Reading metallers Sylosis have unveiled what Josh Middleton promises is “some of our best material to date” on their new EP, including title-track The Path featuring Heriot’s Debbie Gough.
Sylosis have just unleashed a surprise five-song EP.
Entitled The Path, this release arrives ahead of a busy time on the road for the rest of 2024, while also finding a place for some of the off-cuts from last year’s A Sign Of Things To Come album.
“When we were working on ASOTTC we amassed a lot of material,” explains frontman Josh Middleton. “It was a very creative period and the songs that didn’t make it onto ASOTTC were by no means below standard – far from it! We’re extremely excited to share with you The Path EP. Some of our best material to date! We hope you enjoy it.”

Speaking specifically about the title-track The Path, featuring Heriot’s Debbie Gough, Josh reveals that the song is “about my love and obsession for heavy music. It’s all I need. It’s never been a phase or something I’ll grow out of. I’m immersed in this culture and more than anything, I am still a rabid fan! I think previously writing a song about this kind of thing would have been a no-go for me. Maybe it could be perceived as corny or ‘out of character’ compared to some of the bands previous lyrics but this feels like a very important song to me.”
