Calling all SLEEP TOKEN cultists! Prepare to witness the masked metal collective ascend to even greater heights. The enigmatic group, known for their captivating performances and genre-bending sound, has just announced a European headline tour this fall, alongside some exciting news about their future.
A New Era Dawns
Fans who’ve been following SLEEP TOKEN since their mysterious beginnings will recall the unveiling of new masks in December 2023. This cryptic gesture hinted at a potential evolution, and the RCA signing confirms those suspicions. With the backing of a major label, the band is poised to reach a wider audience and further solidify their position as a musical force to be reckoned with.
Teeth of God Across the Pond: European Tour with BILMURI
Now, let’s get down to the headbanging business! SLEEP TOKEN will embark on a European tour this fall, dubbed “The Teeth of God.” This tour kicks off on November 9th and runs until the 22nd, offering fans across Europe a chance to witness the band’s captivating live show. Joining them on this journey is the rising alternative metal outfit BILMURI, who will be serving as the opening act.
SLEEP TOKEN commented on social media: “Come November, Europe shall gather in Worship.
“Opening proceedings in Europe, as indeed the United Kingdom, will be the Bilmuri collective.
“Prepare.”
Double Dose of BILMURI: UK Leg Follows European Tour
If you reside in the UK, get ready for a double dose of sonic mayhem. BILMURI will also be opening for SLEEP TOKEN during their previously announced UK arena tour, which kicks off right after the European leg wraps up on November 25th. This provides UK fans with a unique opportunity to experience the electrifying energy of both bands in quick succession.
Catch Them Live in the US Before They Head Overseas
For those of you stateside, fret not! The band is currently tearing up the US with their “Teeth of God North American Tour.” They haven’t vanished across the Atlantic just yet, and you can still catch them live if you act fast. Their tour kicks off on April 30th at the Financial Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, so head over to their website and snag those tickets before they disappear!
A Masked Metal Phenomenon
For the uninitiated, SLEEP TOKEN might seem like a shrouded mystery. The band members perform entirely cloaked in elaborate, ceremonial masks, adding a layer of intrigue to their already captivating stage presence. However, beyond the theatrics lies a band that masterfully blends elements of alternative rock, metal, and electronica. Their 2023 album, “Take Me Back To Eden,” released via Spinefarm, showcased their sonic diversity and songwriting prowess, solidifying their place as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the current musical landscape.
Their debut EP, “One,” arrived in 2016, a cryptic offering that hinted at the band’s unique sonic vision. Subsequent EPs and their critically-acclaimed 2019 debut album, “Sundowning,” solidified their reputation for pushing boundaries. Their music is characterized by downtuned guitars, soaring vocals (both clean and guttural), and intricate rhythms that create a hypnotic soundscape.
The band’s live performances are equally captivating. Vessel, clad in a black robe and mask, commands the stage with a haunting presence. Behind him, the masked instrumentalists unleash a wall of sound, creating a truly immersive experience for the audience. The group‘s refusal to reveal their identities only adds to the intrigue, allowing the music to speak for itself.
