Sylosis - 'Calcified' Guitar Playthrough

[@millenwagon]

Absolute machine of a guitarist. My favourite metal band and guitarist by miles. This song is immense, reminds me of classic sylosis with a touch of gojira thrown in.

[@Michael_Dolences.]

I hear a bit of Be'lakor in there also.

[@ScatteredDimension]

Definitely has some Gojira vibes, which is not a bad thing at all!

[@Erock75.]

Love his guitar work amazing player

[@juanmartin606]

I heard some Death influence in the solos of both songs, nothing strange cause he show a Death album in the latest videos. A talented guitarist indeed

[@TheChrisaiston]

Sylosis should be as big as Trivium. Fantastic Josh, you're playing is certainly humbling, to say the least.

[@ghaziausaf]

Your move Joe Duplantier...

[@metalheadblues]

Pretty sure gojira will be dropping an album this year. So we'll see.

[@damiendelvallee7256]

Will it be as heavy as Sylosis' though?

[@sifonrest3172]

Damien Delvallée They wrote the heaviest matter of the universe, so... yeah

[@damiendelvallee7256]

@@sifonrest3172 They have a phenomenal track record, but i'm very curious to hear what's next for them.... they're always evolving!

[@jackharrisguitar]

I love seeing these playthroughs - really helps understand Josh's writing! No note is out of place, they are all there for a reason - the song writing IS TOO SICK! I loved these two singles so much I covered them!

[@seanklotz937]

this band is so underrated. Fucking incredible

[@jakeywaykey]

Don't ever let anyone tell you Sylosis wasn't worth it. You're one of the only bands that has never disappointed me with each release. Living off of music can be difficult but never stop doing what you love doing or change your sound just to please a larger audience. We love you for what you are and can't wait to see what you've created in the coming days!!

[@anthonyjohnston1618]

would love to know who says Sylosis isn't worth it lol

[@WilberSevenfold]

​@@anthonyjohnston1618I have yet to see someone who dislikes Sylosis even some non metal fans I know like them

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

Josh, I met you at the backstage of Heartown Festival in Taiwan about 3 years ago when you're here with Architects, I said I really love Sylosis and you're surprised, plz keep up the good work, these playthrough vids are sick as always!

[@infernapeDLS]

Damn how was he surprised that you loved Sylosis. I know a few people who only listen to architects because of him joining them

[@hellcyte5259]

I took interest in architect when Josh joined :')

[@heero7yui]

Damn! Love the Gojira influence.

[@spacecase7504]

Can't wait to receive my pre-order of this album!

[@matdan6081]

Ok so maybe I'm a bit late to the party.... These guys came up on my Spotify yesterday, fair to say I haven't stopped listening. Fucking phenomenal!!

[@nathanhogsed7475]

All of the win!!! 🤘🔥🤘 Fuck yeah

[@AJoylessEon]

Forget architects.. just keep pumping out wicked tunes like this, my new favorite band. Cycle of suffering is killer

[@alvaroescandela4495]

Machine

[@richmanrush]

New stuff sounds killer, Josh. Love the Death and King Diamond shirts. 2 of my top bands and reasons I play music. Much respect!

[@DarkPhantomSky]

So sick

[@kellymullins9706]

Can't stop listening to this album...I'm impressed you've taken the path of your idol Papa Het. He's gotta be impressed by that right hand alone, never mind your lead and vocals work. Awesome riffs throughout, and thats the main thing to me 🤘 Do you plan on doing one of these for Empty Prophets??

[@JonnyCrackers]

This is just one of the sickest songs I've ever heard.

[@carlos.ronald.6st]

Great song!!! Great guitar performance (as always). Sylosis is just awesome. Edge of the Earth is one of my favourite album of all time!!! Can't wait to ear the new album.

[@matttaylor1449]

Those mid paced chugs in the verse were definitely inspired by the thick low mids on your Peavey 5150 rhythm channel. I've felt that inspiration too.

