Sleep Token - Tour 2023

They are considered one of the most exciting, but also most mysterious bands of the modern Metal scene: SLEEP TOKEN are a real exception. In June, the band will play an exclusive club show in Germany.

In a time when everything can be clearly named and defined, the mystery SLEEP TOKEN offers exactly the kind of distraction we need in our grey, often all-too-mundane everyday lives. The masked, anonymous collective fascinates with its artful visual identity and fluid, elusive mix of genres. Founded in London in 2016, it doesn’t take long for SLEEP TOKEN to become a hyped underground phenomenon. According to the band's myth, the group around mastermind Vessel consists of emissaries of the ancient deity Sleep who want to spread his message on earth. They already succeeded with their first two EPs ‘One’ and ‘Two’; they finally celebrated their big breakthrough with their debut album ‘Sundowning’, which was released in 2019.

The scene is excited about these phantoms and their hardly categorizable mixture of Alternative and Progressive Metal, Post- and Indie Rock. Comparisons with genre heavyweights like LEPROUS, AGENT FRESCO and MESHUGGAH come up, but none of that really does justice to this unusual sound. With their second album ‘This Place Will Become Your Tomb’, SLEEP TOKEN landed in the British charts for the first time in 2021. The band has already proved that it has no fear of the mainstream with ingenious cover versions of Pop hits like OUTKAST’s ‘Hey Ya’, BILLIE EILISH’s ‘When The Party’s Over’ and WHITNEY HOUSTON’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’.

SLEEP TOKEN’s third album, ‘Take Me Back To Eden’, will be released on 19th May 2023. The first pre-release tracks, including the explosive ‘Vore’ and the soulful ‘Aqua Regia’, already give us an idea that we are in for another ambitious, diverse and uniquely dark work. After a German tour supporting ARCHITECTS, SLEEP TOKEN will come to Cologne with their brand-new material for their first headline show here in Germany in June, in between numerous festival appearances.
