Sleep Token Announce Online Fan Ritual In Light of Vernal Equinox

Sleep Token

SLEEP TOKEN will today host ritual, embracing the current studio album Sundowning, in the wake of the Spring Equinox on Friday, March 20. 

Mysterious metal band Sleep Token has announced plans to host a digital ritual in celebration of the Spring equinox later today, Friday, March 20. The fan-centric event is scheduled to begin at 3PM EST and continue for an unknown amount of time. Those interested in joining are encouraged to do so by visiting the official event website.

A message posted to the event site reads:

“To join the gathering, all you need is a Spotify free or premium account. For the best playback experience, please ensure the Spotify application is downloaded onto your device, use the ‘Sync’ arrow buttons to synchronise with everyone else. If you do not have a Spotify Premium account, you can still join the experience, but please note that playback may not be synchronised with everyone else.”

A press release for the event states that the band will be using their 2019 album, Sundowning, as part of the ritual. You can stream the record below.

Sleep Token’s decision to host this ritual as a means of embracing their community through the internet is the latest in a series of digital event announcements in music. Since the novel coronavirus forced the touring industry to shut down around the globe, more and more artists are embracing the possibilities of life in the digital age. We are working to create a full list of events, so please follow Haulix on Facebook and Twitter for future updates.
