Soen release new music video for ‘Illusion’

SOEN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Illusion, is taken from the Swedish progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Imperial, which is scheduled to be released this Friday, via Silver Lining Music.

“Illusion is a song about the shared responsibility amongst us if we wish to improve the world, change has to be made by us, you and me…the people,” explains drummer Martin Lopez about the new song. “It’s about the frustration of feeling powerless but also the hope in realizing that things can be changed for the better. If we stop criticizing each other and making enemies of ourselves by blindly following the ideas of politicians and their media.” Vocalist Joel Ekelöf adds, “we can’t just sit around and wait for those in power to help, they are preoccupied with battling each other in matters of greed and power.”

“The Illusion video is about dreamers,” comments video producer, Daniele Zed Berretta. “There are people who are ready to lose everything to follow their dreams, no matter the cost. Others are afraid of making dreams come true, so they stop right before fulfilling them, just to keep dreaming.”
