Artist: SYLOSIS
Album: EDGE OF THE EARTH VINYL (2LP)

Release date: 2011
Media type: LP

Every generation of Metal bands has its pioneers groups that re-define the genre musically and take it to a new level. SYLOSIS is one of them! Its not for nothing that the quartet from Reading, England has been considered as UKs greatest Metal export. Now the boys return with their second metallic gem "Edge Of The Earth". Since the release of their debut album "Conclusion Of An Age" in late 2008, SYLOSIS have acquired a respectable global fan base and were able to prove their live skills playing with bands such as DRAGONFORCE, AS I LAY DYING, FEAR FACTORY or THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER as well as on big festival stages of Download, Sonisphere and Graspop. After a slight line-up alteration of lead guitarist Josh Middleton henceforth taking the front man role as well, SYLOSIS present their most intense, vigorous and ambitious material to date. "Edge Of The Earth" is overflowing with devastating riffs, thrilling melodies, soulful solos, progressive twists and turns and an ubiquitous dark atmosphere. The productional part was done once again by fellow-countryman Scott Atkins who aimed for a more earthy sound this time, as Middleton states: "We didn't want this album to be quite as polished as the last. We put emphasis on playing with more aggression or feel instead of going for perfection. We've all grown tired of hearing metal albums that sound like they're played by computers. The best way to make something sound heavy is to let the human - and sometimes ugly - elements shine through."
