Don't let the artificially low average rating fool you, this is a great album. KILL, his
multiple accounts, and idiot followers have clearly sabotaged the system.
If that's how he chooses to spend his sad existence, I say let him.

Better than Edge of the Earth. Mint album, fuck you Kill

Wonderfully climactic melodeath/thrash that suggests a brooding atmosphere, making for a unique sound that at the same time is reminiscent of everything great about metal - could very well be AOTY

This band isn't even capable of writing a song with passion and feeling. Basically they suck huge black cock and then spit the load

Big step up from EOTE. The riffs this time are a lot more thought out and a lot of the songs (Behind the Sun, The River) are focused upon building and developing their initial sound which I really enjoy. As for the sound off's above me, rate your music is the place of the elitists and jerk-offs, I have never seen so many immature comments over a band in my life

With so many "classic" thrash bands coming back to release quality material these days, who really cares about Sylosis?

Some of the best riffs I've heard in a long time and the songwriting doesn't get much better than this. A modern metal masterpiece.

Edge Of The Earth sounded completely outer-worldly and perfect so instead of attempting to outdo it, Monolith will stand right next to it with a darker more gloomy vibe

Not a groundbreaking or innovative release but "Monolith" is still a pretty solid piece of modern thrash.

Sylosis went with Monolith for a more prog ala Opeth direction to accompany their usual thrash sound , however I believe that, if they will further explore that prog/atmospheric elements while cutting also some of their bay area influences, then they can do wonders in their future releases. Also, Josh Middleton should focus more to his guitar playing and leave the signing to someone else.

Wow...that's what first comes to mind after just one listen of this album. I was a little worried when I read that Sylosis were going for an old-school, live feel on this follow-up to the outstanding "Edge of the Earth", but this blew me away! Every song stands on its own as a masterpiece of creativity, but together they form Sylosis' best album and what is easily one of the best albums of 2012.

There are some really pretty moments on here that flourish into something beautiful (the opener and hidden track), but for the most part the "let's start out with thrashy heavy and incorporate some keyboards later on during the bridge" shtick that they make literally every track conform to gets old quick.

For whatever reason the stream quality for me sucks. But... I've heard the two songs that were streaming a month ago and those are sick! Should be awesome.

Could easily be a 4.5 but I need more time to be sure. Fav Tracks: Fear the World, Paradox, A Dying Vine

Overall impression is excellent. Doom lyrics. Some great thrash riffs. Rest are mediocre riffs. (Mediocre thrash is considered great anyway). Surreal Atmosphere, never heard before - unique. Beautiful guitar solos too. I dig the melodic scream vocals even if generic. Almost as good as the Darkest Hour Vocalist. Varied Songwriting, but with some clever formulas repeated(Track 3 & 4 too similar). Only 1 weak song.

What Dwells Within is a ridiculously epic song. Definitely the stand out track for me. I think this album is the perfect mix of thrash and melody.
