2006-07-07 - The winner of the Nuclear Blast Bandcontest is finally found! <br>Flashback: In the late summer of 2005, Nuclear Blast called up a giant competition, the so-called &quot;Bandcontest&quot;.

Months of listening to demos in front of the stereo and endless discussions followed. Now, half a year later - the winners are chosen! We are proud to present you <strong><a href="http://www.nuclearblast.de/band_showa.php?artist=726" target="_blank">SONIC SYNDICATE</a></strong> from Falkenberg/Sweden! The six musicians (on average 20 years young!) come out on top of the competitors. <br><br>&quot;We&acute;re proud to have filtrated such a killer band out of more than 1.500 candidacies! The perfect mixture of heavyness, melodies and the factor X!&quot; - Markus Staiger, President of NUCLEAR BLAST <br><br>17 year old guitar player Robin Sjunnesson about winning the band contest:<br>&quot;<a href="http://www.nuclearblast.de/band_showa.php?artist=726" target="_blank"><strong>SONIC SYNDICATE</strong></a> on NUCLEAR BLAST, what a fucking dream! Who knew back in 2005 that one day we would be getting a call from one of the biggest and best metal labels in the world? We have now been given this amazing chance to record an album and now its time for us to hit the rehearsal room and start writing some of the most kick ass songs we have ever written!&quot;<br>The band plans to enter a studio in December 2006, in order to record their NUCLEAR BLAST label debut for an early 2007 release.
