While She Sleeps in Self Hell

2023-09-14 by BillClinton | 46 Comments
British Metalcore act While She Sleeps has released a new single, 'SELF HELL,' from their upcoming sixth studio album releasing March 15, 2024. The album is their first release on their new label, Spinefarm.

Guitarist Sean Long adds to the news: "We’ve been drawing inspiration from an array of misfit artists far from where you would usually pigeonhole While She Sleeps," he continues. "Each member has brought in a different perspective of inspiration so far apart in genre that it has left us with a very odd and satisfying sonic. While She Sleeps will continue to keep the world guessing on what we will do next. Not only for the fans but this is a spiritual venture that we have to keep alive, moving, and constantly in flux. We do this by scaring ourselves with things we are not supposed to do. Every. Single. Day."

The band also added that each member brought in various inspirations to help drive the album's direction. Some of the mentioned artists that helped inspire this record are "Kendrick Lamar, Aphex Twin, Prodigy, Fat Boy Slim, Limp Bizkit, Radiohead, Gorillaz, Bicep, Rammstein, AFI, Janes Addiction, Placebo, Deafheaven, Alice In Chains".

These guys had a really good run with their first 3 albums but then decided to just take a huge nosedive in quality for whatever reason. Unfortunately this song seems to be continuing with that trend.

It’s mental how bad they’ve become despite the fact that their line up is consistent and they have a lot of backing to do what they do best, but ended up okaying this piece of trash

Those influences... you can't just smash up a bunch of wildly different genres and artists like that, the album's gonna be all over the place

A7X did this with their latest one and everyone swallowed their balls for it.

Someone needs to tell Sleep Token and A7X this as well.

I'll rephrase then because that was worded a bit badly lol

You need to be a specific sorta band to pull a mashup like that. A7X might be one of those bands (I say might only because I haven't listened to the new album yet)

why does every band say this and then list the most generic cookie-cutter obvious picks for whatever 'genre' they're influenced by. Oh you're influenced by Radiohead, buddy? You and every other guitar band for the last 20 fucking years. Just once can we get a 'weird influences' album from one of these generic ass rock/derriere metal bands thats like "we were super influenced by BOaT, Xanopticon, Whitney Houston and Taake". It doesn't even have to be good but like find inspiration from something other than the same 20 fucking bands everybody already fucking knows.

Bet this song is shit too.

Im starting to think these guys where the victims of a gas leak around the You are We times, while a middling record in of itself the bands never been quite the same since

What. The. Flying. Fuck. I genuinely cannot believe this is the same group of guys who made This Is The Six. Absolutely unreal. Probably the biggest nosedive in quality I can think of in recent memory. What is this cringy goofy Christian rock bullshit? Did not expect to wake up and see WSS has turned into TobyMac

God at least Limp Bizkit were their own fucking thing lmao
This is an even more flaccid rehash of old Bizkit with bad attempts at saying "we still do tha heavy" with an even bigger implementation of massive pseudo-intellectual ego stroking.
This is actually the most impressive downfall I think i've seen a band go through

This sounds like a band who is bored but can't manage to agree on the direction they should be going. Always a fan of bands evolving and changing but this was not a good song.

What exactly are they doing to her while she's sleeping?

Ectier

Taking notes on what put her to sleep for the new album, how deep of a sleep she is in. So the band can fully nail the bland and corny bullshit. Probably logging into her phone and going back tk her teeny bopper years to find early 2000s bands to rip off as well and add to their notes. While Loz jumps up and down on the couch to stave off the existential dread that he may no longer be needed for his harsh vocals and needs to learn the ukalale to remain in the band
