Sons of the System is the fourth album by Danish metal band Mnemic, released in Europe on 18 January 2010 and in North America on 26 January 2010. This would be Mnemic's last album with members Rune Stigart, Tomas "Obeast" Koefoed and Brian Rasmussen, before they left the band in 2011.
The album was recorded in the band's own studio with producer Tue Madsen, who worked with the band on previous releases Mechanical Spin Phenomena and The Audio Injected Soul. The band describes the album as "Very eclectic, very diverse, and nothing that you would imagine coming from a band like us. Let's just say it has become more theatrical, more electronic, and just more catchy, as we have put all our focus on writing good songs and not being afraid of experimenting."
Sons of the System sold roughly 600 copies in the United States after its first week of release.
