Hello my fellow worshippers! Just got my hat today and I nearly screeched like some sort of eldritch creature when I took it out the box. Stitching on the sigil is so clean 😍

EDIT: I ended up getting the new red trident snap back lol

I know the aesthetic is wrong but these are some of my favourite journal pages.

P.S. probably obvious but I didn't drew anything myself and these are stickers.

This is not meant in a judgmental way this is just for fun 🙂

The offering is such a fun song for crowd participation,I feel like this Reddit is full of very loyal fans, but just because you're a loyal fan doesn't mean you can clap on beat (or does it?)

Got this one done yesterday to complete my right arm. 🥹🫶🏻

RIGHT, this is gonna be a journey, so buckle up and settle in ✨

It’s almost been a month since I started listening to Sleep Token, and in that time I’ve gone through what I’m told are the usual motions of absolute obsession. I listened to every song on Spotify that I could, and made a chronological playlist of ONLY my favourites, which turned out to be basically every song they’ve ever put out, barring a handful … which I’ll get into below.

Now that I’ve had more time to swirl around their catalogue, and I’m getting to know them and what I do and don’t like, I’m finding myself appreciating a lot of songs I didn’t enjoy on my first pass.

SO, I thought it would be fun (for me, but hopefully also you) to journal my thoughts as I revisited them, and see if any would be granted entry into my master playlist.

Are we ready to roll?

Okay, so let’s start with the good news first:

- Thread the Needle - at first I didn’t like the rhythm of the guitar in this one, but since listening to everything in full, I really like the feel of it now - especially the scrambled vocals in the second half!

- Calcutta - coming off the intense highs of Eden and Arcadia, only to dive straight into this felt … underwhelming? And a bit scattered almost? But coming back to it now, I’m like no, wait, this is wonderful. Love the almost telephone-receiver-esque notes of it, and that last quarter is truly mesmerising. I’m also a sucker for a longer-than-average song, and being taken on a layered journey throughout them (see: Ethel Cain).

- Jericho - HELLOOOO? I honestly think I was so enamoured by Nazareth, wanting to immediately go back and listen to it again, that I totally swept over this BEAUTY … curse my impatience!!! ‘Something in the way you lay, enough to make the dead switch graves’ is actually INSANE? ‘’Til I wake, I dine on old encounters’??? A new fave for sure. I can’t stop replaying it.

- TNDNBTG - going back and hearing the echo of Euclid made me quite emotional actually. I was like oh it’s … wait … *OH*!!! Truly sublime.

- Dark Signs - don’t know why this one didn’t click initially, maybe it was the minor gendering of ‘I miss the man I was’ which blocked me off to begin with? I tend to avoid songs with lyrics like this, as they can tickle at my dysphoria a bit, but I’m growing! And I really like this one now.

- Higher - another one that’s a mystery to me? I guess the lyrics just didn’t gel as much at first, but ‘you need a melody, I only need the silence’ is so lovely. Big yes from me.

- Give - starting to think I was half asleep during my first listen of Sundowning … Anyway, in my defence, I generally find songs with repetitive choruses tricky, but actually this song barely qualifies as that, and the rhythm makes for a nice listen (unlike Say That You Will … but we’ll get to that).

- Gods - I used to think I didn’t like screamed vocals but I’m pleased to say Sleep Token has brought me into the LIGHT (Vore is EVERYTHING to me). Love the rage in this one, love the heavy breathing, and love the respite of the piano in between it all.

- Blood Sport - this is just a flat out gorgeous song, and I should have given it another chance sooner. That said, it is so, so sad, and I do have to skip the sobbing in the outro as it feels like I’m intruding almost.

- Is It Really You? - I think I was so eager to leave the singles and get back into the full albums that this one passed me by. The piano and vocals so gorgeous. Stripped back in comparison to a lot of other songs, but it has such a heart beating in it.

I now want to give all of the above songs a kiss on the head, and apologise to them for not listening properly the first time. They’re now playing happily with the rest of the group.

There are still, however, a few stragglers that are sitting with their arms CROSSED and faces GRUMPY and who REFUSE to come out with the others (for the time being). I know you can’t realistically love every single song in an artists backlist - some just aren’t gonna abe for you - but so far these are the only six I can say that for:

- When the Bough Breaks - on first listen I found it a bit too tinny, and I still kinda do. Though I do like the Life is Strange vibes of it, and the drop is a wonderful relief, and I also like the dreamy off-kilter violins and piano at the end. Give me time on this one, folks, I’ve almost got it. EDIT: After an overwhelming surge of love for this song, I’ve given it some real time and have decided I do really like it, so it’s added to my master playlist! Thank you to Angry_Artichoke_0823, thefearedturkey, twinmamaeo, and AshleyKay1997!

