#81: Sylosis Guitarist/Vocalist Josh Middleton

Josh Middleton, guitarist and vocalist for British metal band
Sylosis, guests this week on the podcast. Chuck and Godless chat
with him about the local metal scene in England, their bad
luck with touring and vehicle wrecks, and they grill him on
why he hasn't asked his girlfriend to marry him yet. New album
Dormant Heart comes out on the 13th of January, so we play a song
from that as well. Chuck and Godless dissect a recent
announcement that Nuclear Blast made with the
label's 2015 release slate, and they use that a
springboard to try to figure out where labels are
going nowadays. Is it better for labels to stick with bands
who are well-known and will sell lots of albums? Have the days of
big labels taking chances on bands gone by the wayside? What does
it take to make it on a label these days? They also get suckered in
by an unsigned band's Tweet, and are pleasantly surprised by
their music. Songs:Sylosis - "Mercy"Napalm Death - "Cesspits" Learn
