We Rule the Night is the fourth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Sonic Syndicate. The album was released on August 27, 2010 through Nuclear Blast and was produced by Toby Wright.We Rule the Night is the first full-length release by the band to feature the vocals of Nathan James Biggs (former Hollow Earth Theory singer) who replaced former singer Roland Johansson who left the band in 2009. However, it is also the last album to feature founding members Richard and Roger Sjunnesson, who both left the band in October 2010 and May 2012 respectively. The band toured Europe to support the album with the "We Rule the World Tour", starting on September 15, 2010 with Christoffer Andersson standing in for Richard.
Sonic Syndicate started working on the pre-production of the new album as of January 2010 and soon after announced that the producer for the album would be legendary U.S. producer Toby Wright. The main recording of the album took place at Bohus Sound Studios in Kungälv, Sweden. February 23, 2010 announced that they were finished with the recording the album. As of March 2010, although the album was being mixed and mastered in Sweden, Toby Wright returned to USA to begin the final mixing and mastering on the album at the Paramount Studios in North Hollywood, California. As of March 7, 2010, the album was complete, although after much delay it wouldn't be released until six months later.
This is the first Sonic Syndicate album to have two lyricists and also the first album which Robin Sjunnesson makes a significant contribution to the songwriting, writing alongside the new singer Nathan J. Biggs seven songs on the album. This is one of many features that possibly gave We Rule The Night a very different sound compared to previous material.
On November 6, 2009, the band released the EP Burn This City featuring the single and radio version of the title track "Burn This City" and a non-album track called "Rebellion in Nightmareland". "Burn This City" went under a different mix for the album version to make it fit the style and sound of We Rule the Night. On May 4, 2010, Nuclear Blast offered a free download of the album version.
