SOEN “Reliance”: Swedish Savagery & Why Metalheads Feel It Harder

Swedish progressive metal band SOEN are masters of duality: crushing heaviness and devastating beauty. Their musical proficiency translates into a sound that hits you in the guts. Multi-instrumentalist Lars Åhlund talks about the band’s new album “Reliance,” writing music that holds both darkness and hope, and why it means everything when the toughest guy in the front row is headbanging with tears in his eyes. We also talk about Swedish folk melodies hidden inside heavy riffs, and what it really means to rely on music when the world is feeling things, hard.
