Just go down the whole sleep token rabbit hole! It’s worth it. (Will Ramos is a big fan of Sleep Token)

[@paul8129]

I agree with this! You won’t be disappointed

[@halowars2253]

Sleep Token are masters of atmosphere, genre-bending, and a slow-burn build. They're rarely heavy for heaviness' sake, but rather us it as a tool to convey meaning and emotion.

7:50 “This song is so slow so soft”. Me: Oh just wait. 11:48 Listen to Vore.

[@inviz88]

This song is kind of a mixture of the whole album. Songs The Summoning and Vore is what I would suggest if you want a some nice heavier songs. Thanks for the reaction.

Headphones would have made a huge difference. There is an epicness you missed. It hits your chest.

Vore by them is more in your wheelhouse, lots more screaming, but they’re not much of a screaming band. It’s more like a very good pop singer, with high level poetry in his lyricism, and loads of genre meshing like jazz, pop, funk, r&b, metalcore, hard rock, folk… i mean with a singer like this and the incredible drummer they have, they can literally dabble inti any genre they please and that’s the real appeal since they do it all, but at a very high level.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

they don't get "fast" as such but there are heavier songs; from this album, Chokehold, The Summoning, Vore, sections of Ascensionism, The Apparition from the first album Sundowning: The Offering, Gods bits and pieces from the second album, This Place Will Become Your Tomb they're a genre-bending band that are often emotional and atmospheric, sometimes poppy, sometimes heavy; there's not a lot of screaming, it crops up occasionally but it's most intense on the new album the best things about Sleep Token for me: atmosphere / build / ambience, the musical variety (I like pop as much as much as rock as much as metal and they do it all equally well), the lyrics and the lore, the absolutely incredible musicianship (all the recording is done by Vessel, who sings and plays every instrument, and "Vessel II", the amazing drummer; they have two other members who join them when they play live)

[@eliahdayton3448]

I like to say that sleep token writes emotion, not music. They are typically slower but their harder songs are The Summoning, and Vore. This band is different than most others. Going in with your expectations set right will help. Try to check your musical notions at the door. Enjoy the rabbit hole. They have a unique sound and way of structuring their songs.

[@babradams626]

Look its 8 minutes cuz its 3 songs. Hes pleading his case to his goddess to get to be himself again and not her avatar. This is a song that gives a glimpse into their story

[@302CastleMusic]

Sleep Token has a lot of variety. Vore is fast paced and heavy af

[@bobbyja123]

Great suggestions from inviz9126. I would throw The Offering and The Love You Want in with those suggestions.Just to get a good range of what all they can do.

[@norahdenovan8658]
