Sleep Token Hits Platinum With "Take Me Back To Eden"

The U.K.-based masked metal band Sleep Token has reached a significant milestone, earning their first RIAA platinum certification for their 2023 album, "Take Me Back To Eden." This achievement is further amplified by the album's impressive accumulation of over 2 billion streams globally.

"Take Me Back To Eden" now stands as Spinefarm Records' first-ever platinum album, a testament to the band's growing popularity since their debut. Sleep Token's discography includes prior albums like "Sundowning" and "This Place Will Become Your Tomb."

Adding to their accolades, Sleep Token has secured multiple gold singles, including "Dangerous" and "Emergence," and two platinum singles with "Caramel" and "The Summoning." Their 2026 album, "Even In Arcadia," has also achieved gold status.

The band's recent success, particularly with "Take Me Back To Eden," suggests more RIAA platinum certifications are forthcoming, with "Even In Arcadia" expected to follow suit. This rapid ascent is notable in the modern heavy music scene.

Comparatively, it has been years since a metal album achieved such widespread success; Metallica's "Hardwired...To Self-Destruct" in 2016 was the last to reach platinum status quickly. Sleep Token's significant impact in a short period highlights a evolving landscape within heavy music consumption.
