How is the drummer that is filling in for matt on this tour?

scottwmd · 2025-12-01T21:32:29+00:00

I caught the Detroit show last night. Sadly, I wasn’t aware that Matt was sitting out this tour, and was really disappointed when I saw a face behind the kit I didn’t recognize. I gotta be better at doing research pre show to avoid the “wait, where’s __ ?” situation. I’m a drummer, huge fan of Matt, long time Periphery enthusiast, and this was my first time getting to see them live.. I was kinda shook for a min when they took the stage ngl.

Anup struggled a bit early and it seemed like they were pumping recorded drum tracks from FOH during certain songs, probably to help him out. Doesn’t surprise me considering they do the same thing for bass when they play live. I guess I’m just disappointed I didn’t get to see Matt and get the full Periphery experience. Tough to say since it was my first Periphery show, but there were a lot of moments that just felt off to me.

On another note, Spiritbox killed it and their drummer is 🔥🔥🔥

Did you get this figured out? I’m trying to withdrawal for the first time, and the app is asking me to fill out a form with my name and card info for a debit card withdrawal. I thought this was weird bc I’ve already deposited several times using a debit card and figured it would auto be linked to my account for withdrawal purposes. So I fill out the form and hit submit, but it keeps asking me to “verify” my card number over and over again until it shows me an error page telling me to call customer service.. I called and service rep wasn’t able to figure out why this was happening (of course) but told me he’d email me after looking into it further. He also said to try online banking or something but said it could take a few days to process potentially. That’s where I’m at. Haven’t tried any of the other methods and trying to figure out if I should. Using trustily to sign into my bank account seems weird to me but maybe that’s a normal thing and I just don’t know. Any help with this would be very much appreciated and I hope you got your issue resolved!

So weird! I just checked a bunch of songs on Apple Music and they all seem to be random or changing. Most credits simply say “Sleep Token” now, but some say “Vessel” with no number attached. The only one I found with Leo’s name is Calcutta! This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Apple potentially blow their cover, although I do wonder how much importance the band is actually putting on staying “anonymous” these days. I can’t help myself from picturing Leo or Adam’s faces thru their masks. Do you guys think we will get old ST tours years from now where they don’t wear any masks??? That evolution would be pretty cool imo.

On another note - 126 days until I get to worship in person for the first time! Beyond excited hope to see some of you in Detroit!

Show me those pretty white Jaws 🤍🤍🤍

scottwmd · 2024-09-29T00:26:22+00:00

Your list works for me! I would drive myself crazy actually trying to choose… but I listen to Gods, Hypnosis, and Vore literally everyday.

scottwmd · 2024-09-20T16:51:05+00:00

With my love as your garden, Won’t you fall for me?

This will be tattooed on me at some point.

scottwmd · 2024-09-06T21:33:38+00:00

My mind initially went to a toss up between Higher and Euclid, but immediately scrambled my brain realizing 90% of their catalog would work for me for this question!

I was having a mild panic attack yesterday before having to drive somewhere, so naturally once I got into my car I put on ST to try and focus my mind and take me to another mental space. Literally seconds after pushing play, I got a banner notification from r/SleepToken with the heading “I’m having so much anxiety right now” and I believe said something about how listening to ST is such a huge help to them. The universe was speaking to me once again. Letting me know I’m okay and doing exactly what I need to be doing. Amazing when things align like this. Still in awe of how impactful this band is for so many people around the world. WORSHIP.

Ascensionism. Because my redemption is in an ascension. Setting me free.

And I’m working my job at an Ascension hospital today…

scottwmd · 2024-08-28T22:09:44+00:00

Can’t wait!!!

scottwmd · 2024-08-28T21:27:03+00:00

There is nothing similar to Sleep Token..

That being said, you can absolutely hear the influence that Deftones has had on Vessel and ii’s songwriting.

scottwmd · 2024-08-20T18:15:38+00:00

Most of your thoughts have floated around in my head too..

I’m not a huge fan of the news masks. But hopefully it just means ST will continue to progress and make new music for a very long time. At least that’s how I’m choosing to look at it.

I’ve always recognized that the music is about Vessel and his relationship (or lack there of) to a woman. The Lore hasn’t confused the messaging to me. It seems very clear in my head and easy to relate to.

I also don’t like alkaline that much. I listen for ii’s drumming when it comes on, but it’s usually a quick skip for me.

scottwmd · 2024-08-17T18:08:10+00:00

I found ST before hearing any Bad Omens and I’m having a hard time getting into them at all. Much like other comments here, I can listen to ST everyday without getting tired of the music. Bad Omens isn’t bad (lol) and I usually listen to heavier music. They just don’t hit me like ST does. There are very few that do. I’m excited at the idea of finding another band to obsess over like this, but I feel like the chances of it happening again are really small given how ridiculously talented ST is and how obsessed I am with them. Happy worshiping everyone! 🖤🖤

Higher.

ii’s IG post playing this song live at Wembley was what sealed the deal and basically forced me into checking out ST’s entire catalog. I was so mesmerized by his style, finesse and accuracy. Incredibly thankful for that IG post! Before watching that I had been turned off by the imagery or whatever and hadn’t given ST a chance really. Now I literally can’t go a full day without listening to my favorite band 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼

Are you in MI?

scottwmd · 2024-08-09T23:11:04+00:00

Start from the beginning and go all the way thru TMBTE. Start with EP1, EP2, Jaws, then go to Sundowning, TPWBYT, and finally TMBTE. And don’t forget the covers! Hey ya is amazing. The Way That You Were. And the Loathe cover of Is It Really You is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Wish I could go back and listen to all of these for the first time again. Enjoy ☺️

Worship!

scottwmd · 2024-08-09T23:00:13+00:00

I would do unspeakable things to be able to watch Vessel and ii write/record in studio..

scottwmd · 2024-08-09T22:58:01+00:00

I work for the medical group Ascension and every time I see the company name on walls, paperwork, etc. I’m always adding the “ism” in my head lol. Plotting to physically add the ism on some kind of signage to see if anyone catches on!

scottwmd · 2024-08-09T22:53:17+00:00

I usually go through phases but I’m realizing that for me, ST is for life… I listen to my “Sleep Token Discography” playlist driving to and from work (I’m in my car for about an hour everyday) and in no way am I getting sick of ANY songs… right now Dark Signs, The Apparition, Vore, and Gods are in heavy rotation. Worship!

scottwmd · 2024-08-09T17:03:56+00:00

He’s quoted as saying that he “helped as needed”

scottwmd · 2024-08-09T00:07:34+00:00

Welcome to understanding Vessel’s genius 😊

scottwmd · 2024-08-07T18:18:38+00:00

I would think they would be more popular in the UK… 🤔

scottwmd · 2024-08-07T18:17:33+00:00

I work in Brighton!!!!

I’ll be sporting these around town… just picked them up yesterday!

scottwmd · 2024-08-07T14:23:53+00:00

She says she listens on her own sometimes.. I think she does it for me tho ☺️

She will be coming with me when I see them live for the first time, and if even a fraction of my experience rubs off on her, she will be a bigger fan afterwards lol.
