克里斯·迈克尔斯（Chris Michaels）是北卡罗来纳州的一名气象学家，以悄悄地将金属参考的人参考到他的预测中而闻名，他似乎已经提高了赌注。

在发布到Instagram的新视频中，Michaels站在天气屏幕前，显示睡眠令牌徽标。剪辑以一个词结尾：“准备”，以及3月29日的日期。

Sleep Token fans are used to cryptic rollouts—but a weather report probably wasn’t on the bingo card.

睡眠代币的粉丝被习惯于隐秘推广，但天气报告可能不在宾果卡上。

Chris Michaels, a North Carolina meteorologist known for quietly slipping metal references into his forecasts, appears to have upped the ante.

In a new video posted to Instagram, Michaels stands in front of a weather screen displaying the Sleep Token logo. The clip ends with one word: “PREPARE,” alongside the date March 29.

It’s not the most conventional marketing move, but this is the Sleep Token we’re talking about. And while Saturday seems like an odd choice for a single release, fans have already connected the dots to the upcoming Emergence 7-inch vinyl. It ships March 31 and includes a mystery track alongside the title song—likely whatever this “PREPARE” teaser is pointing to.

这不是最传统的营销举动，但这是我们正在谈论的睡眠代币。尽管周六似乎是单个发行版的奇怪选择，但粉丝们已经将这些点与即将到来的7英寸乙烯基连接起来。它于3月31日发行，并在标题歌曲旁边包括一首神秘曲目，这真是“准备”预告片所指向的一切。

While there has been no official confirmation from the band yet, the writing is very much on the wall. Sleep Token have always favoured slow-burning teases and layered rollouts, blurring the line between theatre and marketing.

虽然乐队还没有正式确认，但写作却非常多。睡眠代币一直偏爱缓慢燃烧的挑逗和分层的推出，模糊了戏剧和营销之间的界限。

Michaels, for his part, has a history of dropping metal lyric during broadcasts. Usually it’s just song lyrics or quick nods, but aligning a full-blown teaser with a band’s release schedule is next level—even if it’s unofficial. So whether this was sanctioned or just a superfan getting creative, it’s certainly working for my boggled mind and I.

就迈克尔斯而言，迈克尔斯在广播中有丢失金属歌词的历史。通常，这只是歌词或快速点头，但是将一个完整的预告片与乐队的发行时间表结合起来，即使是非正式的。因此，无论这是被批准的还是超级富裕的创造力，它肯定对我的头脑困扰和我有用。

Sleep Token’s next record, Even In Arcadia, drops May 9. The tour behind it is already completely sold out, with no extra dates announced yet. Between the sold-out shows, tight pre-order windows, and now rogue meteorologists, the band’s mystique-first approach continues to hold.

睡眠代币的下一个纪录，即使在阿卡迪亚，也是5月9日的唱片。它背后的旅行已经完全售罄，尚未宣布额外的约会。在售罄的节目，紧密的预订窗户以及现在流氓气象学家之间，乐队的神秘优先态度继续保持不变。

There’s every chance this is just an elaborate fan stunt—or it’s part of something much bigger. Either way, if March 29 brings a new single, don’t say your local weather man didn’t warn you.

这只是一个精心设计的粉丝特技，或者是更大的东西的一部分。无论哪种方式，如果3月29日带来新单曲，请不要说您当地的天气人没有警告您。
