On January 7th 1971, Black Sabbath released Paranoid in the United States, an album that didn’t just follow their debut, but set the blueprint for heavy metal. Originally released in the UK in 1970, Paranoid crossed the Atlantic and quickly established Sabbath as one of the heaviest, most uncompromising bands in rock history.

Since their 2016 debut as masked enigma-creators from London, Sleep Token have steadfastly forged their own path, one that defies genre, expectation, and convention.
