Sleep Token have launched two new private Instagram accounts, where they have been previewing new music, linking it to the showmehowtodanceforever.com website they activated recently.
There are two accounts – @houseofveridian and @featheredhost – the former with the bio ‘The house must endure’, and the latter’s reading ‘The cycle must end’. The accounts currently have just over 2,000 followers each and have uploaded images of some sheet music – possibly new Sleep Token songs from their upcoming album? Latin phrases have also been discovered hidden within the uploads for the two new accounts, leading fans to theorize as to what it can all mean.
Both the names “House Veridan” and “Feathered Host” were previously shared via the showmehowtodanceforever.com website. Each came with a crest of arms, and the same mottos as on their new Instagram accounts. Above them is a headline stating “CHOOSE YOUR ALLEGIANCE”, and fans can click either crest to sign up for a mailing list – could the British rockers be splitting their fans into factions as part of a world-building album rollout?
Some dedicated fans have quickly read and interpreted the sheet music, posting videos of themselves performing the mysterious songs. MusicRadar’s piano expert/composer Quentin Lachapele shared a video of his playthrough and also gave a summary of it’s musicality.
“The first four bars introduce a theme in A minor, played in the upper register, which evolves into a soft syncopated pattern,” he explains. “This gently passes through F major and leads into D minor, where a repeated A note lingers – almost like a fleeting thought. The theme returns five more times, each with slight variations: sometimes more syncopated, sometimes with longer, more reflective notes.”
“The melody then unfolds into a descending pattern, gently falling and lingering in a suspended moment of stillness. From here, the theme re-emerges, now in the left hand, lower and darker, like a distant echo or a response from the depths.”
As their hungry fanbase anticipates Sleep Token’s new album, the masked metal group have been announced for Louder Than Life fest, alongside names such as Bring Me The Horizon, Avenged Sevenfold, Slayer, Deftones, and more.
They are also set to headline Download 2025 alongside Green Day and Korn – more on that here.
