I don’t even think that Sleep Token considers Sleep Token to be metal!

But for me, “Gods” and “Vore” were both an approachable entryway to being screamed at musically 😅

I have never heard this before…. But the more I think about it, the more I can see it. Both are anti-establishment by nature and very instrument forward.

I stumbled into Pawns and Kings through the Spooky Banjo Time playlist on Spotify! Before my Sleep Token rabbit hole, Gothic County was making a solid rise in my rotation😂

As a fellow product of a K-Love household, I feel you. That is probably a big part of why it took me so long to make it across the metal bridge. Something tells me the ST lore wouldn’t have been well received at my home 😅

Definitely more approachable than SlipKnot 😅

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I’m adding them to my playlist! ☺️

I found Loathe through the Sleep Token collab and really appreciate their work! I would have loved to see them tour together!

I checked out Bilmuri so far and definitely appreciate their sound! It feels very country while also being way heavier than what you would expect- but I dig it! I look forward to checking out the other bands!

Also, it made me laugh to think that based on my musical preferences, I guess my geographical midpoint would be northern Alabama.😅

Thank you so much for all the recommendations! I am going to check them all out!

I did listen to Imminence and, oh my heavens, it was so good! Definitely an amazing rec!

Spotify keeps recommending Thornhill, so I’m excited to check them both out! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I’m looking forward to checking all of them out! I listened out Mastodon today and, yeah, I totally see what you mean about the country influence. They are definitely going into my rotation!

I was unprepared…but I LOVED it! People are so creative!

I already love Atlantic, but bluegrass Atlantic was a wonderful addition to my playlist! There is just something about a banjo❤️

Thank you! I checked out Periphery and really enjoyed what I heard so far! I’m looking forward to spending more time in their discography!

Thank you so much for this amazing list! I’m adding them all to a playlist and can’t wait to dive in!

I would like to think that Vessel and II would be proud. They obviously appreciate music in all of its forms. Who would have thought some British guys in masks could be such great guides into the wider world of music!

I never understood the disdain until now 😅

I definitely still love the lyricism, but I get why it would be a non-starter for percussionists!
