From A Sign of Things to Come (2023). A Sign of Things to Come is the sixth studio album by British heavy metal band Sylosis, released on 8 September 2023 through Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Sylosis' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
