Editor's note

Oh, Sleeper's heavy riffs and melodic faith

A Texas post-hardcore band whose songs blend aggression with personal struggle.

For a good sense of their approach, try 'The Marriage Of Steel And Skin' or 'Vices Like Vipers'. They're both heavy, but there's a melodic thread running through the noise.

Songs like 'The Marriage Of Steel And Skin' show how they balanced punishing riffs with melodic passages. Their lyrics often wrestled with faith and personal demons in a way that felt specific to their corner of post-hardcore.

They formed in Fort Worth in 2006 and released their debut 'When I Am God' the next year. After 'Children of Fire' in 2011, the band went quiet for a few years, with lineup shifts along the way. Their sound stayed consistent through those changes, even as the scene around them moved.
