After self-releasing their debut EP One in 2016, the band signed with Basick Records and issued a follow-up EP, Two, the next year. The group signed with Spinefarm Records and released their first full-length album Sundowning in 2019, which was followed in 2021 by This Place Will Become Your Tomb. A third album, Take Me Back to Eden, was released in May 2023. A 4th album, Even in Arcadia with RCA Records was announced in early March 2025 to be released later in May. Sleep Token是一支英国摇滚乐队,成立于2016年。乐队成员是一群蒙面的匿名音乐人,他们自称团结在一起崇拜一个被他们称为Sleep(睡眠)的古代神,这个神出现在乐队主唱Vessel(容器)的梦中。乐队第二张专辑《This Place Will Become Your Tomb》被Loudwire评选为2021年最佳摇滚/金属专辑第12名。Sleep Token的风格被描述为另类金属、后金属、氛围音乐、前卫金属和电子等。自成立以来,Sleep Token一直保持着完全匿名的状态——Metal Hammer杂志的Rich Hobson解释说,这些成员都戴着面具和斗篷,“遮住了他们的脸,他们也不在台上说话,只接受过一次采访。” “我们的身份并不重要,”Sleep Token的领导者Vessel告诉Metal Hammer,“音乐的营销方式取决于谁是乐队成员,谁不是乐队成员;它总是被强迫、鞭策和塑造成别的东西。但Vessel努力将人们的关注点放在他产出的作品上。” History 2016–2019: Beginnings and early releasesSleep Token debuted in September 2016 with the release of their first single, "Thread the Needle".[1] The track was followed in December by the band's debut EP One, which featured two additional songs plus alternative piano arrangements of all three tracks.[2]On February 28, 2017, they released a cover of "Hey Ya", originally by OutKast.[3]In May 2017, it was announced that Sleep Token had signed with independent label Basick Records and would release their second EP Two in July.[4] Ahead of the EP's release, the group issued two new singles — "Calcutta" in May and "Nazareth" in June.[5][6] In the publication's exclusive premiere of "Calcutta", Metal Hammer writer Luke Morton described the song as "an odd and unique mix of technical metal and expansive indie soundscapes".[5] Reviewing Two for Distorted Sound, Matt Corcoran also noted the combination of elements from multiple genres, explaining, "Across these three spellbinding tracks the band fully delivers on their genre-blending promise, moving between light indie atmospherics and dark, Meshuggah-esque heaviness and covering most of the spectrum in between."[7]One of the earliest performances of the band was at O2 Academy Islington supporting Norwegian band Motorpsycho in October,[8] and at Student Central supporting French synthwave artist Perturbator in December.[9] During early 2018, they also supported Loathe alongside Holding Absence,[10] played at festivals including Camden Rocks,[11] and performed at Maida Vale Studios for the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show.In June the band released the first in a string of standalone singles, "Jaws". In October, they released "The Way That You Were" and played their first headline (and eleventh overall) show at St Pancras Old Church, tickets for which reportedly sold out in 30 seconds.[12] "Jaws" and "The Way That You Were" were later issued together on 10" vinyl for Record Store Day in 2021.[13]2019–2022: Signing to Spinefarm and first two albumsIn June 2019, it was announced that Sleep Token had signed with Universal subsidiary Spinefarm Records. At the same time, the band's debut full-length album Sundowning was confirmed for a November release, with "The Night Does Not Belong to God" released as the first track from the record.[14] The group continued issuing songs from the album every two weeks up to the release of the album.[15] Sundowning received generally positive reviews from music critics – Kerrang! columnist Tom Shepherd gave the album a rating of four out of five, writing that it contains "moments here to truly savour, and ideas and experiences that feel unique", but noting that "the continuous nature of this dark mood entwined with the group's slow-burning, listless pace does begin to drag across [its] 50-minute runtime".[16] Prior to the album's release, Sleep Token played two sold-out shows in London and Manchester;[15] after its release, they embarked on their first North American tour supporting metalcore group Issues alongside Polyphia and Lil Aaron.[17]After a short UK tour at the beginning of the year, several shows due to feature Sleep Token during 2020 were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These included planned appearances at Knotfest Japan in March,[18] Download Festival in June,[19] and Madrid's Mad Cool in July.[20] During the summer, the band released an expanded version of Sundowning with four new piano-based tracks collectively known as The Room Below, which included cover versions of Billie Eilish's "When the Party's Over" and Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)".