"“Lotus” is yet another excellent studio album from Soen. With it, the band keeps hardening its artistic focus and expressive stance. It feels remarkably unified, and it's the most focused of everything they've released so far."

On their third return to our stages, with the new studio album Lykaia, Soen have wowed us once again.

"Lykaia" digs deeper into what makes Soen tick! Is the new album packed with polished melodies, ambitiously loosened up with experimental exploration and progressive, technically complex musical figures?

"»Lykaia« is yet another gorgeous album, full of polished melodies that are ambitiously, experimentally loosened up with the exploratory value of progressively and technically complex musical figures. "

Soen headlined here for the first time, but last Sunday at Channel Zero they were somewhat outplayed by French openers Lizzard.

Twenty years after their first show in Slovenia, Paradise Lost presented their thirteenth studio album Tragic Idol at Kino Šiška last Sunday.

The aura of Tool, those American gods of lachrymological shutdown, has clearly crossed the ocean and taken root in Sweden, and Soen play the superstar card nicely with a stroll down the lateral byways of consciousness.
