metallers, based around singer Jake E (ex-Amaranthe) and guitarists Jesper Strömblad (The Halo Effect/ex-In Flames) and Euge Valovirta (ex-Shining), offer a track brimming with tuneful heaviness, ear-worm riffs, and a striking chorus. The track especially salutes the Gothenburg metal scene, meaning that ‘IF I‘ provides all the elements to make a perfect CYHRA song.
Along with the release of the new single, the Swedes also present an accompanying new visualizer video, which can be witnessed here.
