Sleep Tokenâs new single âEmergenceâ proves metalâs new kings remain fearless as ever
Sleep Tokenâ??s new single â??Emergenceâ?? showcases the masked metallers at their sprawling, genre-defying best â?? read the NME review
The anticipation from Sleep Tokenâs new âofferingâ â as they have always described their songs â significantly exceeds anything thatâs come before. Since the anonymous metal bandâs third album âTake Me Back To Edenâ in 2023, the British groupâs stock has skyrocketed. This mysterious masked collective shifted 40,000 tickets in London alone last year, and are set to headline Download Festival this June. Heavy music arguably hasnât seen a rise this rapid since Slipknotâs in the 2000s â made even more impressive by the fact their smash hit âThe Summoningâ is a six-minute prog song, spanning djent, arena-rock and even funk.
Now, after plenty of teasing, they have returned with âEmergenceâ â the first single from their newly announced album âEven In Arcadiaâ (due May 9). Clocking in at six minutes and 26 seconds, it shows the band now seem increasingly unafraid to execute these long, winding tracks which switch effortlessly between genres (especially after âAscensionismâ and âTake Me Back To Edenâ became two fan favourites).
AdvertisementIts first act â soundtracked by soul-stirring piano and divine guitar â carries the hallmarks of a more blissful new chapter. âCome out, come out / Out from underneath who you were,â vocalist Vessel pleads, perhaps marking a new phase in his complex, emotional relationship with the deity known as âSleepâ explored over the bandâs first three albums.
But we all know the sucker punch is coming. As the song builds with some Avenged Sevenfold-esque guitar tapping and trap-pop cadences from Vessel, an unexpected âWoop!â beckons in some piercing heaviness. The riffs remain selective but purposeful, intensified by some momentarily bleak imagery: âDark days for your solsticeâ¦Tell me what you meant by / Living past your half-life.â
Thereâs time for one signature, heaven-sent chorus that affirms the songâs hopeful nature before an extended jazz outro warms the energy back down, throwing perhaps their most left-field curveball yet. For many artists, this type of track would be a bold, risky lead single. For Sleep Token â knowing the high standards theyâve set â it feels like business as usual. âEmergenceâ might be their first release on major label RCA, but thereâs no sense of anything commercial seeping into their sound. Nor are there any signs of a safe approach, given the pressure of expectation around âEven In Arcadiaâ.
If anything, âEmergenceâ confirms the left turns they still have in store, and maintains the intrigue around the extent of the world-building on âEven In Arcadiaâ â which some fans are expecting will step away from the connected trilogy of albums that came before. In the meantime, we can only continue what Sleep Token always asked us to do: worship.
