Metal symbolism - the study of symbols and metal culture. \\m/ The signs and symbols used in rock and metal lyrics, artwork and videos can be linked to fantasy, epics, tales, witchcraft, tarot, vampires, zombies, history, mythology, science, politics, etc.
I have a B.A in Social Communication and a B.A in Linguistics. I'm passionate about languages and the study of signs and symbols (semiotics, mostly influenced by Roland Barthes) and how they interact with social behavior, but in my case I research how these signs are used in rock and mostly, metal. I was born in Brazil, with Lithuanian ancestry and a Canadian heart! Languages I speak: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Lithuanian.

Sleep Token is 34.3% METAL, Here's Why Metal Scholars, today's video is all about numbers, just like Vessel says on Blood Sport, it's time to roll the numbers in. If we compute every single minute of song time and divide by the minutes of "pure metal" (really distorted guitars, low tuning, minor scales, ominous atmosphere, djent parts, etc) - that ratio will give us a better understanding of th...

Sleep Token's "One": The EP That Changed POST-METAL?
Просмотров 4123 месяца назад
Metal scholars, some people say Sleep Token (especially in the early days) flirted with post-rock and post-metal. Their 2016 independent release, "One," emerges as an innovative EP, it has indie-rock vibes but at the same time those djenty and Meshuggah-like chugs. The EP impresses even more since it was released 100% independently. That was challenging and they somewhat redefined the boundarie...
ASCENSIONISM, It's Time
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.3 месяца назад
Metal scholars, deconstructing “Ascensionism” can be risky business because the lyrics are painfully metaphorically. They also have lots of religious/spiritual references. And the fact that Sleep Token doesn't say anything about their intentions also adds more mystery and aura to the songs. I just can't help it and I've tried to delve deep into the symbolism of the song. In my opinion, the main...

