Eight years ago today, Sleep Token released their first EP, titled “ONE”.
The tracklist:
There are two music videos for this EP, Thread the Needle [YT], released on September 8 2016 and Fields of Elation [YT] on November 10 2016
You can still purchase the digital album on their Bandcamp [LINK], which also includes three additional tracks. These tracks are piano versions of the original three and are breathtakingly beautiful.
While not an official single, Fields of Elation from the forthcoming 2016 EP One, was posted to YouTube on this day in 2016. It is one of those rare songs where we are provided with official lyrics.
The daylight recedes
In unison, this room
Buries the hours
Like death, in motion
Nobody else can pull me out
The fields of elation quiet and loamy
Your name is a sin
I breathe, like oxygen
Caught in the careless
Arms, of lust again
Nobody else can pull me out
The fields of elation quiet and loamy
Nobody else can pull me out
The fields of elation quiet and loamy
I’m losing my faith in our lives apart
In the description of the video, there was additional early lore provided.

This being once held great power, bestowing ancient civilisations with the gift of dreams, and the curse of nightmares.
Even today, though faded from prominence, ‘Sleep’ yet lurks in the subconscious minds of man, woman, and child alike. Fragments of beauty, horror, anguish, pain, happiness, joy, anger, disgust, and fear coalesce to create expansive, emotionally textured music that simultaneously embodies the darkest, and the brightest abstract thoughts. He has seen them. He has felt them. He is everywhere.
Sleep Token, led by the perpetually tormented, supremely talented Vessel, creates music that brings to the fore our most submerged thoughts and feelings, coaxing them from the desolate, terrifying caves of our subconscious mind.
On October 8 of 2018, Sleep Token officially released the song “The Way That You Were”. [X]
Come on, tear off the bandage.

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.
