Here is something for Sylosis fans. The band just released a brand new song today but that's not all. You also get to see the cover art that will grace their new record Dormant Heart. First of all, check out the first taster from the forthcoming release and watch the official video for new track "Mercy" here. Did you enjoy that?

Commenting on the track front man Josh Middleton states: "Mercy is the first single off the new album. It's got a pretty dark and heavy vibe to it but it's one of the most melodic tracks on the album at the same time. It's got a big slow, doomy outro with an octave pedal on the guitars so that's going to rumble some guts live. For this video, we wanted to keep it dark and claustrophobic. It's got some of the artwork from the album and inlay illustrated as well which came together really well."




The artwork was created by Bristol based artist Bonfire (Opeth, Satyricon, Katatonia), who has previously designed some t-shirts for the band. On the theme of the artwork, Josh comments: "The cover relates to sacrifice (the sacrificial lamb is more of a symbol than something to be taken literally) but also the looming, oppressing figure in the background represents corruption and being forced into something against your will."

Pre-orders for the new album are now live at this location but the release will happen in January 2015 via Nuclear Blast.
