Talk about a dramatic week. Around this time last year Sleep Token were kicking off their campaign for Take Me Back To Eden, kickstarting their ascension to metal's hottest new band on a global scale and picking up millions of new listeners. A year on, the band wiped all their social accounts amdist rumours of a privacy breach, leading to speculation they were about to close up shop entirely... only to announce a tour. Fair enough. Anyway, if you want more on toxic fan culture you can read our thoughts here as we're digressing - let's get back onto the best new metal songs this week, starting with the results of last week's vote!
We had a bumper offering last week as the metal world fully kicked back into gear, but by and large it was the newcomers that took the day. Metalcore mob Fit For A King took a very admirable third place, but were left in the dust of prog metal newcomers Whom Gods Destroy, who in turn were edged out by alt metallers Night Thieves, Through The Looking Glass taking top spot with pounding riffs and airy, alty vocals.
