It has come to this curator’s attention that the message that was recorded at the Heavy Metal Music Awards in 2021 was also mentioned to have been played at the Download Pilot festival earlier in June 2021.
At the time, it was speculated that it might be used as an intro track in the next album that was scheduled for release in September of 2021.
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.
