Swedish/British modern metallers Sonic Syndicate have commenced the songwriting process for the long-awaited follow-up to 2010's "We Rule The Night" for a tentative late 2013/early 2014 release.

A short video update from the band can be seen below.

Sonic Syndicate bassist Karin Axelsson gave birth to her first child on October 12, 2012. The baby girl weighed in at 3.02 kilograms and measured 46 centimeters long.

Axelsson is engaged to André Gonzales, guitarist of the Swedish band By Night.

After an almost year-long hiatus, Sonic Syndicate co-headlined the Vekeri Fesztival at the end of June 2012 in Hungary.

"We Rule The Night" was released in Europe on August 27, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records. The Cd was recorded at Bohus Sound studios in Kungälv, Sweden with producer Toby Wright, who has previously worked with Korn, Slayer, MÖTley CrÜE, Kiss, Fear Factory, In Flames, Stone Sour and Ozzy Osbourne, among others.
