SONIC SYNDICATE -- Making of „My Own Life"

[ShyCassii]

WTF! why are there dislikes :o

[darks1deskill]

he likes to say Big ass :o

[SergeantSnort]

sempre più TAMARRI :)

[Magicus7]

he`s running away from roland xD

[Intelchile]

KARIN I LOVE YOU

[777jimm]

Damn Karins hot

[Ikkiku]

But i've actually changed my mind about Break of Day. It is a pretty good song.

The verses are awesome. It's only the chorus that is not as good as before.

Most of the choruses suck now, btw...

[StefanLamy]

robin awesome!

[MadCrokodile1]

Nathan! <33 :)

[Sbaton]

Richard should have short hair, saw them in Gävle @ Getaway rock this year and he had longer hair than it lookt like on pic, dont like it at all:/ but still... Sonic rules! :D <3

[megapunchx2]

Gawd Richard needs to cut his hair, it was awesome when it was cut short.

Karin's soooo hot, dang Richard's lucky.

Roger's the 1 that looks good with the long hair.

[btzoulko]

@megapunchx2 i think robin looks the best with his hair

[mgvortex66]

@megapunchx2 What the fuck he's with her? I thought she was a lesbian.

[Chikaplouw]

he's running away from good SS :s

[INSINDIARYFilms]

Nathan's hair is way too long...

[Bullettear666]

to karin: i hate ppl who are just plain stupid perverts on the internet but if i dont do this i feel like i would betray the animal in me so here it is "caan i plz have teh secks wit u" xD

[dirtydjagent616]

Awesome! fucking love new sonic this is amazing music and beautiful and its gonna be a wicked album with variety! Cant wait!

[macin1991]

omg richard what has happened to you.

[Tommen1994]

Karin i want to fuck you! :O 

[Massoel93]

i want to hold the new album on my hands =(((

[Metal4everAndAlways1]

fucking awesome! and karin is hot as fuck.

[Lunarcheese72]

sonic syndicate really shit the bad. Eden Fire was awesome, but somehow they managed to get worse with every successive album. fuck.

[VirusalInfection]

@Lunarcheese72 better with every successive album.* there you go, fixed it. This is a ballad, don't expect it to be all hardcore AWRWARAWHRWAHRHWA crap. I love this song, although it's not Sonic Syndicate-like, it's awesome.

[Lunarcheese72]

@VirusalInfection no, it's not. go listen to backstreet boys if you like this kind of music. seriously. you're obviously not a fan of metal.

[MultiBiertrinker]

THE NEW SONG IS AWESOME <3

[Trazzox]

This is a fuckin' Metal Ballad. Whoever calls it a pop song should go back to school, 'cause you've got no fuckin' idea what pop is. YES, it's a major fuckin' change. They changed singer, now they've got someone that can do both calm song, and frickin' hardcore songs. @swrb6 The drummer, John, is the same dude.

[Chikaplouw]

@Trazzox he sucks at hardcore songs, so he can fuck off.

[Trazzox]

@Chikaplouw Dude, Sonic Syndicate ISN'T even a hardcore band, so no shit he sucks at the hardcore songs? You brilliant jackass.

[AaronClarity]

omg karin's soooooo hot <3

[clarkysixx]

ENCLAVE vs MY OWN LIFE, vote guys, what song is better (feeling inside) I want to know!!!! enclave is metal ballad, my own life is a pop comun happy song like 1000000 that I heard, enlcave, my scape are two song that make me feel and identificated, but my own life make me feel awful coz they are not SONIC SYNDICATE (no more)

[swrb6]

did they get a new drummer and what band did roland join?

[clarkysixx]

@swrb6 Roland make his own band called DODGE you can get the link if want lookin for in myspace

[Ikkiku]

@jer666888

He's probably saving for longer hair.

You know, which is common in rock and metal...

You don't have instantly long hair.

