Frontman Josh Middleton explains: “The title refers to people going through life on autopilot and being one of the herd. How a lot of people simply accept the way things are just because it's 'tradition' as opposed to taking a good look at the world around you and thinking for yourself. Sometimes there are catalysts that happen and change our perspective or consciousness.”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDormant Heart\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e retains the distinctive \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSylosis\u003c\/strong\u003e sound; a mixture of intense heavy guitar riffs, breakdowns, thudding rhythm and Middleton’s growl. Stomping opener \"Where The Wolves Come To Die\" unleashes an aggressive start whilst \"Leech\" provides those breakdowns and epic choruses. \"Mercy\" demonstrates the mix of galloping rhythm and melodic guitar riffs whilst Josh fiercely declares ‘there’s no redemption’. Aptly named closer \"Quiescent\" displays a less forceful side of the band with over 9 minutes of solemn prog-like balladry. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMiddleton adds, “It's the most pissed off, aggressive and intense album we've done, yet it still retains the epic, progressive and melodic side we're also known for. It's a very gloomy and atmospheric album. We've been through a lot as a band and individuals and we've made our darkest album to date.”\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47530846847194,"sku":"SYLOSIS-DORMANT-HEART-2LP","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/1000x1000_2f9bf621-7da8-478d-8189-c1180c332fb2_2023.jpg?v=1769198120","url":"https:\/\/metaledgemag.com\/products\/sylosis-dormant-heart-2lp","provider":"Metal Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
