Audible Crew.

If you get the meaning of the title, 10 points for you. If you don't, then might as well not try. Oh well, here we go.

I first heard this band back when I started to get into metal, which was around 3 or 4 years ago. I first heard their Eden Fire album and it blew me away. I then continued to listen to their second album, Only Inhuman, and it brought me total satisfaction. After that, I heard their latest album Love and Other Disasters and that was the only album I would listen to throughout all of last year. I couldn't get enough. That band is Sonic Syndicate.

Sonic Syndicate is a melodic death metal band from Sweden.
Before you start to think "Oh pfft, it's a band where they yell and scream the whole time and you can't understand anything," you should check out some songs first. Yes, they do have a couple of songs that do that but they also have their share of ballads. For example, the song Contradiction from their latest album talks about past regrets and memories that are trapped in your mind and have no way to remove them. This song will help you in a time of need. Other times, when you just want to get up and go insane, you can listen to Lament of Innocence or Hellgate Worcester. In general, Sonic Syndicate packs a punch and can kick your ass whenever you need an ass kicking.

Overall, I give this band 8 out of 10. I would give them 9 or a tad higher, but they have one disappointing fact. The band is made of 6 band members, 2 vocalists + 2 guitars + drummer + bassist. In their last 3 albums, their main vocalists was Roland Johansson, but due to touring issues, he had to leave the band. When that was announced, S.S. fans all around the world were crushed. We all loved Roland's harsh vocals and realizing he left broke us all apart. They now have a new vocalist, Nathan James Biggs. I guess he's a good replacement, but he isn't Roland. Biggs still does a good job taking the spot as lead vocals. There has been 3 singles out that has Biggs singing, and I guess he's a good replacement.

So, check this band out if you want to spice up your music variety, it's worth it. Visit their website, http://www.mngmusic.net/sonicsyndicate/index.html , if you want to know more information on this band. You can also buy their 3 albums, Eden Fire, Only Inhuman, and Love and Other Disasters in their website. Their new album, We Rule The Night, will be released August of this year.

Well, thats all for this band. Again, if you want to start punching walls, listen to this band, it'll get you hyped up and actually do it. They're also a good band to listen to while working out, I know from experience. Well, until next time, goodbye.

(P.S. I might as well end each post that the finisher. Eh, whatever.)
