Sylosis have been busy over the last year, releasing periodic new music before announcing a brand new record on the way from a band who have previously been on a prolonged hiatus. With frontman and guitarist Josh Middleton now able to focus his full creative energy and time to the project, Sylosis now seem poised to make a significant impact on the metal scene.

Coming off the heels of “Poison For The Lost” in June, Middleton has described the new song as a stinging critique of the modern world, saying “A Sign Of The Things To Come” is a declaration of dismay towards the modern world. It’s about the anxiety of what the future holds and the feeling of division in a society where everyone is pitted against each other. This was the last song to be written for the album. It quickly became apparent that this was going to become one of the biggest, most anthemic songs on the record.”

Sylosis was formed by Middleton and ex-bassist Carl Parnell in 2000, releasing their debut in 2008. Fans will be most familiar with Middleton due to his involvement with British metalcore giants Architects-taking over guitar duties for the band in 2016. Being a close friend of the late Tom Searle, Middleton slotted right into the band but forced Sylosis into an indefinite hiatus as Architects continued to build upon their growing success.

With the surprising announcement that Middelton had chosen to leave Architects in May, the guitarist cited that differences in musical directions inspired the choice to call time on his tenure but the two parties remain close friends. The split has allowed Middleton to fully turn his attention back to Sylosis, breathing new life into the band. Indeed, A Sign Of Things To Come will be the first new material released since 2020’s Cycle Of Suffering.
