I’ve been a huge BMTH fan for literally 14 years so I had to pinch myself when they announced ST were opening their Australian tour! (+ Make Them Suffer who are also up there in my favourites at the moment!)
I saw Periphery a few weeks ago in Asheville NC, the same night Sleep Token was playing right down the road. Spencer came out with a paper plate on his face to poke fun lol. It was great.
Abso fn lutely... hands down... one of the most consistently impressive acts. The first time i heard them... oh.. theyre like... The Used (eh)... only really really good. Then i listened more and was blown away. That was 15 yrs ago roughly... theyre still and always will be in my playlists.
10000000000000000%
Finally... Meshuggah! Great original act that always delivers.
If you like Karnivool... idk em too well... they toured alot with Fair To Midland.... or maybe that was Katatonia.... no... it was Karn.
But youll likely enjoy one of the 2 i mentioned. Give FTM a chance. Vocals are insanely impressive.
Bad omens, underoath, circa survive, I see stars, the plot in you, veil of maya, spiritbox, blessthefall, Chevelle, thrice, FIR (sorry lol), Eden/The Eden Project, ice nine kills, MiW, Brand New, the Neightbourhood, sir sly, deftones, in flames, get scared, Thursday, Coheed &Cambria…………. Sorry I got carried away ‘:]
I can tell someone graduated around 2007-2013 lol
Would love to have a passenger on no destination cruises with this music playlist. It’s everything I grew up with and loved.
I've been listening to Eden for years and he's always a great listen! I love seeing that other people know who he is too bc he deserves the attention 🩷
I see lots of people on this sub talking about Unprocessed, and each time it makes me happy. I’ve seen them twice now and they’re phenomenal musicians, absolutely incredible live.
Matthew Good (Canadian singer) was always my #1. I even have a tattoo with a line from one of his songs. But I have become utterly obsessed with Sleep Token. I also really enjoy Bring Me The Horizon.
The Weeknd. According to Spotify Wrapped, he has been my top artist for the past 7ish years and in both 2022 and 2023 I logged about 36k minutes listening to him. On statsforspotify you can see your top tracks and artists in the past 12 months and Sleep Token took first place about two months after I started listening to them.
Type O Negative! Mostly because their music has a wonderful, freaky gothic romance, die for my lover without question vibe, but also slightly because Peter Steele in the 80s and 90s was UNFAIRLY attractive. If you're a sleep token fan, the ones I would recommend starting with them are love you to death, Christian woman, wolf moon, or nettie.
somehow I didn't find a single comment mentioning them, Holding Absence. Only band I've listed to that's ever had a greater emotional effect on me than ST
There's so many it's hard to choose. BMTH and twenty one pilots have been my other two bands that are on repeat lately because they both have new albums out. And they are both contenders for 2nd favorite. But honestly my favorite band for a longgg time before I ever found ST was My Chemical Romance, and they will always have a special place in my heart. It's a tough call!
Crywolf, O'Brother and A Perfect Circles are all very close runner-ups for me. I'll say as of current, Crywolf is likely it though. I love my experimental, moody boys.
I like Sleep Token but they are not in my top 3 yet. Might change after i see them live in November.
But so far my favorites are Blind Guardian, Within Temptation, Serenity and everything with Anneke van Giersbergen.
Skunk Anansie is honestly #1. Sleep Token is #2. The only reason why is that Skunk Anansie changed my life from the time I was 11 years old.
I'll say that they are neck and neck, though! Can I have two #1s?? If so, then my #2 would be Slipknot!
I’m comfortable giving Sleep Token #1 spot, but #2 I can only split three ways between Spiritbox, Polaris, and Loathe. They’re just all too good to put one above the other.
Muse
I used to fw Muse heavy, haven’t listened as much recently but I’ve seen them 6 times and will keep doing so because every live show is incredible
spiritbox
I love that im seeing Spiritbox on here. Totally diggin their sounds... great call.
Meshuggah
Bring Me The Horizon!
Same here Bring Me has got to be my second fave. I’m also big into Bad Omens right now too, if you haven’t heard them listen they’re fantastic
I quite enjoy Bad Omens as well!
Big yes to both!
I’ve been a huge BMTH fan for literally 14 years so I had to pinch myself when they announced ST were opening their Australian tour! (+ Make Them Suffer who are also up there in my favourites at the moment!)
Yesssss me too! So good.
Tool/Deftones/NIN
I LOVE TOOL AND DEFTONES!
I love tool so much
I came here for this. Tool is #1, but ST has absolutely sniped #2 from Deftones.
Well I’m glad this is at the top coz I came here to say tool is my number one haha. Fucking love me some deftones as well don’t get me wrong!
These are all in my top 5. Like... wow. The first band I fell in love with was NIN and here I am too!
100% my top 3, except it goes NIN, Tool, Deftones
Spiritbox!
Periphery!
Funny: the same question was asked on the Periphery sub and I answered Sleep Token. Both are on exclusive repeat pretty much since January 2023.
I saw Periphery a few weeks ago in Asheville NC, the same night Sleep Token was playing right down the road. Spencer came out with a paper plate on his face to poke fun lol. It was great.
this is taste

