Lotus - Soen | Guitar Solo Cover by Cem Saglam

Описание: I met the wonderful music of Soen through their beautiful song, Lotus. To me, it has a David Gilmour heavy influence on the guitar solo, tone and melody wise. Being a Pink Floyd fan, it's hard to not like this one :)

I used my beloved Fractal Audio FM3 for the tone, along with the beautiful Pereira Inspirational séries - The Black Strat. Much love to Pereira Guitars for allowing me to spend some time with this one - it's a phenomenal instrument, clearly built with high quality and great attention to detail.

Soen is a progressive metal band known for their intricate compositions, emotional depth, and atmospheric soundscapes. Formed in 2004 by drummer Martin Lopez (formerly of Opeth), the band blends elements of progressive rock, alternative metal, and post-metal to create a unique and dynamic sound. With influences ranging from Tool to Pink Floyd, Soen’s music is often characterized by deep lyrical themes, powerful melodies, and technical precision, making them one of the most compelling acts in modern progressive metal.

One of their most acclaimed songs, Lotus, serves as the title track of their 2019 album. This song is a masterful blend of soaring vocals, haunting melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics, reflecting themes of personal growth, self-awareness, and breaking free from societal constraints. Joel Ekelöf’s emotive singing, combined with the band’s intricate instrumentation, creates an immersive listening experience. The song’s atmospheric build-up, dynamic shifts, and emotional intensity make it a standout track that resonates deeply with listeners.

With Lotus, Soen further cemented their reputation as a band that not only excels musically but also connects with their audience on a profound level. The song’s introspective lyrics and cinematic sound have made it a fan favorite, often praised for its balance between heaviness and melody. Whether you’re a long-time progressive metal fan or new to the genre, Lotus is a must-listen track that showcases Soen’s ability to craft deeply moving and musically rich compositions.
