Sleep Of Monsters

**Sleep of Monsters** is a Finnish gothic rock band that emerged from Helsinki’s dark, eclectic music scene. Formed by vocalist Ike Vil (ex-Babylon Whores) and bassist Sammy Vänskä (ex-Necrophagia, Sentenced), the group weaves eerie, poetic tales with a blend of theatrical rock and doom-laden melodies. Their sound—a mix of haunting vocals, brooding guitars, and occult-inspired lyrics—has earned them a cult following, particularly among fans of Scandinavian avant-garde metal and gothic storytelling.

Since their debut album *Produces Reason* (2014), Sleep of Monsters has leaned into their signature blend of existential dread and dark humor, with releases like *II - Poison Garden* (2017) and *Black Blacker Than Black* (2020) refining their macabre aesthetic. Their music often feels like a midnight séance, channeling themes of death, mythology, and the surreal. While they keep a relatively low profile, their devoted fanbase cherishes their ability to turn gloom into something weirdly catchy.
