Sleep Token have publicly distanced themselves from an outside music project that is using their name.
In an Instagram Story posted today, the band wrote: "A word, for the sake of clarity. Sleep Token has no affiliation with any outside musical project that invokes this name, nor with anyone who uses it to promote one. Such claims are not made with our blessing and are not endorsed by Sleep Token. What is ours is here, and here alone."
The band did not name the project. Fans have connected the statement to Arcus, a new project billed as coming from one of the "co-creators" of Sleep Token. Fans say the person behind it is someone who worked with the band in its early days, and that neither Vessel nor II is involved.
It is not the first time the band has warned fans about people using its name. In 2023, Sleep Token said individuals were posing as members of the collective to exploit fans.
