Default Is it just me or is Sleep Token's whole schtick basically MACHINA?

...especially their biggest song THE SUMMONING ...the po-faced pomposity... the lore-ish grandiosity...the mechanical crunch of the guitars...the heavy bits being a bit shoe-horned...ST's entire DNA can be found in The Everlasting Gaze. Not sure if that's a good thing.

Never heard of this group before but I looked them up. It sounds like djent with some vaguely sheogaze atmospheric guitar here and there. I can see what you’re saying about Machina a bit. Corgan was kind of ahead of his time there with that style of rock combining metal/shoegaze at times.

ST are definitely having "their moment", mainly because of this song that feels like something turn of the century Billy could've knocked out in his sleep. In fairness, Sleep Token's masked, anonymous frontman Vessel is a better singer

And this could be Adore era SP easy. Actually his vocals are pretty tremendous here.

That ballad sounds like that overwrought Hozier style stuff. Not impressed and the mask is hilarious.

First song sounds like prog metal. Second song is a piano ballad, and yes there are piano ballads on Adore?

This sounds like, particularly with the way he's singing, something you'd hear on like Mix 108 FM, The Workplace Station. Coming up after the break we've got our Power Block, ad-free for 30 minutes, with Avril Lavigne and Santana!

You said he wore a mask and on the first song I was like, oh man, is that the guy? He looks cool as fuck! When is he gonna move? But it was just an NFT.
