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 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.”

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.”
