Mad About Rock

  British metal powerhouse SYLOSIS are preparing to take their monumentally heavy, riff-fuelled live show across the Northern Hemisphere. Next week, the band will be launching head-first into a collosal month-long trek across North America alongside Bleed From Within, Great American Ghost and Life Cycles. To set the stage, SYLOSIS have released a break-neck live video for their track 'All Glory, No Valour', filmed during their career-defining performance last month at The Forum, London, a highlight of their biggest headline tour to-date. SYLOSIS commented: "All Glory, No Valour is a collective favourite from The New Flesh. Since the early demos, the song always stood out as one of the most aggressive that the band has ever put together. Instead of a standard video, we agreed that releasing a live version of it at some point would be best so listeners could really connect with the energy of the track. Filmed at our biggest headline show to date at London's O2 Forum in K...

  UK metal powerhouse Sylosis will be unleashing their most ambitious outing yet; a 31-date headline tour, hitting major venues and cities across the UK and Europe in early 2026. Fueled by their growing catalogue of crushing riffs and relentless live energy, Sylosis are set to dominate stages from Helsinki to Barcelona. The run will feature their two biggest UK headline shows to-date, at the 02 Kentish Town Forum, London (20/02) and 02 Ritz, Manchester (21/02). Sylosis stated: "This is it. 5 years of building towards a UK/EU headline tour with a bill that we are truly proud of. We've been touring hard for the last few years and never been stronger as a unit. This is our time to step it up and show everyone what a Sylosis show is all about. Revocation are true legends of the genre and it's an honour to have them as a part of this. Distant are one of the hardest working heavy bands out there and rounding off the bill is one of our favourite bands to emerge out of the US in r...

  Storming metal unit SYLOSIS have released the video for the vitriolic 'Soured Ground', taken from their most recent EP, The Path. The band have also announced a limited vinyl run of the EP which can be purchased now from https://sylosis.bfan.link/the-path On the release of the new video, the band comments: "Following the success of The Path, it was clear that we had to immortalise these songs on some form of physical media. We knew the songs were strong, but did not expect them to connect with people the way that have. In light of this, we have a very limited pressing of the EP in coke bottle green with custom etching. The finished product is stunning and we can't wait to share it with you. To further celebrate the release, we shot a new video for the song Soured Ground. This was the obvious choice for the video after seeing all the fan feedback. We have a limited number of signed vinyl available on our webstore and on tour in Europe this month. Be sure to grab yours...

Greed, war, corruption, it’s almost impossible to free yourself from this cycle. You inevitably serve a lower purpose." Stream the new single here: https://ffaa.bfan.link/lower-purpose Watch th...