[@joshforeman1648]

Anyone else notice the other hand at 2:19

[@dashqe]

lol

[@Nekrist218]

Fantastic playthrough! 🤘🏻

[@Koragh_]

One of the best guitarists of this era "No jokes"of fanatism This guy is a virtous Cant wait for the new album Come back to welcome belgium, josh You gave me the best live performance of any band Even if we were at a small crappy markt tent And not the mainstage ( graspop 2015) Sylosis will always be my fav all time Even if takes the spot of death etc Idc you guys deserve more recognition

[@agustin_sz09]

Muy buena composición. La técnica de Josh es increíble, muy buenos videos. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@jorgepereira15]

If you do a playthrough for all of them I will actually cream. There are some riffs I would love to see you play.

[@kadoman65]

[@jamesclayton1241]

BOSSING IT!

[@Metalltool]

I liked the song when I heard it the first time. Now after hearing it a thousand times I worship it!

[@BlackenedNL]

Beyond happy Sylosis is finally back!!! Can't wait to get the vinyl and blast it all fucking year

[@ukaszporebny9908]

kick ass

[@raelneto6979]

Seloko, essa daí vai ser difícil de tirar kkkkkk

[@Erock75.]

Can't wait to listen to the upcoming album from beginning to end. I love the musical journeys Josh and Syslosis take you on.

[@lukzriffs1564]

The begin of the solo reminds me on the middle Part of jeff waters solo from the Song the dagger (roadrummer United)!

[@SinandGrins]

Yup, it does!

[@lukzriffs1564]

@Jorgekg o yes!

[@lukzriffs1564]

@Jorgekg great time period :-)

[@sebastianobeltrami8742]

Very great song guy. Solo is simply amazing. Stay fast

[@Metalguitarpete]

No coïncidence in the King Diamond t shirt - I can hear some tasty Andy Laroque influences in the leads 👌🏻

[@jestemlegendom]

Dear GOD! That was fire!

[@replicated]

Sick!

[@happyiamsad]

Incredible

[@stangs4life1987]

Was literally listening to king diamond before I came here lol. Fucking bad ass!

[@CombatFrame]

that was badass also is there any chance that i can use/edit some of yours music in one of my videos with full credit ofc??? thanks in advance.

[@somberlain8987]

bobz013 Grammys are for Pop/Rap music. Not even Rock music is respected by the people that run that award. Metal/Rock needs its own award show if you ask me.

[@josuastangl7140]

@@somberlain8987 I don't think anyone needs an award show, who cares.

[@mikepshena]

Guys, what if, just what if, it's not Gojira influenced.

[@asajones5150]

Josh has said before that Gojira are a big influence on him, both in terms of songwriting and in his vocal delivery (I'm fairly certain that's where his pitching comes from when he does his harsh vocals). So whilst it may be coincidence, I don't believe it is. During the breakdown of Hereafter by Architects, there's a pickslide that's very much Gojira in style. Josh also wrote all the riffs to that song. He's used the same technique during quite a few of his previous videos too, so I think it's fair to say that the Gojira comments are justified. I think it's great as he's using the influences to further the Sylosis sound and making it his own.

[@TonyNguyenFR]

Who else set it to 0.25 speed at the solo?

[@yuritarelko9916]

So Gojir-ish. In a good way.

[@Moodster93]

to much fx on solo

[@deadbluesky]

No bad but Josh use to be more technic with better riffs and sweep solo, i learn to tighten my sweep with the song Empyreal... He is one of the best guitarist in the world so to be honest im kinda disappointed !! Maybe he became soft because he did play with Architects for too long.

[@relentlessconsumption]

That alternate picking run at 2:52 isn't enough for you? How about the phrasing? I think its just as impressive as 5 string arpeggios. He's evolving as a guitar player and musician. Don't worry, I'm sure there will be sweeping sections on the new album. Think about it, every other album has had it. He won't disappoint. And fyi his playing has so much more to offer besides sweep picking.

[@pogchamp7983]

Well that was cool till the vocals came in... Sounds like as I lay dying or some shit

[@spacecowb0y717]

nothing wrong with as I lay dying or Josh's vocals
