LA-based Swedish Electronic Metal group Solence are driven by “endless optimism” for their upcoming fifth album, Angels Calling, due out October 3, 2025 via Better Noise Music. The single and video for “Where Were You…?” is out now, alongside a video.
“‘Where Were You..?” is a song “about a friend letting you down when you needed them the most,” says guitarist David Strääf. However, he adds, “The song really keeps the tempo up with a big chorus, modern production and a very heavy, bouncy and genre bending breakdown!”
Solence will hit the road later this year for a European tour opening for Nothing More, which launches November 7 in Finland, along with Catch Your Breath and Ankor.

Solence focuses “all its energy on uplifting anyone in a dark state of mind to a brighter place.”
Frontman Markus Videsäter says:
Storytelling is a lot of fun. I write about motivation and how to get myself up in the morning. 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.
