The Swedish melodic metallers have had a fair few changes in the last years, both musically and in personnel…the upcoming album will be interesting.

From capitalising on the teen angst market to transforming their music into something a little more artistic and meaningful, Sonic Syndicate has been on a rollercoaster in their career.

The band will release their Despotz Records debut on October 14th, entitled ‘Confessions‘, and will signify a brand new start according to the band. They proceed to say:

“We have Confessions to get out to the world: On October 14th we will release our brand new album Confessions and we cannot think of a better way of doing it than to celebrate with our fans. With that said, we’re excited to officially reveal that we’ll be hitting the road with Amaranthe across Europe in October/November. Amaranthe has a similar relationship to their fans, and we know that this is going to be one of the most heartfelt and intimate tours ever. Opening band, Smash Into Pieces also brings their own style. Musically we complement each other to the point that the whole evening with all shows will be an adventure for the crowd. This isn’t only going to be memorable, people will say this is how all tours should be.”

I don’t know why I’ve always had a soft spot for this band, even though fan reaction to their music has been completely bi-polar. I’m interested to hear this. I really am.
