    If someone calls themselves a metal fan, but can't appreciate the true artistry and beauty in Sleep Token's songs, then they are lost in a shallow pool of close mindedness.

      I also feel sort of similar. It didn't seem like he was really allowing himself to feel the song because he was trying to do a "good reaction". Which I get, but also didnt sit right with me

    This song focused more on ambiance and general sonic composition. The production is so spacey for it to be a metal track and yet there’s djenty guitars that come in later in the track. I loved that. I wish more metal bands could focus more on creating atmosphere and a feeling rather than just heaviness. Idk how they aren’t as big as BMTH when literally everyone I’ve mentioned them to has loved them.

    I think Vessel is reliving a moment outside of time and space and after each death ties a new ribbon up to mark the number of attempts. Kinda reminds me of the gameplay concept for Dead Cells.

    It’s not that I didn’t like it, just not my thing. Respect though, these dudes overall are very good
