Mysterious metal giants Sleep Token return with ‘Emergence,’ a new album, and a massive U.S. Tour

After weeks of cryptic teasers, Sleep Token has finally emerged from the shadows. The anonymous UK metal collective has unleashed their new single, Emergence, marking the beginning of a bold new era. The track is the band’s first release since their acclaimed 2023 album, Take Me Back To Eden, and it arrives alongside major announcements—an upcoming album, Even In Arcadia, and a massive U.S. arena tour.

Set for release on May 9, 2025, Even In Arcadia will be Sleep Token’s fourth studio album. If Emergence is anything to go by, fans can expect another masterclass in genre-blending intensity. The single opens with haunting piano melodies before building into a climactic fusion of hip-hop rhythms, djent-heavy breakdowns, and an unexpected saxophone solo. It’s classic Sleep Token—ethereal yet crushing, familiar yet unpredictable.

The band’s ever-growing fanbase is already dissecting every element of Emergence, speculating on what Even In Arcadia might bring. While the single doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it expands on the sonic palette that has propelled Sleep Token to global fame. Their signature mix of alternative metal, progressive djent, and ambient pop remains intact, but the evolution is clear.

With Emergence, Sleep Token isn’t just releasing music—they’re building an atmosphere, an experience. And that experience is about to go global.
