What's the Sylosis song that you are most proud of or what song would you first play for someone who never heard any Sylosis?

You guys aren't the typical melodeath, but I would still call you thrash+death metal with melodic elements. Will we be hearing new stuff from your past side projects (Passages & self-titled band), or even a new project? Also excited to hear your collab with Ingested.

Loving this series so far! Here's the question I posted in the last episode - Did you learn anything from your time with Architects that you're now applying to Sylosis? Could be anything from production, certain techniques, marketing strategies, or just helpful advice.

Agree 100% on C#. Of course, lower tunings can work too but C# is the lowest I find you can go whilst still maintaining that tightness on gallops etc. Machine Head really nailed that tuning system lol

Discovered Sylosis in 2009 and from the trends that bands were following and certain genres becoming less or more popular at the time, I was always worried that Sylosis would lose the thrash element and move over to more of a prog style like so many heavier bands did, but Im so damn happy that you guys stuck to the genre you are passionate about and every album has just been better and better. Keep up the awesome work Josh! If I could ask a question, I know you mostly play with Peavey and Mesa amps, but would like to hear your opinion on other brands like Engl for example. Tech talk is the best talk.

Holy crap would never have guessed you like American Head Charge! Still one of my favourite albums ever, such a fantastic voice with crazy catchy hooks. A question then. When did your ethos for gear change? I met you a few times during the EOTE tour and you mentioned that you liked amps with only one channel, like your Gower modded JMP and you were using Les Paul Access guitars. Was it that your ear changed or did you hear a particular band or listen to albums that used stuff like the 6505 and variants you use now?

Hey Josh, you said at some point you usually have about 40 projects on the go at a time and tend to dip between them working on each of them at different times. I work pretty much the same. How do you tackle project organization when they're still being written and possibly don't even have names yet? My folder of WIP songs is just a mess of random stupid working titles. Thanks

@JoshMiddletonOfficial
6 ай бұрын
I roughly go for 'modern' setting (if it's the newer multi watt like i have), bass 6, mid 4, treble 6, presence 1, gain 6, ALWAYS boosted with something to tighten up the front end of the amp. Usually an OD808 with gain off, level at noon and the tone just above half way

Hey Josh, I really loved the Arch Enemy tone match you did. Quick question about mixing amps. When mixing amps, it is standard to have one dominant amp 100% left/right and the 2nd amp, let's say, 80% left/right? I've always been confused on that. I thought most people would have amp 1 on the left and amp 2 on the right but it never sounded right to me in practice. Thanks!
