Top 10 Sleep Token songs

Sleep Token are a British rock band from London, formed in 2016. The group is an anonymous, masked collective led by a frontman using the moniker Vessel. They have been categorized under many different genres, including alternative metal, post-rock/metal, progressive metal and indie rock/pop. Progressive Metal is most likely the most apt genre to define this anonymous viral band. Thanks to the power of social media, Sleep Token have assessed a big cult following through going viral. I have never seen a band blow up faster than Sleep Token, there's been bands like these guys who have grown a following gradually such as Ghost or Slipknot. Sleep Token has taken it to another level and most of it is probably thanks to TIKTOK which has had their songs and mostly the summoning used in "thirst traps" and being dubbed as "baby making metal" to a lot of TikTok users. The band have massive headline sold out arena tours worldwide and are teasing a new era, so it's the peak time to be on the bandwagon of Sleep Token.

10: Alkaline

The object of desire in this song is being described as being composed of neither elements (acid or alkaline), but something in between, perhaps. She's mysterious, otherworldly & he can't define her, but he'll accept her fully either way as she has fully encompassed him & he is completely taken over by her, imprisoned in a way, but wilfully so, as he couldn't be happier to be in her chains.

9: Take Aim

"Take Aim" by Sleep Token appears to be a song about an intense and toxic love relationship that involves manipulation, power dynamics, and self-destruction. The singer seems to be in love with someone who provokes conflicting emotions in them, making them both feel alive and tearing them apart. "Take Aim" portrays a love relationship that is both exhilarating and destructive, where the line between pleasure and pain is blurred. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the toxicity of the relationship, but is unable or unwilling to break free from it.

8: Give

The song "Give" by Sleep Token appears to be about a desire for an intimate connection with someone else. The lyrics suggest that the narrator is willing to give all of themselves to this other person, even their darkest impulses. The song opens with the idea of finding a sense of belonging with someone else, which is represented by the idea of "carving out a home" in the dark. It seems that the narrator is drawn to the person they are singing to when they are alone, suggesting a yearning for intimacy and closeness. The chorus repeats the idea of giving all that one can give, and the bridge introduces the idea of "open warfare" and not fighting fair, which could suggest a feeling of vulnerability or intense emotionality that comes with pursuing a deep connection with someone else. The chorus also suggests a mutual desire for this connection, with the narrator wanting to taste the other person and be closer to them. Overall, the song seems to be about a desire for emotional intimacy and a willingness to give oneself fully in pursuit of that connection.

7: Blood Sport

To me, the undertones of this song display a relationship lost with a higher power. Not to say it's Christian by any means, but the lyrics definitely speak of something more than human. With mention of "Somewhere the atoms start fusing..." and "Stuck in a quantum pattern." & "Even if the earth breaks like burnt skin." To me is symbolic to rapture. "And the heavens just won't open up for me." It's not his god. So why would he be allowed in. "Would you invite me in again?" He's asking if it all came to an end, would he be accepted back. To me, it sounds like a man speaking to his higher power & not hearing anything in return - & in the end like giving up.

6: The Offering

The song "The Offering" by Sleep Token is a lyrical ode to a love interest. The singer is offering up "sacrifices" to the person they love and expressing their desire to receive something in return. The speaker uses a garden, silence, and diamonds as metaphors for the pureness and preciousness of the connection they share. They implore the listener to "take a bite" and to "turn the page once again" in order to explore their relationship further. Ultimately, the song suggests the taking of a risk in order to get closer to someone and offers a chance for the speaker and their loved one to discover something beautiful together.

5: Take Me Back To Eden

"Take Me Back To Eden" by Sleep Token seems to be a song about the deep desire to return to a state of innocence and perfection, represented by the biblical concept of Eden. The first verse talks about diving into perfect oceans and being weightless, but also feeling the need to breathe and losing that weightlessness. The chorus mentions "those eyes like fire", perhaps alluding to the temptation of Eve in the Garden of Eden, and the protagonist feeling like a "waking hell" while the gods grow tired. The refrain repeats the desire to return to Eden beyond the path of reason, suggesting an almost irrational longing for a state of purity. Overall, the song seems to be a plea to return to a state of purity and to be seen and accepted for who we are, even if we have lost our way.

