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 Conor Marshall on bass (before switching to rhythm guitar in 2024), 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.
