Elijah Blake - Audiology - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 . Never ones to take the restrained path, on their sixth studio album Memorial, Soen face down the ills and ways of current society with a crisp, wounded venom that betrays their pain, anger and frustrations. Each guitar carries a greater serrated edge, each melody a richer heart, each lyric a soul and spleen venting definitive proclamation. At the same time, Soen's unique blend of progression, aggression, and beauty shows more maturity than ever before. The dovetail of melodic greatness and face-crushingly heavy guitars and rhythms on Memorial is glorious. There's the proud power-stride of InchSincereInch and the sheer power of InchUnbreakableInch, Martin Lopez's drums driving deep, the symphonic beauty of InchHollowedInch (featuring guest vocals by Elisa), and the rousing roar of InchIconInch, with the trademark vocals of Joel Ekelöf as emotionally evocative as ever. Throughout, Oleksii InchZlatoyarInch Kobel's bass supplies a thick river of support, while Lars Enok Åhlund and Cody Lee Ford supply consistently dynamic, brilliant twin guitar work. Finishing with the beautiful, tragic, Pink Floyd-doused ballad InchVitalsInch, Memorial is the result of brave, emotional, and evocative artists finding their best stride yet amidst global chaos and madness. Soen have been building up to this moment for years; now they're here, Memorial deserves universal acclaim as a truly inspired modern hard rock classic.

It's 2017 in the southwestern corner of America. There's snow in the distant mountains and the slow desert sunset creeps through the windshield of the Mercury on 40 West. The young man is driving home, wherever that is. Every year Elijah Ocean crisscrosses the country singing his songs and making memories. With three full-length LPs under his belt and a fourth in the chamber, Ocean is just hitting his stride. Following 2014's folky Bring It All In and a cross-country move to Los Angeles, the singer-songwriter is set to a self-titled full-length country-rock album.