[21] The group were due to return to live performances in March 2021 with five socially-distanced shows called "The Isolation Rituals",[22] however these were ultimately cancelled due to ongoing pandemic-related concerns.[23] They eventually returned in the summer, headlining the second stage at the Download Festival Pilot on 18 June.[24] The day before, the band announced their second album This Place Will Become Your Tomb and released a new single, "Alkaline".[25]"Alkaline" was followed in August and September by "The Love You Want" and "Fall for Me", respectively.[26] This Place Will Become Your Tomb was released on 24 September 2021 and gave Sleep Token their first chart positions when it debuted at number 39 on the UK Albums Chart and number 13 on the Scottish Albums Chart.[27][28] The album was promoted on an eight-date headline tour of the UK and Ireland in November, with support from A.A. Williams.[29] In January 2022, Sleep Token were featured as a cover artist for Metal Hammer magazine.[30] More shows followed in the spring and summer – in April, frontman Vessel performed an "intimate" solo show (joined by only three backing vocalists) dubbed A Ritual from the Room Below;[31] in May, the group supported Architects alongside Malevolence on a short UK tour;[32] and in the summer, they played several festivals including Download,[33] as well as touring Australia with Northlane.[34] Later dates followed in North America supporting In This Moment with Nothing More and Cherry Bombs.[35]2022–2025: Take Me Back to EdenTowards the end of 2022, Sleep Token announced a UK headline tour for January 2023 supported by Northlane,[36] as well as an Australian tour for April/May.[37] Ahead of a string of shows in Germany, the band released the single "Chokehold", their first new material since This Place Will Become Your Tomb, on 5 January 2023.[38] This was followed by "The Summoning" the next day,[39] "Granite" two weeks later,[40] and "Aqua Regia" the day after.[41] All four tracks released since the start of 2023 were included on the band's third album, Take Me Back to Eden, which was released in May 2023. Take Me Back To Eden marked a significant change in the band's creative process, as they stopped working with their long-time producer George Lever in favour of Carl Bown. Vessel also took on a co-producer role with Bown for the first time in the band's career.In March 2023, Sleep Token were nominated for Best UK Artist at the Heavy Music Awards.[44] The band were also booked to perform at that year's summer festivals, including Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium,[45] Wacken Open Air in Germany,[46] and Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK.[47] The band attracted significant international attention when video footage of their 29 April 2023 performance of "Atlantic" in Sydney, Australia went viral due to an audience member’s audible fart which was described in the media as "absolutely sinister" and "ferocious".[48][49][50][51] In May 2023, Sleep Token won the Best UK Artist award at the Heavy Music Awards. In the same month, the band announced a standalone headline show at Wembley Arena in December 2023. The show sold out within 10 minutes of the tickets going on general sale. During the show, the band revealed new masks to indicate the band entering a "new era".Following their success in 2023, Sleep Token received widespread acclaim from the music press. Metal Hammer readers voted Take Me Back to Eden as the best album of the year,[54] while the magazine's writers ranked it fourth.[55] Revolver also named it the best album of the year, [56] as did Rock Sound, which additionally recognized Sleep Token as the Best British Band of the Year. [57] Kerrang! ranked the album third on its year-end list, while NME placed it 21st, [58] and named "The Summoning" the 18th best song of the year. [59] By February 2024, the album had sold over 50,000 copies in the United Kingdom.On 14 February 2024, Sleep Token announced their signing with RCA Records.The band continued to receive accolades in 2024. On 22 August, Take Me Back to Eden won Best Album at the Heavy Music Awards.