@@Lu1zh1 Monolith's my favorite album though. I love Josh' middleton clear tone, you can hear every of his picking so well, if he ever did a mistake you'd hear it. He's a great guitarist
Josh Middleton squeezed every ounce of heavy riffage that was left in E standard, what an amazing guitarist. Some of the coolest intros to songs I’ve ever heard, along with amazing sweep passages
Sepultura and Obituary proved long ago that its not the tuning, its the riffs. Arise, Beneath the Remains and Slowly we Rot are heavy shit more than most 17 string one note riffs music nowdays.
I remember the day I got Conclusion of an Age, literally changed my life. One of my favourite records of all time. Favourite track has to be transcendence. Hoping Josh resurrects them after the Architects hype has died down from their new record/tour.
Lol, in Austria they wear 'Lederhosen' instead of fishing rods, but I see where you are coming from :D (Btw great you show your daughter videos of this kind)
Winds of plague is a very underrated metal band that plays in E standard tuning still, check out chest and horns, the great stone war, and decimate the weak, really great guitar work in those songs
Man the one time they had a show together over here in DC Sylosis had that bus crash and we got a shitty cover band instead. At least I got Trivium and devildriver...
So fucking glad you did an entire video on Sylosis. Hopefully Josh watches this and get that fire back for Sylosis. I absolutely loathe Architects but I absolutely understand why he is doing it. I am sure part of him likes the music but he also has to pay the bills. Architects generates a fuck tonne, which is more than a shit load, more money. Great video as always. If you ever feel like doing a Part 2 in the future I am down for it. Cheers.
YES, THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY ALL!!!!!! lol Most of my guitars are in standard tuning! It takes a certain something to make E standard "heavy by today's standards". I friggalicken love it!
I hadn't heard Sylosis till recently (knew who they were for a while though). It wasn't till the Josh Middleton Sig ltd was announced that I checked him out as his guitar is almost spec'd perfectly (pickups can be swapped out easily enough).
Whenever they tuned down it was drop D, otherwise they were exclusively standard tuning in earlier years and later was 1/2 step down or dropped C# like in Children of The Grave, Sabbath sounded heavy because they knew how to play heavy without the crutch of a saggy bottom or 7-strings.
Look at Pantera...most of their whole catalog is pretty close to standard, especially the first couple. Petrucci makes some wicked stuff in standard as well. I LOVE 7 strings though, because it gives you options. Especially writing in a cool key like C on a 7. I HATE just B stuff, just like I hate just E. Get creative.
Like101 proof🍃Super Jamie Ritual🍃Watched it again..bc ..super sweeET!! Big hugs from Big Mama aka StephopalOpal of New Orleans Louisiana..music and Peace ~
Awesome, usually don’t see people make these sorts of videos with Sylosis songs. Paradox, Servitude and Harm are some of my favorite songs besides the ones listed
My favorite songs by Sylosis is "Sands of Time" and motherfucking 'SERVITUDE" and yes I spelled it in all CAPS because that song makes me fucking RAGGGGEEEEEEE \m/ They are the future of thrash metal
Oooh..missed it!! Dang..Jamie!!!🍃Super Hug Ritual 🍃StephopalOpal of New Orleans Louisiana..☆ music and Peace..much Respect!!Thumbs this upTH!! Watch again..Ooh..I shall!! BEST WISHES
Been a Sylosis fan for years! The Conclusion of an Age album is still my favourite album of all time to this day, such a masterpiece. You sir are extremely talented, you nailed these riffs! Sounds so good man!! Thank you for doing this!
I was into LOG but when i heard sylosis , destiny fullfilled . Where the sky ends yeah this the song i heard and i still wana hear it , theres more and What i like is you wana wait for that melodic part and solo, bam!!!
Some of my favorites : Casting Shadows- Sands of Time - Earth's Dust - A Dying Vine - To Build a Tomb . The new "I Sever" is pretty excellent as well. SYLOSIS RULES!!!
Sylosis has been my favourite band since 2010. Josh is crazy talented. He slays on guitar and can draw quite well. Bought a few of his limited prints. Can’t wait for the new record he hinted at on his YT channel late last year.
May not be able to play the intro lead which would make it a little pointless maybe? I don't know but I'm upset there was no love for Monolith... A Dying Vine is a metal masterpiece.
Been dusting off all them Sylosis files and tabs myself lately, You are on the money with them riffs! How about the opening riffs on both Sevitude and Kingdom of Solitude - maybe you are still practicing Kingdom of Solitude because 32nd notes at 120 bpm is pretty f-ing fast tremello picking to be able to play without f-ing up - I might add, the downpicking riff that follows is mighty fearsome as well, must say the interlude is cool too! I know Jamie knows his metal - if you think that Sylosis is one of the most Epic metal bands of our time, you are not alone! Whosoever may make Servitude the first riff they learn, Will manifest Great things on the Guitar in the future!
I’m impatiently awaiting another Sylosis record. They said late 2018, but haven’t heard anything with Josh being in Architects, which he was a great edition imo, he was filling big shoes. Good choice of riffs btw, some of these are the songs of theirs that stick out to me the most, you played them fucking well.
A Serpents Tongue, Beyond The Resurrected, What Dwells Within, Born Anew, A Dying Vine, Swallow The World, Withered, Stained Humanity, To Build A Tomb, Victims And Pawns, Servitude and pretty much any other song has at least one heavy af riff. Fucking love Sylosis, hope they'll release new album soon.
First Sylosis riff I heard was Empyreal years ago, and I swore it was like Behemoth tuning or some shit. I love Josh and these guys. They absolutely fucking rip!
Thanks for introducing me to Sylosis Senpai. Have been grinding them for the last couple of months since I've seen you play one of their riffs in one of your older videos 🤘😍
So happy the Conclusion of an Age album is getting so much love. Was so excited when that debut came out following the 2 EP's. Speaking of their old stuff: The Supreme Oppressor EP is on Spotify, great few tunes on there. Casting Shadows was on there but has seem to have disappeared unfortunately. Hunt it down on YT though!
Finally Sylosis!!
I swear they are truly criminally underrated.
Most of the songs are from COAA. Altho Edge of the Earth is by far their best record and one of the best music albums ever done.
Also check out Passages - Lucid (Album). Its Josh Middleton (Sylosis,Architects)

