Sonic Syndicate Biography
Living embodiments of music's uninhibited international exchange, Falkenburg, Sweden's Sonic Syndicate perform a commercial brand of metal mixed with hardcore that's most prevalent in America, but whose stylistic roots contain serious influences from the melodic death metal bands produced by Scandinavia ten years earlier. Formed in 2004 and comprised of double vocalists Richard Sjunnesson and Roland Johasson, guitarists Roger Sjunnesson and Robin Sjunnesson, bassist Karin Axlesson, and drummer John "Runken" Bengtsson, Sonic Syndicate debuted the following year with their Eden Fire CD, then signed with Nuclear Blast for the release of their second effort, Only Inhuman, in 2007. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
