It is still a must for all Sonic Syndicate fans.
But I mean I'm proud to have "Eden fire" as our debut album and it shows whoever picked it up what Sonic Syndicate evolved from. Also the production maybe wasn't as good as we hoped for and that is a money issue as well. It's pretty far from what we sound today music wise except the three opening tracks that were the bands latest efforts at the time we recorded the album. And was probably the best album we could have done at that moment with the time / money that was available for us. Well it's a historical part of the band since it walks you through two of the early demos of the band (Extinction 2004 / Black lotus 2003). What do you think of your first release "Eden Fire" ? Among them Sonic Syndicate and somehow we managed to walk victorious out from that contest, what are the chances? The elite of German metal / hardrock magazines were recruited to act as jury for this event and 1,500 brave contestants of underground bands showed interest. Sure, In 2005 there was this big band contest thrown together by Nuclear blast to vote up one single band to get a contract with Nuclear blast. But I mean that's just about scratching the surface of what influenced us all in creating the music we play in Sonic Syndicate. I guess the quotient of bands we jointly listened to during the time we wrote the songs was: Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Soilwork, Bullet for my Valentine, Story of the Year, and All that remains. I mean in all that noise you pick up some fragments of inspiration and when you create music you just do your own rendering of whatever you picked up from that noise subconsciously. I can only talk for myself and I pretty much get influenced by all medias I interact with daily whether it is TV, radio, computer/console games or all the bands I just happened to listen to. Such a hard question for a person that listens to countless of bands everyday. Doesn't matter if it's by blood or a really strong friendship Sonic Syndicate is a big family and always will be even if it's just three of us that are genetically connected. Not one bit, seeing they are our family as well hehe. I guess we have a somewhat unconventional relationship in comparison to most other brothers.ĭon't you think that the other band members might feel a little bit outside the circle ?
Also I think we all are pretty diplomatic when it comes to conflicts so it's never a problem. I guess everyone knows each other's soft spots and simply don't touch that nerve in respect to the other person. We rarely have issues with each other but if we do we solve them pretty much instantly. We've all been working together since the band started also, so we are comfortable working together always. I think in some cases of other bands they wouldn't filter out these kind of crap details or musical flaws just to be nice to the composer which in turn would affect the band in a bad way. Like if any of us ever come up with a bad idea we just tell each other straight and there will never be any hard feelings what so ever. And that in turn favors the music greatly. Yes it is very relaxing and effective working with your own brothers, seeing as you can be so honest to each other. Is it easy to work inside a same family ? How do you manage the conflicts ? Your band has the specificity to have 3 brothers as members.
