Posted on Wednesday, November 21 @ 04:41:33 UTC by nightowl

Finnish superstars Nightwish and highly acclaimed newcomers Sonic Syndicate from Sweden will embark on a North America Tour together in 2008! Nightwish's new record Dark Passion Play achieved gold status in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland and Sweden shortly after its release, and even triple-platinum in their home country Finland. Not to mention #1 in almost each and every country! Sonic Syndicate released their latest album Only Inhuman in May 2007 and did play the main festivals in Germany such as With Full Force, Wacken and Up From The Ground before heading out on the Eastpak Antidote Tour in Europe with Soilwork, Dark Tranquillity, and Caliban, followed up by their first US tour with Amon Amarth and Himsa. Swedish youngsters about the support tour: "Just got home from a very successful European tour with our fellow countrymen and label mates of Soilwork and it wasn't even necessary to unpack our bags cause we're leaving in a matter of days for America to support another great Swedish act namely Amon Amarth.



"However, the breaking news that dropped my jaw to the ground today and leaving it there for good over half an hour was that Sonic Syndicate have been confirmed to open for the Scandinavia's own Nightwish on their upcoming American tour. I would just like to say that me and the band who all are hardcore Nightwish fans are extremely thrilled about this and we're really looking forward for an massive tour with a lot of crazy stuff and brilliant gigs! I'm already with passion studying an Finnish dictionary and we literary can't wait for 2008 ... Kippis!" -- Richard, Sonic Syndicate.
