Sonic Syndicate is a six-piece band from Falkenberg, Sweden who have strong influences from Swedish bands such as In Flames and Soilwork.

Originally formed in 2002 under the name Fallen Angels, by Richard, Roger and Robin Sjunnesson they recorded three demos, Fall from Heaven, Black Lotus and Extinction.

In 2005 they changed their name to Sonic Syndicate, signed with Pivotal Rockordings, and recorded their debut studio album, Eden Fire.

Following tours with Avatar, Himsa, and Amon Amarth, the band entered a contest held by Nuclear Blast Records along with nearly 1500 other entrants. Sonic Syndicate was one of the three winners and was offered a recording contract with Nuclear Blast. After working at Black Lounge Studios with producer Jonas Kjellgren (also guitarist for Scar Symmetry), Sonic Syndicate released Only Inhuman on May 18, 2007. A video for the single “Denied” soon followed, directed by Patric Ullaeus.

Due to their success under Nuclear Blast, vocalists Richard and Roland also managed to earn a song on the Nuclear Blast Allstar album titled Out of the Dark, accompanied by vocalists such as Anders Friden of In Flames, Bjorn Strid of Soilwork, and many others.

Sonic Syndicate played at the Wacken Open Air Festival 2007 and several other European festivals. In the winter of 2007, accompanied Amon Amarth as they toured th US. The band participated in the “Darkness over X-Mas Tour” with Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn, and toured extensively across Europe with Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork. In May 2008 they returned to America supporting Nightwish.

    TobbeBI, if you actually know what emo music is, why do you call bands like SS emo? I don't care if you don't like them, and they are certainly not my favorite band, but there are so many people out there who call everything that is death metal, black metal och metalcore for emo nowadays and that really pisses me of. The term emo has become something so far away from what it really is...so please, as you actually seem to know things about music, stop spreading the wrong meaning of the word emo around.

    There is no such term as Kid-metal and your music taste is not relevant to your maturity. A person can listen to both metal and indie and still know metal. Only idiots bash bands just to piss people off. Sonic Syndicate is neither MDM nor Emo, Now, please gtfo.

    wtf, guys, please fight each other everywhere you want, but not here oO furthermore many bands are different genres, so silverstein for example is emo-core, screamo and hardcore.

    The last sentence didn't make any sence, fyi. There's no need to be rude in a conversation, you know. I listen to music as long as it is great in my ears. Doesnt matter if its pop, metal or grindcore. You miss out way to much great music if you snow yourself in with only one genre. To call yourself a metalhead or an indiekid or even an emokid must be the among the most pathetic thing you can do. Just proves that one got some kind of identity-crises. I had my metalyears, and i still enjoy listening to some nice metal every once in a while, but to call Sonic Syndicate metal and even listen to this crap. THAT is not showing respect to the real metal genre. And yes, i have had my time with real emo such as Moss Icon, Silver Bearing, Indian Summer, Hour of the Star, Antioch Arrow, Still life and so on. i just call Sonic Syndicate emo to provoke kids who obviously can't live with their favourite band being critizised. Its to fun to miss out. I AM SO AMUSED!

    Yes, really 19 after all. And what do you mean by kidmetal? As I Lay Dying, At The Gates, DT and Parkway Drive for example are pretty much more metal then Håkan Hellström and that other pop and indie music you listen to...I actually don't understand how anyone can listen to both Hellström and Totalt Jävla Mörker, ATG, COB at the same time. I mean please, show metal and hardrock some respect... I'm not gonna comment emo again as you obviously don't understand what anybody here is telling you about emomusic. Actually, indierock is much more alike emo then Devil Wears Prada and other metalcore bands. Listen to bands lie Texas is the reason to hear some real emo(they are much better then Fall Out Boy) And why shouldn't I make personal attacks, we are persons after all.

    Haha, just the fact that you're using personal attacks shows the intellectual level of your mind. Im not gonna sit here wasting my time and argue with someone who listens to kidmetal and emomusic while acctually being 19 years old. And seriously, "your mom"-attacks? Really 19 after all? A word of advice: Grow up already :)
