Sleep Token are back with the new single "Emergence" and they've also dropped news of a new album and tour kicking off what should be a busy 2025.

British metal band Sleep Token have dropped a new single titled "Emergence." The track is the first to arrive this year and it also serves as the lead single from their upcoming fourth studio album, Even in Arcadia.

The album is set to drop on May 9 and it will follow up 2023's critically acclaimed numerology-themed release, An Introduction to Astral Bodies.

Earlier this week, the band teased new music and tour dates with a cryptic video.

"Emergence" initially finds Vessel (the band's vocalist) showcasing his smooth and soulful side of his voice as a piano melody provides a beautifully hypnotically atmospheric backing.

After the opening verse, the song is infused with some electronic elements with more of a hip-hop beat taking over as "Emergence" builds in intensity. Crushing guitars add to the building aggression. The remainder of the song transitions between a push and pull of intimate soulful moments and uplifting anthemic heaviness .... and yes, that's a sax you hear.
