Sylosis is a British metal band that has carved a niche for itself in the heavy metal landscape with its blend of melodic death metal, thrash metal, and progressive metal elements. Originating from Reading, Berkshire, the band was formed in 2000 by lead guitarist and vocalist Josh Middleton. Sylosis quickly gained attention in the metal scene for their intense, technical music and deep, thematic lyrics. Over the years, they've undergone several lineup changes but have consistently remained at the forefront of their genre through relentless touring and their dedication to evolving their sound.

Their music catalog, highlighted by tracks like "Absent," "Cycle of Suffering," and "Heavy Is The Crown," showcases Sylosis's ability to blend brutal riffs, intricate guitar solos, and dynamic vocal performances into a cohesive and compelling whole. Albums like "Cycle of Suffering" reflect their ongoing evolution, integrating more melodic and progressive elements into their traditionally heavy sound. With each release, from "I Sever" to "Poison for the Lost," Sylosis continues to push the boundaries of their music, crafting atmospheric, complex compositions that challenge and captivate their audience. Despite changes in their lineup and the evolving landscape of metal music, Sylosis remains a steadfast and influential force, dedicated to their craft and to the loyal fanbase they've built over two decades of making music.
