I make loud guitar noises and have unpopular opinions. If it’s underground alternative or progressive metal, I probably like it.

Shrouded in complete anonymity, Sleep Token’s identity often lies in their robes and distinct masks. There’s even a deep lore surrounding the band’s characters and their cult-like imagery for those who are into that, however, to me, this isn’t what defines the band. Sleep Token are rather defined by contradictions, led by heavenly R&B-esque vocals […]

REVIEW: Invent Animate Searches For Heaven(er) With New Album

Mateo Ottie 0
