Data Insight

Take Me Back to Eden is the album that made Sleep Token a phenomenon, written by the anonymous frontman Vessel with drummer II and produced with Carl Bown. It pushes their genre-blending of metal, R&B, and pop to its widest range yet, with no outside writers, and became one of the most-streamed metal albums of its year.

Take Me Back to Eden is the third studio album by Sleep Token, released in May 2023 on Spinefarm / Republic and self-produced by Sleep Token. The album was an extraordinary commercial and critical breakthrough, debuting at number three in the UK and generating enormous streaming numbers that propelled Sleep Token onto mainstream music's radar. The single 'The Summoning,' with its jarring shifts between trap-influenced verses and metal chorus explosions, became a viral phenomenon and demonstrated the band's total command of musical contrast as an emotional weapon. Critics hailed Take Me Back to Eden as a high point in progressive metal, a record that proved heavy music could be simultaneously uncompromising and wildly accessible. The album made Sleep Token the most exciting and discussed heavy band in the world in 2023.
