After their announced hiatus, the long-absent thrash-metal band Sylosis return with a new album and single. A Sign Of Things To Come and the new single Absent are out. Absent is released with a nifty remix by Zetra on the B-side, which gives listeners something fresh to get their ears into as well as some handy merch. Since being signed to Nuclear Blast Records, Sylosis have been prolific with releases and tours combining to rocket them into fandoms around the globe. Now they’ve returned after a hard-earned holiday, the decompression and refocusing have paid off with interest as their sound still reverberates around the world.
 
A dirge-like bass throbs with industrial clamour and reverb as the music progresses. A vocal begins, angelic vocals gently add melody over the atmosphere and thickness of tone. As palm-muted guitar shimmers in the background as drums add a percussive backdrop with misty veils between them. The vocals adapt with the gradual energetic shifts within the verse section. The anticipation of a high is tangible, a build-up with vibes like this only means one thing. Then it arrives, the vocal changes to screams, vibrant and primal emotion takes control of the projected sensation. The guitar swells to evolved status with heavy chunks of chord mirroring soaring blues solos that sing like woodland birds at dusk. A mountain climbed, and song enjoyed, and a passion for wanting more with Absent from Sylosis. On to the B-side.
