Anglo-Swedish modern metal powerhouse, Sonic Syndicate, have set October 14th as the release date for their new album, entitled Confessions, via Despotz Records.

The band have released the second in a series of five video blogs, which sees vocalist Nathan J. Biggs reminscing about his self confessed sordid past and apologizing to people he may have hurt in that time period, chalking things up to being a learning curve leading him to the present day. Focusing on the here and now he says he would like to concentrate on what he would like to leave as the frontman of Sonic Syndicate.

Check out parts one and two of Sonic Syndicate's video blog below.

The first single from Confessions, “Start A War”, will be released digitally on September 2nd. The album artwork can be seen below.

Says the band: “On October 14th we will release our brand new album, Confessions, to the world and we can not think of a better way of doing this than celebrating with you guys, our fans non-stop! With that said, we are excited to officially release that will be hitting the road with Amaranthe across Europe in late October / November.

“As most of you already know Amaranthe has a similar relationship with their fans, and we know together this going to be one of the most heartfelt and intimate tours ever. Musically we compliment each other to the point that the whole night will be an adventure for the crowd. Opening band, Smash Into Pieces also brings their own style. This isn't only going to be memorable, people will say this is how all tours should be.”
