UK metal powerhouse Sylosis have dropped a bit of a bombshell regarding their upcoming London headline show. Already set to be a special night marking the release of their seventh studio album, The New Flesh, (pre-orders available now) the gig at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on 20th February has just been upgraded to what might be the heaviest bill of the year.
Due to a clash of dates in the capital, the band have joined forces with another touring package. Joining Sylosis and their originally announced support acts Revocation, Distant, and Life Cycles will be German metalcore titans Heaven Shall Burn, melodic death metal legends The Black Dahlia Murder, and death metal icy boys Frozen Soul.
Speaking about the decision to merge the shows, the band said: “Friday 20th February marks the release of our new album The New Flesh and what better way to celebrate than bringing this insane bill together under one roof. As soon as the fans made us aware that both shows were clashing in London on the same night, the penny dropped. This is the heaviest lineup that the O2 Forum has ever seen and a night to celebrate all things metal.”
If that wasn’t enough, the band will also be hosting a special ‘Album Release Party Event’ earlier in the day. Taking place at The Black Heart in Camden from 12pm to 5pm, the free-entry event will feature an album signing session, a full-band Q&A, a merch pop-up, and various food and drink specials.
The New Flesh is out on 20th February 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records. The band have already unleashed the title track and the single “Erased”, giving fans a taste of the “refined brute force” to come. Stream it all over the shop now.
