I'm fairly new to sleep token, I've only been listening for a couple of months. What drew me to them was how unique their sound is and how specific yet relatable their lyrics are. Also the anonymity thing is really cool, gives them an aura of mystery (and allows them to live a normal day to day life which I'm sure doesn't hurt lol)
@@TheBlorweymevery example I've ever heard sound nothing like them. Heard everyone say they're like Tool, Falling in Reverse and Tesseract. Listened to them and didn't like them at all and general vibe couldn't be further if they tried.
I cannot even tell you how much I love them. I'm a huge lover of the instrumental aspect and would watch ii's Drumeo all day long. It's fascinating and they are so talented! The fact I go through a million genres in just one song and it actually sounds good is crazy! Whether you like the band or not, the talent they all have should be acknowledged.
I am very new to this band. I think I heard the first song from them in July of 2024. I have become obsessed though. I love how they blend so many style and genres together with a drummer who is insanely good. I also like how they have created a lore behind the band and music like a video game or RPG. I think it is genius.
Been a fan since Jaws in 2018. Saw them with Issues in 2019 and left my jaw dropped. Just an aside, III and IV are permanent members and have been for a bit. III has been with them since right after their formation (He was asked to join in late 2016) and the current IV (He is the third guitarist to have been IV) took over the role around the release of TPWBYT in 2021. He had worked with them in a different capacity before that. Though neither have been involved in songwriting so far and Vessel and Ii have played pretty much everything on the recordings so far (Except for George Lever playing bass guitar on everything up until the Eden album), It has been hinted that now that the band is well established and the lineup solid that they very likely will be pretty involved in the material and studio going forward.
Hi!! I am a new fan and it is definitely my cup of tea!!! Drinkin. It. Up. I am absolutely In-Love with the lyrics foremost. Like, grab a dictionary and go down a rabbit hole with the depth of the words chosen. Let the science color images in your mind. So damn good to me!! The music itself is hauntingly romantic and I love the switch ups!! (Led Zeppelin started my love of changing melodies and beats around) I love the fusion of genre styles. 🤯🤯. As far as the masks or their image, I am on the fence. BUT Slipknot (again, grab a dictionary) wore masks and they are Legends... so Sleep Token is on their way to build their own empire and I am here for it.
I've been a fan of Sleep Token since I came across them on UA-cam back in 2018 with their song Jaws. The release of Sundowning in 2019 just cemented my love of their music. I am 59 years old, and had spent about a decade pretty disillusioned with the direction that music in general was taking. At the time, I thought it was something that naturally happens with age! Sleep Token have blown that theory out of the water! Having said that, neither the anonymity nor the lore play any part in me liking them. It is solely the music, lyrics and Vessel's hearbreaking and beautifully sad vocal quality. I have been aware of their identities since 2020, which has given me the opportunity to listen to Vessel's previous band, but I respect their wish and have never divulged it to anyone. As for the lore, as an Atheist, I am of course skeptical of personal testimony. The fact that this deity appeared in a dream, sort of suggests it was just a vivid dream/ nightmare. I don't question Vessel's experience just his conclusion. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I started listening to it because it’s my girlfriend’s favorite band and well I started with bloodsport and I just thought of my past relationships and just was lucky I found the right person and I feel like I kinda connected with vessel when I heard it
Love sleep token! A buddy kept begging me to listen since we live all the same music an now that’s all I listen to! I’m late to the Sleep Token party but fk 3 weeks straight an im loving it
Worship! Genres don’t really matter. The offerings to us stand out from the monotony of the majority that gets backing. Of course there are exceptions and they are appreciative of this band as well from what I have seen…It’s the willingness to lay bare the soul, with a beat, piano, heavy as shit drop, or the perfect lyric able to speak to such a place in the guts…relatable as hell if you still have a soul and know big words. The masks are a given. Would you want the masses to know who you are if you laid yourself bare? If you can’t at least respect the stunning talent and attention to detail you are probably a cretin. That’s fine, just don’t hate on us because we can empathize so damn hard. There’s all kinds of basic shit out there. Go be basic and leave the worshipers alone, especially Vessel. Or open up to the terrible beauty and worship with us…
I mean. It’s just a work, it’s not real, and they know it’s not real. It’s just pretty much method acting. I’m not gonna say their names, but you can literally find out every member of sleep token by googling. Including the fact that a couple of them were credited on the album production for a short period of time before they changed it to keep the continuity

They literally sound like a Christian rock band. Good examples are red and tfk.

I went to their gathering on the 16th and it was amazing!! They are an amazing band and the songs are so personal and beautiful

I get to see them next weekend at Sonic Temple. I’m so excited!! 😁

i like it... Reminds me of Type 0 Negative
I like them they remind me of early finger 11. Like greyest of blue sky's album
objectively, their music is more of an art. and music is an art. you don't find music like that nowadays

Love the music could do without the theatrical shit.
Radical christians turn me off almost as much as their origin story. Cool song but weird gross vibes.
