In the summer of 2006, the band entered into a contest held by Nuclear Blast. They sent in their self titled demo Sonic Syndicate that included three tracks (all rerecorded for Only Inhuman. Out of over 1,500 competing bands, Sonic Syndicate was chosen as one of three winners and offered a new recording contract with Nuclear Blast. In November, they entered "Black Lounge Studios" to record their follow-up to Eden Fire with Jonas Kjellgren of Scar Symmetry. The new album was titled Only Inhuman and was released on May 18, 2007. The band made a video for the lead single, "Denied," with renowned producer Patric Ullaeus.
The singers of Sonic Syndicate Richard Sjunnesson and Roland Johansson also sang for a compilation album, much like Roadrunner United, entitled Nuclear Blast All-Stars: Out of the Dark with former Soilwork guitarist Peter Wichers. The band played at the 2007 Wacken Open Air Festival. Sonic Syndicate played several European festivals and, in the winter of 2007, accompanied Amon Amarth as they toured stateside. The band also participated in the "Darkness over X-Mas Tour" with Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn, and toured extensively across Europe with Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork. In late November 2007, the Swedish newcomers embarked on a tour with Himsa and the Swedish Melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. Later in 2008, they toured with the popular Finnish symphonic metal band, Nightwish.
