My entire life I’ve been a person who vehemently avoids anything trendy. Usually, what the masses move toward I find to be vapid and cliche in a way that speaks to mindless indulgence, rather than repeating truths.
I avoided Sleep Token, not in a gate-keeping or tear down sense- I simply wasn’t interested. But this year I finally gave in out of curiosity. And damn. I’m so deeply in love with how strange and inconsistent their sound is, how full of pagan mysticism, lyrical prowess, and instrumental talent. This is one of those rare cases where something is exploding because it genuinely speaks to something deeper in the mind and soul. I’m here for it. Thanks for writing this.
You're most welcome. I think my partner feels the same about them. Watching how the crowd reacted to Caramel at Download I got the sense that fans have a lot of love for them, and really connect to the emotion in their music.
