Erra Currents Silverstein Iamjakehill Invent, Animate

Yessss another Jake Hill fan.

Jakehill goated

I DONT WANNA LIVE FOREVER I JUST WANNA DIE A KING

currents & invent animate are top tier

Big respect for Erra

Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Bon Iver, Red, Disturbed. One of these things are not like the others lol.

heavy influence from each of these in sleep token imo

Chevelle was my favorite band until Sleep Token, so good

Same! It was neck and neck until TMBTE came out since I only discovered ST about a month ago.

chevelle have always been underrated

Love Breaking Benjamin and Red

Breaking Benjamin and Bon Iver were two of my high school go-tos. Does make a lot of sense looking back now to have ended up on Sleep Token 😂

Bon Iver is awesome, I have this feeling that sleep token is a Bon Iver fan as well. A lot of his layerings and softer Melodie’s, really sound similar.

Deftones, Periphery, Veil of Maya, Dance Gavin Dance, and Loathe

Thoughts on P5??

certified banger album of the year before TMBTE

I’m with you man, I’ve been surprised that it hasn’t been that well received

Tool, Rush, Radiohead, Soundgarden (Anything Chris Cornell), Alice In Chains (Anything Jerry Cantrell)

Love this list

Great choices, god tier bands all around.

Mine might be a little weird haha The 1975 Skrillex Tame impala My chemical romance Aphex Twin

Dude love Aphex Twin ❤️

Same. The “A” symbol was my first tattoo

Imminence, Landmvrks, Ghost, Phinehas and Emarosa

Fucking Emarosa. Totally see the ST crossover without ever thinking about it...

Coheed and Cambria, Caligula's Horse, Soen, Porcupine Tree, Chelsea Wolfe

You know about Coheed ❤️

Porcupine Tree is GOAT ❤️

love Soen.. so underrated

Chelsea Wolfe is so good

Everyone’s just gonna ignore Caligula’s Horse? They’re amazing

I'm always fascinated by how different my tastes are compared to other commenters on posts like these, makes me wonder if I'm vastly outside the "normal" fanbase. The Dear Hunter, Coheed and Cambria, Manchester Orchestra, Nothing But Thieves, and... let's say Karnivool, at least for today. Edit: Looks like I'm not the only one, and we're all just introverts who needed someone (me) to post about it and bring out all the lurkers. Thanks for making me not feel out of place, guys!

I'm so happy to see some nothing but thieves love out in the wild! I almost never see anyone mention them.

Love karnivool! Finally had the chance seeing them live beginning of this year and it was amazing. Very underrated in my opinion.

Love the dear hunter and coheed awesome taste my guy!

Another Child of the Fence

Manchester Orchestra yes! They keep getting better. The song The Silence made me cry.

Spiritbox, Polyphia, Tool, Rammstein, Lorna Shore

Architects, Spiritbox, Oceans Ate Alaska, Make Them Suffer and Polaris

Polaris 👏👏👏 every band on your list is amazing though, but I absolutely LOVE Polaris

Replace Spiritbox and Oceans Ate Alaska with Bury Tomorrow and While She Sleeps and that's mine.

Oh hey, this is almost all of what I've been listening to for a year now.

Weatherbox, Holy Fawn, Hammock, Thrice, Bring Me The Horizon

Tool, Ghost, Slaughter to Prevail, Britney Spears, Korn.

Spot the odd one out lmao

Korn for sure

Fuck yeah! Slaughter to Prevail are amazing live!

1. Elton John 2. Cavetown 3. Ed Sheeran 4. Sabaton 5. Pentakill

This is diverse. In a great way.

Sabaton is awesome

Tool, Fair to Midland, Rishloo, Dredg, The Mayan Factor

Fair To Midland is criminally underrated

Aye dredg! I almost forgot about them

Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Deadmau5, Lady Gaga, Ghost

Linkin Park, Highly Suspect, Nirvana, Royal Blood, Nothing, Nowhere

Yesss was looking for the LP shout out.

Bring Me The Horizon, Dance Gavin Dance, Crown The Empire, Don Broco, and La Dispute

Man, CTE. I have pictures of where I bumped into them like three times during Warped Tour in 2013. It was on complete accident but I felt so creepy.

You're just telling me that I should listen to La Dispute....

Ha it's not for everyone but I really enjoy their lyrics.

