Sleep Token – Damocles
Sleep Token – Damocles (2025)
Directed by: Unknown
Sleep Token’s “Damocles” is a haunting piano-led ballad that delves into the psychological toll of fame and the fear of losing oneself beneath success. Released on April 25, 2025, as the final single from their upcoming album “Even In Arcadia,” the track draws inspiration from the ancient parable of the Sword of Damocles, symbolizing the constant pressure and looming threats that accompany power and notoriety. The accompanying 3D-animated music video features the band’s CGI flamingo mascot, Jerry, adding a surreal visual layer to the song’s introspective themes.
