“FORTUNE“ is taken from a very special concert film, ATLANTIS, which features thirteen of SOEN’s most popular compositions reinterpreted with live orchestral accompaniment and the fantastic rendition of Slipknot's “Snuff“. The full concert is set for release on November 18 2022 via Silver Lining Music.

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.

These guys are truly masters of combining emotion and strength, power and atmosphere in their own unique way” – SONIC PERSPECTIVES “ATLANTIS is a deep dive into SOEN's artistic soul” – A&P REACTS “Intimate, prog and atmospheric” – ROCK HARD ITALY “Not so much a different spin but emphatically one that adds a new and enlightening perspective and dimension to the Soen catalogue” – POWER PLAY “Starring on 'Atlantis' is guitarist Cody Lee Ford, who comes up with one beautiful solo after another.” - AARDSHOK ATLANTIS was recorded by David Castillo and Iñaki Marconi, mixed by Castillo, and mastered by Tony Lindgren.
