Syndicate's New Drummer |
Press Release reports: Swedish metal band
SONIC SYNDICATE recently announced the replacement of now former drummer
Kristoffer Bäcklund, announces guitarist and songwriter Roger Sjunnesson,
"It's my sad news to report that SONIC SYNDICATE will be parting ways with
our drummer and brother Kristoffer Bäcklund. This decision was very
hard to make, ultimately came about due to lack of enthusiasm and motivation
on his side. We came to the conclusion that if we were to continue Sonic
Syndicate as a professional band, we had to let him go. The band and Kristoffer
are still the best of friends, and the former drummer will always be a
huge part of SONIC SYNDICATE´s spirit. Kristoffer would like to thank
all the fans for a "motherf***in' great time" and he wishes the band the
best of luck in the future. The new drummer is no one less than John "Runken"
Bengtsson (DØDZ). He is an old schoolmate of ours and one of the
best musicians we have worked with, and his playing so far has been beyond
our expectations. We all want to give him a warm welcome and hope he will
enjoy playing in Sonic Syndicate."[see full story for tour dates]-
