On This Day: June 19 2020

From June 4 2020 to June 18 2020, the collective posted a series of photos with quotes from songs included on their first album Sundowning. On this day in 2020, they posted a teaser video with a piano track that was the room below version of Blood Sport.

The quotes were as follows:

  • XVI | The light of the sunrise
  • XV | This is a giving, an offering
  • XIV | Forgetting the agony again
  • XIII | Omens in your skies
  • XII | You need a melody
  • XI | Won’t you wait for me
  • X | I just want to give
  • IX | Like fire from the heavens
  • VIII | Show me what you do
  • VII | I am yours tonight
  • VI | As we lie down together
  • V | I can’t win
  • IV | So let’s play
  • III | Even if you won’t believe me
  • II | I’ll only hurt you if you let me
  • I | And the sun begins to fade

Music Release: Nazareth, June 19 2017

On This Day: June 19 2017

Seven years ago this day, Sleep Token released Nazareth as the second single of their EP “Two”. The EP was released in full July 21 2017.

At this time, the only promotional evidence curated is this post on the site formerly known as Twitter, directing to a now deleted Basick Records post.

Nazareth cover image from the single release on Spotify when using this link.

The title on this image appears to be “Nazareth” using the written Arabic language but with each letter reversed. While researching this single, the image above also appears reversed on Discogs and on Spotify. The proper way to write out Nazareth in Arabic is “الناصرة”.

Per this source, this song was produced by George Lever. The writers credited are Vessel I and Vessel II. Vessel is shown as the performer for vocals, guitar, bass, and piano. Drums show II is listed.

Any additional information, or resources, from that time frame regarding this single release is welcome. As is any correction of the aforementioned.
