睡眠代币继续登上王位，在英国伦敦的 20,000 人 Cap O2 竞技场上，头条新闻已售罄

昨天（12 月 3 日），Sleep Token 继续登上王位，蒙面另类金属乐队带来了一套售罄的头条新闻

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 继续登上王座，这支蒙面另类金属乐队在英国伦敦可容纳 20,000 人的 O2 体育馆演出，门票全部售罄。

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.

虽然英国媒体称赞昨晚的演出是乐队成为金属/摇滚皇室成员的最新加冕礼，但主唱 Vessel 似乎并没有太大压力。

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.

事实上，在乐队的一次乐器演奏期间，他似乎花了一些时间在舞台一侧的 Nintendo Switch 或 Steam Deck 上帮助乐队的舞台工作人员。

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，器乐间奏为歌手提供了一个喘口气、喝点茶点的窗口，甚至在必要时吸上一口氧气。对于 Tool 等主唱梅纳德·詹姆斯·基南 (Maynard James Keenan) 来说，这些窗口就是恶作剧的好时机。

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.

无论是否是计划好的短剧，Vessel 明显的中盘助攻为这支乐队展示了一个有趣的轻松时刻，他们发现自己面临着越来越大的压力，嗯，升级并提供值得他们炒作和病毒式声誉的引人入胜的体验。

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，也许乐队最大的考验尚未到来，因为明年他们将成为英国年度“下载节”旗舰版的主角。事实证明，这一决定在金属和摇滚界引起了分歧，一些人表达了他们的担忧，认为乐队只是昙花一现，或者尚未赢得荣誉。然而，Sleep Token 在“Download Festival”创始人安迪·科平 (Andy Copping) 中找到了盟友，他在几周前为乐队辩护。
