From the English Midlands where dreams go to nap, Vessel ended up in London after university, where he joined the metal band Sleep Token with II on drums, III on bass, and IV on guitar. Juggling a hectic music career while keeping his identity under wraps is a challenge. And who needs real names when masks and aliases do the trick? Music and songwriting, yes. Fame? No thanks. Vessel is just trying to keep up, terrified and all.

“You’ve got me up in a frenzy.”
