• AnniehasturThe summoning sounds like it was inspired by the music of the Game "Risk of Rain" mostly the one solo and the overall atmosphere of the song. In the same vein that "past life" is inspired by the fairy fountain
• Laurel Selby from Glasshouse Mountains Qld AustraliaI can safely say a vast majority of musician's pen lyrics that are birthed from their own life experiences, highs and lows, good and bad etc, it is my belief and experience that when their song resonates within a listener it becomes more than music and verse, it is added to ones 'soundtrack of life'. Within these songs listeners may find themselves, forgive themselves, make peace with themselves, finding themselves stirring emotions, finding strength, awaking thoughts or memories long forgotten. Sometimes this alone can be life changing for that person.
  Sleep Token offer their followers a rollercoaster of all of the above with their Trilogy (beginning with Sundowning followed by This place will become your tomb ending with Take Me Back To Eden) where Vessel bares his soul to tell of his journey with a deity called Sleep.
  For me, these songs are so much more.
  Sleep Token have bridged a much needed reconnection to my soul, renewing my belief that there is more to life than my physical self experiences and that I should always remain hopeful even when in times of darkness.
  May sound a little cultist but we like to call it Worship.
  Vessel, II,III,IIII and all that is Sleep Token transcend not only genre's with their music but the age of those who follow and worship them.
  The Summoning shows everything from Vessel's vast singing capabilities to some absolutely solid and top notch instruments played by II, III and IIII, all the while taking the word genre'to a whole new level.
  To anyone that asks I simply say- how long has it been since your heart beat in time with the music and you let yourself go?, Welcome to the journey.
