Don't understand the low ratings for this tbh. It's nothing mindblowing but it riffs pretty hard. Deadwood is addictively energetic, gets me pumped every time.

Man that bro-down solo section and beyond from “Deadwood” is um…kind of deadwood lol.
Not a great trajectory since their last album hit harder than it had right to.

Album Rating: 2.5
"Sylosis, once celebrated for their raw fusion of Bay Area thrash metal and technical death metal, appears to be venturing into a more mainstream realm with "A Sign of Things to Come."
they were never seen as this, they were seen as a mix of metalcore and thrash with the occasional weedleweedlesweepsweep bullshit section. and now theyre just as shit

The state of modern heavy metal is interesting to me. I say “interesting” because that sounds a bit more optimistic than “depressing.” While there are a handful of current metal bands carving a truly unique and exciting path (Gojira, Mastodon, Katatonia, Opeth) and others at the top of their game (Soilwork, Decapitated, Scar Symmetry) there has been a disheartening trend in recent years. I’m speaking of course about “metal” created by people that clearly have no respect for the genre.
Now I’m not one to set a bunch of rules here, but I’m pretty sure the feelings of true metal lovers are fairly unanimous. For starters, making metal palatable for your average 14-year-old Bruno Mars fan (whether that’s through the music itself, or in how it’s presented) is despicable. Heavy metal should not appear safe.
Secondly, incorporating unique musical elements can sweeten an otherwise drab tune, but let’s not get carried away. No one wants to hear a Russian techno beat and auto-tuned vocals come blasting in halfway through your breakdown like a drunken, blathering, half-dressed, college party girl exploding through the church doors, mid-sermon on Sunday morning. If this kind of ear assault is a welcome treat for anyone, then calmly walk into your bathroom, look into the mirror, and convince yourself that metal is not for you.
And finally, if your band’s inspiration pool doesn’t even reach back far enough to hit the 90s, it’s time to do some soul searching. Everything created by young musicians in the last 10 years is starting to sound the same- in a bad way. Stop regurgitating the same Underøath song. They’re not going to ask your band to go on tour. Do yourselves a huge favor and look back… to the 90s, 80s, 70s.
You can thank me later.

"Conclusion of An Age absolutely walks all over this" [2]
"Huge disappointment" [2]
I think it's pretty safe to say this is my least favorite Sylosis album. The last few tracks in particular save this album from being a complete disaster but it's a pretty big step down.
The Supreme Oppressor, Conclusion of an Age, and Edge of the Earth are legitimately some of my favorite metal albums so it's a shame to see Sylosis moving in whatever this direction is.

Side note, for anyone looking for something that **kinda** comes close to scratching the same itch as those early Sylosis albums, check out Jamie's (first Sylosis vocalist) other work with Heart of a Coward and Viscera.

The meh reaction here is not in keeping with the broader positive reaction. Been jamming it all week and they’re all groove metal bangers. Even Absent comes good. Underrated as

Surprised by the reaction on this one. This is seems like a modern take on the popular metal of the 80's, which I thought people would gobble up.
It's funny to see how kvlt everyone thinks Josh is. People seem to be suggesting he was pushed into changing, but in reality, he's responsible for that modern Architects sound and all the stylistic changes here. You probably just don't like what he's now become.
