│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Hailing from the UK, SYLOSIS is back with their ║ │
│║ fourth Nuclear Blast album ôDormant Heartö. The ║ │
│║ album will be released on January 23, 2015, but ║ │
│║ Metal Temple had the privilege to review the ║ │
│║ album before its release date. It comes in with ║ │
│║ 12 tracks and is just under an hour of brutal ║ │
│║ and aggressive listening time. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band was formed in 2000, when founding ║ │
│║ member Josh Middleton was just 15. In 2008, the ║ │
│║ quartet released their first full length through ║ │
│║ Nuclear Blast Records, ôConclusion Of An Ageö. ║ │
│║ The blended metal of SYLOSIS was an instant hit ║ │
│║ for European metal scene. Fast forwarding ║ │
│║ through the years, the band has shared the stage ║ │
│║ with the likes of LAMB OF GOD, KILLSWITCH ║ │
│║ ENGAGED, DEVIL DRIVING, and TRIVIUM. ôDormant ║ │
│║ Heartö is not peaceful; it is powerful and it ║ │
│║ unleashes anger towards everyday injustices and ║ │
│║ a society that sits ideally allowing these ║ │
│║ injustices to happen. According to Josh ║ │
│║ Middleton ôThe title refers to people going ║ │
│║ through life on autopilot and being one of the ║ │
│║ herd. How a lot of people simply accept the way ║ │
│║ things are just because it's 'tradition' as ║ │
│║ opposed to taking a good look at the world ║ │
│║ around you and thinking for yourself. Sometimes ║ │
│║ there are catalysts that happen and change our ║ │
│║ perspective or consciousnessàö ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôWhere the Wolves Come to Dieö starts the album. ║ │
│║ ItÆs a slow intro that morphs into a methodical ║ │
│║ march. The album opens with a track that tells ║ │
│║ the tale of the lack of humans thinking for ║ │
│║ themselves. The musician ship here in ║ │
│║ incredible. It sets the tone for the rest of the ║ │
│║ album. ItÆs extremely melodious, but the ║ │
│║ guttural vocals give the track a dark tone. The ║ │
│║ overall sound is heavy and sad, but that quickly ║ │
│║ changes in track two, ôVictims and Pawnsö, to an ║ │
│║ aggressive pissed off-ness that progresses ║ │
│║ through the rest of the album. The vocals in ║ │
│║ track two are pretty intense and do love that ║ │
│║ there was tone alterations and even some ║ │
│║ scratchy singing. The guitar riffs are beyond ║ │
│║ perfect and the drums keep everything inline. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The title track slows the tone down a bit. The ║ │
│║ guitar intro is that of beauty, that change ║ │
│║ quickly into a darker and heavier track. The ║ │
│║ drums are much more blast beat in this track, ║ │
│║ but are a perfect addition, and never too overly ║ │
│║ done. The guitar solo is insane and itÆs the ║ │
│║ catalyst that allows for the abrupt slowing of ║ │
│║ the track towards the end. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The bass beauty, or track five, ôOverthrownö. I ║ │
│║ love the bass in this track, and if youÆre a ║ │
│║ bass lover, this is a track for you. There is ║ │
│║ tons of melody and there is the appearance of ║ │
│║ clean vocals. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I could talk about every single track on this ║ │
│║ album because the musicianship is just so good, ║ │
│║ the lyrical content is executed flawlessly, and ║ │
│║ the production is incredible. But to keep this ║ │
│║ review at a readable and attention keeping ║ │
│║ length IÆll just say ôDormant Heartö has made my ║ │
│║ list for Best of 2015 albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Some honourable mentions for the album are: ║ │
│║ ôServitudeö, ôIndoctrinatedö, ôHarmö, and ║ │
│║ ôQuiescentö. All of these tracks have something ║ │
│║ in them that make them unique and an interesting ║ │
│║ listen. ôQuiescentö is the closing track and it ║ │
│║ is incredibly soft and completely different from ║ │
│║ the rest of the album. Welcome to acoustic ║ │
│║ SYLOSIS. It is a beautiful nine minute piece ║ │
│║ that serves as a calming aspect, but itÆs ║ │
│║ beautifully haunting, even the vocals are ║ │
│║ cryptic in nature. The track doesnÆt last as an ║ │
│║ acoustic piece, but it keeps the same tone and ║ │
│║ the same melody. This is an exceptional track ║ │
│║ that makes the flow from soft to hard seem ║ │
│║ effortless. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôDormant Heartö is not dormant by any stretch of ║ │
│║ the imagination. It is hard, it is aggressive, ║ │
│║ and it is a truth. The melody, the harmony, the ║ │
│║ impressiveness SYLOSIS has as a band; it is all ║ │
│║ here in ôDormant Heartö. This is without a doubt ║ │
│║ one of the best of the year. ║ │