4: Granite

The song "Granite" by Sleep Token is a song about strength in adversity. The lyrics talk about someone feeling suffocated by the harshness of their situation, but ultimately deciding to stay strong despite their hardships. The song speaks to the power of standing firm in the face of all that life throws at us, and the importance of believing in ourselves despite the odds. The song showcases the narrator's resolve to remain calm and unshaken, implying that often the best way to survive a difficult situation is by keeping a level head and having faith in ourselves.

3: DYWTYLM

Do You Wish That You Loved Me? It is the ninth track from Sleep Token’s third album release, Take Me Back to Eden. A perspective shift across the album narrative, the song lyrically progresses from a state of obsession and guilt into a track that spans a unique melodic and lyrical shift, a seeming “resolution” of comfort, seeing Vessel observing the time passed between the albums, and begging the worth of self-hatred living vicariously through an idyllic lens, contrasting the acceptance and worth of moving on.

2: Aqua Regia

Aqua Regia by Sleep Token is a powerful song filled with metaphors and vivid imagery. It explores themes of love, change, and the struggle between the past and present. The song seems to be about a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics depict a love that is wild and uncontrollable, likening it to an animal call and a blood trail. Yet, there is also a sense of inevitability and acceptance, as seen in the lines about being a circuit board and hardware. The song uses the term “Aqua Regia,” a mixture of acids that can dissolve gold, as a metaphor. It could symbolize a relationship that is both precious and corrosive, or the transformative power of love. The writer seems to be sending a message about embracing change and letting go of the past. The references to dancing to alarm bells and fighting off change suggest a struggle to accept the new and let go of the old.

1: The Summoning

I feel this is about that divine meeting of souls when two intertwine, and it's like a force field is woven. It's that enigmatic pull that can't be explained only experienced and to attempt to pull them apart would be positively gut-wrenching. "The Summoning" became Sleep Token's first entry on the Billboard rock charts after it went viral on TikTok. The track garnered thousands of views from users who shared their takes and mimicked their favourite parts of the song.

That's my list on the elusive, viral, mysterious band known as Sleep Token.

It originally aired from 1994 to 1998 and is widely regarded as one of the most beloved and iconic adaptations of Spider-Man in animated form. Unlike some animated series of its time, "Spider-Man" embraced long-form storytelling, with overarching plot lines that extended over multiple episodes.

To not have this in at first place would easily be considered....BREAKING THE LAW!!! WE'RE BREAKING THE WORLD! Kiryu and his brotherly bond with Nishki covering this is just unmatched, and I love the energy in the song given from them and just the song overall.

And that is my list, go check out the Yakuza and Like A Dragon games please, they are phenomenal.

Alright let's start off the list with a banger!

9: Come A Little Bit Closer - Jay & The Americans

Get your arrows ready because it's time to whistle!

8: Lake Shore Drive - Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah

One of my fave songs I have discovered thanks to Gunn and the Guardians. 

7: No Sleep Till Brooklyn - Beastie Boys

No sleep til we get revenge on behalf of our beloved Raccoon!

Uh oh. here comes Adam Warlock.

I'm distracting you, ya big turd blossom!

3: Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra

OK so we are at number 3 and here is a personal fave song and from the opening title sequence it's ELO's Mr Blue Sky.

2: Hooked On A Feeling - Blue Swede

Probably one of the biggest most infectious songs to come from GOTG is this hit! 

1: Come And Get Your Love - Redbone

James Gunn said it best, "when I think of the Guardians, Come and get your love plays" it is iconic and synonymous with them.

Top 10 Aerosmith Songs

Here's a list that is overdue haha, my apologies for not bringing it out sooner, but it is time to delve in deep and go crazy but don't cry at this most sweet emotional rock and roll list from the legendary Aerosmith!

10: Dude (Looks Like A Lady)

The song, which originally started out as "Cruisin' for a Lady", talks about a male with an effeminate appearance who is mistaken for a female. There is a story that the song was inspired by the glam look of the members of Mötley Crüe and their constant usage of the word "dude". Steven Tyler says in the book Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith, "Then one day we met Mötley Crüe, and they're all going, 'Dude!' Dude this and Dude that, everything was Dude. 'Dude (Looks Like a Lady)' came out of that session." Joe Perry came up with the chorus riff, and Tyler came up with the chorus refrain. In his recent book, The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe claims that the song was specifically inspired by Vince Neil, singer with Mötley Crüe.

