The best of popsensibilities is tempered at times with brutal angst. 'No Woman's Land' isa song that should be playing on every radio station in every city on thisplanet!” D. Randall Blythe - Lamb of God“Make no mistake about it – these guys are half the reason this showwas completely sold out. Operatic on an epic scale without being overlytheatrical, Sydonia’s material conveys an all encompassing sense of heartwrenching loss, sadness and regret. Vocals that swing between dreamyand guttural, intense simultaneous tribal percussion drumming that isinterchanged frequently for some heavy guitar work – they are certainly aunique entity.” - RACCOON ROCKETTE - fasterlouder.com.au“Sydonia, they’re a really amazing band, and the lead singer’s got a veryunique voice. They’re really heavy but incorporate so many different vibesthat it’s a little bit hard to categorize them musically. I think, too,that’s something music’s sort of lost.“- Jim Root - Slipknot/Stone Sour“Seriously, if you haven’t see Sydonia yet, then do so, and if you haveseen them before, then join with me in puzzling over why they are yet totour internationally with their own supports.” Lamb of God support review -INPRESS MAGAZINE“The highlight of the night was next in Sydonia, and unsurprisingly, theybegin their percussion infused set with Adornment, with Sam and Adamsmashing away along with Sean, who in my opinion is one of the best metaldrummers this land has, getting the crowd moving forward, as those yet towitness Sydonia watch in awe of this tribal warfare they deliver.” JasonClair - BEAT MAGAZINE“Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe and Slipknot guitarist Jim Root areboth outspoken fans of Sydonia and it’s easy to see why. The dramatic setopener “Adornment” saw frontman Dana Roskvist perform solo while the restof the band created a wall of percussion for at least two thirds of thesong before picking up their instruments and launching into a full-fledgedrock assault……As the set progressed I became more and more convincedSydonia might just be the best alternative rock act in the country. Tryingto aptly describe their sound is a futile exercise. Sure there are familiarelements from bands like Deftones, Tool and Slipknot, but on the wholeSydonia is a unique entity. Roskvist’s vocal performance was nothing shortof spectacular and drummer Sean Bailey is a god behind the kit….If youhaven’t seen Sydonia live yet, I highly recommend you check them out. Theystand head and shoulders above all their commercially successful AustralianTHE AU REVIEW“At the risk of gushing, Sydonia are arguably one of the best soundingbands in the country. Their live show is far more than you get on record,and they are willing to drive all night to bring it to you. Powerful,soulful, haunting and complex all at once. Add in humble, talented and hardworking and you have a winning combo – forget the single launch, when can Iget the album?” - 9/10 SHOT OF ROCK“Melbourne band Sydonia’s symphonic sound can grow so large it should be ahighway-side tourist attraction”. - BLUNT MAGAZINESydonia is just finishing off the final few demos for their world-widedebut album and is currently open to discussions with record companies whowould like to hear more music, how the band’s music has evolved since theirindependent debut and receive more information. Thank you.For more information on Sydonia, interested parties such as record and/or management companies should please contact Dana Roskvist via [email protected]
