Swedish electronic metal band Solence released their new single Dead_Alive on June 27th, which is a preview of the band’s fifth full-length album Angels Calling. The album will be released on October 3rd, and will be being published by Better Noise Music. The first taste of the album was released last month in the form of the single Where Were You..?.
Dead_Alive continues the band’s darker line. It is also one of the band’s heavier songs, combining Solence’s signature combination of catchy pop melodies, electronic production and melodic metal. The song’s lyrics deal with the chaos of the world. Dead_Alive was released accompanied by a visualizer.
“Dead_Alive is one of the heaviest songs on the new album. We wanted to go all out with this one. The song depicts a world on fire, where people walk around as the living dead. The chorus really grabs the listener by the chest – we can’t wait for the fans to hear this!” says singer Markus Videsäter.

The band garnered widespread attention early in their career by making heavy versions of pop songs. The band rose to international fame with their debut album Brothers, released in 2019. The single Animal In Me, taken from their 2020 album Direction, became SiriusXM Octane’s most-played song and also made its way onto the Active Rock radio charts. Solence’s previous full-length Hope is a Cult was released in 2023.