9: Same Old Song And Dance

It's a story about people who make fucked up choices...if you don't change your ways, life's never going to change for you. It's the same old story, the same old song and dance

8: Sweet Emotion

Groupie drama much? It's a chill laid back song, and you have probably heard it many times and not known it was by Aerosmith haha. 

7: Living On The Edge

it's about how bad the world has gotten, but it's the human race's fault, "There's something wrong with the world today, and God know's it ain't his." Along with addressing religion, racism, and how people would rather put the blame on someone else other than themselves, this song says that even though there's something wrong with the world, we'd rather keep hangin' on.

6: Love In An Elevator

Self-explanatory, let's have sex in an elevator and take our love to another level haha. Quite the catchy iconic song. 

5: Crazy

great song, describing the pain of a guy whose girl messes him about, but he still loves her no matter what. Excellent guitar solo from Mr Perry, and check out 1 of the last lines where Steven goes so high-pitched, it sounds like a high guitar note...in fact, i can't tell if it is or not!

4: Cryin'

I think this song is about one of those relationships that you can't live with or without. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

3: Dream On

Steven Tyler was 17yrs old when he wrote Dream On. He also had wisdom back in the day. He writes about getting old. And not knowing where it comes from and where it goes, but to just sing with the laughter and the fear. And still after 40yrs it is their signature song.

2: Walk This Way (Ft RUN DMC)

Now the original is fine BUT the DMC collab made this song ten times better and it's so iconic! One of the most iconic crossovers in music history I would say. I had a tough time deciding if this should be number 1 or 2 and in the end and a little sing-song with my lighter raised in the air I decided this would have to be number 2 because the number one is sure to bring Armageddon.

1: I Don't Want To Miss A Thing

Yes here it is! Put those lighters in the air and sway your arms side to side as you belt this song out from the top of your lungs! It is filled with raw love. Passion and feeling that can never be bought. Feelings that once you feel, you're a changed person. An unbelievable closeness between 2 people out of almost 7,000,000,000 people on the planet. That is what life is all about. When you get it, hold on forever

Ok so how was this list for you? Was it good? What would be your top 10? Let me know and as always share this list with fellow fans or any fans of music. I appreciate your time!

Top 10 King810 Songs

Get the body bags ready, ready your weapons and come take a trip to murder city with metal legends King810! I got into King810 in 2015 when they supported Slipknot on their UK tour. King 810 are an American heavy metal band from Flint, Michigan, formed in 2007. The band currently consists of David Gunn and Eugene Gill. The band's first release was their independent EP titled Midwest Monsters in 2012, which earned them a signing with Roadrunner Records; they released their second EP titled Proem in 2014, and their debut studio album Memoirs of a Murderer that same year. In June 2012, Gunn was assaulted when he refused to hand over a bag during a robbery. He was shot and stabbed, but survived the attack and went on to write for the band's debut and independent EP, Midwest Monsters, which was heavily inspired by that particular event and previous experiences. I have seen King810 live twice and I recommend the experience. 

10: Murder Murder Murder

Kicking off my list hard with Murderx3. The riff here is addictive and so are Davids harsh raspy vocals. 

9: Ak Concerto No. 47 Bang Guns

I will be perfectly honest the aggressive yet catchy "OOH OOH AH OOH OOH AH"' parts make this take a spot on my list because it is so fun and catchy, and it's a god-damn fire chorus.

8: Bang Guns

A different sound compared to many of the songs on my list with this one having more rap, trap, dubstep feel to it. The chorus is great and gets stuck in your head easily. 

7: I Am The Enemy

I love the flow and how catchy this song is. The way the chorus is run and put together is really something else, it stands out and lingers long in the mind. 

6: Say Cheese & Die

This is quickly becoming an all-time fave for me, it's a recently released track from King's newest album and it is so damn catchy, I love how it flows and the instrumentals in this. King at its best! 

5: I Ain't Going Back Again

A softer yet sombre song. Song all about not going back again to that dark mindset, drugs, jail, gangs you know it's about quitting those bad and dark habits. Great storytelling and a memorable chorus.

4: War Outside

I love the aggression and the catchy chorus, It makes me want to cause some environmental destruction and make it look like a warzone. THERE'S A WAR OUTSIDE! Unrelated but King's Memoirs album is an absolute masterpiece and I love it so much. 

3: Desperate Lovers

Now when I first heard this it was live in concert, and I was like "oooh this is good" I loved the heaviness and the groove and riff it was all so just addicting and metal. Catchy and aggressive. 

