Our Take
Our Take
SOEN's latest album, Lykaia, is a wild, untamed beast of a record that prowls through the dense forests of prog metal with ferocious intensity. With a name like Lykaia, you know you're in for something primal and savage, and this album delivers on that promise with teeth-baring aggression and hypnotic melodies.
From the moment the opening track, "Sectarian," kicks in with its thunderous drums and soaring vocals, you're plunged headfirst into a dark, mystical world where wolves roam free and the moon hangs low in the sky. The band's intricate guitar work and complex rhythms create a sense of urgency and unrest that builds and builds until it reaches a crescendo of pure sonic catharsis.
But Lykaia isn't all doom and gloom - there are moments of unexpected beauty and grace scattered throughout the album, like the haunting piano interlude in "Lucidity" or the dreamy melodies of "Jinn." These moments provide a welcome respite from the relentless onslaught of heaviness and add a layer of depth and nuance to an already rich tapestry of sound.
Overall, Lykaia is a tour de force of modern prog metal that demands to be heard and experienced. SOEN have crafted a masterpiece that is both challenging and rewarding, a musical journey that is as exhilarating as it is captivating. In a genre filled with imitators and pretenders, SOEN stand out as true innovators, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in metal music. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let Lykaia take you on a wild, unpredictable ride through the dark heart of the forest. Trust us, you won't regret it.
