我宣布戰爭吉他手埃文·休斯（Evan Hughes

在最近的《殘酷播客》的最新一集中，埃文·休斯（Evan Hughes）分享了他對圍繞睡眠代幣的神秘事物的想法，與時代的Slipknot和他們在90年代後期的神秘地下存在進行了直接比較。

Ex-I Declare War guitarist Evan Hughes has shared his thoughts on Sleep Token, comparing the band's mystique to early-era Slipknot.

前我宣布戰爭吉他手埃文·休斯（Evan Hughes）分享了他對睡眠代幣的想法，將樂隊的神秘感與時代的Slipknot進行了比較。

In a recent episode of the Brutality Podcast, Hughes discussed a bootleg VHS tape he used to watch, which featured Slipknot performing "Heretic Anthem," "Surfacing," and other songs in a parking lot. He noted how the band's raw, chaotic performances and secretive image captured his imagination.

在最近的《殘酷播客》（The Brutality Podcast）的最新一集中，休斯討論了他曾經觀看的盜版VHS錄像帶，其中以Slipknot的表演“異端國歌”，“表面表面”和其他歌曲在停車場中。他注意到樂隊的原始，混亂的表演和秘密形像如何吸引了他的想像力。

"There’s like a Slipknot VHS... a bootleg VHS. It’s got old 'Heretic Anthem,' 'Surfacing,' they’re playing in a parking lot or some sh*t. It’s super raw, super early... And it’s just got this weird vibe to it. Like they’re— I was just like, 'Oh my god. Wow.' Everything was so mysterious about them. And, you know, that’s kind of now what Sleep Token is doing," Hughes shared.

“就像是一個滑結的VHS……一個盜版VHS。它變得舊了，'異端國歌'，'``揮舞著，''他們在停車場或一些sh*t中玩耍。它是超級原始的，超級的，超級早期...而且它只是對它有了這種怪異的氛圍。一切都很神秘，您知道，這是睡眠代幣正在做的事情。

He added that Sleep Token are reviving that sense of mystique in a modern way—something he finds "really cool to see" being done again, albeit through a different artistic lens.

他補充說，睡眠代幣正在以一種現代的方式恢復這種神秘感 - 他發現“真的很酷”再次完成，儘管它是通過不同的藝術鏡頭。

"I think it’s really cool to see that kind of done again in a different way."

“我認為以不同的方式再次看到這種事情真的很酷。”

Although he admits the band's recent album Take Me Back to Eden didn't fully meet his personal expectations, Hughes clearly appreciates the aesthetic and narrative Sleep Token are crafting—much like Slipknot did decades ago.

儘管他承認樂隊最近的專輯帶我回到伊甸園並沒有完全滿足他的個人期望，但休斯顯然很感激美學和敘事的睡眠代幣正在製作，就像幾十年前的Slipknot一樣。

"I just got the new album... I’m not as into it as I thought I was going to be. I think Take Me Back to Eden is probably as much on top for me. But just the way that they’re—"

“我剛剛得到了新專輯……我不像我想的那樣喜歡它。我認為帶我回到伊甸園可能對我來說是最重要的。

This comparison adds another layer to the ongoing conversation about Sleep Token's rapid rise and the band's deliberate mystique—a strategy that, according to Hughes, mirrors Slipknot's early lore-driven approach.

這種比較為正在進行的關於睡眠代幣快速上升和樂隊故意神秘的對話增加了另一層，這種策略根據休斯的​​說法，這種策略反映了Slipknot的早期傳說驅動的方法。

Sleep Token are a UK-based anonymous music collective who emerged in 2016. The group are known for their masked members and a mysterious, ritualistic aesthetic centered around worshipping a deity called "Sleep." Their sound blends elements of metal, R&B, ambient, and pop — a genre-fluid style that has gained them a passionate following.

睡眠代幣是一家位於英國的匿名音樂集體，他於2016年出現。該組織以蒙面成員和一種神秘的禮節美學而聞名，圍繞著敬拜一個稱為“睡眠”的神靈。他們的聲音將金屬，R＆B，環境和流行音樂的元素融合在一起，這種流派風格使他們獲得了熱情的追隨者。

Meanwhile, Slipknot became iconic for their aggressive sound, masked personas, and chaotic live shows. Early on, Slipknot members concealed their identities, creating a mysterious allure that helped build a cult-like following.

同時，Slipknot的侵略性聲音，蒙面角色和混亂的現場表演成為標誌性的。早期，Slip Knyt成員掩蓋了他們的身份，創造了一種神秘的魅力，這有助於建立一個像邪教的追隨者。
