Soen Post “Covenant” Music Video as a Big “F U” to the Church
Such is the sad state of the Christian church right now that upon seeing a member of the clergy and a young boy in the opening seconds of Soen’s new video for “Covenant,” my immediate thoughts were “Oh, man, what kind of sadistic abuse is this poor lad going to suffer at the hands of a religious figure in power?” While the clergyman isn’t as abusive towards the little one as he might be (although there are some hints of sexual interest), he’s definitely a real piece of shit… and I certainly didn’t see the plot twist coming, although perhaps I should’ve given the fact that this is, after all, a metal video.
Soen’s latest album Lotus is out now (stream here, order here) and it’s currently one of my favorites of 2019 so far. Don’t sleep on it! Watch the video, directed by RISK and Maxi Muniz and produced by Carolina Sosa, below. Upcoming tour dates underneath the video embed.
