The band is now on hold.
Originally formed in 2002 under the name Fallen Angels, by Richard, Roger and Robin Sjunnesson. They recorded three demos, Fall from Heaven, Black Lotus and Extinction.
In 2005 they changed their name to Sonic Syndicate, signed with Pivotal Rockordings, and recorded their debut studio album, Eden Fire.
Following tours with Avatar, Himsa, and Amon Amarth, the band entered a contest held by Nuclear Blast Records along with nearly 1500 other entrants. Sonic Syndicate was one of the three winners and was offered a recording contract with Nuclear Blast. After working at Black Lounge Studios with producer Jonas Kjellgren (also guitarist for Scar Symmetry), Sonic Syndicate released Only Inhuman on May 18, 2007. A video for the single "Denied" soon followed, directed by Patric Ullaeus.
Due to their success under Nuclear Blast, vocalists Richard and Roland also managed to earn a song on the Nuclear Blast Allstar album titled Out of the Dark, accompanied by vocalists such as Anders Friden of In Flames, Bjorn Strid of Soilwork, and many others.
Sonic Syndicate played at the Wacken Open Air Festival 2007 and several other European festivals. In the winter of 2007, accompanied Amon Amarth as they toured th US. The band participated in the "Darkness over X-Mas Tour" with Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn, and toured extensively across Europe with Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork. In May 2008 they returned to America supporting Nightwish.
The band started the recording process of their third studio album Love And Other Disasters on March 16, 2008, which was released on Nuclear Blast on September 19, 2008. The first single, "Jack of Diamonds," is accompanied by a video again from Patric Ullaeus who later directed "My Escape" the second single from Love And Other Disasters. At the end of the year, the band toured Germany and Scandinavia and began work on videos for "Power Shift" and "Contradiction". The video for "Power Shift" was released on February 18 2008 on the band's MySpace and Official website.
March 30th 2009 Sonic Syndicate regrets to announce,
that Roland has decided to leave Sonic Syndicate due to personal reasons. He continues to sing along with the band in all confirmed shows, so there'd be time to find a good replacement.

My Soul In #000000
Sonic Syndicate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see her eyes so clear
The soul survivor of now past emotions
Will I ever find her now?
Why am I out of control?
Do I have to fall asleep to meet you again?
The last night I ever
That night the soul harvester came to me
WRAP ME UP IN THE BLACK NOISE OF THIS ROOM
TAKE ME WHERE MY SOUL SHADOW BURN IN ITS TOMB
STIR THE FEELINGS FROM THE PAST
I'LL MAKE SURE ALL HOPE WILL LAST
UNTIL MY SOUL FADES TO BLACK
Wake up in cold sweat
From the everlasting dark
The fight for my mind has begun now
Another dreamless night
Another night without you
Please come back and let me taste yesterday
The lyrics of Sonic Syndicate's song "My Soul In #000000" portrays a sense of longing for a lost love that the lead singer is finding difficult to forget. In his dreams, he still sees her eyes so clear, but in reality, he does not know if he will ever find her again. He feels out of control and wonders if he has to fall asleep to meet her again. He remembers the last night he ever dreamt about her and how the soul harvester came to him that night. He is looking for closure and is hopeful that the feelings from the past will help him keep hope alive until his soul fades to black.
The chorus of the song "My Soul In #000000" suggests that the lead singer wants to be enveloped by darkness and taken to where his soul shadow will burn in its tomb. He wants to stir the feelings from the past and make sure that all hope will last until his soul fades to black. However, he wakes up in cold sweat from a dreamless night without her, and the fight for his mind has now begun. He pleads for her to come back and let him taste yesterday.
Overall, the song "My Soul In #000000" is an emotional cry for help from someone who is struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one. The lyrics suggest a hopelessness for the situation and a longing to be taken to the darkness where he can find solace. The song ends with a plea for his love to come back and give him closure.
Line by Line Meaning
In my desolate dreams
During my saddest dreams
I see her eyes so clear
I clearly see the eyes of the woman I'm picturing
The soul survivor of now past emotions
The only thing left after my past emotions are gone is my soul
Will I ever find her now?
Will I ever be able to find the woman I imagined?
Why am I out of control?
Why can't I control myself?
Do I have to fall asleep to meet you again?
Is the only way to see you again to fall asleep?
The last night I ever
The last night where I was
Dreamt about you
dreaming of you
That night the soul harvester came to me
That night I dreamed of a grim reaper who took souls
WRAP ME UP IN THE BLACK NOISE OF THIS ROOM
Engulf me in the darkness of this room's sound
TAKE ME WHERE MY SOUL SHADOW BURN IN ITS TOMB
Take me to the place where my soul's shadow dissipates
STIR THE FEELINGS FROM THE PAST
Bring back the feelings of the past
I'LL MAKE SURE ALL HOPE WILL LAST
I promise to keep hope alive
UNTIL MY SOUL FADES TO BLACK
Until I die or lose all emotion
Wake up in cold sweat
Wake up with a sudden shock
From the everlasting dark
From the perpetual darkness
The fight for my mind has begun now
The battle for my sanity has started
Another dreamless night
Another night without dreaming of you
Another night without you
Another night where you're not with me
Please come back and let me taste yesterday
Please return to me so I can relive the past

Can’t believe I forgot about this song. So crazy that some are their absolute best tracks. This, mission undertaker, and the Freeman was unreleased for so long up until about a year ago. I don’t like the new version as much but still amazing
