The Swedes Sonic Syndicate have been busy working on their new album, their first in four years. Today the first details have been revealed. Their upcoming fifth studio album will be self-titled and is set to be released on July 4th, 2014 via Nuclear Blast. Feast your eyes on the cover art below.
You can expect a new song to be released very soon.

Sonic Syndicate will also feature a guest appearance by Soilwork's vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid on the track "Before You Finally Break."

Commented guitarist, main songwriter and founding member, Robin Sjunnesson: "We decided to go with this one as a 'self-titled' release. Mainly because as an album we have put everything we've got into it. All of our experience as musicians, the evolution of the music, the sound from all eras of the band, and also the road we have taken as people. This is us, this is Sonic Syndicate in all its beauty and destruction. It shows our strength, our love for melody, our scars, our energy. The cover art is a definite representation of that. In the background, a battle-torn city laid to waste, four figures emerging together with only each other to depend on in an environment so harsh, only those with a tough heart, body and soul can survive. The tone throughout this album is definitely darker, and as my Swedish family would say 'With a red-line running in the middle' so we put this into the colour-scheme. We could not be more proud of this album, and we thank our fans for the support, it's because of them that we're here. This album is for you."
