finally writing about my experience of Sleep token's RCMH show :>

-Everyone was super nice and chatty and handed out trinkets, including blue stickers

-merch lines were genuinley so large that they wrapped around the entire room and then down a floor. some of the security were spooky, but maybe that's just me. The lounges were super nice! bathrooms were really clean and had seat covers, and I believe extra pads and such :>

- Empire state bastard was very cool! loved the bassist and the music even though they did do the classic Fuck Up The Sound Quality So The Main Band Sounds Better. speaking of sound quality, the volume wasn't unreasonably loud and my ears didn't feel weird after!!

- While Sleep Token was setting up, a very nice drum and bass playlist was on, which was honestly kind of calming for me 👍 Also we all cheered when Sam showed up

- during the actual show, I was pretty close to IV's side. He came over to the edge of the stage a couple times to stare people down or smth

-Vessel poking IV with the mic stand

- III teleporting next to II after an intermission and partaking in homosexual activities (kiss) (He jumpscared me) (He's terrifying in person) (I love himb)

- Vessel never really stopped crying after Atlantic I think, which was great btw. Also the lights during Rain were soo pretty. Did I mention lasers yet??

-I recall IV missing a note by like. one fret at some point during a solo and honestly like- me too dude (he was still so good like oh my god dhdbfnf)

-Vess got on his knees during Euclid :< he also played missing limbs on IV's guitar and also did some really fun key changes here and there!!

-II hugged someone!! His solo was great as always :3

- a lot of the audience was crying at the end. they also played I Wanna Dance With Somebody after the show lol

SO

It's been 55 days since Sleep Token and I can't see videos of the tour without bawling. I miss them and I love them. I hit come down the second we got off the tube, Chad caught it. He took one look at my face, turned to Dinah and said 'I think Em is gone'. And I was. Completely and totally utterly I was drained. I've never felt exhaustion like it. I screamed every single word to every single song on that setlist. I roared and cried and beamed with joy. I went through every emotion and all five stages of grief. I've never felt closer to heaven than I did that night. A lot of things have saved me throughout my life. Derren in my teens. Supernatural when I was 18. MCR throughout my life. Paramore and DnD in my mid 20s. And now Sleep Token. Ever since I first heard them it's been a love with an intensity I'd never felt before. Spn came close but these four boys, those beautiful lyrics, the intensity of Vessel's voice, the majesty of II's drumming, III and IV on guitar, the screams...all of it meant everything to me. It healed me when I needed it most. They stitched up wounds I thought would remain bloody and enflamed for the rest of my life. I will not ever recover from hearing the opening notes of TNDNBTG in person. The light show, the goofing around on stage, the power of the words, hearing Ascenscionism and Missing Limbs and Rain and TMBTE and Euclid. Fuck. FUCK it hurts. I've never had post gig heartache like this before. I would crawl on my hands and knees across the globe to experience it again if I had to. Thank you Sleep Token. Thank you for everything.

You're one of the few who I've seen mention Blacklit Canopy on here somewhat recently and I've got to see if I'm tripping or not.

Guitar in Missing Limbs + Patient. Do you hear it too?

Now that I'm listening for it, I definitely agree. There is a striking similarity in the instrumental arrangement in general between the two songs which makes me wonder if this is the reason we didn't get an instrumental version of Missing Limbs.

A Note to Everyone Else

For people who don't know, Blacklit Canopy is Vessel from Sleep Token's old band. Earlier this year, Blacklit Canopy released several previously unreleased singles, probably due to Sleep Token's explosion in popularity with the release of Take Me Back to Eden. While I'm not a fan of Blacklit Canopy (not really my vibe personally), it's very interesting to hear the hints of what Vessel would take and expand on with Sleep Token.

A WARNING

IF VESSEL STAYING MASKED AND ANONYMOUS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, do not listen to Blacklit Canopy on Spotify for Desktop. I'm pretty sure Vessel's name is literally right there. (Censored screencap below the cut) I'm only "pretty sure" because the brief google search I did when Spotify fucking unmasked Vessel on me seemed to confirm it but I noped out of the search screaming when i realized what was happening lmao
