The third installment of Sonic Syndicate’s Confessions vlog (Episode 3) sees new bassist Michel Barzen, who joins the band on a permanent basis after spending the past few years as a temporary fill in following the exit of Karin Axelsson, reflects on “finding music” while in the military for a short time. He relays a story of a rescue mission his platoon had to go on, only to find their rescue target dead in an ice patch. Michel also reveals that the release of expression is the most important thing about music to him.
Sonic Syndicate are finally back after a period of silence. The successful band from Falkenberg, Sweden was unexpectedly dropped by the record label Nuclear Blast and was forced reconsider their situation. The crisis forced the band to change it’s course significantly and they took the chance to record their most daring album yet. This time the members of the band took a deeper look into themselves which has led to some changes of the sound. On the new album Confessions, Sonic Syndicate lets the listener take part of their vulnerability through total uncompromising honesty in their songwriting and sound.
Aware that the bands “new start” may cause a lot of listeners to raise their eyebrows the band doesn’t fear the changes nor the future. The conviction that they’ve created a very strong album, the fact that they’re 100% happy with the music and the atmospere in and around the band has led to a revival worthy the envy of hungry debutants.
The new album Confessions will be released world wide October 14th via Despotz Records and followed up by a huge European tour together with Amaranthe and Smash Into Pieces called the Maximalsm European Tour where Sonic Syndicate will show the fans again what an exceptional live band they are, as they’ve already done in Europe, North America and Asia several times before during their career.