[freakingtall]

Guys get over it. SS always puts a ballad in their albums, remember Enclave? This doesnt mean the whole album is gonna be this way.

[VanDerLoh]

this song sounds simple plan-ish!!! I hope they're keeping the bad ass songs behind the curtains! If nt, this band kinda let me down aft the change. :( although burn and rebellion was pretty decent.

[Jarrak]

Shit band is shit.

[Ikkiku]

@Jarrak

Idiot is idiot.

[KatarinaHazzeloda]

@Jarrak

Are you stupit man???

[Jarrak]

@KatarinaHazzeloda Says the spak who can't even spell "Stupid" correctly.

[Ikkiku]

@Jarrak

So you never even concidered that it could be a simple typo?

[vinihardy]

Man Karin is so HOT

[XabarasIAm]

dancing in the rain? XD

[mremzi94]

when the fuck is this video gonna come out then..when i die O.O

[TheRedEyedFriend]

@mremzi94 tomorrow;D

[Aolian]

who the fuck is this gay band and why are they on nuclear blast. what the fuck.

[Topazzi]

@Aolian You must be stupid if you never heard of Sonic Syndicate before, check out their albums "Eden Fire" and "Only Inhuman", then you might understand why they are on Nuclear Blast

[SoloLudmy]

Cut Ur Hair !!!! >.<

[Pieni156]

@SoloLudmy lol. I agree. In the promo shots of the beginning of the year he looked like that kid from Tokyo Hotel -.-

At least his voice sounds better now, more controlled, and he still kicks ass on stage. But his hair... doesn't his girlfriend have a scissor?! Geez!

[Ikkiku]

@SoloLudmy

Well he has cut his hair now..

[HumiIiation]

@SoloLudmy yes nathan should :P

[thommeeh]

Richard is ugly now man, he should keep his hair short. But well, it doesn't matter.

[fekyati]

BIG ASS EVERTYTHING

[Pieni156]

@clarkysixx the "old" songs were, are and will ever be amazing. The thing is that they explored that sound to its max (imho, that is). I mean, if they continued doing that, it wouldn't sound fresh anymore, it would be all the same. I'm glad they changed. And remember that the singles are always the most commercial ones - they have to eat, you know? ;-) "enclave" and "my escape" were also singles. Let's see what the WHOLE new album will bring us.

[Pieni156]

Soooo... Rob and Roger become rock stars, Karin becomes a super model... and Rich loses his girlfriend?! What the hell of a new life is that?!

[Chikaplouw]

@Pieni156 Karin becoming a super model isn't bad at all though! She is hawt as feck.

[Pieni156]

@Chikaplouw Exactly what I was saying: a happy ending for everybody ;-) And Rich doesn't loose his girl after all, so it's all cool :-)

[inflamesfan03091993]

This already sounds a lot better that Revolution Baby. Of course this is soft stuff, but they've always had some soft ones on their albums. And this song has waaaaaay better singing than RB... So yeah... We'll see how it goes...

[Fahrow]

i think that this album will be my favourite for years to come tbh, with the mix of heavy and soft. Sounds absolutely fantastic so far.

Let the band express themselves as they wish, just like you would do what you want in their situation.

Everyone is saying that they sold out and they only do what will sound good on a radio. Read a few interviews, the band are doing what they want, i say stop being bitchy.

[95didde]

did Patric Ullaeus direct the video for Power Shift? cus that video is so different from the others. with headbanging and cool effects. this stuff like Revolution, baby, Burn this city, and My own life is just lame and pointless! PLEASE let the next video be more like power shift! and just one more thing wouldnt it be awesome with a sonic syndicate song with growl in it? i mean that kind of growl like for example Scream aim fire by Bulle for my valentine?

[klunymaster]

@95didde I think Patric wasnt the director of the Powershift video cuz he uses some badasss thing like in the background of Jack of Diamonds video.