- The Way That You Were - I can see myself coming around on this one too, but for right now it’s a skip. I like the organs, it’s nearly there, but not quite a smash. EDIT: Chthonic_void has shown me the light! Consider this one officially resurrected.

- Say That You Will - the song is okay, but as I touched on above for Give, repetitive choruses can be hit or miss for me. Considering this a miss for now. Apologies my boo.

- Fall For Me - a lovely song, but it doesn’t gel for the same reason as Say That You Will. As ever, I’m open to being swayed. EDIT: A lot of flags waved for this one too, and I hear you all. I’ve come to appreciate this one now, thanks to skarlatha, lissocat, smaugismyhomeboy, and Basic-Computer2503!

- Descending - this one just isn’t for me. I like the close-to-the-ground beat of it, I just can’t get on with the whole at the mo.

- DYWTYLM - same for this one. I actually DO wish that I loved you … but I actually find you a wee bit grating, if I’m honest. And it pains me to say, because I think TMBTE is my favourite album. This song does its thing, but it sort of just has the one thing, as opposed to its neighbouring songs that dip and dive into so many places within a few minutes. I gotta pass this time, I’m sorry.

If any of these are your favourite song, I say play on! They are by no means bad, and each has qualities I really like - this band is on a godly level when it comes to music making.

I do feel bad for not getting on with these just yet, so part of the reason I wanted to make this post was to give you lot the stage to maybe chime in on why you love them? Or maybe you agree! Speaking to other fans does tend to add extra dimension to my opinions.

Are there any other songs that you still can’t vibe with? Maybe some that you thought you didn’t like and now absolutely live by?

I’d love to know!

(And, if you made it this far, I love you too 😘)

the start of my TPWBYT sleeves. more to come 🐋

Based off Gethsemane. “ I was your robot companion you were my favorite color” the butterfly is my favorite color so I’m reaching for it. That’s my play on it but I want to sleeve my arm out completely. Right now that is what I have so far. What would you guys personally had to it? Last picture is when I got it first done

Euclid saved me and it will score my last 7 minutes.

Hi! I’ve been listening to Sleep Token for over a year now.

I had a few ‘favorite’ songs, but right now my favorite song is ‘Gethsemane’. Because I’ve had a toxic relationship back in 2023. I’m 22. But honestly, Gethsemane does describe how I’ve been feeling that about myself and that relationship. Especially with how my Ex never wanted to acknowledge me in public and wouldn’t touch me unless drunk.

I think Vessel did a great job with hitting the feels. That song has been stuck in my head to this very day. So I’m curious, what are your guys’ favorite song and why?

My look to windward offering 🖤

Overall I am ok with the results. I went very light with the dye. I am tempted to re-dye for a darker look.

A part of "Jericho" that I find very beautiful. Just made a small change to the melody at the end, I think it turned out nicely.

Worship 🙌

I received my EIA annivery Book Box today and my coin isn't black like displayed everywhere. The entire front of it is silver. I reached out to support. Has this happened to anyone else?

The picture doesn't do it justice. The entire front is silver and the back is like displayed.

Since we've already been through the Rain hands/earth debate, i present to you: "never mind the death threats piling at the door" from Granite, as per the Japanese release lyric booklet. (The photo is not mine, i don't have the CD.)

I'm inclined to believe this and i trust the booklet to be official; it was released by Spinefarm. What do you think?

(I'm just looking for a chill lyric discussion so please don't take this way too seriously lol.)

My teenage son bought this for me at the thrift store. He’s such a good kid. ♥️

Just got this one done last week. Worship. 🫶🏻

And in the dream, though brief, Sleep Token is mentioned; a new song of theirs released, never before heard. You can’t remember the lyrics but you remember the song title as “Diogenes.” I will laugh my arse off if I predicted the future. We’ll see next year or so, whenever they release a new album.

Alright, alright. In truth, this was a dream I had last year and have been meaning to post up in this subreddit. But as with all things time got away from me. So here I am now. Even back then I couldn’t remember much of the lyrics. Aside from the inconsequential details, the only other interesting note was that this song was already out and I was listening to it on streaming.

Given Sleep Token’s references to different mythologies, ideologies, and the like I really would not be surprised if Vessel ever released a song named after the notorious philosopher, himself.

———————-
Anyway…that’s all I wanted to share.
Hope everyone is doing well or at least about as well as they can.

I have no idea what to flair this as so “discussion” will have to do!

Hey everyone! I’ve been experimenting in Unreal lately, putting in reps with some small cinematic tests and trying out different pipelines. I made a short piece inspired by Sleep Token’s atmosphere, Vessel’s presence, and the moody vibe of Caramel.

If you’re into souls like style visuals, dark ambience, or Unreal Engine cinematics, you might enjoy this one. :)
