• Sleep Token is an English rock band formed in London in 2016. Their music ranges from piano ballads to heavy, aggressive breakdowns and even funk, as heard in the viral track "The Summoning."
• The band members maintain anonymity by using pseudonyms. The frontman is known as Vessel, while the other members are referred to by Roman numerals: II (drums), III (bass), and IV (guitar). They perform in masks, robes, and dark makeup, and don't speak on stage, all contributing to their mysterious image.
  
  "Our identities are unimportant. Music is marketed on who is or isn't in a band; it's pushed, prodded and molded into something it isn't," they told Metal Hammer in a rare interview.
• Vessel and II are regarded as the core, full members of Sleep Token because they both perform on the studio recordings and are credited as songwriters. III and IV are considered touring members and do not typically receive songwriting or studio recording credits.
• The band's narrative centers around Vessel, who serves as a conduit for the deity Sleep. Each song is considered an offering to this entity, exploring themes of love, loss, and devotion.
• Their first headline show, at St. Pancras Old Church in London in October 2018, sold out in just 30 seconds.
• The single "Emergence" from their fourth album, Even in Arcadia, became Sleep Token's first to chart on the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100.
