SYLOSIS ARE QUIETLY WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM

It would seem that UK neo-thrashers Sylosis — whose 2008 debut Conclusion of an Age was a ripping example of what modern thrash (NOT re-thrash) should be — are quietly working on a new album. MS Maniac Evan Hurd sent in a link to the band’s Facebook page (screen cap above), where the band posted an update saying they’re just about finished writing their new album and plan to begin recording it in a few weeks.

This should come as good news to all — there’s little not to like about Sylosis. By all accounts they killed at this year’s New England Metal and Hardcore Fest, and guitarist Josh Middleton seemed like a well-rounded kid with all the right influences when I interviewed him back in February. A new Sylosis album on the horizon definitely has me excited.
