Slipknot/Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor has shared some high praise for breakout UK alternative metal band Sleep Token. A newly published interview on The Allison Hagendorf Show found Taylor comparing the fellow masked outfit to his own multi-platinum collective.
Here’s what Taylor had to say:
“When I first heard Sleep Token I was like, ‘What the hell is this, man?’ They, to me are one of the few new — I’ll call them metal, but there’re so many different levels and layers. There’s pop elements, there’s jazz elements… I love the fact that nobody really knows who they are. I love the fact that they don’t want to be known.”
“There are hints of early, early Slipknot there. At first we were like, ‘Nope. You get nothing. This is what you get, you figure it out. We’ll let the music speak for ourselves.’ When Alicia was like, ‘You have to check this out,’ I can remember sitting down and just going, ‘Jesus, this is really good.'”
“It’s stuff like [Sleep Token] that gives me hope for the future.”
Sleep Token‘s apparent breakthrough album “Take Me Back To Eden” saw a release today, May 19th.
