Untitled

Sons of the System is the fourth album by Danish industrial metal band Mnemic, released in Europe on January 18, 2010 and in North America on January 26, 2010.

The album was recorded in the bands own studio, with producer Tue Madsen (who worked with the band on previous releases Mechanical Spin Phenomena and The Audio Injected Soul). The band describes the album as "Very eclectic, very diverse, and nothing that you would imagine coming from a band like us. Let's just say it has become more theatrical, more electronic, and just more catchy, as we have put all our focus on writing good songs and not being afraid of experimenting."[1]

Despite overwhelmingly positive reviews, sales have so far been very disappointing. Sons Of The System only shifted 600 copies in its first week of sale in the US, which is less than half what Passenger sold in the same period of time back in 2007 (1,223 copies). Sales have also been weak in Europe, where the album, unlike all other Mnemic albums, failed to leave its mark in any European charts. Only in Denmark have sales been relatively good.
