Sleep Token are the talk of the town. Every once in a while a band just nail that recipe with both the music they produce and the marketing strategy to release. Even then, some bands just get super lucky and their new tunes go viral. The London group have cracked it this year with a suite of singles that have stopped the modern metal world in their tracks.
In the midst of announcing their (now completely sold out) Australian tour, Sleep Token debuted 'Chokehold' and before fans had even realised our blown their minds (and other things) were, they went and dropped 'The Summoning' immediately afterwards; followed by a drip-feed of singles 'Granite' and 'Aqua Regia'. If you've missed this raging storm, it's worth playing catch up.
The anonymous prog-metalers have finally let slip their new album details. On May 19, they'll drop their Take Me Back to Eden LP via Spinefarm Records, with all the tracks mentioned above plus another newie titled 'Vore' - with a total of 12 on the record. Like the singles preceding it, this fresh track is a banger and fuses the drama with the technical prowess.