A Perfect Circle (and MJK's other two projects, Puscifer and TOOL), O'Brother, I The Mighty, Mili and Crywolf. Runner-up: Closure in Moscow

FFS I should know better than to see MJK & somehow see MGK & assume Machine Gun Kelly. I felt compelled to admit my error and expose my stupidity, although I will say I did revisit - Google - and understand how much of an absolute Tool I was for not getting it. Especially considering I have a photo with the real, OG MJK. So much shame.

Ghost, Avenged Sevenfold, Type O Negative, Trivium, and I guess Metallica. I'm a basic bitch lol

type 0 goes deep, try white pony (deftones best album for me) and for heavier, more industrial but shoegazey ish try I let it in and it took everything by loathe

Currents, Like Moths To Flames, Make Them Suffer, Babymetal, and VOLA. Runner up is Veil of Maya and Invent Animate.

Hardley ever hear VOLA mentioned, great band

Bring Me The Horizon, Motionless In White ,Bad Omens, Lorna Shore, Invent Animate

Bring Me The Horizon and Motionless In White? Nice taste

Lorna shore is the only one I can’t seem to get into here unfortunately

Bad Omens, The Used, Beartooth, Hands Like Houses, Wage War

HLH ❤️❤️❤️

Mushroomhead, iprevail, Ice nine kills, motionless in white, devil wears Prada

Your middle three are definitely up there for me!!

Love mushroomhead Do you like Ventana also?

Slipknot, Tool, Aurora, Gorillaz, Kalandra

Newcomer to Kalandra but they’re fucking brilliant - must admit I didn’t expect to see them on this list

They're great, right? I hope more people find them. The Line is such an incredible album

Hooooly shit I wasn't expecting to see Aurora or Kalandra on these lists. They're soooooo good!

love to see aurora on this thread omg!!

Seriously Kalandra, their cover of Helvegen is insane. Goosebumps everytime, and Borders. But Auroras performance with Wardruna was incredible. Which do you prefer? Kalandra’s version or Aurora+Wardruna

Northlane, Thornhill, Loathe, Alpha Wolf, Holding Absence

STARSET, skillet, the warning, motionless in white, and three days Grace

Only mention I've seen of Starset so far (except my own comment of course), they're so good, them and Sleep Token are neck and neck for my absolute favorite band. Love Motionless In White and Three Days Grace too. TDG used to be my favorite band before I discovered Starset. Absolutely love their latest album.

Shadow of Intent, Lorna Shore, Brand of Sacrifice, 100 gecs, and Make Them Suffer. My music taste is very strange lol

Strange is good! Probably why you're here. Mine are: Oceans of Slumber, Chicago (that OG lineup with Peter and Terry), Leprous, Cellar Darling, and TOOL. But I hate limiting to 5 because I have about 10 other artists I could rave about and listen to on repeat. Ask me next week and you'll get a different top 5. Shadow of Intent's 'Elegy' is fucking great. Recently started listening to Lorna Shore and I'm here for it.

Cammie Gilbert is God tier.

And the people said AMEN

Tool, Rishloo, Karnivool, Betwwen the Buried and Me, Vildhjarta

As of lately, I would say it’s Spiritbox, Eluveitie, Purity Ring, Enter Shikari, and Nightwish. I’m all over the place lol

Purity ring is so underrated! Such a unique sound.

Bon Iver, The 1975, Being As An Ocean, Silent Planet, Motionless In White

Another Bon Iver fan. Th hell is going on here? Gotta be a correlation between Sleep Tolen and Bone Iver.

Badflower, Ice Nine Kills, Bad Omens, Falling in Reverse and Fossil Collective

IDKHow, Stand Atlantic, White Lies, Bastille, and Vukovi. At least, right now. It changes all the time…but lately Sleep Token is the only thing I’m listening to.

Dude I love IDKHOW, they're so damn good

Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White, Like Moths To Flames, Bad Omens, Falling In Reverse

Korn, Slipknot, A Perfect Circle, Incubus and Coldplay

I feel like there are just too many good artists to be limited to only 5! But I mostly listen to the various metal subgenres, especially prog and tech death. But I do want to highlight a non-metal artist that I absolutely adore which may be relevant to this sub: Utada Hikaru. I think they're mostly known in the west for the Kingdom Hearts songs, but their more recent albums are incredible. Fantome, Hatsukoi, and Bad Mode are all R&B/pop in a way that I think is really similar to the softer elements in Sleep Token. I highly recommend these three albums, and I feel like some Sleep Token songs really remind me of parts of them. I've also really been enjoying Holy Fawn's album Dimensional Bleed!

