I
know Sonic Syndicate from the "Black Lotus"
days back in 2003 when they had another name. I don't know
why but the band "forget" to send me the 2004 EPwith
the title "Extinction" and suddenly i receive
a package from Sweden with the debut album of Sonic Syndicate
which released before one week through Pivotal Rage
Records. In this album the band include ten tracks
of pure melodic death metal tunes. Melodic death metal only
in the music section, because Richard did his best
to perform as much extreme vocals as he can. Spotted in the
whole album the band had used some female backing vocals just
for a change and in order to be more interesting the final
result of "Eden Fire". Because all the members
from Sonic Syndicate are young, if i am not mistaken
the oldest is only 22, they have various influences from the
death metal scene but their main influences comes from In
Flames, Dark Tranquility and Soilwork.
Believe me i don't know if Sonic Syndicate have something
to add to the metal scene but at least in my ears they sound
with a fresh atmosphere and i am sure that if they will continue
to work hard then we can say that Sonic Syndicate is
the future of Swedish death metal scene. It is needless to
say that their compositions are well worked with interesting
ideas and here we have a massive production with a very clear
sound. If you like the death metal you can check the stuff
from Sonic Syndicate.
