Biography

Falkenberg, Sweden (2002 – present)

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

The band is now on hold.


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.

    Not really. While the formula itself was nothing new, they had a distinct sound to them. There are no bands whose overall sound is similar to Sonic Syndicate during the OI/LAOD era. The closest anyone has ever come to it are dEMOTIONAL, which has a couple songs that are quite similar, but whose overall sound is also fairly different.

    The albums are dull and repetitive, aside from a couple of songs. And stunningly unoriginal.

    But the "Only Ihnuman" was the best era....and of course the Eden Fire.

    I do hope they don't return to the OI/LAOD sound. Just please no.

    What purpose would that serve? I'm doing promotional work here. That means I have to spread the news. Besides, I already DID do that.

    That is not a dEMOTIONAL page, so please do me a favour, and shout his own page.

    I'm sure it will be WRTN 2, some poppy Metalcore shit. This band will never make real Metal again like Eden Fire or maybe Only Inhuman...

    I miss what they used to be and really hope for a good new album. :)

    I sure as hell hope it's not a WRTN 2. The riff sounded kinda Sybreed-esque. Would be kinda cool if they did something like that. With awesome synth of course. Otherwise, they should stick to the OI/LAOD style.

    All we can do is hope... the sample we got sounded sweet... although the sample isn't saying anything at all about the upcoming album but that it's in the process of making... You think they could make a new OI or LAOD? or will it be WRTN part2?

    So it's official. Sonic Syndicate are returning and are in the process of writing a new album... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QJcS60wFo9I Let's hope this one turns out more satisfying than the last one...

    So apparently Sonic Syndicate are starting up. I bet Jimmie joins them as a replacement for Richard. Now that he's just been fired from Dead by April and all...
