Solence (@solenceofficial) 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.” The album is available HERE, listen to it HERE, and watch the video HERE.
“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!”
“So I cross my heart and I hope to die
I have never given up and I won’t start now
Taste so sweet but I won’t back down
Show you all who’s the monster now”
–“Monsters In My Head”
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.”
