Sleep Token unleashes one of the year’s most anticipated albums with “Even In Arcadia”

British band Sleep Token, which has achieved worldwide popularity, has released their highly anticipated new album “Even In Arcadia”, with the title track serving as the focus single. The band, signed to RCA last year, released the album’s first single “Emergence” in March, which has already streamed over 61 million times globally. This was followed by a second single, “Caramel“, which has been streamed more than 47 million times worldwide. These were followed by the “Damocles” single at the end of April. The album is expected to push the boundaries of sound and emotion even further, sliding into something otherworldly. The singles “Emergence” and “Caramel” have propelled the band’s rise – they have climbed onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached the top position on the Hot Hard Rock chart.

On “Even In Arcadia”, Sleep Token presents an impressive and powerful collection – a work that combines the mythical and modern, the sacred and the primitive. Through expansive instrumentals and lyrics that deal with inner darkness, fallen gods, and shattered identities, the album captures the feeling of disintegration and reconstruction in a world that demands extrasensory perception. “Even In Arcadia” is a spectral testimony to change, love, and the price we pay to become something.

Remaining an enigmatic and mysterious band, Sleep Token combines elements of post-rock, post-classical, and post-metal with soulful indie-pop vocals, creating their unique and original blend. They released their innovative debut album “Sundowning” in 2019 and achieved broader success two years later with the UK chart-climbing album “This Place Will Become Your Tomb”. The anonymous, masked collective released their third full-length album, “Take Me Back to Eden”, in 2023. The album quickly gained international success, rising high on charts across multiple markets.

Their success is also evident on the concert stage – Sleep Token will start their album tour in North America in September, covering 17 shows, which sold out in less than two weeks! This is not a big surprise for this band, as Sleep Token has never headlined an event that wasn’t sold out.

Although Sleep Token is known for not giving interviews, media around the world can’t help but write about this phenomenon:

“Sleep Token offer their fans an entire world to immerse themselves in if they so wish. It’s a place of escapism, and the foundation of a huge fan community that’s dedicated to studying the band’s creativity. While they have the same fervor as any other fandom, there’s still a notable difference.” –NME

“The most exciting band in metal right now.” –Metal Hammer

“Artist and Album of 2023.” –Revolver
