Pepper admits that:- "It’s been a real pleasure after all this time to get back with the COC lads and start jamming again and creating music. We are having a blast! We've have had so much support from all over the globe and landing on a fest like Bloodstock really sums it up. We’re honoured and cannot wait to up the fuckin' hammers in the middle of nowhere in merry ol' England! Thank you! Ohh yeah, don't forget me cider….!” CoC kicked off 2016 by launching their own ‘Wiseblood’ beer with the Three Floyd’s Brewing Co, announced a US run with Lamb of God & Clutch, and are also hard at work on a brand new album.

Either way, we’re hoping to bring our biggest ever show and even some new material. After the historic, record breaking crowd of 2014, we’re looking forward to being back on that stage, although a custom-built, floating glass pyramid ‘Scarecrow Stage’ would have been nice.

Sylosis unveil new track 'Different Masks On The Same Face' ahead of their impending UK Tour1/3/2016 Sylosis have unveiled a brand new track titled 'Different Masks On The Same Face'. The song is the first new material since 2015's acclaimed album 'Dormant Heart' it's also the first recording to feature new drummer Ali Richardson and it sounds intense, listen below: Comments vocalist and guitarist Josh Middleton: "The track was sort of leftover from the Dormant Heart writing period. It's a little bit different for us and isn't necessarily a new direction we're heading in by any means. We figured instead of that track going to waste that we would release it as a kind of one-off single. For me it's one of the heaviest songs we've done. It's got a sort of punky black metal vibe to it. Really dark and aggressive sounding. It's really straight to the point and ended up being the shortest song we've ever released but it's still a riff fest. The title of the track came from watching hours of David Icke lectures last summer!" The UK will soon be treated to an onslaught of heavy metal technical prowess as two of the genre's finest bands; Sylosis and Decapitated embark on a co-headline tour of blasting drum beats, complex bass lines, shredding riffs and drilling death metal vocals. Widely hailed as “One of the UK’s finest modern metal bands” Reading’s Sylosis released their fourth album “Dormant Heart” via Nuclear Blast back in January 2015, which was widely applauded for meshing fast-paced thrash and death metal sounds with a more doom-driven sludge creating melodic metal songs that garnered them an opening spot on an arena tour with Lamb Of God and Megadeth and a packed out crowd at Download Festival that summer. Sylosis frontman Josh Middleton comments on the upcoming tour: "We're extremely excited about this tour. It's great to finally be playing a full length set for our very patient UK fans! With this package I think it's really worth the wait. We've been huge Decapitated fans since the time Nihility came out so just getting to watch them every night is going to be awesome.” Ticket links and full tour dates below: 2nd March: Bristol Marble Factory 3rd March: Birmingham Rainbow Warehouse 4th March: Glasgow Garage 5th March: Manchester Academy 3 7th March: London Electric Ballroom 8th March: Colchester Arts Centre 9th March: Plymouth The Hub 10th March: Nottingham Rescue Rooms 11th March: Brighton Concorde 2 12th March: Norwich The Waterfront |