If his name doesnt appear at the beginning of the video:

a) He didnt work on the video

b)Someone edited the video

[95didde]

@klunymaster i checked it up and patric made all sonics videos exept Power Shift and Contraction they were directed by some guy called Marius Böttcher. they should use marius for all their videos! conctraction werent that cool thou...

[AVP2SLAYER]

burn this city and rebellion in nightmareland was good but this :s wtf has happend? hope this is the only song in there new album that is like this :s

[Gorotth]

WTF is what about? backstreet boys? dancing in the rain lol... metal ? where?

[dhinge]

Ah, the soothing sounds of poppy acoustic guitars in a love ballad... I can't think of anything more metal.

[clarkysixx]

I listened DODGE and I dont like it, sounds like PAPA ROACH!!!!!, what its happening??????????? I dont understand!!!!!! where are SONIC SYNDICATE????, Roland is no more going to save SONIC SYNDICATE ...

[Ikkiku]

@clarkysixx

Just because a band has a couple of poor singles doesnt mean the band is doomed.

Especially when there's still nine unheard tracks on the album.

[Zeductive88]

Jävlar va bra den låter! Ser fram emot när de släpper den!

[AtTheApostasy]

I can think of at least 4 things wrong with the combination of 'Gothenburg Metal TV' and 'Sonic Syndicate', especially with this bloody song.

[MetalWebbo]

Oh look, another Ullaeus video that has the band driving around in expensive cars and not much important happening.

QUIT MAKINKG THIS SHIT Ullaeus!!!!!

/End Rant

[ParalyzerEx]

@MetalWebbo lol that is true. Why in fucks name have they turned off and drove down the pop road? no pun intended...

[basketheavypucela]

return to old style and enclave's ballad style much less pop than this shit.

roland back nathan out and richard with short hair xD

[Glamdring70]

Me and my frienda are asking ourselves again and again: How could the singer just change the whole style of the band? (Why would Nuclear Blast change anything about it?)

[Gromstyle]

and once again, karin looks really hot

[nanabanana44]

Sonic Syndicate changed that for sure

but i really think that they even better now

[MrZeroCide]

@nanabanana44 No, Just NO. Go drown yourself.

[VelaStorm7]

Is this the new Boyzone song?

[karmikel]

mothertruckers!

[TheNoosex3]

lame

[Holloweeed]

gay???

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[Desensitiized]

wtf man !.. Bring Roland back !.. this sounds nothing like the old ss ! :(

[VELIAT696]

BOLA DE EMOS

[hestanders]

I liked their first two albums. Now I can't even tell it's them. Rageface. Why are they like this now? WHY??????? :((((((((

[iPushRedButtons]

Eh, guys. This is a BALLAD. For crying out loud. A Ballad is never supposed to be fast, + there's always a ballad on most albums.. God. Why do I even try to talk some sense into crying people that don't even TRY something new for a change.

[CruelDrFrankenstein]

@iPushRedButtons and why the f they release this ballad before the album and not a real badass song? 2 possible clues: 1. Bad Marketing 2. SS sucks balls now. Uhm i think last.

[iPushRedButtons]

@CruelDrFrankenstein Oh I don't know. Maybe because the album isn't out yet and for all we know they will release one more song before the album gets on sale? Look, man. You can't judge a whole album just with 3 songs that just so happen to be not THAT aggressive. Like I said first. You people seriously need help. x.x

[TMRGamePlay]

@iPushRedButtons Like Enclave, that was slow too. Seriously all the haters should stop whining. They're not true fans.

[Lunarcheese72]

@iPushRedButtons something new? how is using the same shitty formula and not pushing any boundries or tryign anything that isn't safe 'something new'? fuck.

[iPushRedButtons]

@Lunarcheese72 I think you're judging too fast. We've only heard 3 songs from the album, like I said, we don't even know what the other songs will bring. Besides, if you remember Rebellion In Nightmareland, you know there's always hope for a kick-ass song. And besides, I don't have to care about what you or other 'omg this r suckishz' people say. I'm sick of all these damn discussions when a new vocalist joins a band.

