A Sign of Things to Come is the sixth studio album by British heavy metal band Sylosis, released on 8 September 2023 through Nuclear Blast.[10][11]

Singles and music videos for several tracks were released ahead of the album's premiere; "Deadwood",[12] "Poison for the Lost",[13] "A Sign of Things to Come",[14][15] and "Descent" (one day after the album's release).[16]

"Deadwood" also has a live video released on 17 May, 2023.[17] "Poison for the Lost", as frontman Josh Middleton stated, "was the last song to be written for the album. It quickly became apparent that this was going to be one of the biggest, most anthemic songs on the record."[18]
