Judas Priest’s Rob Halford Praises Sleep Token

During an interview with 93X, Judas Priest’s Rob Halford shared some kind words for Sleep Token. The frontman says he “really likes all the extra textures of the way that they look and the way that they’re talking.”

Halford said the following:

“There’s a lot of importance being put in the direction of this band called Sleep Token. And they’re a really curious band in what they’re putting out in terms of all of these different textures. They’re very difficult to pin down.

That’s what I find intriguing as a musician listening to their music. It’s going to a lot of different places, and I think that there isn’t any other band out there right now that’s able to do that. Because most bands have a specific sound and direction and idea that they project. And then you kind of fine-tune into that. But you can’t really nail them down, if that’s the expression.

And, of course, the guys have been around for a few years; they’re not, like, suddenly here they are. They’ve worked hard to get to this place of recognition. But I really like all the extra textures of the way that they look and the way that they’re talking.

They have a [singer] called Vessel. One day The Metal God and Vessel will take a selfie together; I predict that. So, there’s something cool.”
