THE UNGUIDED Signs With DESPOTZ RECORDS For 'Nightmareland' Single

February 17, 2011

THE UNGUIDED — the new project featuring former SONIC SYNDICATE members Richard Sjunnesson (vocals) and Roland Johansson (vocals),along with current SONIC SYNDICATE guitarist (and Richard's brother) Roger Sjunnesson — has inked a deal with Despotz Records for the release of the band's two-track "Nightmareland" single.

Commented the group: "THE UNGUIDED will together with Despotz Records deliver the art of music to music lovers out there unspoiled and ...as originally intended by the very composers. Creative freedom is the keyword and no unnecessary restrictions or musical limitations will blight this alliance. Also our partnership with Ronnie Schmidt goes back and beyond the inking of this contract and that's an extremely driven individual [who has] done nothing but good for us in the past. This makes us even more confident about the rightness in this choice!"

The artwork for the "Nightmareland" single was created by the very talented graphic artist Kuang Hong from China, Beijing and can be seen below.

THE UNGUIDED will make its live debut at this year's edition of the Getaway Rock festival, set to take place July 7-9, 2011 in Gävle, Sweden.

Commented Richard: "We already have about ten songs in the pipeline for the album and everything sounds really awesome! I will assure you it sounds nothing like the 'new' SONIC, and the people who liked the classic SYNDICATE will be familiar with the take on these songs, for sure. I don't think we ever wrote this many songs in such a short period of time. And I believe it's the fruit of having creative freedom and loving what we do — it certainly has upped the pace."

Regarding THE UNGUIDED's touring plans, Richard said, "THE UNGUIDED won't be a touring band in the terms of what SONIC SYNDICATE was. We will focus on random gigs and festivals when it comes to live shows. Touring was what made Roland quit in the first place, and I have no intentions of letting history repeat itself."