[Ikkiku]

@iPushRedButtons

I've heard the entire album and it's not nearly as good as their three previous albums.

Nathan has WAY too much time on the album compared to Richard. Richard is more of a topping instead of a main ingredient.

Break of Day is pretty good though. As far as heaviness goes, it could've been on Only Inhuman. Still, as far as songwriting goes, it too doesn't hold the same level of quality as OI or LAOD.

Title track is pretty decent too though.

Haven't heard the bonus tracks yet.

[iPushRedButtons]

@Ikkiku Where did you hear it then? O-O *Curious now*

[Ikkiku]

@iPushRedButtons

I know a guy who works for a Rock/Metal- magazine and he was kind enough to let me listen to the album with him when he was gonna review it.

[iPushRedButtons]

@Ikkiku Ah, okay.

[Lunarcheese72]

@iPushRedButtons Firstly, That's obviously not how I talk. come on now, don't be dumb.

Secondly, this has nothing to do with the vocalist. I'm talking about the overall sound. It's safe and mainstream, and brings nothing new or exciting to the table. Exactly how a band becomes popular with the majority of music 'fans'. Every single person who likes Eden Fire will tell you they've sold out. Infact I LIKE the new vocalist. He has an awesome voice. Don't assume this is about Nathan.

[iPushRedButtons]

@Lunarcheese72 Well what else was I supposed to think. xD Basically every (shall we say) hate comment, has something to do with Nathan and om Roland come back blah blah. When you've seen hundreds of those, it's hard to think of any other reason not to like it, to be honest. o-o

[Ikkiku]

@Lunarcheese72

This is SOOOOOO not the same formula as before.

Though I suppose you wouldn't know that unless you're a fan...

And uhh... Why can't people be fans of different kinds of music?

Good music is good music no matter what genre.

People who only listen to metal out of principle are stupid.

[Lunarcheese72]

@Ikkiku People who listen to a band and never critisize or say anything they do isn't so great are stupid.

If you can't tell, this band has changed SIGNIFICANTLY since Eden Fire. I severely doubt that anyone who really liked it can say they approve of their change to...this.

I am a fan of far more than metal as well. I've no issue with people with a wide array of taste; infact I applaud you. However, i do not approve of a band changing it's style into a completely just to be popular.

[Ikkiku]

@Lunarcheese72

I agree with you there. I don't like this stuff either.

But as Eden Fire was more Fallen Angels than it was Sonic Syndicate, I am a fan of The Only Inhuman and Love And Other Disasters sound. That is the true Sonic Syndicate for me and the change from that to this is just... horrible.

And I don't think it will do them that much good either, because a lot of their fans hate this new style.

Hopefully, they'll return to their old sound someday...

[TheCookify]

@Ikkiku They have a new style? I havn't noticed, But I have noticed that they made 1 rock ballad wich pretty much every big metal/rock band has done

[Ikkiku]

@TheCookify

Go listen to Aftermath, and then listen to Plans Are For People...

[BFMVStar29]

@Ikkiku that´s right! where is the Melodic Metal?

no screams? wtf... so sad!

bye bye sonic syndicate

[Ikkiku]

@BFMVStar29

Well not all hope is gone.

Break of Day wasn't all that bad, and the bonus tracks on the album are fucking awesome imo.

There is still hope. If only they leave the songwriting up to Richard and Roger like they used to, instead of everyone in the band writing like they did in this album.

[GH0S794]

@BFMVStar29

Obviously u cant be a true fan of Sonic Syndicate, well a fan of any heavy band at all, since all bands do ballads

[Lunarcheese72]

@Ikkiku Unless of course this is how they always planned for sonic syndicate to sound and "Grew out" of their really awesome metal sound. In which case... good for them I guess. But I don't like it personally.

