Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Love and Other Disasters is the third album by Swedish heavy metal band Sonic Syndicate. It was released on September 19, 2008 and on October 14 in North America. In addition to the standard-edition album, a digipack version of the album was made available featuring two bonus tracks and a DVD. Since released in the United States, the album has sold around 800 copies in its first week to land on the Billboard Heatseekers chart at 85. Love and Other Disasters is the last album by the band to feature former singer Roland Johansson, and producer Jonas Kjellgren (although Kjellgren still did some work with the band besides production on their latest release).
On June 27, the lead single of the album called "Jack of Diamonds" was released to radio, the same day it was performed live for the first time on the Metaltown Festival in 2008. It has since spawned three other singles: "My Escape", "Power Shift", and "Contradiction". A 14th track entitled "Freeman" was also made but didn't make it to the album. The band and Nuclear Blast thought the song was too good to throw away; therefore, they kept it in order to use it for a future album. When Roland left the band, there was no longer any use for of the song; however, when Nathan joined the band, they first wanted to record it with him. Instead, they ended up making the two new songs "Burn This City" and "Rebellion in Nightmareland".