2: Fat Around The Heart

Lyrics like a lot of King 810 songs are self-explanatory as David walks us through his feelings and experiences. Fat around the heart meaning there's people that have not seen or done the things David has experienced. This is one of King's most popular songs. 

1: Killem All

The first time I have seen King and heard this live I was blown away, and I felt so connected to the aggression and rage and the story being told. This one really brought to life the inner primal aggression buried deep within. My absolute favourite song. 

Okie dokie so this brutality was my list and I hope you liked it and if you had no idea who King810 are, well you are welcome for the education I brought to you. Thanks for reading, feel free to share it to metal fans or fellow King810 fans alike.

#10 - Metallica

We have seen Cena enter the island BUT it would be cool to get a massive crossover with the likes of The New Day and some fun emotes and wraps along with the 3 of them. Also, The Undertaker would be epic for this collab too!

Now how cool would it be to be rocking up to a squad with a revolver with good ol Big Red behind it with his massive hand. I'd add in Abe, Kraus, Lobster Johnson and Hitlers Assassin also to the collab.

#7 - Horror Icons

Play as Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger, Jason Vorhees & Chucky would be great fun.

ED & AL plus Armstrong and Mustang just OMG!!! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!! Hell add in Lust, Sloth and Greed too for good fun!

Top 10 Fozzy Songs

Fozzy the metal band headed by Chris Jericho started off as an Ozzy Osborne covers band BUT quickly went into making their own music, and it rocked, THEY ROCK! 

As of September 2022, the band has released eight studio albums and one live album. Their first two albums consist of primarily cover songs with some original material, while their albums since have made original material the primary focus.

10: Do You Wanna Start A War?

Starting off strong with this catchy belter. Fall in line and obey if you want to start a war, you better do it right now!

9: Sandpaper

Jericho teams with M.Shadows on this belter. Jericho once said: "It's not about a piece of paper that you rub on your face that chafes you, it's just about an abrasive type of feeling that you might have toward somebody. So it's just stuff like that. But we still sing it with a smile on our faces."

8: Sane

The video for this was filmed on the world's longest wooden Rollercoaster. "Sane," with its ebb and flow of hushed anxiety and expressive, relief-struck chorus, is an ode to those who live their lives a bit crazier than the average person. "In times like these, I don't wanna be sane," sing Jericho over the refrain.

7: I Still Burn

Jericho said: I Still Burn is the story of the dreams, the passion and the fire that lies within all of us to be the absolute best we can be…and to do WHATEVER it takes to achieve the goals that make our dreams come true! The sacrifices, the losses, and the triumphs that we have all experienced make up the lyrical DNA of this song. I Still Burn is Fozzy’s mission statement, our life’s work and our destiny…and we are so proud to share this message of victory with our Fozzy family!! Plus, Rich’s guitar solo fuckin rules!!!”

6: Nowhere To Run

This track is a strong statement right out of the gate, filled with aggressive gritty guitars to open the song before giving way to more dreamily melodic verses and a defiant, anthemic chorus.

5: Painless

Jericho said: It’s based around a bad relationship and somebody’s just numbing you to the pain, almost like if you get bit by a black widow, and it numbs you as it kills you,” the vocalist raves. “I just love that, like every breath I take is one closer to death when I’m with you.”

4: Martyr No More

Chris Jericho says that he wrote the lyrics about someone who can do anything except for put up with their significant other any longer, something everyone can relate too.

3: Enemy

“Enemy” is about anybody that has those problems that they want to hurt themselves or someone else. A Fozzy Classic! I first heard this during a TNA PPV back in like 2007 I think. 

2: Burn Me Out

An absolute banger in my opinion. 

1: Judas

Here's the world famous AEW Fozzy SPecial! Sing it loud and proud for Le Champion!

And that is my list!

MY ANIME LIST

I just wanted to share a link to my: My Anime List Profile just in case anyone was interested in what anime shows and movies I have seen. The following link has that information here: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/1STMETALGOD?status=2

I have updated it as much as I possibly can from what I remember watching but will be updating it in future of course with new anime's and new series and movies that arrive.

Top 10 Halloween Films (Michael Myers series)

Alright I have been patient and held off making a top 10 Halloween franchise list until I have seen Halloween Ends. Well that time is up and my review of Halloween Ends is out. Also, my whole take on the entire Halloween series is also out on my blog. Be sure to check those out for more in depth looks and thoughts on those films and the series as a whole from my point of view. 

