I’m Nikki B, and in this first episode of Lorecore, I share how falling into the Sleep Token fandom cracked open a deeper obsession with the meaning behind heavy music.

The name 'Lorecore' is a nod to that intersection where emotional intensity meets storytelling. It’s for the lore heads, the overthinkers, and the emotionally unwell (affectionately).

Each episode, we'll unpack the emotional architecture behind music that moves us through the lenses of mythology, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. From Sleep Token to Bad Omens, Coheed & Cambria, Tool, and beyond, we’ll dive into the bands building sonic worlds worth obsessing over.

So if you’ve ever cried over a breakdown or spiralled over band lore at 2am… welcome home.
