SYLOSIS - I Sever - Reaction / Review

[@richardsinclair7661]

Josh Middleton has always been up-front about Sylosis' sound. Their primary influence is Bay Area thrash, and you can hear it in their music. What really makes them different is Josh's playing style, which is super technical and intricate. You might miss some of the cool things he does on guitar if you're not listening closely. Also, his phrasing during solos is freaking phenomenal. He plays the technical shred that everybody wants, but manages to do so without making it sound like he's just wanking off on the guitar. That's why he's one of my favorite guitarists in metal. I'm so pumped Sylosis is back.

[@ozzyism7148]

His solo album JMP was an absolute masterpiece, no lyrics needed. Josh and sylosis in general are extremely underrated. "Edge of the earth" is one of the best metal albums full stop, its a masterpiece.

[@Jwallsmedia]

Yeah he actually writes really good music that just fucking flows

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

That happens when you mix Death with Testament, Metallica and Death Angel

[@Spawn-wt6ul]

Same bro. This band has flown under the radar way to long, METALHEADS we need to spread the word on Sylosis, SHOW ALL YOUR FRIENDS 🤘🏻

[@matdan6081]

I've only just come across these guys on Spotify on the last couple of weeks and I can't stop listening. As I guitar player, the intricacies of what they are doing is amazingly technical. Big ups to Josh Middleton and let's not leave out the rythm player too. (Sorry I don't know his name) fuck I love metal 🤙

[@cmr2003]

These guys are godlike, really underrated. You should definitely check out After Lifeless Years.

[@aerahtv0000]

their all albums are top notch, i always can't decide which one i like more)

[@chuckclark3214]

Shiiiit, that whole goddamn album is epic as fuck! It’s my personal favorite, so far. We’ll see how Cycle of Suffering measures up.

[@ptr_does_music7042]

I always had a soft spot for conclusion of an age, I love the vocalist on it

[@JalimRabeikkkkk]

@@ptr_does_music7042 check out the old vocalist new band,it's called Viscera

[@grahamashcroft871]

Conclusion of an age is their best album......I loved the mix between cleans and screams. They don’t do that a lot now. Still amazing but I preferred them then

[@StuTheSoftwareAnalyst]

Josh has been my favorite guitarist since I discovered Sylosis in 2008. The dude is incredible. Always so fucking clean. One of the most underrated musicians in the entire genre. Cant wait for this new album.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Legit one of the best metal guitarist’s ever imo. So much sick shit, the riffs and solos of his are just god level, edge of the earth and monolith are my favorite but the guitar fuckin rules on conclusion of an age and all their other albums, guy is a very special musician. His combo of guitar skill/vocals/songwriting is almost unmatched in metal history in my Book.

[@EvilDrDeath]

Recommended next: Bleed From Within - The End Of All We Know ... same drummer, so good transition... ;-)

[@DragonWyrm]

I seriously did not know this. No WONDER I love BFW's drums so much, they've got the Sylosis drummer!

[@StewinHead]

DragonWyrm actually the opposite. Sylosis now has a drummer from BFW

[@JCavLP]

I knew Ive seen the guy somewhere before!

[@davewetering7554]

Bleed from within. The end of all we know!!

[@adamcastillo3976]

Yesss!! Been asking for Sylosis! Please give more of their music a chance! After Lifeless Years and Emperyal are straight bangers! 🤘🏼

[@Holiiad_Dmytro]

Emperyal is a f***ing masterpiece

[@Lu1zh1]

Sylosis - Kingdom of Solitude Sylosis - Awakening Just listen :}

[@ozzyism7148]

Harm Earth's dust Pretty much the entire edge of the earth album as its a masterpiece. Out from below. Fear the world. Pretty much their whole discography 🤷‍♂️😂

[@sheesh7767]

[@w00tah1]

Harm, Mercy, Servitude, Leech, basically all of Dormant Heart, lol.

[@SoonAfterOfficial]

Out From Below, you will not be disappointed

[@slayer47]

Yeah he should check it out , agree

[@Lu1zh1]

Sylosis - Awakening.

[@SoonAfterOfficial]

@@Lu1zh1 Yes also a great tune

[@ozzyism7148]

Soooo many to suggest! But out from below is a banger. Earth's dust is on point too 👌

[@Spawn-wt6ul]

Sands of Time, don’t forget to listen to that one too! But Out from Below as well is fucking amazing

[@Lu1zh1]

Sylosis - Awakening Sylosis - A serpents tounge

[@CyN_SpiKe]

Two of my favorite Canadians, plus a new band to explore? It's an early Christmas gift!

[@centralia83]

I’m glad ya checked Sylosis out. You would probably like their earlier stuff a lot more. Before josh became the vocalist, Jamie graham the old vocalist of heart of a coward was the original vocalist of Sylosis. They were a lot more technical then, more melodic. Like the songs after lifeless years, and teras. Two amazing songs. Then the album edge of the earth came out and that’s where josh 1st became the vocalist. Still a great album though, songs like apparitions and the serpents tongue. You will have to dip back into them and check those songs out sometime.

[@tomspring213]

These guys don’t have a bad song. I listen to them everyday.

[@calzonie5763]

You should react to out from below by Sylosis

[@ryanscott6852]

Gotta listen to Teras by Sylosis. It's from their 2nd? album, and is fucking amazing. Some of the best riffs ever written

[@chuckclark3214]

Aaaaah! I’m sssssooooo READY FOR FEBRUARY!!!!

