Solence announce new video “Angels Calling” out today

Electronic metal group Solence (@solenceofficial) are as bold as ever on their new single “Angels Calling,” an anthemic song about livingout loud and in the moment.  Released today (September 26), it’s the title track of, and fourth single from, their “ANGELS CALLING” album, now due  October 31 via Better Noise Music.Listen to the track HEREand view the video HERE. Pre-orders for the album are available HERE.

Solence—frontman Markus Videsäter alongside guitarist David Strääf, keyboardist Johan Swärd, and drummer David “Viking” Vikingsson—is based out of Los Angeles and originally hail from Sweden. They deploy big pop hooks and electro savvy with the heavy yet melodic intensity of trailblazing Swedish metal into a distinctive international sound equal parts hypnotic and uplifting.

We started writing ‘Angels Calling’ while on tour with The HU back in 2024, inspired by Eastern European folk music. When we had the vocals and the song started to come together, it instantly felt like a perfect title track. This song has everything—the lyrics, the energy, the chorus, the breakdown—everything we wanted the album to include. We really hope the fans enjoy it as much as we do!

Solence returns 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.

For some reason, I’ve always felt like my time on earth is limited, as if I might die young. Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.

Markus Videsäter

With songs like “Monsters in My Head,” “MESS,” “All of the Pain Must Go,” and the title track, the band forms a diverse collection of their most highly charged material yet. “We are now the hype squad and the party train,” smiles guitarist David Strääf.

Each member began playing music at a young age: Markus played the trumpet, David the violin, Johan the bassoon, and Viking the drums.

I knew music was what I wanted to do when I was seven. I went to music school, where I met the band. We shared the drive to create. That’s the spirit that started this band. The goal was to keep moving, no matter what direction we went. Markus Videsäter

Lauded as one of Pandora’s “Rising Rock Artists To Watch In 2023,” Solence have to date garnered over 370 million cumulative streams, over 940k monthly Spotify listeners, and over 96 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.

In 2025, Solence continues to spread its life-affirming message.

‘Until I hear the ‘Angels Calling’ reminds us that life is way too short to worry about doubt or making mistakes. We never know when our time is up, so let’s make the most of it while we can! Markus Videsäter
