"Little known secret; METALLICA's ...And Justice For All and DEATH's Symbolic record had a baby. It was tossed into a junkyard and forgotten about. It ate metal and drank gasoline until it broke free and began to kill. SYLOSIS defines modern speed metal. " – Chris Adler (LAMB OF GOD)
UK based modern thrash heroes SYLOSIS have just declared that they will return to North America this Fall! “We're really excited to announce we'll be heading back to tour America, as well as experiencing our first trip to Canada this September/October with TRIVIUM and DEVILDRIVER,” commented vocalist/guitarist Josh Middleton. “It's a pretty diverse mix of bands on the bill, which is completed by AFTER THE BURIAL, and we're stoked to be a part of it. Last year's US tour with LAMB OF GOD was killer and we expect to see a lot of our newly converted American fans at these shows. We'd also like to say thanks to all our Canadian fans for being so patient for us to get over there, but the wait is over. See you guys soon.”

SYLOSIS’ latest album, Monolith was recorded with Romesh Dodangoda in Wales at Monnow Valley Studio and mastered by Jens Bogren (SOILWORK, AMON AMARTH, BLOODBATH) at Fascination Street Studios. The concept for the lyrics were loosely inspired by the Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. The artwork was created this time around by Dan Goldsworthy (ACCEPT, HELL).
