Love and Other Disasters is the third album by Swedish heavy metal band Sonic Syndicate. It was released on September 19, 2008 and on October 14 in North America. In addition to the standard-edition album, a digipack version of the album will made available featuring two bonus tracks and a DVD. It's the last album by the band to feature the vocals of former singer Roland Johansson. Since released in the United States, the album has sold around 800 copies in its first week to land on the Billboard Heatseekers chart at 85.
On June 27, the lead single of the album called Jack of Diamonds was released to radio, the same day it was performed live for the first time on the Metaltown Festival in 2008. It has since spawned 4 other singles (My Escape, Power Shift, Contradiction and Burn This City). A 14th track entitled "Freeman" was also made but didn't make it to the album. The song was leaked to the Internet, though, and is rumored to be featured on a future album as a "surprise" one last song with Roland. The song can be heard in the background of the making of Love and Other Disasters-DVD through various scenes. The special edition of the album was reissued on November 6, 2009 together with the bands 2009-EP Rebellion featuring two brand new songs as well as the debut record with their new singer Nathan Biggs, replacing Roland Johansson.
