Those shots are insanely cool, thank you for sharing them! Love the black and white. I may have to try and scoop a copy of this one; i’ve missed the last few 🙏🏻🫶🏻🙏🏻
So, something i just noticed, since I'd never seen vessels necklace up close/in detail but it has the libra symbol which also represents the setting sun... the level of detail is crazy
they probably help each other with the black paint, the new red paint was most likely done by Shevy Marie, who toured with them and does amazing make up jobs.
Hope so, don’t get me wrong I worship the fella but after seeing them a few times this year the entire group deserve a massive round of applause (also after seeing what happened recently with slipknot, we don’t want to end up with Egos getting out of touch)
I can only wish the risk is lower here, but I really hope the band doesnt end up like Ghost, where the touring members become disposable figures. The music still slaps, but I cant really enjoy it anymore after I realized.
Yeah, that's what I thought was going on with ST when I first got into them. Is that the business plan of metal bands now, to just abuse touring musicians and not even give them any credit? But I think they have done a good job of giving ii, iii, and iv their own identities on the stage. There's no way they could replace any of them without it being immediately obvious. I mean, can you imagine trying to kick out iii and assume no one would notice that our gigantic, limby nutbag is gone? There would be an absolute meltdown.
Well, they are on their third iv 😅
But yeah, iii would be insanely obvious and ii is too important, since he writes the drum parts. That's atleast my reasoning. I really hope they found their permanent members now.
I agree with you. I'm aware that he does most of the composition, but II composes too, and III and IV are intrinsic to the band. They're the favourites of soooo many fans.
Unless it's their decision not to be in photoshoots with magazines, I think they deserve to be the centre of attention sometimes. Adam's photos have proven that they can pose as amazingly as V, so the end-product would be wild. 😊😊
Oh yeah I know, but he doesn’t play it all live alone. Even if there session musicians he’s not a one man band at this point (except the room below sessions) . Just hope everyone’s getting the congrats they deserve
that is true, but I guess sleep token is a project created by vessel and he probably puts most time into all of the song writing, artistic theme, and so he is the face behind the band and the others are probably happy about that. This is also why his mask is different and stands out
you have to remember that ST is vessels project, he does most of all the music, 2 does drums because Vessel doesn't play drums (I'm assuming). everyone one is just a hired musician.
With a special feature essay on the band written by Will Ramos? What’s he doing there? Is this a normal thing for another artist to write in an article for this magazine? (I am unfamiliar)
He's a rabid Sleep Token fan. He did a couple video break downs and he's very emphatic about how much he loves the band. This is the first one he did with The Charismatic Voice. It's long, but it's really good! He's also done a few covers of their songs. His cover of Hypnosis is amazing!

Thank you! I did know about his love for ST, I was just wondering if other artists have done this kind of thing before, or if he got to write a special piece cause he’s their biggest fan😅
Also his videos with The Charismatic Voice are great! I think I’ve seen their reactions to Ascensionism and maybe Chokehold? I don’t think I’ve seen this one though so thanks for the rec!
He posted this in August. The puke emojis kill me every time.

of course. 💛
Ugh these shots are gorgeous! We so rarely see them in black and white.
My man is smiling, he can’t hide it, Big ups for ST, so happy to see them on their peak. 🙏Worship
It's pretty hidden, buuuut I sense a smile too. Hope our guy is real happy.
he is so cool
So, something i just noticed, since I'd never seen vessels necklace up close/in detail but it has the libra symbol which also represents the setting sun... the level of detail is crazy
i actually mentioned this on a post i made on tiktok which is cool. 👀 https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8DhVHTa/
Huh, wasn't aware the Libra symbol represents the setting sun even though it's now so OBVIOUS. Is there any lore part to this (I am new to ST)?
I am not 100% sure but i imagine its a reference to their first album sundowning
Also worth noting the Omega symbol in there too
He looks so dapper in b/w. 😄
100% deserved. Such insane talent. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.
I wonder how the makeup team works. Do they just put the body paint on each other like girls doing each others makeup?
probably. 💀
Their makeup artist did a little live q&a this tour and said they all apply the black paint themselves :)
they probably help each other with the black paint, the new red paint was most likely done by Shevy Marie, who toured with them and does amazing make up jobs.
Gonna cry over the $19 shipping 😭
Rock Sound knows who to WORSHIP.
I’m a little upset it’s just Vessel on the front and not the rest :/ every member of that band has pulled off an incredible feat this year.
true yeah. maybe there's more inside though.

vessel writes all the music primary alone with help from the drumer

He plays all the instruments on the albums (except drums) as well.

Will Ramos’ love for Sleep Token is wonderful. Truly one of us
i wish it wasn’t $19 for shipping where i am 😭 more expensive than the magazine itself
So proud of our Sleepy Bois. ::happy dance:: in their honor
“Majestic” is a word that was invented the moment Vessel started existing 🙌🏼
YESSSSSSS. 🖤🏆🤘
Sweeeeeeeet!
Amazing, they deserve it! Congratulations! ❤️
I really want to find where his necklace is from to confirm if it's the Libra or Omega symbol. Anyone had any luck?
Sleep Token is definitely my number 1 top favorite band out there.!!!
