* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Conclusion of an Age''. Jamie Graham's vocals are quite different to Josh Middleton's. This included the album featuring clean vocals, something which didn't re-appear in the band's sound until ''Dormant Heart'' years later.

Sylosis is a British HeavyMetal band formed in Reading, Berkshire. It was formed by guitarist Josh Middleton (currently also of Architects) in 2000. They went through many lineup changes with little success due to a lack of an underground metal scene, only doing a few gigs and releasing an EP. The band's big break came in 2007, where they were signed by Nuclear Blast. Their critically acclaimed debut album ''Conclusion of an Age'' was released a year later. In 2010, their vocalist Jamie Graham parted with the band. Their sophomore album, ''Edge of the Earth'' featured Josh Middleton taking the helm as the band's lead vocalist along with guitar. Their third album ''Monolith'' was released a little over a year later in 2012. Longtime drummer Rob Callard departed in 2014 and was replaced by Ali Richardson (Bleed From Within). ''Dormant Heart'', their first album with Ali on drums, was released in early 2015.
