Flesh And Blood With JOSH MIDDLETON From SYLOSIS

Flesh And Blood With JOSH MIDDLETON From SYLOSIS

Author: HEAVY Magazine February 26, 2026 Duration: 14:02
Sylosis have been hacking away at metal’s enduring coalface for the last 25 years. 
They exploded into the metal scene with their 2008 debut album Conclusion Of An Age, and have been repeatedly upping the ante for homegrown heaviness ever since. From the epic, thrash complexity of 2011’s Edge Of The Earth and its swiftly-assembled follow-up Monolith in 2012, to the bruised and brooding Dormant Heart (2015), and 2020’s deliriously intense Cycle Of Suffering, frontman Josh Middleton and his henchmen have been consistently at the forefront of all things heavy and brutal throughout their career. 
As they approach veteran status, Sylosis have sharpened their focus and are now making their greatest music yet. As with The Sign Of Things To Come, Middleton believes that the band's new album The New Flesh is a bold leap forward into more incisive and impressive songwriting territory. A towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force, Sylosis’ seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of SYLOSIS in 2025: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.
HEAVY sat down with frontman Josh Middleton to find out more.
