Behold! My Halloween costume as a member of Sleep Token.

The mask came out way better then I expected, especially for my second attempt lol. Now I just need to worry about sweating to death in the Florida heat. I have a new found respect for the Sleep Token members performing in this warm clothing.

#sleep token #sleep token costume #sleep token mask #sleep token cosplay #i guess im specifically dressed up as II given i got the same coat lol #also i probably dont need to paint myself #its already hot as it is #my skin is already dark so that should be fine lmfao

my thoughts on the new sleep token masks and what's next:

the boys have been hinting at this type of change for a while now, iii's paint slowly turning red and iv and ii taking off their masks at the show just before wembley. I think thr new album will be more metal and overall more heavy, similar to their songs vore and gods.

I don't think these changes are necessarily meant to be seen as a part of the TMBTE cycle, they quite literally said "a new era" on each of their posts, these masks are hinting at and showing us what to expect for the next era. Sleep Token is very deliberate with what they choose to do appearance wise and their lore so although these masks are a very drastic change, it's all part of the plan.

NOW for lore.... TPWBYT and Sundowning were kinda defeat albums, Vessel being at his lowest while TMBTE is a redemption album, Vessel taking control back in his life from Sleep and his insecurities/past faults. that being said- the next album will probably be Sleep fighting Vessel back. I think what's happening is that Sleep takes different forms of Vessels insecurities and past faults so Sleep is using this to their advantage, using the other vessels (ii, iii, and iv) as their puppets. the toxic back and forth cycle between Sleep and Vessel is ending so Sleep is taking the manipulation up a notch. the new masks look very intimidating and it's all deliberate, Sleep is possessing the other vessels and shaping them into Vessels (i) fears as a way to get to Vessel (i), I mean, what would be a better way to get to Vessel if not to use the band as a way to get to him?

people say the masks clash too much and they don't look consistent but I think that's exactly what's supposed to happen. Sleep is using ii, iii and iv as Vessels INDIVIDUAL insecurities. Vessel sees the others and its a mirror of his faults. or maybe they quite literally wanted to look more individual rather than have the same look as one another 🤷‍♀️

the next album will be like a videogame boss fight between Vessel and sleep

some other stuff I noticed and some more theories. do these mean anything? who knows! this is just me rambling:

Vessel has runes written all over his body, I couldn't exactly make out what they say but just going off the fact that it's runes- it can either be 1. a protection barrier from Sleep or 2. another way that Sleep is slowly taking over vessel

it seems like the mouths on the masks are getting wider and wider in order from ii, iv, iii, and then Vessel. while all the others have the band sigil across their eyes, ii is the only one who has it across his mouth. considering ii is the second vessel and Sleep is struggling to control Vessel(i), what if theyre going for ii? using him as the main vessel? he also imo has the most intimidating looking mask out of everyone so...

or maybe iii is gonna get a mic and thats why his mask is open HEHE

my sister pointed this one out- iii had gold on his hands as he was transitioning to the red body paint and as we all know, iii and iv are very touchy on stage, iii always lifting ivs mask up, them kissing, etc etc. now iv has gold on his mask, what if iiis gold paint from his hands transferred to ivs mask? what would this mean? IDK maybe it's another Sleep tactic or we're looking too much into it lmao

iv also has Vessels leg wraps on his arm? what's up with that?

ANYWAYS lmk your thoughts, my mind is going crazy rn and I think people are taking the mask changes at face value rather than thinking about why they look the way they do now and how it fits in the lore

hello and welcome to another episode of me being insufferable about the fact that i made a mask replica (iv edition). not much i can say except that it took a lot of time and effort and i had a blast working with airdry clay again. also i didn't watch the "making of" videos (tho i did get the original creator's blessing to make a replica of my own). we diy like men. hope you enjoy. pictures of it being worn pending.

#sleep token #sleep token art #sleep token iv #sleep token fanart #sleep token worship #sleep token mask #bygone art #bygone beloved #it's a fucking. iv art double whammy idk #i finished this mask a little before i finished the painting but wanted to keep it for later. guess now is later.#the gold parts are gilded instead of just painted yea. the gold leaf isn't actually gold tho. i'm not rich i'm an artist #i'm an artist and i had gold leaf sheets lying around from dicemaking/resin stuff #i just use pre shredded flakes for that now. it's easier. gilding on the other hand.#let this be a lesson on how having ten thousand hobbies at once can be good actually /hj

wait hang on actually i love how ii, iii, and iv have different masks and how much that implies for i guess like...lore?? like their individuality (other than stage antics) is beginning to make a visual appearance. AND on top of the fact that we've been watching vessels mask recede bit by bit over the eras...oh i am insane about this what does this mean for the next era !!!!!!!

#sleep token #sleep token band #sleep token ii #sleep token iii #sleep token iv #sleep token vessel #vessel sleep token #ii sleep token #iii sleep token #iv sleep token #sleep token mask #sleep token lore #i guess it counts as lore?? idk man just thinking aloud here
