The birth of Sonic Reign takes place back in the winter of 1997. In the early days the band’s name was Megiddo. As Megiddo, they released a demo A Journey, recorded and released in February 1999. In late 1999, the band changed the name to Sonic Reign, paying tribute to the new style of the material they had written earlier that year. The new material was much stronger and darker in comparison to the songs on A Journey demo. They developed a style with the eager effort to create the spirit and atmosphere of the early 90′s Black Metal with new means: a style often referred to as Modern Black Metal by the band itself. Four of the newly created songs found their way onto the follow-up Mini CD, The Decline Portrait, released in February 2001. The reviews for The Decline Portrait were very good. Rock Hard Magazine even claimed Sonic Reign beating out the most recent Satyricon release. Early reactions to Sonic Reign‘s first full length album, Raw Dark Pure, released in 2007, were very euphoric. Each track delivers an extremely dense and dark atmosphere and a very heavy sound. The press loved the release giving it high ratings and even Demo Of The Month in Germany’s Metal Hammer. Metal Blade were blown away by the album and in September 2006 they signed the band and made a re-release of Raw Dark Pure later in 2007.
