 With Lykaia, Soen have abandoned what they knew how to do best: powerful rhythms, frequent tempo changes, sudden drops in dynamics to then explode again in other unison riffs.

 Now they have transformed: the progressive component has been reduced and overall, the result is well-constructed and certainly well-played metal, but it leaves little room for anything else.

 Explore Soen's Lykaia and judge for yourself the shift in their progressive metal journey.

 The common denominator of all the CDs has been the lack of originality and faithfulness to Alice in Chains.

 My 3 stars indicate the technique and the enjoyment in listening to the fantastic group’s career products but in terms of originality, this latest 'effort' would deserve one star.

 Listen to Godsmack’s The Oracle to judge its powerful sound and decide if the evolution you seek is present.

 "Although the group is Italian, they have not created a monotonous album that only gives space to the singer."

 "'Ho imparato a sognare' is the song that, in my opinion, is worth the album: a beautiful musical background with an important message about dreams and motivation."

 Listen to Negrita's 'XXX' for a perfect blend of calm reflections and catchy rock vibes!
