I do like While She Sleeps. I have all of their records and have seen them several times. They've been very notable in recent years as a band that has gone back down the D.I.Y route, axing over-paid industry middle-men and taking control of their own destiny. While She Sleeps are currently very prolific on Patreon and are still regarded as major players in the UK Metal scene. 

Sleeps Society is another solid album. It's packed with everything you'd expect. Melodic Metalcore, awesome lead work, bouncy riffs, and shout-along choruses. If you liked the band before, there's no reason you won't enjoy Sleeps Society.

For me, the best tracks on here are Systematic, You Are All I Need, Enlightenment(?), and the title track, which has a kind-of extra chorus right at the end of the song which is total magic. 

OK, they haven't hit the dizzying heights of other bands from the same scene like Architects and Bring Me The Horizon, but I think While She Sleeps make better records. They're also a great live band, so I hope they just carry on doing their thing without the outside influence of big labels.
