Exploring New Horizons And New Releases - MARK From SOLENCE Brings Us Up To Speed

Electro metal group Solence frontman Markus Videsäter caught up with HEAVY's Ali Williams to chat about their upcoming release, Angels Calling, and the inevitable album tour. Originally from LA, these guys are now settled in Sweden in the hope of optimising their expansion. Solence formed back in 2012 and had initially released tracks in increments in a build-up to their first album, Brothers, back in 2019.
The success they saw from this catapulted them into the algorithm, which meant Spotify was kind to them, and we all know what happens when you scratch Spotify in the right place.
Making a significant amount of their music during the COVID epidemic had unprecedented results, none of which could be predicted. As Markus stated, Solence could see the numbers they had, but that didn’t transpire into the realisation that those numbers were real people actually digesting their music. So when they were invited to perform alongside Five Finger Death Punch, the band individually and collectively had their minds blown at the surreal nature of their growth.
Fast-forward to 2025, and Solence are locked in and serious about gaining more traction. Their latest release, Angels Calling, comes out on October 31 and will be available on all platforms. That date corresponds with the band's upcoming European tour that kicks off on November 7 and finishes up on December 6.
Markus informs us that after their tour, Solence have some exciting new plans for 2026, and although he stopped short of revealing what those plans were, he has strongly recommended fans stay tuned and keep a close eye on things.
