Mysterious collective Sleep Token have released a cover of OutKast’s classic ‘Hey Ya’ ahead of their forthcoming rituals at Reading & Leeds Festival. The piano-led version strips back the original hit to create a dark yet stunning rendition.
Sleep Token have recently played shows alongside Perturbator, Holding Absence and Loathe, and appeared at The Great Escape, Camden Rocks, Download Festival and as Tech-Fest’s secret act – an impressive feat for a collective who have only performed eight live rituals since their inception. The mysterious beings also entered Maida Vale Studios earlier this year for a special performance for the Radio 1 Rock Show, and were nominated in the Best New Band category at this year’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods.
Experience Sleep Token live at one of the following dates:
24.08.2018 – Leeds Festival (Ritual IX)
26.08.2018 – Reading Festival (Ritual X)
Sleep Token are an entity unlike any encountered before. Nameless, faceless and shrouded in mystery, SLEEP TOKEN defy definition. Genreless and unbounded by tradition, SLEEP TOKEN create music for all. SLEEP TOKEN’s mission is to project His voice, and create music that conveys our most primal, powerful, and peaceful emotions.
Sleep Token take inspiration from a plethora of artists: Leprous, Agent Fresco, Bon Iver, Meshuggah, and many more filter through the band’s mysterious masked mouthpiece.
Metal Hammer, the Radio 1 Rock Show and Kerrang! amongst others are already initiates of the band, some of the first to ask: who are Sleep Token?
Life is fleeting and will pass. Sleep is eternal. Worship.
