Music Tuesday #252: The absence of thrash is not a bad thing

The best ballads come from metal bands.  That's a given.  Now and then, a metal band re-invents itself and does something that is bigger than the genre reviewers like to box them in.  No boxes on Music Tuesday.  Somehow I find this more impressive than Disturbed's Sound of Silence, which I heard at a live concert in 2016 for the first time.  I somehow didn't get into that.  While this song touches the right nerves with me.

No idea why though.

In case you wonder too what Sylosis could mean?  I looked it up.  Apparently it has no meaning.  There, now have a listen.
