Hope Is A Cult [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Solence sonically conjoin elements of metal, electronic, alternative, and pop, the Swedish group also appeal to an expansive swath of personalities with a universal message. Equally suitable for the mosh pit or Coachella, the band - Markus Videsäter [vocals], David "Viking" Vikingsson [drums], David Strääf [guitar] and Johan Swärd [keys] - rally around a familial energy meant to be shared as loudly as possible. After quietly generating north of 200 million streams and counting, they welcome everyone closer on their third full-length offering and Hopeless Records debut, 'Hope Is A Cult,' and more to come. "We want to build up this family around positivity, hope, and the belief you can change things," notes Markus. "We want you to forget everything that bothers you when you listen to this album. If we're doing our job, audiences feel like they're a part of it. When you go to a Solence show, you have a good time, so hope is a cult for us."