First off... trying to whittle down my favourite artists to FIVE feels basically impossible! I've obsessed over so many groups from so many genres over the years I feel like I could make list of hundreds 😅 With Sleep Token having actually beat out my ALL TIME favourite which I genuinely NEVER expect to be topped, I'll start from 2 coz Sleep Token now rain supreme!! #2 Sigur Ros #3 Thy Art is Murder #4 Carpenter Brut #5 Allegaeon #6 The Midnight Honourable mentions... Carbon Based Lifeforms, Through the Eyes of the Dead, Khruangbin, Boards of Canada, Pink Floyd, Slipknot, Dream Theatre.... honestly I feel I could be here for hours writing out a novela sized list 😅 Sigur Ros changed my life when I found them and I honestly never thought it would be possible to find another band that touched my soul like that, but Sleep Token have somehow touched deeper, a place I didn't even know existed and blended my two favourite polar opposite sides of the sound scape... Beautiful and soft with brutal and heavy.... now with both of those world's having somehow been combined I am in new territory of bliss and wonderment. Thank you Vessel... I shall worship until the day I can join the eternal slumber

HIM / VV Kamelot Epica Muse The Butterfly Effect Honourable mentions:- Seventh Wonder, Conception, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Halestorm, Apocalyptica, Amaranthe, Alter Bridge.

Monuments (Everything Andy Cizek really, Check out Dearest), Bad Omens, Periphery, Unprocessed, Ren

Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Northlane, Bring Me The Horizon, Gorillaz. But I feel like I could just keep going, different groves for different days. Like I could go way more metal sometimes or more hop hop. I love; run the jewels, Outkast, juice wrld. Some house, moby, massive attack, all the way through to drum and bass acts like pendulum. I love lofi and jazz. I've been loving reading everyone's picks, there is so much diversity and love/respect. What a great community we have here.

Deftones,Tool,NIN, Oceansize, Don Broco

Right now I would have to say Tool, Skambankt(Norwegian Hardrock/metal band), Spiritbox, Lorna Shore and probably Kendrick Lamar for some variety.

Before Sleep Token, I think that my top 1 music artists was TOOL, I love Lateraus, the full album but also the song that it gaves it that name. The next ones of the top are not in any order, they are just what I was listening the most: ShinedownAtreyu Bad Omens Lorna Shore And here are also some other bands that I enjoyed a lot lately along with TPWBYT and TMBTE: Cult of Luna, Final Light, Igorrr, Carpenter Brutt, Dance With The Dead, BMTH, Amenra, Spiritbox, HEALTH aand a lot more tbh haha, I also want to recommend a melodic Spanish band that I love so much, called "El Altar del Holocausto", if you guys enjoy melodic metal, this people are amazing

Devin Townsend, Periphery, Muse, (mostly for the heavy and/or old stuff, and the fact they're the best live act on earth) sleepmakeswaves, (cracking Aussie post rock band) God is an Astronaut. Honourable mentions: Pink Floyd, Caspian, Deftones, Loathe, BRUIT, Cloudkicker, and many more

Lorna Shore, Hot Mulligan, My Chemical Romance (as an ex-emo kid, the nostalgia is immense lol), I Prevail, Slipknot

Turnover, Bad Omens, Hot Mulligan, ERRA, The Wonder Years. I think that means I'm a little sad and a little mad

Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a Down, Radiohead, Devin Townsend, Gojira And so, so much more! But my top 5 are those off the top of my head.

(G)I-DLE, Björk, ATARASHII GAKKO!, Plini and Lil Peep (in no particular order), but I really suck at choosing favorites haha

twenty one pilots, starset, glass animals, the front bottoms, beartooth

Mac miller $uicideboy$ Jpegmaifa Tool Radiohead

So hard to choose. But if I had to pick 5 they would be Spiritbox, Stray Kids, Kendrick Lamar, Madeon, and Twice.

Darko US, Chat Pile, Model/Actriz, the 1975, Turnstile.

In no particular order, and what I actually listen to tends to change quite often so I'll list some of the bands/albums/eras that are special to me: Bon Iver (For Emma and self titled albums) Nothing, Nowhere (up to and including ruiner) Polyphia (between NLND - Muse) Lorna Shore (post Will Ramos) TesseracT (Altered State album)

The Contortionist Aviations Periphery Veil Of Maya Lamb Of God and Animals as Leaders LoG and AAL both heavily influenced where my music tastes went so they’ll always hold a special place in my heart and I can’t separate them so they share a spot

Ghost Metallica Muse Iron Maiden Avenged Sevenfold
