Sleep Token are a masked, anonymous collective of musicians; united by their worship of an ancient deity crudely dubbed "Sleep", since no modern tongue can properly express it's name.
This being once held great power, bestowing ancient civilisations with the gift of dreams, and the curse of nightmares.
Even today, though faded from prominence, 'Sleep' yet lurks in the subconscious minds of man, woman, and child alike. Fragments of beauty, horror, anguish, pain, happiness, joy, anger, disgust, and fear coalesce to create expansive, emotionally textured music that simultaneously embodies the darkest, and the brightest abstract thoughts. He has seen them. He has felt them. He is everywhere.
Sleep Token, led by the perpetually tormented, supremely talented Vessel, creates music that brings to the fore our most submerged thoughts and feelings, coaxing them from the desolate, terrifying caves of our subconscious mind.
These older songs are super underrated
After my 5 year old son saw Vessel in Alkaline and then in this clip, he said: "This good monster perhaps from the Moon" :)
This almost feels like Vessels incarnation, like the ritual being performed to summon the deity known as "Sleep".
Found them when the summoning came out. I wish I found them earlier. Seeing him become vessel is so hauntingly beautiful. His devotion to sleep is unlike anything I've ever seen. We will all worship sleep.
Why is this the exact music I've been looking for but could never find. The exact sound I keep hearing in my head but never knowing where it's coming from. A distant sound unknown until found.
Fun fact, if you cut an apple horizontally, it reveals a 5 point star that represents earth, air, fire, water, and eather! I believe this means that sleep token will release 5 albums representing this. They have already released 3 albums based off the elements.
I always wanted more out of music, I wanted to feel everything at once. I wanted it all but never knew how to put it into words. The yearning has ended for I have found my beacon, a place to be blissfully manipulated, to feel what I never knew I needed to feel. <3
Vessel sounds so young in this.
Soul Metal. Best new band ive heard in a decade. Magnificent live too.
How can this be so underrated?
Can we talk about how creepy Vessel’s original mask is though?
Does anyone else notice him offering the apple. I know this song is much older but when you think about take me back to Eden, wanting to go back to his innocence. An apple can represent the apple of Eden showing him giving sleep his innocence. I’m sure this has already been more than figured out given some other songs, but that for some reason just hit me with this song. I also know that the apple in different forms of beliefs also represent love, beauty, happiness and wisdom. Which he could also be offering to sleep, in hopes to get it in return. I hadn’t watched this video yet so stumbling upon it and getting to make a connection on my own which like I said I’m sure had been made already, is kinda cool to me😂
This is the only band where saying “this song put me to sleep” is the highest compliment. 😴❤️
This group is unbelievable...listen to their full catalog of material. You won't be disappointed...fucking amazing. Such a unique and incredible band...WILL ABSOLUTELY BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND....EXPLORE
Ive been obsessed with these guys for the past year. I don't think I've gone a single day without devouring their discography. I find something new each time. I am so incredibly thankful for them. I struggle with disassociatian and not feeling my emotions but i feel something every time i hear this music. Im seeing them in 5 days and I'm actually giddy. Cant wait to worship in person. So thankful for the chance 🖤🖤🖤
Never gave these dudes a chance before today. Pure fucking raw art.
Wow. That was a amazing video to watch. It's definitely the beginning of Vessel and everything. We even see the link to Eden here. The worship and the rituals. It's the summoning of sleep token
a legend is born
