Sometimes, the best thing you can do is take a step back, do something else, and come back when the stars are properly aligned again. That’s precisely what Sonic Syndicate did following the chaos caused by the departures of the Sjunnesson brothers, Richard and Roger, which left their cousin Robin the sole survivor of the original line-up. The various members of the band took this opportunity to recharge their batteries and focus on family life, as vocalist Nathan James Biggs told us. In the end, the break wasn’t all that long: the self-titled album, Sonic Syndicate, came out four years after We Rule The Night. It seems the band still has some musical inspiration left to share with their fans, without whom they probably wouldn’t have come back so soon.

The eponymous album is supported by a four-piece band – a layout that might leave some more breathing space to everyone. In any case, although the singer remains terribly enigmatic regarding the departure of Richard Sjunnesson, he’s convinced the band’s current form is for the best.
