From the fiery modern thrash of 2008 debut \u003ci\u003eConclusion Of An Age\u003c\/i\u003e and its epic follow-ups, \u003ci\u003eEdge Of The Earth\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) and \u003ci\u003eMonolith\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), to the direct, holistic savagery of 2015’s \u003ci\u003eDormant Heart\u003c\/i\u003e and 2020’s much-acclaimed \u003ci\u003eCycle Of Suffering\u003c\/i\u003e, Sylosis have proudly flown the flag for fiercely sophisticated but defiantly uncompromising metal. Now armed with new music, Sylosis is to make a mighty reintroduction into the international metal world!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sixth full-length in the Sylosis catalogue, \u003ci\u003eA Sign Of Things To Come\u003c\/i\u003e is instantly recognisable as the most potent and powerful of the band’s career. Comprising ten concise and crushing metal anthems, the new record covers a huge amount of musical ground while simultaneously delivering several metric fuck-tons of Middleton’s trademark, ripping riffs. Notable for being the shortest Sylosis album to date, \u003ci\u003eA Sign Of Things To Come\u003c\/i\u003e is also the band’s best: from the all-out thrash war of the opening ‘Deadwood’ and the snarling, groove metal fury of ‘Pariahs’, to the lurching sludge and sublime chorus payoff of ‘Eye For An Eye,’ and ‘Thorns’ shimmering, gothic doom vibes, the phrase “all killer, no fucking filler” has never been more applicable. Ten songs, ten triumphs: mission accomplished.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuclear Blast","offers":[{"title":"White LP","offer_id":50525257990475,"sku":"2027307","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50525257695563,"sku":"2027306","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/A_Sign_of_Things_to_Come_c4c274b4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728031983"},{"product_id":"dormant-heart-10th-anniversary","title":"Dormant Heart (10th Anniversary)","description":"\u003cp\u003e‘Dormant’ is not a word that you can associate with Reading’s metallers Sylosis – the band who have in the past few years alone toured with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Devil Driver and Trivium. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDormant Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is not a peaceful album, it’s a powerful force, unleashing anger against every day injustice and a sleeping society that lets these things wash over them. Frontman Josh Middleton explains: “The title refers to people going through life on autopilot and being one of the herd. How a lot of people simply accept the way things are just because it's 'tradition' as opposed to taking a good look at the world around you and thinking for yourself. Sometimes there are catalysts that happen and change our perspective or consciousness…”  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDormant Heart \u003c\/i\u003eretains the distinctive Sylosis sound; a mixture of intense heavy guitar riffs, breakdowns, thudding rhythm and Middleton’s growl. It’s difficult to tie-down the band into a specific type of metal genre. Stomping opener ‘Where The Wolves Come To Die’ unleashes an aggressive start whilst ‘Leech’ provides those breakdowns and epic choruses. ‘Mercy’ demonstrates the mix of galloping rhythm and melodic guitar riffs whilst Josh fiercely declares ‘there’s no redemption’. Aptly named closer track ‘Quiescent’ provides over 9 minutes of solemn prog showing a less forceful side of the band it’s ballad like in nature, with lyrics questioning \"Maybe the flames are all they have?’ It’s softer in dynamic but the sense of impending doom remains ‘Fail to rescue\/\/ I can see\/\/ Now the line is drawn at our feet’.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuclear Blast","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51069542891851,"sku":"2238757","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Dormant_Heart_4327471b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1736507867"},{"product_id":"the-new-flesh","title":"The New Flesh","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the going gets tough, metal gets heavier.