[iggi47]

-.- please, back to the roots!

[knoxundead]

thumbs down

[Bluejack96]

My mum liked this song........

[Bluejack96]

Revolution and the other songs with nathan was really fucking good but this:O I like very much different music and yeah I like this to but it's defenetly not Sonic syndicate....

[Ranegade94]

@Bluejack96 ballad....

[Connorpei]

fuck guys, as long as THEY like what THEY are playing thats all the should fucking matter.

[clarkysixx]

I want the way of JACK OF DIAMONDS come back!

[clarkysixx]

roland  come back with the band!!!!

[BulletsInFlames]

Its wierd to see how much sonic has changed the past year. Last year they had a crappy studio some forsaken place in sweden and hard core style. Now its the other way around.

[rumback16]

Since roland lefted the band changed but i still lik them always hav and always will n good song

[TheParkster]

im def an old SS fan and BTC was pretty good, RBaby kinda sucked not too crazy bout it, and to b honest i kinda like how this song sounds so far. Yea they def changed since Roland but bands evolve.....accept it if not then move on

[lllSCOOPlll]

Back Street Syndicate !

[jawazitaly1991]

FFS. this ain't METAL anymore... FUCK

[freddo101]

I think my hopes for this album have been officially destroyed

[clarkysixx]

the same feeling I had when METALLICA put out the BLACK ALBUM... so sad!!! or SAD BUT TRUE!!!!

[A7xRc]

Unlike all of you who are bitching about this song,i really like this song.Your not really a fan of a band unless you follow them in any direction their music is heading.

[jawazitaly1991]

@A7xRc Ok ok, let me explain you everything, first of all. No one is bitching about this song, everyone is bitching about the ALBUM, why? cause our tastes can tell us that this new album SUCKS BALLS, and tell u what ur a real fan of the new Sonic Syndicate, we are the real fans of the old Sonic Syndicate, which means, we dont listen to shit. we listen to music

[A7xRc]

@jawazitaly1991 I liked SS when roland was in the band,and now they are different but so be it,but do you really think that venting your frustrations on other people and a little comment box is going to make anything better?

[clarkysixx]

@jawazitaly1991 yhea!! bro!!!!, you have the correct words about this discution!!!! I am with you!!!

[fgdmerol]

Bikes, "expensive cars", gay dancing... this is a pop band. "a gothenburg metal tv production" i mean, this sounds straight from MTV... it's not bad music at all, it's just really fucking incoherent.

[clarkysixx]

@fgdmerol .... yes I am agree with you, the band is good! but incoherent!!!! coz, in the past SONIC SYNDICATE was going good stuff onto METAL the new stuff, fresh, powerfull, ETC, but METAL!!!!! now this single sounds like Justin Timberlake, its INCOHERENT!!!! SONIC SYNDICATE iam sad about you!!!!!!!! :(

[tourental]

KARIN <3 SHE CAN'T GET HOTTER THAN THAT

[reiko187]

fucken hell karins hots

[Necrostatix]

OMG A METAL BAND MAKES A GREAT SOUNDING BALLAD SONG (like enough hard metal bands) NOW THIS BAND SUX :S JUST CAUSE I CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT ROLAND LEFT AND NATHAN IS A GREAT SINGER WHO REPLACED HIM!!!!

douchbags.... >___________> Sonic syndicte is great, and so is nathan

[jawazitaly1991]

@Necrostatix Nathan is great, but what we can see is, he will not fit SS

[xMania626x]

Nathan... less anabolics for your muscles, and more metal please,

WE WANNA METAL!!!!!!!!!! the old melodic Death Metal what SS had!!

[ajo123]

They should start listening to their fans and fuck ballads and emo stuff and focus on making songs like rebellion in nightmareland ... I like this band, I like Nathan and his voice, but so far it seems they have chosen the wrong path. Seriously if they dont want to lose more fans they should start doing proper melodic death metal soon.

