在最近的《残酷播客》的最新一集中，埃文·休斯（Evan Hughes）分享了他对围绕睡眠代币的神秘事物的想法，与时代的Slipknot和他们在90年代后期的神秘地下存在进行了直接比较。

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

前我宣布战争吉他手埃文·休斯（Evan Hughes）分享了他对睡眠代币的想法，将乐队的神秘感与时代的Slipknot进行了比较。

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《残酷播客》（The Brutality Podcast）的最新一集中，休斯讨论了他曾经观看的盗版VHS录像带，其中以Slipknot的表演“异端国歌”，“表面表面”和其他歌曲在停车场中。他注意到乐队的原始，混乱的表演和秘密形象如何吸引了他的想象力。

"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.

“就像是一个滑结的VHS……一个盗版VHS。它变得旧了，'异端国歌'，'``挥舞着，''他们在停车场或一些sh*t中玩耍。它是超级原始的，超级的，超级早期...而且它只是对它有了这种怪异的氛围。一切都很神秘，您知道，这是睡眠代币正在做的事情。

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.

他补充说，睡眠代币正在以一种现代的方式恢复这种神秘感 - 他发现“真的很酷”再次完成，尽管它是通过不同的艺术镜头。

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

“我认为以不同的方式再次看到这种事情真的很酷。”

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.

尽管他承认乐队最近的专辑带我回到伊甸园并没有完全满足他的个人期望，但休斯显然很感激美学和叙事的睡眠代币正在制作，就像几十年前的Slipknot一样。

"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—"

“我刚刚得到了新专辑……我不像我想的那样喜欢它。我认为带我回到伊甸园可能对我来说是最重要的。

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.

这种比较为正在进行的关于睡眠代币快速上升和乐队故意神秘的对话增加了另一层，这种策略根据休斯的​​说法，这种策略反映了Slipknot的早期传说驱动的方法。

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.

睡眠代币是一家位于英国的匿名音乐集体，他于2016年出现。该组织以蒙面成员和一种神秘的礼节美学而闻名，围绕着敬拜一个称为“睡眠”的神灵。他们的声音将金属，R＆B，环境和流行音乐的元素融合在一起，这种流派风格使他们获得了热情的追随者。

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.

同时，Slipknot的侵略性声音，蒙面角色和混乱的现场表演成为标志性的。早期，Slip Knyt成员掩盖了他们的身份，创造了一种神秘的魅力，这有助于建立一个像邪教的追随者。
