结合优美精致的流畅旋律与时尚动听的音乐元素，

复兴传统旋律死亡金属的同时，更将新派内涵演绎到极致，

摘出时下年轻一代崇尚的融合信条，

这便是摩登旋律死亡金属的音乐宣言。

2002年由Richard Sjunnesson与Roger Sjunnesson两兄弟联合组建于瑞典Falkenberg的SONIC SYNDICATE便是摩登旋律死亡金属阵营中最激动人心的力量，同时受到本国前辈IN FLAMES、SOILWORK与美式金属核大咖KILLSWITCH ENGAGE影响的他们将融合与创新深深刺入当前的金属版图。

SONIC SYNDICATE的成员最初便拥有坚实的组队基础，在Tunes of Silence里面玩腻了传统重金属的他们转而以FALLEN ANGEL的名字发行了《Fall From Heaven》、《Black Lotus》以及《Extinction》三张小样，新派与传统的碰撞令人惊奇，乐队随后签约Pivotal Rockordings唱片公司并且推出首张作品《Eden Fire》。在处子作品中他们大胆地玩起了概念专辑的风格，展现出不俗的乐感与技术，成为当年瑞典最耀眼的新星。

在经过了密集的本地巡演之后，他们趁热打铁交出第二张录音室专辑《Only Inhuman》。专辑由瑞典摩登旋死实力派大佬SCAR SYMMETRY的当家吉他手Jonas Kjellgren担纲制作，短小精悍又美妙奇特的歌曲结构，独具匠心的清嗓编排，SONIC SYNDICATE走出了坚实的一步。而对于瑞典旋律死亡金属来说，《Only Inhuman》给当时大洋彼岸的美国金属核风暴一种有力的还击。藉此专辑的大获成功，乐队登上当年Wacken Open Air以及众多知名音乐节舞台，成为不可忽视的新兴力量。年底，在与AMON AMARTH一同完成巡演之后，乐队开始全力筹备新专辑。

2008年，他们的第三张专辑《Love and Other Disasters》成功地打入了Billboard的热力排行榜，音乐越发成熟的同时也更加注重气氛，专辑发行之后乐团获邀为芬兰金属天团NIGHTWISH的巡演开场。2010年，乐队发行曲风更加融合的《We Rule the Night》，专辑不仅邀请到了传奇制作人Toby Wright（曾为ALICE IN CHAINS、METALLICA以及KORN制作专辑）挎刀操盘，同时也是第一张全体成员均有创作贡献的作品。专辑呈现出了更加流畅的曲风与更市场化的音乐导向，在旋律死亡的基础上加入硬摇滚以及另类金属元素，成为SONIC SYNDICATE再次突破风格界限的明证。

时隔四年，乐队以最新力作、同名专辑《Sonic Syndicate》重回乐坛，专辑不仅请到SOILWORK的主唱Björn "Speed" Strid加盟献声，同时以包含SONIC SYNDICATE所有音乐精华的创作作品开启乐团历史新纪元。这个盛夏，SONIC SYNDICATE将联合迅猛无比的摩登声浪席卷中国，带来史无前例的新派旋死风暴！

When Modern Melodic Death Metal meets Metalcore，the Gothenburg sound has finally taken its crown back from the Americans, and the king’s new legion is led by SONIC SYNDICATE!!

It all started in 2002, when Roger, Richard, and thirteen-year-old Robin wanted to start a band together after taking a break from playing in various other bands. They found their new band then known as Fallen Angels and played heavy metal influenced by Iron Maiden and Helloween. Shortly after they released debut album, they changed their name to SONIC SYNDICATE. With their sound of Swedish melodic metal and American hardcore, the band’s sophomore releasehas started to prove that Sonic Syndicate is a band that will break everything in its path. This album has been compared worldwide to acts such as In Flames, Children of Bodom and Killswitch Engage. The band continues to prove  themselves with their high energy show in the national scene. Perhaps most notable was teaming up with bands such as Arch Enemy、Evergrey、Entombed and even Def Leppard in Sweden Rock Festival.

After their first album in Nucleat Blast Records they deliver another killer album. With producer Jonas Kjellgren(From Scar Symmetry), they had pushed their musical boundary further again, this is also the last album by the band to feature former singer Roland Johansson. 2 years later, they released new album. Produced by the legendary wizard Toby Wright(Alice in Chains、Metallica、Korn and so on), this album saw their music changing to another direction with more melodic elements and more commercial elements.

After one year’s hiatus, the band return with their new albumwith Björn "Speed" Strid from Soilwork adding to the vocalist. This album showed every aspect of SONIC SYNDICATE’s music. As the pioneer of Modern Melodic Death Metal wave they have always kept the most distinctive style and will explore the new area with their music. Now for the first time, they will explore CHINA with their weapon, so not only you will see SONIC SYNDICATE performing in CHINA but also feel Modern Melodic Death Metal Spirit with SONIC SYNDICATE!!!
