Sylosis - Mercy

     Today's song was an easy choice. A very easy choice. As soon as today's band announced the existence of, and release date for, their latest record Dormant Heart, and subsequently started teasing the release of this song, I knew it would be Song of the Day pretty much as soon as it dropped.

     Yesterday's interview with Eidola deserved an accompanying song (and you should go check out both the song and the interview, because Eidola are a rad bunch of dudes making some rad post-hardcore), which is why I didn't join everybody else in posting about the latest from badass Brits Sylosis when it made the rounds over the last day or two.

     But today is a new day and we've all got a new Sylosis song to jam, so let's get to it. "Mercy" is the first song to be released from the based forthcoming fourth LP Dormant Heart, due out in January, and while it perhaps isn't quite as shreddy or quite as blisteringly fast as some of my favourite Sylosis material, it is still new Sylosis, which means it does still have healthy doses of both.

     Now I just have to decide whether the tease that is "Mercy" will make waiting for January easier or harder.