[62] Later that year, on 25 November, the Billboard Music Awards named Sleep Token a finalist for Top Hard Rock Album, an award they went on to win on 12 December. [63]On 19 February, 2025, the band released a TikTok video directing people to the website showmehowtodanceforever.com. [64]2025–present: Even in ArcadiaOn 13 March 2025, Sleep Token announced their fourth album Even in Arcadia and released its lead single, "Emergence"[65] featuring a saxophone solo by Gabi Rose from Bilmuri who had been touring with them recently. [66]. The album is to be released on 9 May 2025. Artistry, identity and musical style Since their formation, the members of Sleep Token have remained anonymous. Rich Hobson of Metal Hammer explains that the members, who all wear masks and cloaks, "obscure their faces, they don't talk onstage, and they have only ever done one interview", with that very publication.[68]The lead singer and primary songwriter of the band is known by the moniker "Vessel".[69] Vessel and II are the only members of the band who have been credited as performers on Sleep Token's studio albums. II is also the only member apart from Vessel who has been given songwriting credits.The group's focus on anonymity and visual style have been likened to similar practices employed by Ghost,[68][70][71] Slipknot,[69][72][73] and Gwar.[72][73] Slipknot's frontman Corey Taylor has praised the band's image and artistry, comparing their approach to the one Slipknot took in the band's early days.[74]In 2017, Sleep Token's then-new label Basick Records published a description of the band which read, "A band that goes above and beyond simply writing and playing music, Sleep Token are said to be "the mortal representatives of the ancient deity known only as 'Sleep', led by the masked and cloaked figure appointed 'Vessel' ... the master creator behind the music."[75] Since the band’s formation, only two interviews have ever been granted. The first, with Metal Hammer at the time of their signing with Basick, frontman Vessel expanded on the lore of the band, stating that "We are here to serve Sleep and project His message." When asked about Sleep, he stated that "He is everywhere, at all times. Vessel encountered Sleep in a dream, with promise of glory and magnificence if Vessel followed Him."[5] The second, a video interview and playthrough with drummer II with YouTube channel Drumeo, talking about his earliest influences of nu-metal drummers Joey Jordison of Slipknot and Matthew McDonough of Mudvayne to incorporating elements of the United Kingdom’s electronic music and hip hop scenes, to his playing style with Sleep Token which he considers a blend of gospel music with that of Deftones drummer Abe Cunningham.[76]Musically, Sleep Token have been categorised in a wide range of genres, including alternative metal,[77] post-rock/metal,[78] progressive metal,[79] indie rock/pop,[80] and djent.[81] Emma Wilkes, of Revolver, noted elements of trap and jazz. According to Mary Varvaris of The Music, "[the band fuses] heavy metal, electronica, hip-hop, and modern-day djent/progressive metal."[81] Hobson has suggested that the band has a "fluid approach to genre", claiming that they incorporate "elements of everything from tech metal and alternative to pop and R&B".[68] Similarly, John D. Buchanan of the website AllMusic has written that Sleep Token "combine post-rock, post-classical, and post-metal tropes with soulful indie pop vocals into a blend that sounds like nothing else".[82] The band's label Spinefarm Records has simply stated that "in a world of form and genre, Sleep Token cannot be confined".[83] The band have been vague about their influences, simply crediting "a plethora of artists" as inspiration;[5] early in their career, though, they did name Leprous, Agent Fresco, Bon Iver and Meshuggah as influences.[84] Commentators have also posited performers such as Deftones, Cult of Luna, Explosions in the Sky and Ólafur Arnalds as possible influences. 中文介绍 Sleep Token是一支英国摇滚乐队,成立于2016年。乐队成员是一群蒙面的匿名音乐人,他们自称团结在一起崇拜一个被他们称为Sleep(睡眠)的古代神,这个神出现在乐队主唱Vessel(容器)的梦中。乐队第二张专辑《This Place Will Become Your Tomb》被Loudwire评选为2021年最佳摇滚/金属专辑第12名。Sleep Token的风格被描述为另类金属、后金属、氛围音乐、前卫金属和电子等。自成立以来,Sleep Token一直保持着完全匿名的状态——Metal Hammer杂志的Rich Hobson解释说,这些成员都戴着面具和斗篷,“遮住了他们的脸,他们也不在台上说话,只接受过一次采访。” “我们的身份并不重要,”Sleep Token的领导者Vessel告诉Metal Hammer,“音乐的营销方式取决于谁是乐队成员,谁不是乐队成员;它总是被强迫、鞭策和塑造成别的东西。但Vessel努力将人们的关注点放在他产出的作品上。”MembersVessel – vocals; studio guitar, keyboards, bass, productionII – drums, percussion[88]III – touring member; bass guitar[89]IV – touring member; guitar, backing vocals[90]Espera – touring members; backing vocals[
