Album Selection: How Deftones influenced Sleep Token Artwork

The Sonic Collective

The Sonic Collective is a music podcast dedicated to exploring the albums, artists, and ideas that have shaped the soundtrack of our lives. Each month, the show takes a deep dive into a different album or musical concept—examining the history behind it, the cultural context in which it was created, and the lasting impact it has had on the music industry.

Hosted by Alain DuPuis, Scott Coates, Scott Gregory, and Darren Scott—yes, that’s probably one Scott too many—the conversation blends thoughtful analysis, passionate debate, and personal stories about the music that has defined generations.

From timeless classics to influential hidden gems, The Sonic Collective goes beyond the surface of the albums you know (and some you may not) to explore how they were made, why they mattered, and how they continue to influence the music we hear today.

If you love music history, great albums, and discovering new perspectives on the albums and songs that shaped our culture, The Sonic Collective is your answer.

Kids just don't get it these days.

Did the Deftones influence Sleep Token? This month, Alain kicks off the third of our four-part series exploring albums that sound like they were influenced by other albums. Or perhaps, more broadly, bands that sound like they were influenced by other bands, focusing on an album from each band that demonstrates the similarities. Can you find the influences when listening to Deftones' White Pony and Sleep Token's Sundowning? Join us at the end of the month for our discussion episode.
