This might be a hot take, and i dont want to cause any fighting im just giving my personal perspective and hoping i can get some perspective from people who think differently. But i really dont get why people are so convinced knowing their identities will ruin sleep token for fans. Its one thing avoiding their identities because you believe its morally wrong to investigate, thats understandable (though i will say, its concerning seeing people panic from accidentally finding out as if it makes them a bad person. Also dont send death threats or say other horrible things to people who do know). But the idea that knowing theyre just some normal people will ruin the art confuses me. Maybe its just because sleep token isnt my first masked band, but i dont love the band any less just because i know their identities. I still interpret the music however i want, i still enjoy the theatrics, and from what i know as of now about the boys theyre just even more endearing than people think. Even if vessel explained in depth what the music means to him personally, id still interpret it however i want anyways. I cant see how the art would be ruined unless people found out theyre horrible people, in which case wouldnt it be good to know that so you could stop supporting them? Its just weird to me seeing people accidentally find stuff about their real identities and desperately try to trick their brain into forgetting out of fear they wont like sleep token anymore, and id be lying if i said it didnt seem unhealthy imo. I kinda feel like im missing something because i genuinely just do not get it, it feels like saying knowing what an actor looks like off camera ruins the movie. Maybe my brain just works differently or something, genuinely what am i not getting? I understand the moral concerns (to an extent at least, but right now i wont get into all my takes about what is or isnt moral), but i do not understand at all the artistic concerns

Vessel really truly loves and learns. He'd never want anybody in his life targeted for reproach. Take him and his acquaintances at their word that they are really truly working together and don't question words to have different meanings. Please!

Seen a lot of videos about concert etiquette lately and dudes?? This problem is not new. I have a videos from a ritual around over a year ago of I think atlantic(?) and you can’t hear vessel in the video because some girls next to me were screaming the whole time fucking time. (Yes I did tell them to shut the hell up and they stayed relatively quiet for the rest of the show). But like?? SCREAMING during ATLANTIC? Are you nuts?

If you are at a concert, please: stand up, sing, dance. But please do not just scream the entire time. I want to hear the band, not you.

To the anon talking about the other person in the other project: your ask is very deeply irresponsible. There is very little known for certain about what happened between that person and Vessel. Unless more information comes out, we can for the most part only speculate on what their relationship was or currently is. Am i wary of people who might have caused Vessel the pain he talks about in his lyrics? Yes, I am. But the thing is we simply dont know the full story. To be blunt, we cant even know for definitive certain Vessel was never horrible to anyone. Unless we have definitive proof someone did something awful, we need to be cautious about what accusations we make. That person could be a wonderful person whos on good terms with Vessel, but theyve been branded a villian and have been harassed in who even knows what ways. Accusations like yours being made publicly is beyond irresponsible, super deeply uncool to say the least. Its fine to be personally wary just in case, but you should not be making accusations publicly like you are.

I don't know where else to post this. So, on my TikTok FYP, a video popped up talking about a "new" song posted on the YouTube channel of a group Vessel was a part of before ST. There's a very good chance that the other half of that old group is the person who broke his heart. The reason I put new in quotations is I have a feeling that the song was probably recorded before they broke up, and this other person is trying to capitalize on Vessel's fame.

i think people who 3D print masks (specifically that one Vessel mask) for their cosplays could do so, so much better by making the masks themselves or commissioning them handmade. not to devalue the 3D modelers' efforts, but like. is it really so bad to create?

[sleep-token-confessions]

I wonder if they are as silly in private as they are on stage. Like, does Vessel bounce around his home?

Maybe I’m alone in this, but it really bothers me how a lot of people single II out as “the short one.”

I know it’s all supposed to be in good fun and meant with nothing but love, but it still feels a little caricaturizing to hear him constantly be called a “short king” (yes I know it’s from a meme), to see others talk about him like he’s microscopic (“I want to put him in my pocket,” etc.), and to see him drawn as extremely small compared to the rest of the band, even though IV isn’t that much taller than he is.

Again, I know people mean well and are just being silly and affectionate, but it still feels a little targeted and I wish we would lay off of it a bit.

lmfao not to like feed onto this theory subreddit stuff but literally the first thing i saw when looking it up (for different reasons) was "does anybody have any new pics of ii and iv for my folder ://" (using their real names and ALSO iii's and vessel's in the same sentence like?? 😭😭)

it is not safe, you will see people being stalkerish creeps there unfortunately 🙂

[sleep-token-confessions]

anyone else feel like certain sleep token songs would make good striptease music?

[sleep-token-confessions]

For the record the theory subreddit unmasked media is only in relation to their previous projects, discussions and media relating to their personal lives are not allowed there or on the mentioned drive (which is just an organized collection of public photos or recordings related to their previous projects). No need to fear-monger or make it sound like it's a stalker meet-up, it's mostly a space to discuss their previous work if someone is interested.

[sleep-token-confessions]

Be very wary of the sleep token theory reddit if you respect their anonymity. It's full of real names, unmasked pics, they have a google drive full of unmasked pics of the guys and one of the mods simply doesn't understand why people don't want to know who they are behind the masks and doesn't believe that their music can have meaning to someone if that someone doesn't know who they are. There's some good posts but everything else out weights it a lot.
