Soen
Soen is a progressive metal supergroup consisting of various high-profile extreme metal musicians. Their debut album Cognitive was released on February 15, 2012.
History
Initially formed in 2004, it was in May 2010 that the formation of Soen was announced. The original lineup consisted of former Opeth drummer Martin Lopez, ex-Death, Testament and Sadus bassist Steve DiGiorgio, Willowtree vocalist Joel Ekelöf and guitarist Kim Platbarzdis. The group's first song, "Fraccions", was released on the band's official website in October 2010. Their first video, for the song "Savia", was posted on their Facebook page in February 2012. Their second video is a moody acoustic version of the song "Ideate". The band's third video is for the song "Delenda".
Music
Drummer Martin Lopez has described Soen's music as "melodic, heavy, intricate and very different than everything else." Their debut, Cognitive, was released in February 2012 receiving positive critical reception, the members' technical proficiency was praised the most, though many reviewers noted extreme stylistic similarities to the music of Tool.
Standing on the Edge of the Noise
Standing on the Edge of the Noise is a unique, intimate look at Oasis performing in their own space, instead of the huge stadium stages on which they are more often seen. The programme includes a mix of classics and new tracks from Dig Out Your Soul. It's a one-off live show that they played for a handful of fans in their rehearsal studio, as preparations for their 2008/2009 "Dig Out Your Soul Tour". It is also the name of a track on Oasis's successor band Beady Eye's debut album.
An edit for TV was shown on 4Music on 23 November 2008, and on Channel 4 on 29 November 2008.
"Standing on the Edge of the Noise" was also a song written by Gem Archer, released when Beady Eye included it on their debut album, 2011's Different Gear, Still Speeding.

Cognitive
by: SoenI am not aware of all the reasons, I am not deciding
the results
Sanctioned through the principles autonomously blessed
Moving clouds to get a clearer view
Misery s the key to all religion, power is the key to
every war
Time has taught me not to wait, what is mine I ll take
Eons of our past won't be returned
I was there to recognize the victim, cold and dry our
mother has been killed
Plundered by the greed of men aftermath descends
Our time is sliding out of reach
I don't even wanna try to become the one that will save
your halo
Everything that I denied every time that I lied, aware
of our failure
I'm not gonna follow your decision, it is the position
I retain
Everything once born will end, ashes be your name;
Bury me to set me free of shame
This is not the dust that we once came from, what we
are is how we will return
The sun is punishing our land, soil turns into sand
What we had in common has been cursed
I try not to reveal the guilt breeding in me
You are the scythe harvesting what is not yours, soon
won't be there anymore
I don't even wanna try to become the one that will save
your halo
Everything that I denied every time that I lied, aware
of our failure.
There's a new day
What we should share is noticed
What we inherited
The erasure of a life
Once so vital
Now dissected and dry
Throw the first stone
Then hide your hand
While pursuing your dream
Poisoning the essence of it all
I don't even wanna try
To become the one
That will save your halo.
