On This Day: June 14 2019

So soon after updating the collective’s Facebook, Twitter, and likely Instagram profile photos, they chose to update again on this day in 2019. This time to the iconic, well known and well beloved complete and final sigil/symbol.

While theories and speculation abound, it is not truly known what this sigil stands for, and what runes make up the whole. This curator does have a favorite of those read so far in the archiving journey, and it is the theory linked here.

As always with the intentions of the vessel, it is perhaps another part of knowing Sleep Token and embracing the meanings of the imagery and songs as our own.

Once again should you, fellow follower, have further information, please reach out and educate. As always, it is appreciated.

On This Day: June 13 2019

The start of a new era for Sleep Token as everything was gearing up for the coming release of their first LP. On this day in 2019 Facebook received an updated profile photo.

There was also an updated banner.

While Twitter does not show changes to profile photos unless the user so chooses to share, it can be theorized that these updates also occurred on their other social media platforms, such as Instagram.

To this curator’s knowledge, and those in the circle of researchers and archivists this curator belongs to, this era also began the beautiful pattern of utilizing Andy Ford for the collective’s promotional photography. If you, friend, know differently, please educate by messaging here on this Tumblr, on Instagram, or by email at sleeptokenarchive@gmail.com. It would be much appreciated.

Sleep Token debuted onstage the new mask and epaulette/pauldron created by Hysteria Machine at the Greenfield Festival in Switzerland on June 8 2023. The new mask and pauldron were previously used in May’s promotional material for the release of their new album, Take Me Back To Eden (2023).

Today in 2023 was the first day it made a physical appearance and showed up in concert footage and photography.

Further research has shown that a correction is necessary. The epaulette/pauldron, also created by Hysteria Machine, actually debuted January 17 2023 at the Birmingham ritual. The mask is the only part of the costume/regalia that was new to the stage on June 8 2023.

So ends the 5th month of 2020 for the band on Twitter/X and with everything shut down, rituals have been rescheduled in the wake of the devastation. This day they shared artistic imagery created by presidjent (IG and X) that had originally been posted to Twitter on April 7th of that year.

Forthcoming in the month of June 2020 was the release of the Sundowning Deluxe album.