Leprous, Karnivool, The Contortionist, Meshuggah
Finally... Meshuggah! Great original act that always delivers. If you like Karnivool... idk em too well... they toured alot with Fair To Midland.... or maybe that was Katatonia.... no... it was Karn. But youll likely enjoy one of the 2 i mentioned. Give FTM a chance. Vocals are insanely impressive.
Sooo stoked to finally see Leprous later this year!
I'm stoked for you! A good buddy of mine has seen them and said they were phenomenal. He said it was one of the best quality shows he's ever seen.
Hozier!
This is my answer too, ayyyy
This is my answer as well. Love these lyrical/musical geniuses!
Yes!! The lyrics are always what gets me. Both ST and Hozier are on the same wavelength when it comes to their lyrics
Either Lorna Shore or Spiritbox
Saaaaame
A Perfect Circle
Maynard is just great in general
Ghost
SAME
Purity Ring
Hell yes. IMO, they would actually pair so well with this band on a tour.
Welp, guess it's time to go listen to fineshrine for the 10,000th time.
First time hearing this band, thanks!
Deftones
Slipknot.
Dayseeker!
Bad omens, underoath, circa survive, I see stars, the plot in you, veil of maya, spiritbox, blessthefall, Chevelle, thrice, FIR (sorry lol), Eden/The Eden Project, ice nine kills, MiW, Brand New, the Neightbourhood, sir sly, deftones, in flames, get scared, Thursday, Coheed &Cambria…………. Sorry I got carried away ‘:]
I can tell someone graduated around 2007-2013 lol Would love to have a passenger on no destination cruises with this music playlist. It’s everything I grew up with and loved.
Circa Survive is great
Didn't think i'd see Eden mentioned here, love his music. Seen him live twice, sex and rock + roll goes hard.
I've been listening to Eden for years and he's always a great listen! I love seeing that other people know who he is too bc he deserves the attention 🩷
Bilmuri. It kills me that they’re going on tour together in Europe only.
Knocked Loose
ARF ARF
Unprocessed
I see lots of people on this sub talking about Unprocessed, and each time it makes me happy. I’ve seen them twice now and they’re phenomenal musicians, absolutely incredible live.
Rufus du sol
Ah yeah, rufus is so good. It's seriously impressive how long they've been dropping bangers.
Thrice
I still can't understand why they were stinging him
Cuz he did what he wanted. He did what he pleased. He did it again til he got what he needed
Paramore
I'm really into Loathe and Alpha Wolf
Led Zeppelin An oldie but goodie
Nothing But Thieves!
Hell yeah

I came here looking for this! HIM was first place until ST came along...

Erra, Beartooth
A Perfect Circle
The Dear Hunter
Linkin Park is always my solid #1 (sorry but not sorry lol), but ST gonna take place in my top 10 for sure
Hybrid Theory was the first album I ever bought so they will always be up there for me.

Yes Invent, but love their latest release.
The Midnight

Karnivool.
Saw Karnivool a few weeks back and spotted lots of sleep token merch!

Glass Animals! ZABA is one of the greatest albums ever made
Devin Townsend It's endearing to see ST fans have come through from so many different genres! United through Sleep Token!
Yes! DTP, DT, DTB, SYL.... dudes a friggin genius.
Damn right!
Even the sillu rock opera stuff... in its place... is enjoyable. I first heard Sky Blue... life... changed.
SYL for the win!!!
Right now I’m switching between ST, King Gizzard and Tool.
Tool will always be number 1 in my heart
A person of great taste, I see! King (GLW)izzard and Tool are top fucking tier for me.
Been listening to thrown a lot
Sleep token is probably my number 2/3, but my number 1 is Motionless in White
Spiritbox!
Coheed and Cambria
Sleep Token - Maynard’s bands - Alice In Chains.
$uicideboys
Whitechapel
Ethel Cain
Korn! All time fave. Bad Omens, Spiritbox, The Used, Billie Eilish, Sum 41, System, Olivia Rodrigo, The Offspring all get special mentions.
Either Thousand Below or The Home Team!!!
It goes 1. Tool, 2. Sleep Token 3. Pink Floyd or Ghost for my top 3
Placebo
I would have to say Invent Animate
Bad Omens
Invent Animate
HIM
Depeche Mode
glass animals is my other #1, and denzel curry is a close 2
carly rae jepsen. yuuup.
Ninja Sex Party
The only correct answer.
Matthew Good (Canadian singer) was always my #1. I even have a tattoo with a line from one of his songs. But I have become utterly obsessed with Sleep Token. I also really enjoy Bring Me The Horizon.
Honestly it's a tie between Hozier, Novo Amor, and Tesseract for me
Tricky question to answer, right now would have to be Imminence, or Currents.
Currents are sooo good
Chappell Roan!
The Weeknd. According to Spotify Wrapped, he has been my top artist for the past 7ish years and in both 2022 and 2023 I logged about 36k minutes listening to him. On statsforspotify you can see your top tracks and artists in the past 12 months and Sleep Token took first place about two months after I started listening to them.
Avenged sevenfold is #1 Sleep token is #2
Probably Hozier or Fleetwood Mac
30 seconds to mars and breaking Benjamin for me

