Despotz Records co-founder and managing partner Carl-Marcus Gidlöf commented on the band’s signing: “We at Despotz have recently taken the label international and have locked in fresh new exciting opportunities in North America with Sony / RED/Aisa. This signing further proves that our plan to work internationally, based here in Stockholm, directly with our artists combined with a strong PR/Marketing and distribution setup is the future of Despotz. Sonic Syndicate share our vision, we’ve already had a number of creative conversations and we’re looking towards an exciting future. We’re honoured to welcome Sonic Syndicate to the Despotz family.”

Vocalist Nathan J Biggs said: “As you could imagine we are super excited to be signing to Despotz Records based here in Stockholm, Sweden, we couldn’t imagine a better place to call home. When the possibility of us working together first came up with this modern, creative and forward thinking team we pretty much had our mind set that this was where we belong. This is an exciting new chapter for both Sonic Syndicate and Despotz.”
