Review
In "Sundowning", Sleep Token weaves a sonic tapestry that's as immersive as a mystical forest, transporting listeners to a realm of dark magic and deep introspection. The hauntingly beautiful "The Offering" and the pulse-pounding "Drag Me Under" are standout tracks that masterfully spin a narrative the way a mythological saga unfolds on the page. With a diverse range of sounds, the album's continuous dark mood and slow-burning rhythms weave together into a captivating narrative that's as dense as the shadows that fall on a moonlit night. At 54 minutes, it's not too lengthy, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the mystical realm the band has crafted.
This album, released in 2019, marked a significant milestone for Sleep Token, further solidifying their position as a force to reckon with in the progressive metal scene. Critics and fans alike praise "Sundowning" for its innovative approach, redefining the edges of heavy music with its spellbinding experimentation. The result is an experience that explores the uncharted, a journey that's as gratifying as stumbling upon a hidden treasure in a dream you never want to wake up from. "Sundowning" is a testament to the band's skill in conjuring up worlds that defy categorization, providing a thrilling listening experience for anyone who dares to enter its haunting yet beautiful realm. - Opal
