Cycle of Suffering is the fifth studio album by British heavy metal band Sylosis, released on 7 February 2020 through Nuclear Blast.[5] [6] It is the band's first studio album since their hiatus in 2016, as well as their first to feature bassist Conor Marshall and drummer Ali Richardson, replacing Carl Parnell and Rob Callard.
A music video for the song "I Sever", the first single from Cycle of Suffering, was released for streaming on 6 December 2019.
The band is mostly playing in D standard tuning on Cycle of Suffering for the first time since the EPs Casting Shadows and The Supreme Oppressor, instead of E standard tuning on their previous full-length albums, though "Idle Hands" is tuned down to D-flat, the main tuning on their next album A Sign of Things to Come.
