Let’s face facts. The UK metal scene is currently overdosing on irony and vanity, with all too many bands focused on their haircuts, jeans and MySpace.com profiles to concern themselves with their musical output.
Fortunately, the only thing SYLOSIS are overdosing on is city leveling riffs, the Reading, Berkshire quintet a dazzling ray of hope for the new generation of British metal.
With a thundering groundswell buzz beneath their feet and an ever increasing league of devotees nationwide, SYLOSIS have joined forces with respected Brit hardcore/metal label IN AT THE DEEP END (Architects, Send More Paramedics) to unleash debut mini album ‘CASTING SHADOWS’.
Due for release on October 16th, 2006, ‘CASTING SHADOWS’ is a stunning showcase of SYLOSIS’ metal muscle, the quintet drawing from the gene pools of thrash, death and progressive to create a sound that is both devastatingly feral and blisteringly precise.
Though but a year old, SYLOSIS play with all the confidence, conviction and power of a veteran force, their prowess as both musicians and songwriters a thrilling, defiantly metallic kick in the teeth.
