This song is for anyone who's ever been trapped in a nightmare. "SLEEP" is out now.

Hey everyone!

We're Here Before, a modern metal band, and we just released our new single, "SLEEP."

The song is inspired by the feeling of being trapped between nightmares and reality—drawing from experiences like sleep paralysis, anxiety, and the battles that happen inside our own minds. We wanted to create something that's both heavy and emotional, with a strong focus on atmosphere, powerful riffs, and an impactful message.

We'd genuinely appreciate your honest feedback, especially on:

Songwriting and structure

Vocals and lyrics

Guitar work

Mixing and mastering

Overall vibe and production

No pressure to like it— If you enjoy modern metal with melodic and heavy elements, we'd love to hear what you think.

Thanks for taking the time to listen. Every comment helps us grow!

What is the most overrated metric in music right now?

In this fast changing business.

Streams, Likes, Followers, Playlist-Position…???

And what is the really important one nowadays?

Looking back, what was the biggest mistake you made before releasing a track?

Looking back, what was the biggest mistake you made before releasing a track?

Could be marketing, timing, promo, artwork, mastering, pre-save campaigns, sending promos too early, not sending them at all...

What's the one thing you'd never do again?

Made a dark R&B track about toxic obsession — would love honest feedback from this community 🖤

I've been working on R&B music and just dropped my first track — "100 On Your Body (Running Red Lights)" — a dark, emotional piece about desire, obsession, and the kind of connection that leaves a permanent mark even when it's toxic. https://youtu.be/swQx8CyTj1U?si=THb0nYrDhIDJIhQn

The vibe I was going for:
🌙 Late-night energy — empty streets, headphones on
🖤 Heavy hooks with seductive, raw confidence
💔 That painful truth of loving something you know is bad for you

Some specific things I'd love feedback on:

  • Does the mood and atmosphere land the way it should?
  • Do the lyrics feel authentic to the R&B/toxic love theme?
  • What could be stronger — hooks, energy, production feel?

I'm genuinely trying to improve and this community knows R&B better than most. Would really appreciate honest thoughts — brutal feedback welcome. 🙏

What makes you instantly ignore a promo email?

DJs, radio hosts, label owners:

What is the one thing that makes you delete or ignore a promo without even listening to the track?