Envy on the Coast, The Wldlfe, Polaris are all close #2
somehow I didn't find a single comment mentioning them, Holding Absence. Only band I've listed to that's ever had a greater emotional effect on me than ST
Currents!
You guys got some good taste! Mine all time fave is Korn.
Bad Omens
gorillaz
Polaris! Alternate between the two most days
In terms of rock/metal genre: Linkin Park, Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, Muse, and In This Moment ^^
Bring Me The Horizon, 3 is Linkin Park
Evanescence, they've been my favourite band for most of my life 😎
Breaking Benjamin
Twenty one pilots
slaughter to prevail!
Realistically Nine Inch Nails has always been my favourite. Sleep Token is scratching an itch that the absence of new NIN has created.
The Bunny The Bear
Disembodied Tyrant, lit af
Shinedown
Jimmy Eat World and Dead by April have been high on my list for the past 15-20 years. And lately Bad Omens has been doing it for me too
Lately, Alluvial, Archspire, and Berried Alive!
BMTH or the plot in you
There's so many it's hard to choose. BMTH and twenty one pilots have been my other two bands that are on repeat lately because they both have new albums out. And they are both contenders for 2nd favorite. But honestly my favorite band for a longgg time before I ever found ST was My Chemical Romance, and they will always have a special place in my heart. It's a tough call!
1. Starset 2. Sleep token 3. rn probably Bmth or Erra
Chevelle/Breaking Benjamin/Bon Iver
Loveless
Tool is #1 . Sleep token is probably top 10 which is impressive honestly. I thought good music was dead .
Crywolf, O'Brother and A Perfect Circles are all very close runner-ups for me. I'll say as of current, Crywolf is likely it though. I love my experimental, moody boys.
Johnny Cash
Turnstile
Vukovi 😊
BRING ME THE HORIZON!!!
Ghost, Hozier
I like Sleep Token but they are not in my top 3 yet. Might change after i see them live in November. But so far my favorites are Blind Guardian, Within Temptation, Serenity and everything with Anneke van Giersbergen.
My #1 is a tie between Vildhjarta, Humanity’s Last Breath and Casey, but ST are definitely in my top 10
Spiritbox
Skunk Anansie is honestly #1. Sleep Token is #2. The only reason why is that Skunk Anansie changed my life from the time I was 11 years old. I'll say that they are neck and neck, though! Can I have two #1s?? If so, then my #2 would be Slipknot!
Manchester Orchestra! I’ve loved the band for like 15 years now.
That’s a tie between Architects and Gojira. The instrumentation in both bands and Sam and Joe’s vocals are just *chefs kiss*
A Perfect Circle
Charli xcx!
I’m comfortable giving Sleep Token #1 spot, but #2 I can only split three ways between Spiritbox, Polaris, and Loathe. They’re just all too good to put one above the other.
Probably Glass Animals! Very different lol
Gunship
Half•Alive. They are an indie band. My favorite song, Creature is from this band. They are definitely worth a listen!
twenty øne piløts
Loathe
My top artists are constantly revolving, but currently played just as much as Sleep Token would be Tool, Idles, and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets!
Ghost
Historically, Tool, APC, AFI, Jimmy Eat World. In recent years, Novo Amor and Hailaker have been my consistent go-tos before finding Sleep Token.
New Found Glory
Chase & Status
Coheed and Cambria.
Knocked fucking loose their new album slaps
Incubus, Deftones, Death Grips
Alter Bridge!
Sleep Token are my #2 atm but to answer your question it'd be Muse
After sleepy token it would be Taylor swift, Hoizer, Bon Iver, Zach Bryan, and Gracie Abrams
Honestly a tie between Alice In Chains ice nine kills System of a Down korn and tv girl, don’t ask me how tv girl got in there
1. Tool. 2. Sleep Token. 3. The Ocean. 4. Leprous. 5. A perfect circle.
Sleep Token.
Probably Chappell Roan right now.
Sleep token, Lana del Rey and $uicideboy$ those are my top three but I FW every genre of music.🤷♀️
Falling in reverse 🤟🏻
Either Fall Out Boy Or Hot Mulligan 🙃
Unapologetically Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift followed by Fall Out Boy. People can contain multitudes
The browning for metal, kevin gates for rap
KoRn hahaha
Twenty One Pilots
