Sleep Token have released another song. The epic Damocles, which mixes pop melodies with an epic, arena-dwarfing chorus, is the follow-up to Caramel, which came out earlier this month.
"The track delves into the quiet unravelling beneath the surface, where grandeur fades and unspoken battles take centre stage," reads a statement from the band's earthly representives. "With their signature blend of mystique and vulnerability, Damocles captures the weight of unseen struggle and the haunting echo of former glory, inviting listeners to confront what lies beneath the mask."
The release is the third from Sleep Token’s ‘new era’, which they began teasing at the end of 2023 – several months after the release of third album Take Me Back To Eden – and officially began with the release of Emergence, the first single from the album, last month.
All three tracks will appear on the masked band's new album Even In Arcadia, which is scheduled for release on May 9 via RCA.
In November, Sleep Token were announced as one of the three headliners of Download festival 2025. The weekender, which has a capacity of up to 100,000, will also be headlined this year by Green Day and Korn. It will take place from June 13 to 15 at Castle Donington in Leicestershire.
Sleep Token also recently announced a North American tour for September and October. Full dates below.
