New Flesh [With Booklet] (Jewl), Sylosis, CD

When the going gets tough, metal gets heavier. Sylosis have always been devoted to the fine art of breaking necks, but in recent times, the urgency of their mission has grown exponentially. Still surfing on a wave of acclaim and the effusive fan response to their last album, 2023's A Sign Of Things To Come, Josh Middleton's virtuoso wrecking crew are poised to release their latest and best album, The New Flesh. A towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force, the band's seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of Sylosis in 2025: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.
