Die UK Thrasher SYLOSIS arbeiten an einem neuen Album.
Hier die offizielle Meldung:
"Dormant Heart will be the title of the fourth studio album by the U.K.'s modern thrashers Sylosis. Despite the title, it's not a peaceful album: It's about a powerful force unleashing anger against everyday injustice and a sleeping society that lets these things wash over them.
"It's the most pissed-off, aggressive and intense album we've done, yet it still retains the epic, progressive and melodic side we're also known for," reveals Sylosis frontman Josh Middleton. "It's a very gloomy and atmospheric album. We've been through a lot as a band and individuals and we've made our darkest album to date.
"The title refers to people going through life on autopilot and being one of the herd, how a lot of people simply accept the way things are just because it's 'tradition' as opposed to taking a good look at the world around you and thinking for yourself. Sometimes there are catalysts that happen and change our perspective or consciousness."
The album was produced by Middleton with the help of engineer Scott Atkins and is mastered by TesseracT guitarist Acle Kahney.
"It was great doing some of the recording with Scott again," Middleton shares about the band's studio time. "We've got a good working relationship and he's really dedicated to what he does. We like to strive for a very earthy and organic sound. It adds to the human element and brings out the intensity and vibe in the music."
Sylosis began tracking the new album back in March 2014, working away secretly alongside touring commitments. Drum tracks were recorded in May at Monkey Puzzle Studios by original drummer Rob Callard, who parted ways with the band last month due to time restraints. After filling in for some live shows during Sylosis' Spring 2014 tour, Bleed From Within's drummer Ali Richardson is now a permanent member of the band."
