See Sleep Token drummer II give the first recorded interview by any member of the notoriously anonymous band, chatting about Take Me Back To Eden, performing live, influences and more…
It’s been a big, big week for Sleep Token fans. Following this weekend’s eventful ritual at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, drummer II has given the first-ever recorded video interview by any member of the band.
II meets Drumeo’s Brandon as part of an epic hour-long video, which features some incredible performances of the likes of Vore, Chokehold and 2023 album Take Me Back To Eden’s title-track, as well as conversations about influences, developing drumming parts, performing live and more.
“This is the first recorded video interview that any member of Sleep Token has ever done,” say Drumeo in the video’s caption. “We are honored that II has decided to do this with Drumeo.
“II is a founding member and the drummer for the anonymous band Sleep Token. Join II and Brandon as they discuss the band’s recent album Take Me Back To Eden and the evolution of his drumming style across their three albums. He gives us a unique glimpse into his drumming techniques, how he creates his drum parts with Sleep Token, and vocabulary that defines his drumming style. This is an offering from Drumeo.”
The channel have also successfully managed to keep II’s identity a mystery despite this much more up-close look, with a voice changer respecting the band’s wish for anonymity. Enjoy!
