睡眠代幣繼續登上王位，在英國倫敦的 20,000 人 Cap O2 競技場上，頭條新聞已售罄

昨天（12 月 3 日），Sleep Token 繼續登上王位，蒙面另類金屬樂隊帶來了一套售罄的頭條新聞

Sleep Token continued their ascent to the throne yesterday (December 03) as the masked alternative metal band played a sold out headline set at the 20,000 capacity O2 Arena in London, England.

昨天（12 月 3 日），Sleep Token 繼續登上王座，這支蒙面另類金屬樂團在英國倫敦可容納 20,000 人的 O2 體育館演出，門票全部售罄。

While the UK publications are hailing last night’s performance as the band’s latest coronation in becoming certified metal/rock royalty, vocalist Vessel didn’t seem entirely too pressured.

雖然英國媒體稱讚昨晚的演出是樂團成為金屬/搖滾皇室成員的最新加冕禮，但主唱 Vessel 似乎並沒有太大壓力。

In fact, during one of the band’s instrumental interludes, he appeared to be taking some time helping out a member of the band’s stage crew on either a Nintendo Switch or a Steam Deck from the side of the stage.

事實上，在樂團的一次樂器演奏期間，他似乎花了一些時間在舞台一側的 Nintendo Switch 或 Steam Deck 上幫助樂團的舞台工作人員。

Usually, instrumental interludes provide a window for a vocalist to catch their breath, grab some refreshments, or even if necessary, take a hit of oxygen. In the case of Tool, etc. vocalist Maynard James Keenan, those windows serve as an opportune time for pranks.

通常，器樂間奏為歌手提供了一個喘口氣、喝點茶點的窗口，甚至在必要時吸上一口氧氣。對於 Tool 等主唱 Maynard James Keenan 來說，這些窗口就是惡作劇的好時機。

Whether a planned skit or not, Vessel’s apparent mid-set game assist showcased an amusing moment of levity for a band who find themselves under increasing pressure to, ahem, level up and deliver engaging experiences worthy of their hype and viral fame.

無論是否是計劃好的短劇，Vessel 明顯的中盤助攻為這支樂隊展示了一個有趣的輕鬆時刻，他們發現自己面臨著越來越大的壓力，嗯，升級並提供值得他們炒作和病毒式聲譽的引人入勝的體驗。

Perhaps the band’s biggest test is yet to come however, as next year will find them headlining the flagship UK edition of the annual ‘Download Festival’. That decision has proven divisive among the metal and rock community, with some voicing their concerns that the band are merely a flash in the pan or have yet to earn the honour. However, Sleep Token have found an ally in ‘Download Festival’ founder Andy Copping, who came to the band’s defence several weeks ago.

然而，也許樂團最大的考驗尚未到來，因為明年他們將成為英國年度「下載節」旗艦版的主角。事實證明，這一決定在金屬和搖滾界引起了分歧，有些人表達了他們的擔憂，認為樂團只是曇花一現，或者尚未贏得榮譽。然而，Sleep Token 在“Download Festival”創始人安迪·科平 (Andy Copping) 中找到了盟友，他在幾週前為樂隊辯護。
