Take Me Back to Eden Tracklist
Take Me Back To Eden is the third studio release from masked British rock band, Sleep Token. This release also follows in the footsteps of 2021’s This Place Will Become Your Tomb.
This album has been proposed as a successor in a trilogy to the bands previous two albums, “Sundowning”, 2019, and “This Place Will Become Your Tomb”, 2021 as stated on the band’s website;
“Take Me Back To Eden’ (an hour-plus of music across 12 distinctive tracks) is Part 3 of a trilogy, a spectacular chapter-closer in the ongoing Sleep Token saga – a saga that kicked off in earnest with debut album, ‘Sundowning’ (2019).”
The albums musically vary quite reasonably in style, though all introduce new and diverse elements within metal as a genre, tying influences from deeply contrasting artists to craft an image of Sleep Tokens' experimental nature. Lyrically, the albums centre around an extended motif of obsession within connection, linking the portrayal of “Worship”, and religious ideology with a longing for purity and escapism.
