Weirdly reminds me of Blake Richardson of BTBAM, who also is very precise and wastes no movement. It's also interesting to compare ii with Mike Malian (Monuments), who hits VERY hard and has almost a wild economy of motion. Both band's newest albums also mixed by George Lever, so the drum comparison is right there.

@@Kyle11011For a couple of the members, that’s somewhat accurate. They’ve gone through a couple lineup changes since the beginning, with Vessel and II being the only original members. The founding guitarist was Stanley Kubrick’s grandson (he’s openly stated it so it’s not a big reveal or anything). Most of the band were friends with Vessel but working on other projects, notably a blackened deathcore band lmao. Bringing Vessel in is what completely changed the music trajectory.

@@taylormorrison3595 all due respect, it sounds like you haven't listened to a whole lot of their songs. Summoning and Take Me Back to Eden are probably their most famous songs, and yeah, those two are pretty long...not like Metallica long, but still, definitely long for a radio song...but most of my favorites, like Sugar, Mine, The Love You Want, Chokehold, Dark Signs...those are 4-5 minute songs. But I think the stuff to listen for is the diversity. There aren't a lot of groups who can successfully navigate pop, indie rock, R & B, metal, and other genres too, weave them together, make good music AND still maintain a coherent "sound." They aren't a metal band trying to do something else with their new album. This is a fully formed vision, and it's damn well made. Of course, that's just my opinion.

This is my introduction to Sleep Token & just let me say thank you. I'm a huge fan of prog, metal, pop, hard rock, r&b, etc. & I really love the musical style they mesh together. Heavy atmospheric music that keeps a focus on song & melody while also having a heavy tonal quality is sorely missing from the metal scene. II's drumming is technically brilliant, but it's what & where he chooses to play that's really interesting. I'm an instant fan...

Oh… enjoy this rabbit hole. I’ve been a fan of theirs since 2018 or 19… I can’t recall exactly. It’s been so awesome to watch their fanbase explode with the release of TMBTE. They deserve this so much. Best band I’ve ever seen live, ever. The lyricism is incredible. Just all of it.

Not sure what genres of music you're into, but chances are there will be at least one Sleep Token song that will speak to you. They are so diverse, yet are anchored by a central sound/theme that is uniquely Sleep Token. I'm a (former) gigging prog metal guitarist myself, who listens and plays everything from metal, alternative, folk, country, and classical music to r&b, rap, dance, and d&b/electronic music. There are elements in Sleep Tokens music that draw from almost every single one of those genres, and they somehow blend them all seamlessly. Amazing band, with amazing individual musicians and songwriters. I'd recommend checking out their entire catalogue.
