“Damocles,” the last single preceding SLEEP TOKEN‘s forthcoming album, Even In Arcadia, has arrived. The album is scheduled for release on May 9 through RCA Records.
The track delves into the quiet unraveling beneath the surface — where grandeur fades and unspoken battles take center stage. With their signature blend of mystique and vulnerability, “Damocles” captures the weight of unseen struggle and the haunting echo of former glory, inviting listeners to confront what lies beneath the mask.
Even In Arcadia is expected to push the boundaries of sound and emotion even further, dissolving into something otherworldly. With their previous single offering from Even In Arcadia, “Emergence”, driving their momentum — having hit the Billboard Hot 100 charts, reached number 1 on the Hot Hard Rock charts, and claimed the top spot on iTunes — the band offers a refined and expansive sonic journey, continuing their exploration of emotional depth and enigmatic narrative.
The band previously said of Even In Arcadia: “This new chapter follows Take Me Back To Eden and continues the unfolding journey, where SLEEP TOKEN further intertwines the boundaries of sound and emotion, dissolving into something otherworldly.”
Marking a significant milestone, the band will launch their inaugural sold-out U.S. arena tour, Even In Arcadia, this fall. The 17-city tour, presented by AEG Presents, will be their sole headline engagement of 2025. Additionally, they are scheduled to perform at the Louder Than Life festival on Friday, September 19th.
