DARK TRANQUILLITY's latest album "Endtime Signals", came out in August 2024 via Century Media Records. Notably, "Endtime Signals" not only marked DARK TRANQUILLITY's thirteenth studio album, but also the band's tenth album collaboration with Century Media Records. It built on the success of previous releases such as "Atoma" (2016),which climbed up to No. 2 in the Swedish album charts, and "Moment" (2020),which earned the band a Swedish Grammis award.

"Endtime Signals" showcased DARK TRANQUILLITY's reinvigorated lineup, consisting of latest additions Joakim Strandberg Nilsson (drums) and Christian Jansson (bass) alongside Mikael Stanne (vocals),Martin Brändström (keyboards),Johan Reinholdz (guitars). It featured an eye-catching cover by founding DARK TRANQUILLITY guitarist Niklas Sundin and a "lived-in" production by Brändström (Rogue Music) and engineering by Alexander Backlund (Fascination Street Studios),as well as a mix and master by Jens Bogren (KREATOR, AT THE GATES).

SOEN's latest studio album, "Reliance", was released on January 16, 2026 via Silver Lining Music. The LP was produced, recorded and mixed by Alexander Backlund at Fascination Street Studios, and was mastered by Tony Lindgren.

With "Reliance", SOEN's seventh studio album, the Swedish progressive metal powerhouse, spearheaded by Joel Ekelöf (vocals) and Martin Lopez (drums),continue to find incredible new pathways into the spatial areas between light and dark, loud and calm, heavy and soothing. Honesty is what runs through the album's writing, where emotional gravity and raw power coexist without compromise. It's a duality that defines SOEN's sound — the willingness to confront darkness not for spectacle, but for truth.
