ABOUT SOLENCE
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.”

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.

“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”

Electronic metal group SOLENCE are as bold as ever on their new single “Angels Calling,” an anthemic song about living out loud and in the moment.  Released on 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 HERE and 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,” explains singer Markus Videsäter. “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!”

“Angels Calling” follows up on the August 8 release of “Wish You The Worst.” Listen to the track here HERE and watch the video HERE. “Where Were You..?” came first on May 13, available for streaming and downloading HERE, and the lyric video can be viewed HERE. “Dead_Alive” followed June 27.

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,” Videsäter explains. “Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.”

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,” Markus says. “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.”

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.

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,” Markus points out. “We never know when our time is up, so let’s make the most of it while we can!”

SOLENCE will hit the road later this year for a European tour opening for NOTHING MORE, which launches November 7 in Finland, along with Catch Your Breath and Ankor. General tickets are available now on their official website.

Swedish electronic metal group SOLENCE is defined as much by their endless optimism as their boundless talent. For “Dead_Alive”—the blazing new single from their upcoming fifth album ANGELS CALLING, due out October 3 via Better Noise Music—they take an especially bracing lyrical turn. On the track, released today (June 27), they confront societal chaos and hold out hope by urgently singing lines like “Zombified, we need to stop the bleeding/Living like we’re dead alive.” The music is signature SOLENCE: they combine 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.

Dead alive, yeah we are barely breathing
Waiting for the world to die
Zombified, we need to stop the bleeding
Living like we’re dead alive
— “Dead_Alive”

Listen to “Dead_Alive” HERE and watch the lyric video HERE. Pre-orders for ANGELS CALLING are available HERE.

As frontman Markus Videsäter says, “‘Dead_Alive’ is probably one of the heaviest songs on ANGELS CALLING. We really wanted to go full on with this one. The song itself is about a world on fire where instead of acting on it we all walk around like we’re ‘Dead  Alive.’ Think this is one of the most powerful choruses we’ve written to date, really excited for people to hear this!”

“Dead_Alive” is the follow-up to the album’s first single, “Where Were You..?” which was released May 13 as an instant download with pre-orders of the album HERE. The visualizer for “Where Were You..?” can be seen on Better Noise Music’s official YouTube page HERE.

The world can be cruel, but electronic metal group SOLENCE offers a simple cure. The charming quartet of high-energy Swedes is defined as much by their endless optimism as their boundless talent. Their upcoming fifth album, ANGELS CALLING, due out October 3 via Better Noise Music, combines 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.

Pre-orders for ANGELS CALLING, which include an instant download of the first single “Where Were You..?” are available today (May 16) HERE. The video can now be seen on Better Noise Music’s official YouTube page HERE.

SOLENCE will hit the road later this year for a European tour opening for Nothing More, which launches November 7 in Finland, along with Catch Your Breath and Ankor. General tickets will be available on Friday, May 16 at 10am CET on their official website.

“‘Where Were You..? is a fast and fun song about a friend letting you down when you needed them the most,” says guitarist David Strääf. “The song really keeps the tempo up with a big chorus, modern production and a very heavy, bouncy and genre bending breakdown!”

SOLENCE returns 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,” frontman Markus Videsäter explains. “Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.”

“Storytelling is a lot of fun,” he continues. “I write about motivation and how to get myself up in the morning. So, yes, there’s still a lot of that. We bundle it up in a lot more energy and craziness. ANGELS CALLING is so cool. I love every single song. I’m so excited about how massive it feels.”

ANGELS CALLING is the follow-up to their EP BLUE MONDAY (Better Noise Music), released this past January with three new songs: “F**k The Bad Vibes,” “A Banger A Day Keeps The Doctor Away,” and “Who You Gonna Call? (Solence),” which Houston Chronicle highlighted in their “Top 50 Best Underground Music Videos of 2024” list.

Lauded as one of Pandora’s “Rising Rock Artists To Watch In 2023,” SOLENCE have to date garnered over 358 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,” Markus Videsäter points out. “We never know when our time is up, so let’s make the most of it while we can!”
