The title of this album arguably would have better suited its predecessor; at the time, Cycle Of Suffering and the standalone singles that followed it sounded like the sign of things to come for Sylosis. With their latest effort, the thing to come has arrived; it’s something I thought could never happen, but Sylosis have managed to make an album I’m not particularly enthusiastic about.

Do the Germans have a word for "very glad this exists but also a bit disappointed"?

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.
