The perfect way for Soen to celebrate a decade together; ATLANTIS was created within the mystic and magical confines of Atlantis Grammofon Studio in Stockholm, Sweden, which has seen a wide range of international artists record, from Quincy Jones to Lenny Kravitz to Green Day. Formerly a movie house in 1941, it went on to become Metronome Studio (during which time ABBA was born) before becoming Atlantis Grammofon in 1983.

Filmed and recorded on December 10th 2021, Martin Lopez (drums & percussion), Joel Ekelöf (lead vocals), Lars Enok Åhlund (guitars & piano), Cody Lee Ford (lead guitar) and Oleksii “Zlatoyar” Kobel (bass) worked together with an 8-piece orchestra to reinterpret and rediscover fresh energy and elements in classic Soen songs, such as “Antagonist”, “Monarch”, “Jinn” and “Lucidity”, as well as introducing a stunning interpretation of Slipknot’s deeply dark meditation on darkness rejecting love, “Snuff”. The end result of this 80 minutes performance is some remarkable new aural refractions of Soen’s greatest material for fans to absorb and enjoy. As has always been the way with Soen: the deepest dives yield the greatest treasures.

Hot on the heels of their recently mostly sold-out shows in Europe and UK, the relentless metal quintet are now due to embark on a North American tour.

And one day you will understand, that your happiness depends on you. God knows how many times has this lyric spoken to me. Thank you Soen for creating such beautiful uplifting music

[jamiesolomons]

This song helped get me through 2022 after my son suffering mental health issues and depression threatened to take his life, this songs words perfect describe how I feel about him ❤️ just a beautiful song.

[esraezgiuyar]

Time, it's unveiling every end
What we couldn't comprehend is now avowed
Weak is the soul of every man
And the wicked ones decide the fate of all
And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the battles lost
We still stand here believing
Doesn't matter if they know our name
When in darkness we will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall
There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near
Cold is the hand that rules the game
And the pieces of the play have no control
Doomed is the heart of every man
That is taking for himself what is for all
And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the fights you've lost
You still stand here believing
Doesn't matter if they know your name
When in darkness you will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall
There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near

A song with a great message, for me a hymn. I am a psychotherapist and accompanying people in their personal growth processes is highly gratifying as I realize that the human being harbors a limiting, negative force, however, there is also a positive force that drives improvement as a person, the point is to provide basic and necessary conditions such as empathic understanding, acceptance and unconditional appreciation for that co-creative force to emerge. Thank you Soen for that. Mexico awaits you with open arms.

[obscuredbyclouds]

The passion in Joel's voice is so very profound - the voice of an angel. Soen, you give us hope for a better future 🖤

[shaghayegh]

It's been almost two months since the revolution started in Iran. In memory of the bloody November 2019, today is the first day of the three days of the Nationwide Strike, the biggest strike in Iran. At the moment, the very fucking now, people are fighting on the streets with empty hands, and suddenly, you see Soen released FORTUNE's official performance on this day. Heartwarming. Once again, wish to see you guys soon here, in free Iran. Love you.

[moygarcia]

Gracias Soen por tu música, mi hijo de 5 años se emociona al escuchar sus canciones y con esta canción me acuerdo mucho de el. Gracias!!
