    Sleep Token kicked off their 2023 US Tour at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Danville VA. Check out their performance of Chokehold
    Sleep Token Chokehold Lyrics
    When we were made
    It was no accident
    We were tangled up like branches in a flood
    I come as a blade
    A sacred guardian
    So you keep me sharp and test my worth in blood
    You've got me in a chokehold
    You've got me in a chokehold
    You've got me in a-
    Beneath the stormy seas
    Above the mountain peaks
    It's all the same to me
    It makes no difference
    I've seen my days unfold
    Done the impossible
    I'd turn my walls to gold
    To bring you home again
    So show me that which I cannot see
    Even if it hurts me
    Even if I can't sleep
    Oh, and though we act out of our holy duty to be constantly awake
    You've got me in a chokehold
    You've got me in a chokehold
    You've got me in a chokehold
    You've got me in a chokehold
    Even if it hurts me
    Even if I can't sleep
    Show me the way

      Es muy hermoso esto, sobre todo si sabes que por años estuvieron ahí, muchos no sabían de ellos, de esa calidad musical (aunque otros digan que no hay realmente mucho, para mí hay talento) espero que un día vengan a México. Ellos, en especial este año, significaron para mí más de lo que puedo decir con palabras.

Edit - you did an incredible job of capturing everybody in the band. What phone/camera do you use? The sound was so clear on yours. My phone could not handle the bass and drum hits - they were very muffled/distorted.

      ​@cpjds1 pay attention to his insane vibrato. Vibrato can't be replicated and altered with melodyne or autotune, it creates ugly remnants, very audible. He definitely doesn't use that. There's echo, and reverb on his tech, but no pitch correction whatsoever.

      Their intention was never to establish themselves in their own genre. Since their early work, you could notice that they were always trying to bring elements from various genres into their music. For those who are very conservative in relation to this, it must be a nightmare to have such a "different" band, but for those who want something fresh, something new in the world of music, it's a great gift. For many people, Sleep Token gives us what we didn't even know we wanted

      Yeah, that's rather the point, and I think the reason most of us that do enjoy them, enjoy them so much. It's certainly true for me, anyway. It's not that they're not able to settle, but that they have no interest in settling "where they belong." I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone, though.
