Exploring Sleep Token Band Members, Songs And Albums

Sleep Token was formed by four band members who decided to go anonymous from day one and keep their identities hidden.

The band cites their reason to be anonymous saying they want the fans to focus only on their music and nothing else. Hence, whenever they appear on the stage or when we see them on a video, all four of them are completely covered up.

In their concerts, most often than not, they wear different masks, which have become synonymous with the members, and a black cloak to hide their identities.

Sleep Token Band Members

Although we have no clue as to who the Sleep Token band members are, we know their stage names. The four of them are just known as Vessel, II, III, and IV respectively.

The band members also paint themselves in black refusing to show anyone just even a small bit of themselves. It is unclear what II, III, and IV do in the band since we don't know who's who.

However, one thing we know for a certain is that the lead singer and the frontman of the band is known as Vessel. He is the leader of the group. The three other members are on the lead guitar, bass guitar, and drums.

For some songs, they even have backup vocalists and musicians, who also remain hidden in their masks and cloaks.

When it comes to the lore of Sleep Token and how it was formed, the story is very interesting. Vessel, the leader of the band was visited by an ancient deity named sleep in his dream. Sleep promised Vessel great things in his life, "glory and magnificence," if he were to follow him reports NME.

Sleep Token songs are considered to be an offering dedicated to the deity, Sleep. The band does not go out of its way to be in interviews and other TV stuff. Rather, it's hard to find any interview of them online if they've given any.

Still, their brand and their popularity are growing and the fans are increasing by the day, which is all thanks to their music and their abilities. Sleep Token has 165K followers on their official Instagram page.

Sleep Token has released two studio albums to date named Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb and the third one is on the way.

Their very first album Sundowning was released on 21 November 2019 under the Spinefarm Records label. The album was made available for fans on several platforms, which included CD, Audio Playback, Music Download, and streaming.
