As mysterious as the deity of which they worship, Sleep Token comes blasting through the metal landscape with blissful vocals paired alongside a wide scope of instrumentals. Vessel, the singer, and the front entity have provided little in the way of identity but have given us nothing but a remarkable original take on modern music. Paired with their undeniable spark for live performances shown at Download Pilot and, most recently, the Heavy Music Awards. With 2019’s Sundowning still regarded as one of metalcore’s most diverse albums, Sleep Token has set the bar for themselves as they approach the higher ground.
ST premiered the sophomore album This Place Will Be Your Tomb last Friday, the 24th. It hosts 12 brilliantly mixed tracks each with its own personality. Sleep Token has been praised for its divisive use of genre moulding and thus is no exception. Singles, “alkaline”, “The Love You Want”, and “Fall For Me” stand strong as some of the album’s most distinctive songs. With stadium-worthy gestures in songs like “Telomeres”, to more subtle tones like on “Missing Limbs”. This Place Will Become Your Tomb has a vast landscape where anyone can find something for them to enjoy.
