MEMORIAL

Soen is one of the most highly skilled progressive metal bands in the world and with a unique and complex progressive metal style. Memorial is another great release by the band which includes the song 'Hollowed' featuring the Italian vocalist Elisa which is the first guest appearance I can think of for the band. This release follows the band's trend from Lotus and Imperial which was a bit of shift from the sound of Tellurian and Lykaia. Joel Ekelof's vocals are amazing with a huge range and varied presentation styles. Personally I don't see a much of a similarity with Tool other that at a technical level but if you like the sound of Opeth and other Swedish & Norwegian progressive metal bands like Leprous, Green Carnation, Pain of Salvation and Evergrey you should definitely give Soen's latest release 'Memorial' a listen.