*Jared Dines dislikes this comment*
But Sepultura had a lot of riffs in D standard and lower
Humanity's Last Breath
And also drumming as well..down tuning makes it heavier I strongly agree but lots of people thinks it’s just about down tuning..
@@drawolcyelsew from Chaos A.d and on.. But their true heavy and massive sound was played on standard tuning.
I remember the day I got Conclusion of an Age, literally changed my life. One of my favourite records of all time. Favourite track has to be transcendence. Hoping Josh resurrects them after the Architects hype has died down from their new record/tour.
The albums almost done, they're probably releasing it after this architects tour
Transcendence es fucking brutal, super fresh and epic
I literally discovered this band last week. As a lifelong metal guy I’m embarrassed that it took this long.
Metal guitarists: "You wont sound heavy unless you tune down"
Sylosis: "Hold my beer..."
Vektor: "Hold my beer, too (tunes UP to 'F')..."
Let's get an 8 Vektor riffs video!
6 string riffs are always gonna be better and more creative imo
@@RaaZVan99 hot take, but what if you wrote riffs in E but played them lower...
@@RaaZVan99 why though?
@@matttaylor1449 literally what Black Sabbath did
I'm a simple man. I see Sylosis in the title, I click on the video.
I see you like kingdom hearts. The video I watched before this one was the kh 2 opening and I cried
Josh is such a talented writer, kinda sad to see him put sylosis on pause but he's killing it in architects!
Heard rumors about Josh already written a new sylosis record and gonna be after the architects holy hell tour cicle. Hope they are true!
@@Rabidshore he confirmed that the album's been recorded in the comments on one of his videos

Sylosis has some of the catchiest thrash riffs out there. Especially their first 3 albums. Very nicely done!
You are one hell of a player sir jamie!
Man I love Architects, but I freakin' miss Sylosis.
It would be awesome if he could incorporate riffs like these into Architects sound.
I’m more of a Sylosis kinda guy
Josh is wasted talent in Architects to be honest.
They said something about new album in 2018 and 2019 and still nothing :( I really miss them....
@@DaxterZA TOO RIGHT!!! anyone can play their shit! Only Josh can write Sylosis level riffs!

