With their brand new third studio album Monolith just days away from landing on the shelves, Reading metallers Sylosis have announced a brand new set of live shows on home turf for the start of next year. The end of January will see Josh, Bailey, Rob and Carl playing five headline shows across England and…
Sylosis are undoubtedly one of the breakthrough bands of the British metal scene of the last couple of years. Having toured the UK and elsewhere extensively over the last eighteen months in support of their second album, the metal Behemoth that is The Edge Of The Earth (read a review here), we are very pleased…
As I sit down to write this, the second part of Rocksins’ Download 2012 preview, it’s currently brilliant sunshine out and temperatures in the mid to high twenties (somewhere around 80 degrees for those of us who only understand farenheight). We should all cross our fingers, get out our lucky charms and pray to whatever…
Yes, I know it’s very late, but I’ve been a bit busy with other things and keeping up with the rock & metal news to finish off this review but better late than never! Those familar with Rocksins know that instead of the traditional top X albums we like to mix it up a little…
British heavy metal is arguably in one of its most purple patches since the ultimate heyday in the late 70’s/early 80’s. As a testament to this, tonight’s show at the packed Carling Academy Islington featured four young British metal bands each at different stages in their careers. Opening band Chapters are newcomers and a band…
Some really disturbing news that has surfaced on the social media grapevine over the last 24 hours. The tour they are currently on, which also features Malefice and Chapters was on its Birmingham installment last night. Both Sylosis and Anterior had merchandise stolen right from the merch tables by so called “fans”. In an age…
High Voltage is like no other UK festival. Curated by Classic Rock magazine, with help from their friends at Metal Hammer and one or two other places, the line-up boasted some of the finest old school names in prog rock, some up and coming metal bands, a one off reunion, a farewell headline appearance and…
Like a lot of people in the UK metal community, I have been awaiting Sylosis’s follow up to their debut album Conclusion of an Age with considerable anticipation. When Conclusion of an Age hit our ears in late 2008, it made an immediate impact and as more and more people have discovered Sylosis in the 2…
Sylosis are a band who have been around for quite a long time (I remember seeing them in the listings for The Marquee in Hertford and other such small venues around London about 2 or 3 years ago) but have only in the last 12 months or so started to garner the attention they arguably…
Rock Sins’ favourites Sylosis last month headlined the Metal Hammer Razor Tour all over the UK and we were lucky enough to catch up with the boys once again on the last night of their tour at the Camden Underworld (read the review of that show right here). Here’s our catch up with bassist Carl…
The last night of the Metal Hammer Razor Tour steamrollered into the Camden Underworld on Friday night, having thrilled sell out and near sell out crowds at every show up and down the country for the past week. How would the final night of the tour go when Rocksins went along to see it? Read…
Before the first show of the Jagermeister / Metal Hammer tour last month, we were lucky enough once again to catch up with Sylosis guitarist (and now frontman) Josh Middleton and he brought guitarist Alex Bailey along for the ride. If you would like to read a review of the London show of the Jager…
