To y’all’s point about the anonymity causing more attention coming at them. I don’t know if this has already been proposed but I’m pretty sure that’s the imagery trying to be represented by the black flamingo.

I think it’s a metaphor about the band. Like most bands want to stand out, be bright and grab attention.
Sleep Token wants to be unknown and fade into the background. But because everyone else is bright and loud (pink flamingos) the black flamingo, the flamingo that should be the most obscured because it’s not bright, stands out and is a rarity so it’s the one sought out to be photographed the most.

Drew made an excellent point.  Does it slap as much as the first two songs?  No.  Is it bad/boring because it's a stripped down, straight forward rock balled?  Absolutely not.  The lyrics are pure poetry and the instrumentation itself does exactly what it needs to do.

I resonate so much with what Steve is saying about enjoying this anticipation period before the album drops and in a way not wanting that period to end. This is special to me as a relatively new fan too, as it is my first time experiencing sleep token releasing new material in real time.

This song is a 'sit with a whiskey on the rocks and cry' feeling song

Man, a Sleep Token Behind the Scenes Documentary... That would scratch the itch. I'd love to hear what they say to each other before each show. I want to see how crazy III is in real life. I want to see the tracking of II's drumming! And like you guys, I would love to see Vessel being told their numbers and impact.

I know this, I love hanging out with you guys. Looking forward to the honor of buying you all a 🍺🍻🍺 one day and just chopping it up a bit.

It was so cool seeing Camille on the previous episode!

The Apparition is fabulous.  You need to clean your ears out Steve 😂

Man if this isnt even the album closer....... im terrified.

1. Emergence
2. Damocles
3. Caramel
And I just wanna say all 3 of these grew massively on me the more I listened. As some of the “music videos” suggest, I think this album will be a slow burn

The apparition, one of my favourites, definitely a masterpiece.

Hahaha Steve pronouncing Gethsemane (Geth Sim mini) as Geths-enemy. And now they all say it like enemy. Love these guys. Y’all are precious. Hahaha.

For me: 1. Damocles 2. Caramel 3. Emergence

We all need bonus episode with Steve talking like Vessel 😁

The world needs more Steve as Vessel 😂

1: Caramel
2: Emergence
3: Democles

I'm with Metalbirb - these new songs haven't given me goosebumps the way something like Ascensionism gives me. But , they are still great songs - Caramel hit me in the feels and has me crying. I'm holding out hope to hear Vessel unleash his powerful voice on us.

The fandom has a joke: Infinite Baths is how you remove the body paint ;).

Steve’s impression is more Ollie than Vessel 😂🤣

Emergence-Caramel-Damocles - That's my ranking.

First after TimothyPerez and after Drew
