While She Sleeps是一支来自谢菲尔德的英国金属核乐队。乐队成立于2006年，成员包括主唱Lawrence Taylor、吉他手Sean Long和Mat Welsh、贝斯手Aaran McKenzie和鼓手Adam Savage。他们目前在英国签约了自己的厂牌Sleep Brothers，并与美国的Spinfarm Records和澳大利亚的UNFD合作。他们已经发行了三张EP和五张录音室专辑。2012年，他们获得了Kerrang!最佳英国新人奖。主唱Taylor是乐队中唯一的非初创成员。尽管如此，他仍然出现在除了乐队的前两张EP之外的每一张作品中。While She Sleeps的音乐风格经常被评论家描述为金属硬核（倾向于朋克的金属核），乐队的典型特征是音调低沉的吉他、厚重的贝斯、嘶吼的人声和快节奏的鼓声——偶尔辅以旋律优美的吉他音调和钢琴间奏。在2013年接受EMP采访时，Taylor解释说，乐队的名字源于一本杂志，其中讲述了一个女人在丈夫睡觉时谋杀他的故事，并把名字改成了“她”，而不是“他”。Taylor还解释说，他喜欢把这个名字看作是指沉没在海底的交通工具或船只，因为船和其他交通工具通常用女性代词指代。
