Sleep Theory Announce “Words Are Worthless” Video

Breakout four-piece Sleep Theory — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — had a meteoric 2025.

They released their debut album, Afterglow, produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects), last spring. The album, described by Revolver as an “exciting mix of metalcore, pop and R&B,” is their first full-length for Epitaph Records and has accumulated over 515 million global streams to date. The band, lauded as “one of the most compelling new acts in heavy music” by Kerrang!, then embarked on its first-ever headline tour in the summer, most dates of which were sold out, in addition to packing crowds at every festival stage they performed on. They also appeared on the covers of Rock Sound, Kerrang!, Revolver, and Outburn, and continued to turn heads.

Today, they share the video for “Words Are Worthless” from Afterglow.

The song is a violin-enhanced power ballad like only Sleep Theory could craft. The video, which features the band in performance mode, boasts a goth noir vibe. Follow along and watch the video here.

Sleep Theory are touring through the summer and beyond. All upcoming dates are below, including a mostly sold-out run of Europe, with some venues being upgraded to accommodate demand. The band has also booked radio shows with Three Days Grace and I Prevail, and a slew of American and European festival appearances.
