      It sounded pretty bloody good to me, until the last five minutes of this track. I wouldn't consider myself an afficionado of current metalcore either. I found the ending disappointing, because it was so... dissociative, for lack of a better word.

      They will never be as big as someone like Bring Me The Horizon, because BMTH figured out how to do it. You have to purposely add generic stuff to your music to get popular mainstream wise as a metalcore band. So if that means ST is never as big, then so be it. At least we have an amazing sound to listen to.

    Sleep Token is the only band where I love every single song they’ve released. Every. Single. One. 58 total I think.
    They don’t have recycled riffs, sampled melodys- it’s all unique messages, gorgeous lyrics documenting the human experience in a way, making me feel how I haven’t felt in a long time.
    My favorite song from them? The Night Does Not Belong to god, followed by Higher and When the Bough Breaks.
    But I love all of them. Truly both albums I listen to fully and regularly. They are not confined by genre or audience. They are driven by Worship. And I worship their art fully.

    I like how the guitarists are getting more parts recently. So they don't stand around so much live.
    Also a music video would've been great where we see them perform

    It brings me so much joy to watch this video months later, right after Revolver named Sleep Token as 2023's Band of the Year. The sleepy bois really did the damn thing.

    If you’ve been following this band since 2016 like myself and seen them live prior to when they blew up, it’s amazing. One hell of a journey for one hell of a band.

    I remember this release really clearly. I wasn't streaming but when I got the notification of a new stream I stepped aside from work so go listen and my emotions pretty much mirrored. What an exciting day and it's cool we have this like, frozen in time, you know? The "What? Another one?" then the journey of "Holy shit they're doing THIS" over and over and over for 6 minutes. I'm thrilled with the success they're finally seeing this year with this day as their launchpad.

    Dude... how does any human write such an amazing song? It's not possible! Just... how? This is incredible and Nik I love your reaction because it was exactly like mine. I was sitting in Atlanta traffic and this came on my SXM radio. I was fucking blown away.

    These dudes have always been respectably heavy..not as present in their older music for sure. Calcutta is the first song I ever heard by them and it blew my mind…the lo-fi ethereal choral buildup then the heaviness at the end..such a great song

    I saw Sleep Token when they supported Architects in May in Nottingham. I was like wtf is this amazing cult dressing band?! Loved them ever since. It's so different, and weird. This song is fire 🔥
    Edit: just looked them up and they're British?! Yesss UK coming through with some more awesome bands. He sounds American!

    • @nobicepz
      @nobicepz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Saw them yesterday opening for Architects in Frankfurt, Germany. Never heard of them before and didnt like the songs on spotify that much but damn thats an awesome live band. You feel the chunky riffs in your chest, the culty masked people on the stage make an awesome atmosphere, the way the singer moves gives some chilly vibes. Solid 5/7

    • @reveriesduh

    I was gonna make a Deftones feat Hozier joke like I usually do with Sleep Token but then the insane high cleans and the solo, and the absolutely brutal 4/4 breakdowns…I don’t even have a funny joke anymore. This was just good.

    My reaction was literally about the same as yours. I was FREAKING out lmfao. I've never gotten chills like this listening to anything else before. Immediate love.

    I doubt that’s a sax, I think it’s a guitar with a very different distortion tone (probably fuzz?) playing that part. Still a crazy outro to an already amazing song!
