Sleep Token - Vore

[@SH-cr2yt]

VORE: The female praying mantis devours the male during mating. “Your viscera welcome me In“ “Your flesh and bone welcome me in” “so let’s get swallowed whole, I wanna go where nobody else will ever go”… “Walls of flesh, so warm again, we step into my suffering”… “My only need, welcome me in”. “Follow me between the jaws of fate” What I’m interpreting this is a deep love for a female & he wanting to be completely consumed by her, the love brings him immense pain & all he wants is it to be consumed by her & to be seen, heard, felt, understood. Devour me with all my pain That’s just my personal take from this song

I love songs that start slow, like soft and gentle, and slowly ramp up to overpowering and either deeply painful or motivating (ascensionism with that ending part, god yes, as well as tmbte). I also like song that start by punching you in the throat then wobble all over the place and have terrific screams. That is, of course, what vore is (as well as the new architect song (curse)). it is also called vore. That is a very ballsy move. Especially without a super obvious metaphor, like this is a song you don't immediately know what its about, except that is involved eating people. that's bonkers. sleep token is a hell of a band.

I’m gonna get roasted for this but maybe I deserve it. I just today like literally in the last 30 minutes began listening to Sleep Token and I’m instantly a fan. Boom done. I’ll be 50 years old in a few months and I tell ya, don’t ever stop letting yourself be amazed in life. As we get older there’s a tendency to be the old man screaming at clouds by whining that things aren’t as good as they used to be. I get it. I’ve said that and many times it’s kinda true. But there are pockets of newness we still get to discover where we are pleasantly surprised by something akin to a breath of fresh air. I knew about these guys for a few years but upon just seeing an image of them in their costumes and hearing a 10 second clip of them during one of their deathcore music moments, I didn’t see or hear the genius everyone was talking about. I was like, ok that’s been done and done. Next. But giving it another chance today im like 10 songs in and woah…I get it now. Sorry im late to the party, I brought the salsa?? Sleep Token is great.

Rare a band can be so utterly punch you in the face brutal one second, then vulnerable and surprisingly thoughtful the next and yet have it work seamlessly. ST play close attention to balance and contrast, both lyrically and musically which allows everything a chance to breathe and be more impactful. Their transitions and resolutions, on this song and all I've heard from Sleep Token are on another level. Attention to detail is always very impressive. Great time to be alive and a fan!

[@NorthLight68]

@@MrEcarlson462 yes I agree and you're absolutely correct. Deftones, Tool, Meshuggah, Opeth (you could go on and on) have done it before. Remarkably, what ST have seemingly done is elevated it to altogether another level. But agreed they're not really pioneers. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, who knows? But to this dudes ears, ST are just doing the little things and attention to details that makes them sound slightly different. In that sense, they actually remind me more of the band Ghost, and how they both approach songs/music. And to be honest bro, I look forward to all the beforementioned bands new music as well!

The sentiments are so refined, yet somehow so raw. The aggression, the longing, the sadness, all so perfect.

[@Aulaein]

WOW, this song is intense. In more than one way. Some songs that start out that way tend to lose their momentum and energy, but not this one. It somehow still manages to carry that intensity through the breaks in the blast drum heaviness, then effortlessly resumes right where it left off. A lot of raw emotion going into this song as well, that in my opinion, the instrumentation, lyrics, vocal style/delivery and overall flow seem to capture perfectly. There's just something so beautiful and painful about it. Anger, sadness, frustration, maybe some jealousy. I think the fade away suits this song well, but I just wish that ending breakdown didn't fade so quickly. Overall, this song is really showcasing Vessel's vocal ability, but those screams are nuts. I think this is definitely going to be my new favorite song from them.

@GnralexPlus the only band I can think of is black veil brides. And that doesn't make any sense at all. Don't think this song sounds like BVB at all. Also it's kinda lame to say they did or didn't reinvent of something. Cause 1. They have a unique sound for sure. They're fusing elements from a lot of our favorite genres and making it accessible to audiences of other genres. Fusion done successfully. Their style is also very diverse across albums. But reinvention would imply paradigm changes. 2. They are definitely really .. i cant think of any other word than radical right now. They're definitrly pushing boundaries like many other bands sharing the same space as them. As far as metal is concerned. So they are reinventing.. kinda. I think fans should just sit back and enjoy the ride instead of making such value statements. This is what makes bands over and under rated. Being over or underrated is not a judgement on the thing itself but more of the consumer's reaction to the thing. Worship.
