UK metal heavyweights Sylosis have surprise-released new EP The Path, featuring a collaboration with Heriot’s Debbie Gough.
The five-song collection came out today (October 3) via Nuclear Blast and includes material recorded during sessions for the band’s 2023 album, A Sign Of Things To Come. A music video for the title track, which has Gough on guest vocals, will come out tonight at 6pm UK time.
Sylosis comment: “While creating A Sign Of Things To Come, we amassed a lot of our best material to date. It was so tough to pick album tracks since we felt so proud of all the music we’d written.
“We’re beyond excited to finally share The Path with you, featuring some of our best songs from that same creative period – we hope you enjoy!”
Sylosis will tour North America supporting Fit For An Autopsy from October to November. The pair will then co-headline a European tour in November and December. Heriot will open the European dates with the main support act being Darkest Hour. See details below.
Sylosis were recently announced as one of the support bands for the North American leg of Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine’s The Poisoned Ascendancy world tour. The band will open the first half of the run, while the opening act on the second half will be Bleed From Within, with whom Sylosis share their drummer, Ali Richardson.
Sylosis singer/guitarist Josh Middleton co-produced Heriot’s debut album, Devoured By The Mouth Of Hell, which was released by Century Media last week. The album received critical acclaim, with Metal Hammer’s Dannii Leivers awarding it 8/10 and declaring, “Heriot’s future is very bright indeed.”
A Sign Of Things To Come, which came out in September 2023, also received very positive reviews. In an 8/10 write-up, Hammer’s Stephen Hill put, “With any justice, A Sign Of Things To Come is the album that will finally take Sylosis out of the British metal underground and into the big time.”
