Sleep Token has released "Damocles" as the final single before their new album, Even in Arcadia, which is scheduled for release on May 9, 2025, via RCA Records. The track delves into the quiet unraveling beneath the surface, capturing the weight of unseen struggle and the haunting echo of former glory.
"Damocles" follows the previously released singles "Emergence" and "Caramel." While "Emergence" and "Caramel" incorporate heavier elements and both achieved the No. 1 position on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, "Damocles" maintains a more mellow tone, emphasizing the emotive vocals of singer Vessel.
Sleep Token's popularity has surged in recent years, leading to a complete sell-out of their upcoming US arena tour in the fall of 2025. In addition to their headlining tour, Sleep Token is scheduled to perform at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky, on September 19, 2025.
