Originally focusing on a sound born more out of punk and metal, the group began their experimental techniques with their first album "UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE," which demonstrated their natural affinity for creating a brutal yet heartfelt sound that has pleased fans at their live shows around the northwest.
"A COLD BREATH OF WHAT IT TAKES" futher pushed the envelope with a greater focus on melodies and vocal dynamics that comes across brilliantly in songs like NALU, A Letter To Divide, and Amendments To A Sick Art.
After A few line up changes and 2 years of work on and off the road, SYX brings forth "AUTOPSY OF AN AQUARIUS." A.o.A. hopes to be the new direction of heavy music, creating a genre all of it's own, only to be called OR-Core. With a style that could only come from the Northwest, Oregon Core is born.
New drummer Scott Walker intensifies the line-up with blistering double bass and a fresh outlook on traditional metal drumming, pushing SYX to the breaking edge of their extremes. Additional guitarist, Sean Simons, was added to further the melodic capabilities of the band, as well as the severe brutality of their sound.
With an intense live show, SYX have earned the opening slot for many national acts such as: Slipknot, Slayer, Machine Head, It Dies Today, Hatebreed, Remembering Never, God Forbid, Super Joint Ritual, American Head Charge, and many more.
This isn't your older brother's metal. SYX have continued to develop their unique style and fresh take on modern metal. Looking to break away from the Nu-Metal genre, but not completely abandoning their roots, SYX takes a more direct approach to their music; refining their skills as musicians and further developing their style. "We have taken all the things we feel we did best on our previous record and really capitalized on them. You can expect a heavier sound with a lot more melody at the same time. We wanted to keep the energy level high, without sacrificing our melody." (Jasyn Warren guitarist of SYX)

Syx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me back
take me back
through this cinematic flickering
let the fog on our window melt
I've never met a partial friend who would never leave
cloudy are the things we try to say
I STILL SEE WINTER
in my mind's blind eye
COLD SKY FILLING UP
with the color of our breath
FOOT PRINTS SOLACE
in the way we step
TEACHER SPEAK SOFTLY
shw me how it all will end
NEVER SEE WINTER
NOTHING IS LEFT
NEVER AGAIN WILL THIS COME FULL CIRCLE
NO ONE IS LEFT
REMEMBER THE ONES WHO STAYED
NEVER SEE WINTER
I STILL TRY HOLDING IT CLOSE
only now so distand
JUST IN MEMORIES
will I remember those freinds
TAKE ME BACK...
THE ONLY ONE WHO IS LISTENING
IS DEAF AND NO ONE ELSE IS CARED ABOUT
NEVER SEE
The lyrics to Syx's song "Winter" express a longing to go back to a time in the past, when things were simpler and there was a sense of comfort and familiarity. The first verse uses the metaphor of a cinematic flickering to describe the hazy and uncertain memories of that time. The singer's desire to go back is amplified by the repetition of the phrase "take me back." The second verse offers a more concrete description of the past, with images of footprints and a teacher speaking softly. However, even as the singer tries to hold onto these memories, they still see winter in their "mind's blind eye," suggesting that the present is still colored by the past.
The repeated phrase "never see winter" takes on multiple meanings throughout the song. At first, it seems like a simple declaration of the singer's desire to go back to the past. However, as the song progresses, the phrase becomes more ominous, suggesting a fear or dread of the future. The final lines of the song seem to suggest that something significant has been lost, and that the present is bleak and empty without the people and memories that have been left behind. Overall, the lyrics to "Winter" convey a powerful sense of nostalgia and longing, but also a fear of the unknown and a sense of loss.
