10 Greatest Masked Bands In Rock History
9. Sleep Token
A newer edition to the masked metal scene, Sleep Token announced themselves with their debut album Sundowning in 2019.
This group of British performers have since put out two more studio albums with several singles to back them up. They've achieved significant fame in a short space of time, despite the fact that nobody has a clue who any of them are.
Sleep Token all wear masks on stage, their identities a total mystery. They don't even talk whilst performing, silently segueing from one song to the next.
As with all good masked bands, there is a deep vein of lore that runs through this act.
Their leader, who goes by the name of Vessel, encountered an ancient deity just called Sleep one night in a dream. Since then, he has followed Sleep's every command, to be rewarded with the gift of music.
Or so the story goes.
The fact that nobody knows anything about these guys in real life only adds to their mythos.
They could literally be anybody; your neighbour; your postman; your grandma!
