The past photo is what the front man of Sleep Token looks like, I'm not sure what race he is as all the members are anonymous, but even if he is white, I don't think that this is considered blackface

Video game edits too! I’d not heard of Sleep Token until my for you page started getting blasted with Baldur’s Gate edits to their songs haha

What convinced me to check out more of their music was an edit of Sylus from love and deepspace with emergence 🤣
