Anyone into Sleep Token? (Check out if you like Deftones)

[Leviathus]

Been worshipping for a week or so now. Shit's sick.

 

[Steinmetzify]

God this band is so good.

 

[soliloquy]

Didn't know who these guys were. Came across them randomly via another band named Sleep Dealer (nice lil progy instrumental band).
And holy hell!!! I LOVE their recent stuff! Not really feeling their older, pre dgenty stuff, but their latest stuff seems neat!

Just wait, apparently another single is dropping in *checks watch* 6 minutes.

EDIT: And there it is


EDIT AGAIN: Holy shit this is heavy. More screaming, double bass, heavy guitars throughout, even a solo thrown in. And then it just goes places in the 2nd half and I'm here for it. Chokehold was great, this is fucking amazing!

 

[Emperoff]

BTW, the bass player just kills all the mood and themed live aesthetics with that vintage white bass design from the 70s. I mean WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE. Did no one told him his band is dark or what?

 

[RevDrucifer]

Hahaha I was watching one of their live shows the other night and the entire time kept thinking “Shiiiiiit, this video is prime for a ’Sleep Token Shreds’ video”

 

[DoctorStoner]

They opened for Issues and Polyphia back in 2019, I'd never heard of them at the time, but I was instantly hooked. Definitely a huge fan of Sundowning, but their newer stuff is still enjoyable.

Came here to post that. Take Me Back To Eden coming May 19th. They wrecked my wallet in the preorders. 5 tracks and only a month and a half into 2023 and I think I found my AOTY.

New one is a banger. Probably expect another one tomorrow since they seem to be releasing them in pairs. May 19th is too far away.

You’d be correct in that assumption. Looking like they're going the Sundowning tote of releasing all of the songs as singles up to the day the album drops. I'm active on the ST Facebook fan page so I seem to find out a bunch about what's going on.... Except for an announcement for a US tour for the love of Sleep.

 

[JD27]

Oh that’s cool, wasn’t aware they had done that with Sundowning. I didn’t catch on to them until they started releasing the singles for TPWBYT.

Found this interesting too, apparently Sundowning, TPWBYT, and TMBTE are a Trioogy

"Take Me Back To Eden is Part 3 of a trilogy, a spectacular chapter-closer in the ongoing Sleep Token saga," explains a press release accompanying the announcement. "A saga that kicked off in earnest with debut album, Sundowning."

not a huge fan of their sound but their visual/aesthetic component is 11/10, love the masks and unified concept, super well executed.

Honestly, I don't think anyone knew it was a trilogy until this press release came out.

 

[profwoot]

Can't imagine what trilogy could mean in this case unless they plan to drop the mystique or drastically change their sound after the 3rd.

fuckin....because of this thread title I thought this was some sort of Deftones side project thing and literally spent all these years ignoring this band

poor choice, past me

I think theOP asked the thread title to remove the Deftones part. If y'all are out there, pleeeease do that so no one else misses out on these guys?

 

[Mboogie7]

Fuck me that’s a banger. Definitely my favorite so far.

 

[jruivo26]

Kinda liked the new single but to me it's kinda hard to accept that's the same band as the other singles... I'm not gonna lie, the first time I heard them I thought "this sounds like Imagine Dragons" and never understood the hype.

 

[73647k]

I have probably listened to Aqua Regia at least a hundred times over the past week

 

[Jinn]

The drummer is called adam pedder for those wondering

This dude...
