Sylosis have announced the departure of their rhythm guitarist Alex Bailey. He had held down that role in the British thrashy metalcore outfit from 2008 up until now. A statement issued on the matter today, October 10th, reads as follows:
“Sadly, we have to announce that our guitarist, Bailey, will be stepping down from the band due to not being able to commit to our upcoming touring schedule. We want to express our gratitude for his years of dedication to Sylosis and the great memories we’ve shared. Bailey is one of the hardest working, most loyal and amazingly talented band mates we could have ever asked for. We still remain close friends!
Bailey also has a new musical project, COSEN, who we urge you to keep an eye out for. He will be joining us onstage at our upcoming London show with Fit For An Autopsy.
You will be missed Bailey!
We’re excited to welcome our good friend, Ben Thomas, to the band. Some of you may remember him from our tour with Malevolence last year. Please give him a warm welcome!”
Alex Bailey said in a separate statement:
“After 16 awesome years of riffing around the globe, the time has come for me to step down from Sylosis.
The balancing act of touring with business commitments and a young family is no easy task.
I’ve forged lifelong friendships, created unforgettable memories, and lived out my childhood dreams.
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported the band and me over the years.
You might catch me for the occasional show appearance, but until then… keep shredding!
AB“
