The charming quartet of high-energy Swedes is defined as much by their endless optimism as their boundless talent. Their upcoming fifth album, **ANGELS CALLING**, due out  **October 3** via **Better Noise Music**, combines big pop hooks and electro savvy with the heavy yet melodic intensity of trailblazing Swedish metal into a distinctive international sound equal parts hypnotic and uplifting. Pre-orders for **ANGELS CALLING**, which include an instant download of the first single “**Where Were You..?**” are available now at [https://solenceofficial.lnk.to/acalbum](https://maricmedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=727b0946ab3fa65fe60bec739&id=3e1e3ee743&e=c982cfcc7a)  “‘**Where Were You..?** is a fast and fun song about a friend letting you down when you needed them the most,” says guitarist **David Strääf**. “The song really keeps the tempo up with a big chorus, modern production and a very heavy, bouncy and genre bending breakdown!” **SOLENCE** returns with fresh visuals, a new look, and a retrofitted sound that combines the best of their past with a look into the future for both the group and the genre. “For some reason, I’ve always felt like my time on earth is limited, as if I might die young,” frontman **Markus Videsäter** explains. “Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.” Based out of **Los Angeles** and originally hailing from **Sweden**, **SOLENCE**’s lineup consists of frontman **Markus Videsäter **alongsideguitarist **David Strääf**, keyboardist **Johan Swärd**, and drummer **David “Viking” Vikingsson**.

So, yes, there’s still a lot of that. We bundle it up in a lot more energy and craziness. **ANGELS CALLING** is so cool. I love every single song. I’m so excited about how massive it feels.” **ANGELS CALLING** is the follow-up to their EP**BLUE MONDAY** (**Better Noise Music), **released this past January with three new songs: “**[F**k The Bad Vibes](https://maricmedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=727b0946ab3fa65fe60bec739&id=afb5e9a09e&e=c982cfcc7a)**,” “**[A Banger A Day Keeps The Doctor Away](https://maricmedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=727b0946ab3fa65fe60bec739&id=b82693ba6a&e=c982cfcc7a)**,” and “**[Who You Gonna Call?
