Sleep token is a band with 4 members on tour, from what I'm aware of, the singer (Vessel) and drummer (II) are the only members in the writing/recording process. "Sleep Token" apparently comes from their concept of the band, with 'Sleep' being an ancient deity and their music as an offering or token. This is the reason for the cloaks, masks, cultlike appearance and their fans using the term 'Worship'

@PatrickMullenDrums Жыл бұрын

@futbolboy16 Жыл бұрын

Ya as a drummer myself those are definitely not blast beats. It's a syncopated kick pattern that the band plays simultaneously commonly referred to as a breakdown or a djenty/chuggy section for lack of better terminology. Blast beats are something different entirely, not only in the sticking pattern but also in the way they are played and how they sound with both the drums and the band as a whole.

About your interesting question about the improvised solos in this style of music: It's true that this style of modern/post/whatever metal doesn't include that much improvisation as everything is often so specifically written. However, for example in this song, the drummer (II) usually plays a drum solo over the ambient section before the funky outro. These kinds of small improvisations are more common in live settings where applicable, but for the most part the musical style just doesn't lend itself that well for improvisation.

Not actually blast beats though. That was just a double bass groove. Blast beats often involve the playing of straight or triplet 16th notes between the feet and hands... the hands and feet are played at the exact same time. The time signature in this song is always in 4/4 btw. 😁

@cam5541 Жыл бұрын

As a jazz pianist myself who loves this type of music, I honestly believe the reason that there is not as much improvisation in solos is simply because the musicians don’t specialize in improv. Not to mention, you can typically create a more conforming part when you can take the time to create it, and these types of musicians prefer to compose songs that sound good as opposed to songs that are technically impressive. But that’s just my take🤷‍♂️

To answer your question about improv in metal, there is some in stuff like prog, and often live guitar players will improvise a little bit, but I think for the most part metal is so focused on the groove right? People want to head bang and bounce, so throwing in curveballs and unexpected stuff can take people out of that. A lot of metalheads listen to stuff for the technicality and skill, but a majority just wanna throw themselves around and go crazy so it's hard to appreciate in the moment

The time signature of the verses and guitar solo threw me off for a while too, but... it's actually ALL 4/4! The offbeat rhythms make it challenging to follow, but if you link up the first vocal line with the same line in the baby-makin' funk portion, ("I've got a river running right into you"), it's the same vocal rhythm. Go back to the first verse and you'll hear that the pattern is the same. it will give you a solid foundation to follow the 4/4 through all of the density.

The singer goes by "Vessel". They have stated as a band they did not really want their identities and any names labeled to them because they want to be appreciated for their music. The identity of the singer has been made, I wont state it here out of respect for the musicians wishes. If people want to look it up that's up to them. I do mention him however simply for the fact you can look up his older stuff in another group and hear the progression of his singing chops which is really cool. "Sleep" was the name in which they gave to the "entity" in which they worship, hence the whole masks, symbols etc. I thought it was a cute play on words cause I sure as hell worship sleep too! haha. Knowing that, I think their band name then makes sense.

Another great reaction! To your point of improv solos, I'd say that's more of an experimental/prog genre-type thing to do. While Sleep Token is prog/metalcore/other (possibly experimental), it's just really not something done too often, as you said. If you're interested in some improv-style solos, I'd go with: The Mars Volta (songs like Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of), Cicatriz Esp, Tetragrammaton (~17 min song)) The Fall of Troy (songs like Rockstar Nailbomb!, Reassurance Rests in the Sea) TMV and TFOT are definitely proggy. Just thought I'd give some recommendations that might suit what you're talking about! :)

I discovered sleep token in 2021 when they were releasing singles for the album "This Place Will Become Your Tomb," and I fell in love with their music. All of their new singles this year have been amazing, and it might be some of the best music released this year.