So they can fish? Lol the small statues regularly have fishing rods
Lol, in Austria they wear 'Lederhosen' instead of fishing rods, but I see where you are coming from :D
(Btw great you show your daughter videos of this kind)
Holy Shit that right hand movement is sick and on point...damn those down picks were sick...😐...take a bow...\../
Thanks mate!
The very first riff smacked me in the face
Spoods lol right on!! Im loving that first one though all of them are killer to be honest!! It inspired me to triplet my hand off

Winds Of Plague are amazing
You missed 'All Is Not Well"? Heavy AF!

we never said E-standard wasn't heavy. We just prefer down tunings.
Josh Middleton is one of my favorite guitar player , he is so accurate and presice on his playing .
you should check out Power Trip if you haven't already - Texas band, Thrash/Hardcore crossover, in E standard!
Love those guys! Saw em live 3 times last year!
Power trip is mad heavy and mad groovy
I thought Black Sabbath tuned down because of Tony Iommi's fingertips getting lopped off?
He tuned down, but still in standard tuning
@@anggadajatmiko8085 the vid claimed e standard though
After Paranoid he tuned down to C# for most songs. Into The Void for example.

You sir are extremely talented, you nailed these riffs! Sounds so good man!! Thank you for doing this!
Sylosis is back...where the skY ends is my favorit
For E-standard and heavy as balls, you really should check out a band called Arsis if you haven't already dude!
Is Arsis really in E standard? I never knew that
The first one was the best IMO, I think they got a similar Playstyle like MORS PRINCIPIUM EST
There's no way I'm putting my guitar back in to E standard...I've already got one in E, multiple guitars for multiple tunings :D
😅 i've got an e standard too....two strings above drop *e*
I find Sylosis a lot similar to Trivium. So many Ascendancy/Crusade vibes on those riffs. Btw top tier riffs!!
They’re so good!!!
Gotta say I Hate E standard but these guys Kick Ass
But not heavy Ass
😂
Gh0sT it’s ok to have wrong opinions.
Of Course E-Standard Is Heavy... I Use The Tuning as much as The Other Ones! :)
Oh my god, I didn't realise they were in E standard. The Paul is gunna get a proper hammering now 😂😂
Let's face it, down tuning is for singers who can't reach the pitch of E standard.
..or just tune a 7-string to "drop A" (especially if there's 2 guitarists). It'll be there if and when you need it.
I was into LOG but when i heard sylosis , destiny fullfilled . Where the sky ends yeah this the song i heard and i still wana hear it , theres more and What i like is you wana wait for that melodic part and solo, bam!!!
Great stuff Jamie!!! You got Leech on here!! When is the next all killer no filler coming out man?
Great video Jamie, what song turned you to Sylosis ? For me it was empyreal.
Oath of silence!
'Subject to' and 'a dead issue'. Ahhh the MySpace days. The Casting Shadows EP got sooooo many playthroughs when it came out.
Altered states
Servitude
Teras
Some of my favorites : Casting Shadows- Sands of Time - Earth's Dust - A Dying Vine - To Build a Tomb . The new "I Sever" is pretty excellent as well. SYLOSIS RULES!!!
Unpopular opinion : Josh waste his potential with architects. He was straight badass with sylosis .
Kingdom of Solitude is my favourite. I love all the main riff variations.
Rocking those riffs man 🤘🏻 so glad sylosis is back

That amplification sounds always nice every crap technique

1:52 As a non guitarist, i think i'd need a million years to plays this that clean. Great playing friend.
It's fucking hard as shit to play that riff I will give you that, and I've been playing badly for 15 years.
Man! Your right hand technique, uff! Delicious!
Thanks! Took a lot of practise haha

This band is awesome. Teras was the first Sylosis song I heard and I instantly fell in love
1:37 didn't expect that there wow !
Really like the tone, is that really the precision drive into the x50 plig in VST? what IR are you using? Sounds great dude
i like how he liked but didn’t reply
Teras and After Lifeless Years are my favorites
sylosis gotta be one of my fav bands
My fav is still Empyreal, aka While My Guitar Gently Sweeps

Fucking love Sylosis, hope they'll release new album soon.
To build a tomb is so ridiculously heavy. My jaw dropped when I first heard that song.
Diminished notes for life.
Isn't Sylosis in standard D ? That's what Josh Middleton said in his videos if i'm not mistaken.
Lefo Lefo they used to be in drop d then they went up to e standard. But the latest song is in d standard so they could have changed a while ago
Um ... I could be wrong but ... didnt Sabbath tune to D standard , because Tommy's fingers couldn't handle the tension from E standard ?
Think it's C# but yes you're right :)
