The English rock outfit, known for their enigmatic sound and mesmerizing live performances, have been a staple in the metal scene for over half a decade. However, it wasn't until this year that they achieved mainstream success, with 'Even in Arcadia' catapulting them to No. 1 in several key music economies.
In a stunning turn of events, Sleep Token's first three full-length albums - 'Sundowning', 'Take Me Back to Eden', and 'This Place Will Become Your Tomb' - have re-entered the UK charts, with each one breaking new peaks and earning them multiple No. 1 spots. 'Even in Arcadia' has set a precedent for its brethren, cementing Sleep Token's status as a powerhouse force in rock music.
The band's resurgence is attributed to their devoted fanbase and their carefully curated vinyl reissues, which have reignited interest in their earlier work. The early career win of 'This Place Will Become Your Tomb', originally released in 2021, has now resurfaced on the UK charts, with Sleep Token doubling their number of No. 1 albums.
Sleep Token's debut album 'Sundowning' also witnessed a resurgence, climbing to new heights on various charts. The title song 'This Place Will Become Your Tomb', meanwhile, re-entered four rosters, landing at No. 11 on the vinyl chart and reaching its highest ever position.
The band's momentum is undeniable, with their entire discography now charting on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart. With 'Even in Arcadia' leading the charge and three of its predecessors making significant gains, Sleep Token has solidified their place as one of the most successful metal bands of 2025.
