Sleep Token have released another song.
The UK masked metal cult put out Caramel today (April 4). The single follows last month’s Emergence and will appear on their new album Even In Arcadia, out on May 9 via RCA. Listen below.
Caramel continues Sleep Token’s ‘new era’, which they started teasing at the end of 2023, several months after the release of previous album Take Me Back To Eden.
The four-piece unveiled new masks during a show at the 12,500-capacity Wembley Arena in London that December. Designer Lani Hernandez-David cryptically told Metal Hammer: “There’s definitely a new era coming, but I won’t speak too much on that, because I’m not really clued up on it.”
Since then, Sleep Token have trekked across North America and sold-out multiple arenas across Europe. In February 2024, they signed to RCA (home of Doja Cat, A$AP Rocky, Britney Spears and other pop-culture giants) and announced, “Welcome to the new era.”
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.
Before Emergence was released, teases of new Sleep Token music came thick and fast. On March 7, the band posted a video depicting a black flamingo with the caption, “Prepare for a new offering.” Another video with the same caption followed on Wednesday (March 12).
Sleep Token recently announced a North American tour for September and October. See details of all the band’s upcoming live plans below.