I am a massive fan of this series and I love the Michael Myers character. In terms of how I will be ranking these, well I will be sorting them in order of one's I love best and which I felt had the best story, soundtrack etc. So no more delay, let's get to the killing.....I MEAN.....ranking....

10: H5

OK look this one sucks BUT I got to have a top 10 list as I could not just simply leave this list on a Top 8 Halloween films. To me H5, H6, Resurrection, Rob Zombie H2 and Ends are bad films of the series. There are bad films in the series, but I still have something I like about each one and for me in Halloween 5, what I like most is Loomis and Michael's interactions. I also like the scene where Jamie goes down the clothes shoot, and it's a bit tense for how she can escape that one.

9: H6

Again another bad one of the bunch BUT I will applaud them for trying to make sense why Michael can't die, and it's all some ritual and cult stuff even if I find the whole cult explanation in films to be cheap and overdone, it's something that prior to H20 and above that kinda fit. The off-screen kill of Loomis was not good and in the producer's cut they made Loomis the new leader of the cult of Thorn.

8: RZ's Halloween 1

And breathe this is where THE REAL LIST begins! Rob Zombie's first take with Halloween was great, it was different, it offered us a fresh new telling of the story we all knew but added more elements and backgrounds to Michaels character for sure, and it took his character to the realm of gritty almost factual take on what made him the monster he is and how his abusive home life background helped push him to be the killer we know today but not just that but all the bullies he had in his life and of course the kid was demented seeing as he was killing animals but hey, this was a good take. Rob Zombie did good, and the kills were brutal, and they actually made you feel the impact of them.

7: Halloween 4

Alright look, this and Halloween 2 (1981) both have better ends to Michael and a passing of the torch than Halloween Ends. It's a massive shame they killed Laurie off-screen for this film, and we got brought her daughter to carry on the whole family ties story with Michael. Loomis is one of my fave characters in the Halloween franchise, and he delivers a great performance here especially with its twist ending.

6: H20

Happy 20th Birthday to you, Michael Myers comes soon, Laurie you're in trouble, Happy 20th To you! Yes H20 is set 20 years after Halloween, and it's a direct sequel to Halloween 2 and all that came after H2 was retconned. Great to see Jamie Lee Curtis back as Laurie and she and Michael had a good reunion. There's little Easter eggs in this film showing other horror slashers too, and I think it's in part thanks to the scream writer who wrote this. The mask in this was terrible. Apparently they went for a CGI mask because they couldn't make up their minds on one? What?! Michael being decapitated should have ended the series at the time.

5: Halloween 3

So this one is an Anthology film and does not contain anything from the Halloween films before it. Michael is not in it besides a 2 seconds cameo as in this one Halloween 1 is just a scary film advertised on TV. This is underrated. Yes it was majorly different and shocking in its time because they departed from Michael of course BUT leave that aside and think of it as its own thing, and you will have a good time.

4: Halloween Kills

Alright so now we are back to a more recent time of Halloween series with the second part of Blumhouse's trilogy of the series. I love this one, it's brutal, and the soundtrack is awesome, it feels so evil and big just like the Shape himself, and it's a great continuation from Halloween 2018 and of course it is fantastic seeing so many of the OG'S here.

3: Halloween 2 (1981)

OK so this one's ending for the series was better again than H4 and Halloween Ends. This one takes place exactly as Halloween 1978 ends and this one sets up the whole family ties story with Laurie being so special to Michael since Laurie is his sister. This is the best sequel in the original timeline.

2: Halloween 2018

Back to top form here with so many originals returning to reprise their roles, and it all works brilliantly. Mask, soundtrack, story, characters, fear, kills well it's perfect, I've talked about this one and the others on this list in more depth and detail over on my other blog post which had me write up about the entire series, so please check it out.

1: Halloween 1978

Of course this is what started it all and deserves to be crowned the best one. Not only did it start this extraordinary franchise, but it also gave birth to the whole slasher genre and outbreak from the 80s onwards. This started so many tropes to the horror genre and will always be the king of them all to me. I cannot big this film up more. Iconic, classic, masterpiece.

Alright that's my list, this will probably be the last post I make on Michael Myers and the whole Halloween franchise until the day comes where Evil comes back home to our screens again with fresh paint of course.

Thanks for reading, see you again soon.

Stay Spooky!
