https://youtube.com/watch?v=KhwiNPsaPfAMatt pike is gone from Sleep now. These news dropped alongisde a new single and a tour announcement. Al Cisneros is in complete control of the band now I guess. I enjoy the new sound but it just doesn't sound like sleep without Matt Pike. Why not just make it another side project like OM? Who the fuck knows, probably money.

Sounds like a leftover from the last album.

Didn't really do it for me. I guess I will keep looking, altho that album might just be lightning in a bottle type situation.
Maybe Static-X? Although that's super simplistic.
By the way, did you know that Dog Day Sunrise is a Head of David cover? I think Burton Bell is a fan of Justin Broadrick who was in that band. He's best known as the main guy from Godflesh, though.
 
Any suggestions on something like Demanufacture that isn't done by Fear Factory? Really liking what they've done with it.
fwiw they kinda went back to the Demanufacture sound on their album Mechanized. It's not bad.

Possibly a hot take, but imo the next-best thing are Obliveon's last two albums: Cybervoid and Carnivore Mothermouth.


For context, Obliveon was a technical thrash band and going all Fear Factory was regarded as a sell out move and way too simplistic and unoriginal by their established fan base. If it was supposed to make money, it didn't work, and to this day it's more obscure than their (already pretty obscure) early albums, but it's actually very good stuff, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Carnivore Mothermouth is like what Static-X would sound like like if they didn't totally suck ass and have like one good song maybe.
