Sylosis Surprises Fans With New EP "The Path"
Powerhouse metal outfit Sylosis have surprise released their new EP "The Path" ahead of their upcoming co-headlining tour with Fit For An Autopsy.
On the release of "The Path," Josh Middleton comments:
"When we were working on ASOTTC we amassed a lot of material. It was a very creative period and the songs that didn’t make it onto ASOTTC were by no means below standard - far from it! We’re extremely excited to share with you 'The Path' EP. Some of our best material to date! We hope you enjoy it"
The band have also released a video for its title track featuring Debbie Gough of Heriot, who will be joining the band as support across the UK and Europe.
On the EP's title track, Josh continues:
"'The Path' is about my love and obsession for heavy music. It’s all I need. It’s never been a phase or something I’ll grow out of. I’m immersed in this culture and more than anything, I am still a rabid fan! I think previously writing a song about this kind of thing would have been a no-go for me. Maybe it could be perceived as corny or ‘out of character’ compared to some of the bands previous lyrics but this feels like a very important song to me." More...

Heriot Shares New Music Video
New UK metal group Heriot continue their rise with brilliant and brutal new single "Recreant."
Premiering on Knotfest, who called the band "relevant, contemporary, and rooted in reality", you can watch the video for "Recreant" below.
The new single showcases a triumphant young band, fully focused and with a razor-sharp edge. Now a fourpiece with the addition of guitarist/vocalist Debbie Gough, Heriot have already started to turn heads in the UK metal scene and beyond. Weaponising metallic sludge and hardcore, Heriot had already made a statement of intent with November 2020's 'Cleansed Existence' single and will only turn it up from here.
In the words of Heriot: "'Recreant’ reflects on the ever-growing abuse of power in today’s world. With governments, politicians and influencers wrongfully using religion, nationalism and wealth to divide communities, class and race.
"In this release we’ve tried to hone in on some of our darker influences to best suit the lyrical content in this song. As a band we’ve delved deeper into our doom and sludge roots. This track allowed for a lot more experimentation into the use of textures and industrial elements to embellish the intensity of our sound.
"This track touches on the contrast between the privileged and deprived and how the system is carefully manipulated to cater for the wealthy, even showing encouragement for minority groups of people to subconsciously vilify themselves." More...
