Genre: Melodic Death Metal / Thrash Metal | Country: UK | Label: Nuclear Blast | NB 3311-0 Britain's Sylosis neatly cut out the generics of not one but two of metal's
categories in their flexible fusion of melodic death metal and thrash.
Theirs is a specifically fresh and individual approach, wilfully
endeavouring to set themselves apart as an evident outlier in modern
metal. With the push for originality which many contemporary bands in
melodic death would set out to achieve by incorporating variations of
thrash or metalcore into their sound, the former exceeds its foundations
in the style and success of Dormant Heart.
A riff-centric basis to the record strengthens its thrash lifeblood,
receiving an emphasis in the mix to the point of driving much of its
melodic progression across a fairly differentiated track-list.
Overcoming the common problem of track distinction frees Sylosis' song
writing considerably, and allows for twelve differing angles to their
own stylistic shape of metal, here presenting a rare achievement in what
is a varied album for either of its melodic death or thrash metal
bases. The manner of combining these two primary elements is done in a
distinctive and original fashion, with no obvious influences worn on the
sleeve.
The harsh and clean vocal arrangements retain the strongest and most
consistent connection with the band's melodic metalcore roots, from
which Sylosis have since chosen to stylistically progress beyond
throughout their studio efforts, and situate their sound in the
intensities of a melodically branded thrash in Dormant Heart.
An atmospheric aspect is hinted at in a number of its tracks, from the
record's opener in the shorter "Where The Wolves Come To Die" to the
significantly differing closer in the nine-minute "Quiescent," a more
tranquil outing of slow pace, gentle rhythm and commendable clean vocal
performance. Its situation after a continual series of cuts averaging at
about four-and-a-half minutes apiece makes for a widely differentiating
conclusion to an album consistently driven at much higher tempos, an
exception being the slow and heavy syncopation which introduces
"Servitude". The manner of production suitably places greater emphasis
on the predominant rhythm section and the vocals, though the cleans can
be buried at times such as in the atmospheric allusions of "Harms" as
the track is guitar led to its conclusion.
