Die Band kommentiert: "The most important thing is that this album is for us and our fans. To get recognition that it's doing well in the charts worldwide is the icing on the cake. We thank everyone out there who supports Sonic Syndicate by legally buying our new 'Self-Titled' release. You rock!"
Die Band hat kürzlich Video-Serie gestartet, in der sie über ihre Lieblingssongs des neuen, fünften Albums sprechen. Die neueste Episode zeigt Sänger Nathan James Biggs, wie er seinen Favoriten vorstellt:
Seht hier, welchen Track Robin Sjunnesson, Gitarrist und Songwriter der Truppe, am liebsten hört:
Erst kürzlich wurde das offizielle Video zur zweiten Single, 'Before You Finally Break', veröffentlicht. Das Video wurde vom bekannten Regisseur Patric Ullaeus (IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, CHILDREN OF BODOM, uvm) gedreht und zeigt zudem SOILWORK-Fronter Björn 'Speed' Strid als Gastsänger!

Fronter Nathan James Biggs kommentiert: „I'm honored to call Speed a friend. I've been a big SOILWORK fan for years. Those guys were a massive hand in crafting that trademark Swedish sound so it made perfect sense to ask Speed when we knew we wanted to do a song with guest vocals. Performance wise I think we have similar styles and execution, but at the same time we both have our own thing going on so the voices compliment each other to great effect. My idea was also to have a real battle between our vocals. I hate it when you have these "featuring" songs and the guest just pops up for a chorus and then does backing vocals for a while in the verse or something. This is a real fight between us for the mic and I'm sure people are gonna appreciate that.“
Bjorn “Speed” Strid fügt hinzu:
“Working with Sonic Syndicate is always a pleasure, whether it's in the studio, tour, or in a cool looking abandoned car shop in the industrial area of Gothenburg. I loved recording vocals on this song and especially being able to do somewhat of a duet with Nathan Biggs. He's a truly talented singer and a good friend. Doing the video was easy, fun and pretty intense at the same time. It turned out real sick.. Check it out!”

Gitarrist, Hauptsongwriter und Gründungsmitglied Robin Sjunnesson erklärt: "We decided to go with this one as a “Self-Titled” release. Mainly because as an album we have put everything we’ve got into it. All of our experience as musicians, the evolution of the music, the sound from all eras of the band, and also the road we have taken as people. This is us, this is Sonic Syndicate in all its beauty and destruction. It shows our strength, our love for melody, our scars, our energy. The cover art is a definite representation of that. In the background, a battle-torn city laid to waste, four figures emerging together with only each other to depend on in an environment so harsh, only those with a tough heart, body and soul can survive.
