Sylosis are one of the UK’s most renowned names in thrash, death metal, and progressive metal. Founded by guitarist Josh Middleton, the band quickly established a niche in the metal scene, known for intricate guitar work, intense riffs, and complex song arrangements. Middleton’s versatile guitar skills and commanding vocal presence have shaped the band’s sound, combining technical precision with a dark and brutal atmosphere.
Their debut full-length album, Conclusion of an Age, introduced listeners to a style that was both aggressive and melodic, drawing from classic thrash and modern metalcore. Subsequent releases like Edge of the Earth and Monolith helped Sylosis build a die-hard international fanbase, cementing their reputation as a driving force in modern metal.
Following a brief hiatus, during which Middleton served as guitarist for Architects, Sylosis resumed recording and touring in 2019. With each album, they have continued to refine their sound, earning respect as one of the most popular names in contemporary British metal.
