Side-Line introduces Syncfactory – listen now to ‘Demon’ (Face The Beat profile series)
The 76th track on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 4” (featuring 92 tracks) is by the Finland based hard electro act Syncfactory.
Syncfactory was formed in late 2009 in Tampere, Finland as a one man project by Mika Mikkola. Musically, the band sticks to dark electro/industrial combining modern harsh sounds with some influences from the 90’s industrial music movement.
The band’s debut album ”Rhymes in Minor” was released in 2010 and held tracks written in collaboration with lyricist Petri Kiukkonen. In 2014 Janne Vilen joined the band as the main vocalist. Janne was no newbie to the scene as he had already recorded material with the Finnish EBM band Oldschool Union.
A new single ”Demon” was released in september 2016, a teaser for the band’s second album ”Panopticon”. In 2016, Petri Kiukkonen also joined as a full-time member.
You can find the project back on Facebook, make sure to check it out.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