Architects is HEAVY Again - With a MINOR FLAW?
This is how it should have sounded on the album. RIP Cliffie <3
makes me wonder why Metallica muted the bass on And Justice for All album :(
Good video Alex.. Some very valid points!
Lmao i bet some goofy out there right now been up all night doing some research
Thank you so much, Alex! We worshipers are so blessed to be the ones that feel the magic that is ST! Their art grabs our soul, awakens our passion, fuels our creativity. I agree that ST has mastered giving us "just enough", inviting our imaginations to fly. The experience of a lifetime. 🫶
They're just regular ass dudes in masks playing music. There's no "lore".
I'm gonna be *that* guy and say that the bass is a bit too much in this version. Revenge has been achieved, but at what cost... Personally I'd turn it down just a tad
Please do every single song!!! Pllleeaasseeee
Huh! Sounds like, Devil himself, first person, is the one saying ...he Will never let him(her) go!!......🤔🤔 Interesting!
Im here to either stir stuff up or settle the dust on this but "is sleep token evil/satanic" Ok think of it like this does sleep token honor god an Jesus like do they mention Jesus being the only way or sing about being saved or sing on how great he is or how strong his love is for us Do you think if god/jesus had come back a 2nd time and sees this guy performing on stage that god and/or Jesus would be happy about it do you think he represents our father Lastly does he spread the gospel In conclusion if you said NO to all these things then im not saying hes evil but he aint for the lord what you think keep? it polite in comment section
Thank you, Alex! I also appreciate the links you provide. I did not know about Skeptosphere! You sound awesome!
I want a sleep token elden ring dlc
Way enjoyable than listen to some average song of AZKi.
Our Free the universo is big
Luis luisana peste negra
Idk man..they are good musicians who play well together but the music just isnt great....ive tried to like this band but i cant..just boring and droning....idk ppl like what they like i guess but the fannase startin to look like swifties,dont get that either
This is Anesthesia on steroids.
I'm so happy to have found a new favorite band. I never thought I would again. ❤ Thank you for this offering, Sir. ❤
Very interesting channel I fell upon here. Thank you for the offering, sir. ❤
Exquisite
I Like that band on your shirt!
Now it feels like Gojira
Cliff played his bass guitar artistically articulately 😊
At this point, i think the man behind the mask is singing about his mother, my theory is that he took care of his mother in her last years with a lot of mental issues, maybe a brain tumor.... I could take and anylise lyric by lyric in this coment but unfortunatelly i dont have this time 😂😂😂
Will there be a For Whom the Bell Tolls remake?
I also get past, present, future from this as well.... Life, time, death....🖤
Absolutely, GypsyDB!
GOD-TIER
I am one of those folks who only heard about ST after hearing the clip of the end of Summoning on TikTok (I know I know) but honestly I stayed for the incredible talent and god tier song writing of this band. They could have been a one off for me but I am hooked.
I feel the same way!
I just mentally hugged the worms that I know are eventually going to eat me… Damn, I love this song 🎉🫶😎
If he was Eveless he would still be in the Eden, she ate them out of house and home
This was the last incarnation of Metallica. The rest is fake.
Everything my boys do is God Tier!!! 👑👑👑👑 Thank you, Alex!! You're the best!!! 🙏🏻🖤
True! The management team is God Tier, the Vessellettes ( past and present), the audio engineers, the photographer!!! Midas’s touch all over!
@@Fqbbp absolutely 🔥🔥🔥
I'm so glad you liked my content, thank you so much, and I totally agree with you, they always give us God-Tier music :)
I can’t be the only one expecting live performance moments. Almost every band has similar aesthetics down to the stage lighting and symbols for songs. So far my favorite Sleep Token edit has been the one with the peanut butter mouth. That was hilarious.
I disagree with your analysis. I heard this song months before watching the video. The song to me is about PTSD. The reoccurring burning windows is the explosions and violence is a symbol of what someone revisits when coming back from war. Captured and tortured. Momma they try and break me. The keepers of the flames are the ones looking for hero's to send off to war. Do you hear your babies crying? Do hear the concern of your people you send off?
Once Tomb was released, I was possessed. I went back to their first albums and was completely blown away
Possessed is the right term actually.
Lol, that's the spirit! Or rather, that's the possession, haha
Cumcore > Baddiecore
I prefer the term Baddiecore, hehe. I think there's also thirst metal and other terms trying to describe this subgenre, but Baddiecore might stick, we need to wait 2 to 3 years lol
Who doesn't like The Offering and Gods? I feel like those are two of their most popular songs.
I love Gods! Just dont play it straight after Give.
I like them all but some fans don't seem to enjoy Gods that much. I think everyone digs The Offering. But Dawson from the Sleep Talkin podcast has mentioned that he doesn't like Gods and some members on Discord and Facebook have also highlighted that. It might be the harsh vocals, I don't know, I myself love it!
Wait, so is that why I can't find a live performance of Gods? I enjoy that song so very much. I enjoy all of their songs really, but when I am angry, Gods kicks my soul into orbit. Honestly, I don't see how it's any different than Vore.
@@alextamulisit reminds them too much of another song perhaps. I couldnt care less, I absolutely love them both and I know there are lots of people who do too.
When you are complete but don't know it yet.
If all the greatest players lived
cliff i both love and respect you, the head injury happened, and today i find you holdingme together in a place i never thiught i would reach again.....thank you star fellow friend......
One of my favorite bands since 2017
The Wembley arena show was pretty surreal. I've loved these guys for a few years now, since Tomb was released, and seeing an audience of thousands of people sing for Vessel when he couldn't, and then him jumping back in and singing again when he could (when most bands would just throw the towel in) almost brought me to tears. It's one thing for a band to continue performing through obstacles (ie, Dave Grohl breaking his leg and continuing the show while he got patched up, which was completely bad ass btw) but it's another for fans to come together and be like "it's ok, we got you, even if we have to sing the entire rest of the concert!" instead of being disappointed, getting upset, or worse, walking out. They deserve every bit of success they achieve.
So true. I wish that I was aware of ST from the beginning, but I only learned of them 3 months ago. From what I can tell so far, the fandom seems to be one of the most open and kind. It says a lot that no one got upset or walked out. Their wide success really couldn't have happened to a better band and group of people. I'm sad to be so late to the party, but at least I'm here (:
I still haven’t listened the ending of summoning and I still bump into the spoilers of it 😂
Why?
Orion e’ Cliff…..😢😢😢😢
Cool stoner tune
Honestly sounds a little weird. Needs to be balanced better. Lol
*The internet uproars “nooo they aren’t satanic, but we do worship this other deity thing called sleep. I’ll explain with this Bible.” Ironic- yes. Satanic- probably not. Blasphemous- low key Does it matter though lol not really. Don’t get me wrong. Great band.
Ktulu rizing up..
Ads interrupting Orion, fuck 2024
This mix sounds just right.
