thank you for clarification. actually, the guy sounded like he knew the names and who was who. the reason why we feel he's at least partially wrong is his words about the most recent collaboration between Silent Planet and Invent Animate, if you know these bands. "maybe 36% of Silent Planet, they joined for money". first, it's much more than 36% (at least if we count Mr. Russell's contribution to lyrics, to make a recognisable yet meaningful hybrid). second, huh, how much money we're wondering, especially how much is paid for friendship and obvious mutual joy (they are not this big to constantly play friends on camera). so i think he was just acting like a typical man.

tfw between the sets of your favourite local metal/posthardcore bands you see a man in the Sundowning era Sleep Token tee, the man is sure he knows you, and you have a band related conversation...

where this man tells you that he read on reddit/forums where people discovered/used ii's name, that all the parts for EIA except piano and vocals had been pre-written by others to match the structure of The Summoning and TMBTE in general, to make it TT popular.

we have doubts vessels one and two wrote everything on their own (big labels, c'mon), but this, ahem. without using names, what can you say, worshippers and archivists?

thought a lot about the amount of plastic in Scary Sweet Drac's outfit. decided it's better to make something alike with fabric entirely.

we've got this sweet, cozy cherry roll though! ^____^

of course, we gave her a bath. the demon horn hairstyle was an accident; we like it anyway!

this bit from the creative process interview stuck out to me too:

"Set in a garden, Emergence animation depict[s] the protagonist, Vessel, undergoing a transformative rebirth and a new existence with Sleep. The background structure is a hidden monolithic palace."

in addition, this is how the glitches are explained:

"A hidden detail appears briefly in each single: the glitch. An instant revealing the ongoing battle between the factions. While most symbols were decoded by the Sleep Token community, the glitch remains a subtle visual code for those who look closer."

anyways. short thoughts

we only see one HV knight fighting a FH creature (and the knight ends up winning so. hm. knight vessel real?

i do wonder what sleep's role is in all this. not too sure if it's 100% just "HV is vessel, FH is sleep"

the two houses do directly "collide" in each visualizer as well

the knight gets more buddies in later visualizers -- going off of the idea that yes, the HV knight is vessel, i feel like it's a metaphor for found support and community

"transformative rebirth" + "new existence" can mean a lot of things... it's a new era For Sure. in the words of euclid, "i must be someone new"

given the meaning/themes of "even in arcadia" i'm inclined to believe that yes, the cycle is broken, but sleep still manages to be present in vessel's life, directly or indirectly. (the idea of sleep being a personification of personal demons/pains).

idk. there's a good amount to unpack here

anyone to draw iv as a kitten under that curtain? we won't make him recognisable, unfortunately, so, anyooone? 🥺🥺🥺

in today's dream, we managed to be at a Sleep Token show without a ticket. how? they hired an additional group of singing units to join Espera, and 🌑 was one of them. the song we took part in doesn't exist on EIA, just in case, but HOLY SHIT 🤪🤪🤪 Of course, reality started to glitch and break, and they got some stuff short circuited in a wall close to the place where 🌑 was standing... nothing fell on any of the band members, Espera or us the additional "girls", thankfully 😅
