Architects Recruit Sylosis' Josh Middleton For Tour

(Metal Hammer) Architects have recruited Sylosis frontman Josh Middleton as a guitarist for their upcoming European tour. He's stepping in temporarily in place of Tom Searle, who died in September aged 28 following a three-year battle worth cancer.

And as a result of the move, Sylosis have announced that they'll take a break from further activities to allow Middleton to help out his friends in Architects.

Sylosis say in a statement: "We wish to inform our fans that Sylosis will be taking a temporary hiatus. Most will know that Josh is close friends with Architects and he will be helping out with guitar duties for their upcoming tours on the All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us cycle.

"With respect to Sylosis fans, the band has decided to take some time off to allow Josh to focus on these commitments." They add: "Rest assured, Sylosis will be back with a new record in the future but for now we hope we have your understanding and we'll see you all soon." Read more including the dates here.
