SOLENCE is creating some of the most adventurous music in contemporary music. Based out of Los Angeles and originally hailing from Sweden, they combine electronic music with trailblazing Swedish metal, adding in pop and hip-hop flavors along the way, in uplifting songs that possess a bold outlook on life. The result? A thrilling sound that’s the aural equivalent of riding on the steepest and most winding rollercoaster ever. It’s all evident on their new album "ANGELS CALLING", released today (October 31) via Better Noise Music and featuring its latest single/video “Monsters In My Head.”
“It’s the story of battling with your own thoughts and demons”, says singer Markus Videsäter of the album’s fifth single, “Monsters In My Head”. “The feeling of lying in bed at night and yet again the thoughts are spinning, your old mistakes getting played over and over again. This song also includes a new sound for us—country-inspired acoustic guitar, different tempo, and a chorus that’s impossible to get out of your head. It was super fun writing and working on!”
SOLENCE—frontman Markus Videsäter alongside guitarist David Strääf, keyboardist Johan Swärd, and drummer David “Viking” Vikingsson—return on "ANGELS CALLING" with fresh visuals, a new look, and a retrofitted sound that combines the best of their past with a look into the future for both the group and the genre.
“Our music is all about living in the moment and not taking anything for granted, and listening to angels that follow their every move”, Markus points out. “Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.”
In an early album review, Moshly.com called "ANGELS CALLING" “…easily Solence’s best work yet.” And about “Dead_Alive”, Glassefactory.com praised, “Using a plethora of sonic elements such as heavy drums, powerful guitar solos and a subtle, yet highly effective bassline to accompany the highly thoughtful lyrics, SOLENCE takes us on a one of a kind journey through their soundscapes.”
Lauded as one of Pandora’s “Rising Rock Artists To Watch In 2023,” SOLENCE have, to date, garnered over 378 million cumulative streams with as many as 862k monthly Spotify listeners and over 100 million video views since their formation in 2012.
The band started by releasing heavy renditions of well-known pop hits from the likes of Imagine Dragons, Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears, and Queen before breaking out with their 2019 debut album "BROTHERS". It was quickly followed by their sophomore album "DIRECTION" which saw them achieve their first Active Rock radio charting with “Animal In Me” which became SiriusXM Octane’s most-played track in 2020. Octane’s Sr. Director, Music Programming Vincent Usuriello described SOLENCE’s sound as “a dynamic fusion of rock, metal, and pop elements, with powerful vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and infectious melodies, creating an immersive sonic experience”. In 2021, SOLENCE released their third album, "DEAFENING", which showed their range of inspirations from music to anime, gaming, sci-fi, and even philosophy and soon followed with their fourth album "HOPE IS A CULT" in 2023. Amidst writing new material for SOLENCE, Videsäter and Strääf have lent their songwriting skills to pop acts including Jason Derulo and Bebe Rexha.
SOLENCE will hit the road later this year for a European tour opening for NOTHING MORE, along with Catch Your Breath and Ankor.
