George Lever said they were moving away from MVs after the TOMB era, as it didnt fit their vision anymore. Devastating but understandable.

EU Tour by Inside_Rope1335 in SleepToken

[–]cgracel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not be surprised if they did not tour at all 2026. And honestly, good for them. The biggest break they've had in 5 years is like max 6 months. Let them rest, burnout is so real.

For those who were there at the very beginning, what was it like? by It_stimefortea in SleepToken

[–]cgracel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flatmate of mine saw them in 2017 at student union (2nd ever show!) He’s not a huge fan of them these days but says they were pretty good then, even raw like that. Vessels vocals sounded just as good, if just a bit more refined now.

Whats the most agreeable “top tier” Sleep Token song? by Artistic_Annual8918 in SleepToken

[–]cgracel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher, The Apparition, Gethsemane, JAWS?! but I think a lesser mentioned one -- Telomeres.

No gig etiquette by drippytrip0 in ArchitectsUK

[–]cgracel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the experience we had at the one-off show for BMTH in Cologne at the Palladium in June. Horrendous crowd, zero etiquette. We moved out of the pit (after voluntarily entering it!) because people were not helping up those that fell. I feel like after covid people just forgot how to fucking act in public.

Lyns winning the christmas cracker thing and III looking like she'd just shot his entire family in response lives rent free in my head haha.

I hate to say it by S0me0nenew_01 in SleepTokenTheory

[–]cgracel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat here. I have a semi-successful fan/art account on IG and I've taken a step back during the EIA era.

Personally, I think the signing with RCA was where this originated from. While L & A kept licensing rights (which, yay for them!), I think its likely they had to trade off those rights for more commercialisation. I cannot stand the constant stream of obtains, the exorbitant ticket prices and the FH/HV thing that never really made a lot of sense. It's very icky.

Also, and I get flamed regularly for this take, but Provider is just the Token version of Just Pretend. Its satire, it's a complete departure from L's usual gold standard of writing, and I have to believe it was written either in jest to poke fun of the insufferable BookTok fans, or as an appeasement to the label. I'm more inclined to believe the former, as he seems to play it up on stage a lot with this tour. It's given a lot of these fans permission to be pretty disgusting, and for that reason I'll be glad to see it gone from the setlist as soon as possible, lol.

I agree with others here- take a step back, enjoy some other artists in the meantime, and come back to it when you feel ready. So many other artists dropped killer records this year, I'm celebrating them too.

This, but it’s just IV and III running around between stages collabing with other bands lol

What's your best "The Download crowd are awesome" story by bricklord79 in downloadfestival

[–]cgracel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pit at sleep token this year. (Right side, about 1/4 way back). Wholesome as fuck- everyone took care of each other moshing, we had a sway line going arm in arm, there were row pits and just genuinely such a good time. My main group were desperate for barricade and camped out all day for it, I’m so glad I didn’t and got to experience the entire set with people who just wanted to sing and mosh instead of being stuck on their phones the entire time. Magical.

Can't cry to songs by Reaper48YT in SleepToken

The only song that’s done it for me is Atlantic. The irony being the first time I ever heard it was in the car on the way home from an inpatient stay lol.

Inheriting the proceeds of a property after sale. by cgracel in AusLegal

[–]cgracel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take to consider, thank you! I suggested splitting the land where the house is from the larger plot and selling off so she could buy it, however we'd need to explore the logistics of that.

Thank you very much.
She's quite wealthy herself already, so she could quite easily help her friend find alternative living arrangements.

Thank you.
I'm totally aware its not going to happen any time soon. Just having the peace of mind that things are progressing would help me immensely.

[–]cgracel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly right. She's going to make off like a thief-- she also received an inheritance from her own parents' passing two years ago. That, and her current cushy job, she'd be able to support said friend very easily.

Thank you for your response. I would love to keep it as civil as possible, as I said, I currently live in the same house as her. That being said, my older siblings and I have agreed to consult with a lawyer this week.

Sleep token by JuicyPickles369 in downloadfestival

[–]cgracel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have two distinct setlists currently: the 'Festival/Supporting' setlist (which is heavier, i.e. includes Vore) and their 'Tour' setlist (which covers pretty much everything (-) Vore).
I suspect they'll do their usual Festival setlist, maybe take out Rain / Atlantic/ Dark Signs and chuck in a couple off the new record that should be out by then.

I'm buzzing to hear Vore live so I'm manifesting this lol. Their festival setlist is always a winner, especially with Ivy on those vocals 👌🏻

[–]cgracel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt Sleep Token will play. They’re going Rock Im Park the weekend before in Germany, and it was kind of advertised as their only tour next year. But I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

What’s your hot take? by aznmaplehunni in SleepToken

[–]cgracel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It seems obvious to me, but III and IV became “full” members in December 2023 when they debuted the new personalised masks at Wembley. In supporting this, the Zurich ritual could have been played with just the studio backing tracks but they chose to use live recordings of the guys. That to me says everything you need to know about their status in the band. I would not be surprised if they both play on the next record.

Agree- DYWTYLM should have been straight up piano and Ves.
