Alt-metal band from Porto, Portugal. Their debut album "nothing, nowhere." is scheduled for release on October 27th.
Founded in 2022 in the outskirts of the Porto district, Sleep Therapy emerged with Luís (Loyz) Peliteiro handling production, vocals, and guitar, Marco Silva on drums and vocals, and Miguel Pinhal on electric bass. All of them were former members of the metal band "Become Zero," coming together with a vision and immense ambition to craft music that could potentially challenge the norms of modern metal. As their first project, "nothing, nowhere.," took shape, they were joined by Diogo Faria on guitar and vocals, Gustavo Coelho on guitar, and later, Rui Samúdio on bass. With their addition, the lineup of this ambitious project was solidified, bringing a fresh dynamic to the group.
This group draws inspiration from classic bands like Deftones and Title Fight, as well as from more contemporary acts such as Knocked Loose, Loathe, and Bad Omens. This fusion combines the heavy metalcore riffs and groove-laden breakdowns with the melancholy, atmosphere, and musicality found in genres like shoegaze and alternative rock. Additionally, Loyz introduces a new approach to how vocals interact with the various musical elements of the band, ranging from smooth, depth-filled vocal melodies to intense, emotion-packed vocals, often occurring simultaneously.
They have plans to release their debut album at the end of October 2023 and recently unveiled their first single, titled "As The Night Becomes Awake."
