Sylosis
Thrash, Death Metal

Sylosis are a forward thinking UK thrash metal/melodic death metal/progressive metal band. Hailing from Reading, Sylosis set out to create a modern, epic new take on the oldschool thrash metal blueprint. The bands sound is comprised of fast, aggressive riffing, thunderous drumming, intricate guitar lines, shredding solos, fierce vocals and hauntingambience. Unashamedly, there is also an abundance of melody and dynamics.

Sylosis are a forward thinking UK thrash metal/melodic death metal/progressive metal band. Hailing from Reading, Sylosis set out to create a modern, epic new take on the oldschool thrash metal blueprint. The bands sound is comprised of fast, aggressive riffing, thunderous drumming, intricate guitar lines, shredding solos, fierce vocals and hauntingambience. Unashamedly, there is also an abundance of melody and dynamics. Sylosis pride themselves on not only their heaviness but the attention to detail of their song-writing.Every song is cleverly crafted into its own identity and structured to perfection. So far they have released two Ep's titled "The Suppreme Oppressor" and "Casting Shadows", in 2008,the band was signed by Nuclear Blast records and they released their debut Lp titled "Conclusion of an Age".

On May 19th, 2010, Sylosis revealed through their Myspace blog that they had parted ways with vocalist Jamie Graham.[5] Instead of replacing the vocalist, Josh Middleton (leadguitar) took up vocal duties as well as playing lead.Sylosis entered the studio in 2010 to record their second full length studio album entitled, "Edge of the Earth". Their words on the new album were as follows.

“We’re extremely proud of the new material. We all know that these are our best songs to date and they are still evolving in the studio. It’s a very different vibe this time around.We’re pushing our producer [Scott Atkins] for a really raw and live sound. We’re making sure we know when to loosen up and let a bit more ‘feel’ creep in so it’s not as sterile.

“The new album is definitely heavier and more progressive… although despite being heavier, it’s still more mature on every level. We know we’re still evolving as a band and I’m surethe album after this one will be different again. These kind of statements can be worrying to the fans but we’re very confident and happy with what we’ve created and we know we’vetaken the high road!â€.

On January 3rd, 2011, the band debuted both their new official website and a new song, entitled "Empyreal (Part 1)". In addition to this new song, the site contains the albumartwork for "Edge of the Earth" along with the track names and running times. On March 14th 2011, "Edge of the Earth" was finally released.