[@fayezmarzouq7685]

Great band so glad their back and what a song to start with .2020 is gonna be their year .Hope they tour cant wait to see them live .Check out their song up from below it crushes.

[@pastilance1]

Man out of all reaction channels I dig yours the most! Like it's really valuable to me to find out what you think about certain bands. Also cool way to find out about bands I've never heard before. Happy to finally see Sylosis on the channel, they are just amazing!

[@tylermakwana]

Just an fyi the ending part was the clean parts just heavy

[@jck1794]

yeah it literally was a callback to an overarching melody lol, he definitely missed it

[@MrBoston1630]

How did he not hear that? 😂😂😂

[@metalflower9543]

Sylosis are awesome! 🔥

[@MetalAllDayAllNight]

As an avid listener of both Sylosis and Revocation, I disagree that they sound similar. They play a very similar style of thrash/prog/death/whatever, but they have very different ways of writing songs. You gotta check out more Sylosis. I suggest Altered States of Consciousness. Anything form their album Edge of the Earth is worth a listen IMO

[@ozzyism7148]

Edge of the earth is a masterpiece from start to finish! It's on the same level as "shogun" and "the blackening" for me. That album can do no wrong. The bonus track "earth's dust" is one of my favourites on the album

[@KC_rocka]

Really nice slow, melodic start, then the awesome fast heavy fast riffs came in it was instant playlist material. Please react to Eye of the Enemy - Clay, sure you'll love it.

[@Zerschnitzler77]

oh yeah, those comments were from me, some of them. and definitely the one talking about him being the frontman of sylosis. thanks for checking them out finally, they are my favorite band

[@chrissoulless278]

they are actually a melodic death, progressive ,thrash metal band....they have many awesome melodic parts on their songs

[@johnhalstead7659]

Great track! It just dropped for there 2nd upcoming album. Josh middleton was always in sylosis. He is a member or fill in for Architects after there devistating loss of Tom Searle from cancer. Sylosis is such an underated band. glad you played this new track. There first album is a complete banger . Josh Middleton is one of the best current metal guitarist. You got to react to Emperyal. You might need a seatbelt and a neckbrace for this one!! Keep it up dude! Love your channel !!

[@niallennis3785]

Yo sylosis have like 5/6 albums going back to like 05 or something

[@johnhalstead7659]

@@niallennis3785 Dam your rite! I must have had another band in mind. They have been one of my alway's go to bands for awhile.

[@yosef79]

Galactic... That ending melody you're talking about.. the one you wished they teased us with throughout the song... was the exact opening melody at the very beginning lol.

[@Valkryiesbane]

Nice reaction, they came out with a new song and ep recently. The path, the first song has heriot's singer feat in it.

[@narimanm.9097]

You should check out … every song Sylosis have ever made, actually. You won't be disappointed.

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

Am I right to hear some Trivium in this. I like this.

[@CyN_SpiKe]

Yeah, I can pick up on that.

[@KoRn_NuTT]

I was thinking it sounded like Trivium and Meshuggah had a baby

[@ROFLBOB24]

They have a tinge of that olden Trivium sound. I love it.

[@taunokekkonen5733]

Yes there is Trivium in here. Not surprisingly sinc this is very generic also.

[@GuitarKillerable]

@@taunokekkonen5733 there is not a single bit of Trivium here! Sylosis are a huge fans of the most infuencial bands out there called Metallica and Death. It just happens that trivium are also big fans of those bands. If you knew your history of metal you wouldn´t say that. And for the record Sylosis executes this kind of music 100 times better them trivium.

[@ShimmyThaDon]

The “stand out feature “ you mention was the intro riff lol .. so yes there was reference at the beginning

[@w00tah1]

Josh sweeps like a janitor. Surprised you never reacted to them until this. Their album Dormant Heart from 2015 is phenomenal beginning to end. Not to say that their other albums weren't great (because they are great too) but Dormant Heart is so, so good.

[@Sailor1010]

That ending gives me goosebumps every fucking time

[@DragonKillur]

You captured my thoughts exactly, it's such aN AWESOME fuckin MELODY at the end

[@jimpickens8551]

Heaven Shall Burn - Combat

[@shatlin1988]

Fuckin love these dudes you may also want to check out their track the blackest skyline

[@chrispaananen9406]

I would recommend doing a reaction to "Hero" by Breakdown of Sanity. They have inspiring lyrics at a brutal tone with some progressive styles implemented with wide range of vocal styles and screams. Definitely one of my top favorite bands

[@MrDreamsAlot]

Yes awesome!!! Band!!! Been learning there riffs for years

[@MrDreamsAlot]

And solos 🤣

[@Sergiopinedais]

You finally come back !!

[@TheSatanicHippie420]

You gotta check out some of their older stuff

[@rgt_nexus2561]

I can tell you love those 80s Thrash Gallop style riffs they do so i highly suggest especially because i have only seen 1 reaction of this song. Its a Sylosis song called Teras and the breakdown is about as brutal as a E Standard Gallop breakdown can get very underrated song imo. And sorry for the technical terms im a metal guitarist as well and cant help it😂

Sylosis>>>Architects I was livid when I heard Josh went to Architects because I understood that meant Sylosis would then disband. I am extremely happy to see Sylosis is still at it. They may not be as popular as Architects, but they're one of my all-time favorite metal bands.

If you have spotify I highly encourage you to listen to the Downbeat Podcast episode with Josh because he explains why Sylosis was put on hiatus and it's not what everyone says it was
