On This Day: July 21 2017

Today we celebrate the release of the collective’s second EP, TWO, back in 2017, a full 7 years ago this day.

Calcutta was the first single released on May 5 2017. Nazareth followed as the second, on June 9 2017.

Jericho’s official audio was posted to YouTube on this day as well.

The label site redirects to their Bandcamp profile now but here is the page announcing the release from the illustrious Web Archive. The date does say July 20 2017 but the official date is listed on Bandcamp as July 21 2017.

If you have the time, this curator wholeheartedly advises you to read the reviews linked in the aforementioned Web Archive link. It is pleasing to see such praise for the collective.

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.
