The fifth – and final – episode in Sonic Syndicate’s Confessions video blog series sees the band members reflecting on certain aspects of the recording process as well as opening up to oneself about reality.
Vocalist Nathan J. Biggs speaks about the literal meaning of the word “confession” as well as the album title confirming that the band has reinvented themselves and how they’ve released old baggage by being honest with themselves for the purpose of moving forward.
Guitarist, Robin Sjunnesson testifies that the writing of Confessions was very open and honest while bassist Michel Barzen offered up, “now we know what direction we all want to go in [musically].”
Producer Kristoffer Folin contends that “Confessions is how the band should have always sounded. It’s as if they’ve come home.”
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 Syndicare 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 (the album’s first single “Start a War” is out now) 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.
