Who said that metalcore wasn't metal? Its in the fucking name of the genre bro. How much meth have you inhaled today????

Honestly if he were talking about 70s Judas Priest I could kinda agree to an extent because they definitely felt more like hard rock back then.

Still has riffs though. Sleep Token has written exactly zero good riffs in their entire pitiful existence.

Sure Tundra, but when the majority of their songs doesn't have them for the majority of the runtime, then they become the exception instead of the foundation. And I can't call that metal.

I mean, the first Sabbath record is not heavy at all compared to today's standards (barring track 1 that is still bizarre to this day).

Tundra stands with arms crossed tight,
boots planted in frozen ground,
a man whose opinions arrive fully formed,
like glaciers—
ancient, immovable, certain they were here first.
He speaks in absolutes,
sentences forged, not suggested.
Metal was.
Metal meant something.
Metal, he says, is dying—
not with a scream,
but with playlists and press cycles
and kids who don’t remember the weight
of distortion as doctrine.
Yet in the quiet between his declarations
there is Sleep Token.
A soft contradiction he never quite names.
Masked devotion.
Sacred whispers wrapped in downtuned grief.
Songs that ache, that bleed, that kneel—
music that bends metal into prayer.
He loves them fiercely,
even as they undermine his thesis
note by note.
He says the genre has lost its soul
while humming melodies that prove
the soul merely changed clothes.
Tundra insists the fire is gone,
even as he warms his hands
over a different flame.
And maybe that’s the truth he circles but won’t land on:
that metal isn’t dying—
it’s molting,
shedding skins that no longer fit,
leaving behind those who mistake comfort
for permanence.
So Tundra remains,
stalwart, stubborn, sincere,
guarding yesterday with admirable intensity,
loving today by accident,
and declaring the end
while quietly pressing play
on proof that it never really was.

Oh Tundra McThrum was a man quite emphatic—
His takes were volcanic, dramatic, gymnastic!
He’d stomp and he thump and he bellow and shout,
“Metal is DYING! There’s no doubt about!”
He’d point at the charts and he’d glare at the kids,
“At playlists! At TikToks! At trendy new riffs!”
He’d waggle one finger, then waggle one more,
“The scene’s gone to mush! It’s not heavy—it's BORING!”
But here is the twist (oh, the twisty twist twist):
He had one sweet secret he couldn’t resist—
A band he adored with a worshipful tone…
Yes—Sleep Token. Sleep Token. His precious Sleep Token.
He loved them in daylight, he loved them at night,
He loved them in silence, he loved them mid-fight.
He loved them in headphones, he loved them out loud,
He loved them so much it was practically proud.
He’d say, “Metal’s finished! It’s ashes! It’s through!”
Then press play on Vessel like it was a hymn too.
He’d grumble, “No one makes good music anymore!”
Then replay that same bridge—again—twice—then four.
He’d frown at new records, declare them a sin,
While Sleep Token was winning the war from within.
A man full of thunder, of doom and of dread…
Still singing the proof that the genre’s not dead.
So if Tundra proclaims with a dramatic cry,
“Metal is dying!” you might just reply:
“If metal is dying, then why—tell me why—
Do you love Sleep Token enough to hit play and then sigh?”

Thick poem (1) though, sounds pretty great. Sleep Token should use this to build a song around

@kusangii there is a memorable metal moment in most Sleep Token songs. Chokehold has a prominent riff. Most songs have some sort of riff or breakdown, and when Sleep Token goes heavy it's more heavy than even Metallica in their heyday.

Sleep Token has zero prominent riffs agreed. It is music for 13 year old girls that Vessel probably touches.

Sleep Token are pretty brutal bro, but come on give Metallica their props, they were ALMOST on ST's level in the mid to late 80s
|
| |
Lol. Sure they can be heavy. But like I said, that's the exception. Most of their songs doesn't have metal guitars 50% of the time. And it's mostly chuggs or breakdowns, not main riffs. I literally can't recall a single song from them when they had an actual main riff.
