British quartet Sylosis returns with a new album titled “Dormant Heart” which is going to be released on January 23rd via Nuclear Blast Records.
Having found the ideal mixture between melodic death and thrash metal putting their individual touch on it, Sylosis doesn’t experiment in “Dormant Heart”, using once again the successful formula they created themselves.
The record kicks off with “Where The Wolves Come To Die”, a song in slow tempo with heavy rhythm guitars together with a melodic riffage and brutal vocals leaving a nostalgic feeling to the listener. “Victims And Pawns” comes next to speed up beginning with a classic intro of high-speed drumming and a little bit of tremolo picked guitar until the first solo of the album appear. The vocals here are impressive highlighting the strenght of Josh Middleton in scratchy singing.
Next song is the title-track of the album where its calming slow tempo intro might trick you. The track quickly turns into a thrashing holocaust with sharp guitar riffs kinda reminding me of Pantera. The drums are blasting for good while you will surely love the insane guitar solo in the middle of the song.
“To Build A Tomb” is characterised by Sylosis’ ability to blend different music-styles creating a polymorphic but well-structured the same time song. Beautiful bridges link the numerous riffs each other forming an amazing composition of progressiveness.
“Overthrown” is the first track where clean vocals appear while the brilliant solo will blow your mind. “Leech” is the second single released from the album, a groovy, solid song of pure heavy metal.
So goes on the rest of the album. Brilliant compositions alternate between melody and aggressiveness in an awesome record with incredible production. I could talk about every single track of the album but what I have already wrote should be enough to make you drooling!
Sylosis achieved to impress us once again with “Dormant Heart” which is going to stick in our playlist for long time.