At least Karin still looks stunning :))

[natman48]

holy shit who's the gay emos at about 1:10??? KILL IT WITH FIRE!

[A7xRc]

@natman48 Thats one of the vocalists lol

[HerrDehumanized]

pure fucken SHIT !

[OZZYRULES200]

i thought these guys were going to be heavy. oh well

[geostar1711]

Surprised I didn't see an ad for monster energy during this video. Fucking sellouts!

[metalbeda]

hope to see the video soon, but i also hope that the album itself will be heavier, all i've seen until now is too soft for sonic syndicate imho, they definitely need some really hard, heavy and brutal songs on the upcoming album, nevertheless i will buy it

[PhearMyWrath]

Nerd

[clarkysixx]

Roland come back and kick nathan`s ass!!!!!!!!! I dont understand how the feeling and sound of jack of diamonds, my scape, denied, etc etc was thrashing by Nathan I think the new pop concept awful!!!!!!

[iPushRedButtons]

''Responsible driving, kids!'' xD That part was kinda funny.

[nathanh180]

I'm tired of seeing these... whatever they are...

[clarkysixx]

@nathanh180 Nathan your voice sound pretty godd th eproblem with the fans is that we are sad because de sound of SONIC SYNDICATE (that was really powerful and modern) is not here anymore and you are singing to much pop!!!!! do you understand us? I respet you but we feel the new sonic syndicate as an another band!!!! where is the S.S that we know????

[nathanh180]

I'm tired of seeing S.S on my subscriptions page. I'm trying to look for new metal to listen too. Not these "Making of" stuff lol

[Rowri88]

i dont know about you guys,but thats good music,i dont care if they changed or not,i like it

[loosht]

SS is the new Backstreet Boys! Sounds fucking gay! Go home Nathan and screw yourself! We want Roland back!

[Ikkiku]

@loosht

Fail. Just because their soft single is soft, they're the new BB?

What retarded logic.

[EolicoJM]

they are popstars D: And INDACA sounds better

[clarkysixx]

i think old sonic syndicate was a good band with a new sound, but now its only pop... a bad bad pop... I am sad about it... I love the old songs...

[xMania626x]

@clarkysixx

totally agree whit you dude =/

[zerodtk]

@clarkysixx  ya, just like a7x :(

[Ikkiku]

@clarkysixx

How is it only pop now?

You've heard like two of the 11 new songs off the album.

Being kinda stupid here, are we?

[RegarpM]

@Ikkiku

I think they won't promote a new cd by the most different song it contains, right?

[Ikkiku]

@RegarpM

I've read reviews of the album, so I know to a certain degree what to expect.

It's a diverse album with both heavy and soft songs.

[hybridpsycho]

@Ikkiku

The album before this was pop and the album before that was quite close to pop.

Frankly, everything they've made but Eden Fire has been SHIT.

[Ikkiku]

@hybridpsycho

Just because it's not super brutal underground death metal doesn't mean it's pop.

I suggest you go listen to some pop music because it seems like you've forgotten what it sounds like.

Even though Only Inhuman and LAOD were mainstream-friendly, they weren't pop.

Iron Maiden is mainstream-friendly too, but it's not pop.

Power Metal is mainstream-friendly as hell. Still not pop.

[AlastorAbyss]

it's gay

[hirnschnitzel]

what happened to Patric Ullaeus??

he did some great work with in flames and now this garbage.

have to relate to the music, because this is bad, really bad.

[weezzle]

Absurd to publish a "making of" a video that hasn't been released yet ¬¬.... and what's up with the changes in the album release date?? first, january 2010, then march 2010, may 2010, and now august?? wtf..... start working a-holes

[amedeosolito]

Play True Please!

[theonewhichisstupid]

Sonic Syndicate is the best band in the whole fu**ing world :D

and Karin is the hottest women on the planet *___*
