Sleep Token releases Damocles, the final single from their upcoming album, Even In Arcadia, out May 9 via RCA Records / Sony Music Australia. 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.
As the last preview before the album’s release, Damocles sets the emotional tone for Even In Arcadia—a record that navigates identity, inner eclipse, and transcendence with cinematic intensity. The album is expected to push the boundaries of sound and emotion even further, dissolving into something otherworldly. With momentum driven by previous singles Emergence and Caramel—both of which debuted in the top 40 in the ARIA singles chart and cracked the Billboard Hot 100 and hit No. 1 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart—the band has made history as one of only three artists to replace themselves at the top of the chart since its inception in June 2020. Sleep Token continues to deliver a refined, expansive sonic journey that deepens their exploration of emotional depth and enigmatic storytelling.
In a unique collaboration with Spotify, the official tracklist for Even In Arcadia was recently revealed through a series of intriguing puzzles across various social media platforms. This creative, interactive rollout offered fans an immersive experience as they pieced together the album’s final tracklisting, adding to the anticipation surrounding the record’s release.
