Curious words from Sleep Token vocalist Vessel on his band’s “Emergence” single, considering this is the first “new offering” from their upcoming album, Even In Arcadia. But following the UK mystics’ brief but cryptic promo campaign, we’ve official hit the “the next chapter”, and fans are ready to pore over every word.

As for "Emergence," it finds Sleep Token doubling down on their influences far beyond the rock space. It's over two-and-a-half-minutes before anything remotely rock/metal enters the picture with undulating down-tuned guitar rhythms countering the delicate piano melodies and electronic, beat-backed passages with R&B/rap cadences.

Released this morning, the new single “Emergence” is the first hint at what their newly announced fourth full-length album Even In Arcadia has to offer. Featuring a more hip hop/electronic sound at parts, this new single also finds space to get heavy and loud, as well, giving fans a run of the band’s overarching sound.

The mysterious UK band's fourth album Even in Arcadia is set for release on May 9th. Sleep Token Announce New Album and US Arena Tour, Unveil Single “Emergence”: Stream
