Josh Middleton is one of the greatest talents to emerge in the UK metal scene for decades, and he's finally getting the acclaim he deserves with his band Sylosis as well as newer plaudits as a member of Architects.
The guitarist and vocalist has written one of 2020's greatest metal albums with Cycle Of Suffering – a comeback for Sylosis that reminded us of their incredible ability to fuse old school thrash with progressive ambitions.

Cycle Of Suffering is available to buy from Nuclearblast.com
