Sleep Token Surprise-Release Instrumental Version of ‘Even In Arcadia’
Sleep Token have surprise-released the instrumental version of their latest album, Even In Arcadia. The release follows the massive success of the record, which arrived last May and secured the band their first-ever Number One on both the UK Albums chart and the US Billboard 200.
The London-based masked metal outfit has continued their trend of providing fans with instrumental iterations of their work. While they previously released instrumental versions of 2019’s Sundowning and 2021’s This Place Will Be Your Tomb, they notably opted not to do so for their 2023 breakout record, Take Me Back To Eden.
Even In Arcadia (Instrumental) is available now on all major streaming platforms. For those looking to own a physical copy, the album is scheduled for release on coloured vinyl starting August 7.
The original release of Even In Arcadia was a critical and commercial triumph, earning a glowing five-star review from NME. The album also garnered the band their first two Grammy nominations, with ‘Caramel’ recognized for Best Metal Performance and ‘Emergence’ for Best Rock Performance. Although those specific awards were ultimately claimed by Turnstile and Yungblud respectively, the nominations marked a significant milestone in the group’s career.

Beyond the music, the band’s influence continues to expand. In December, they released a coloring book inspired by the album, featuring 25 designs that celebrate their genre-fluid career. Meanwhile, fans remain vocal about their desire for a full release of the reworked version of ‘Rain’, which gained significant attention after being featured in the trailer for The Game Awards.
