Is Sleep Token an AI band?

Sleep Token are an anonymous, masked human rock band from London. None of our AI signals are present. Toward a human act: long release history.

Reported: human band

Sleep Token are an anonymous English rock band formed in London in 2016. The members have never revealed their names and perform in masks and robes, which leads some listeners to ask whether the band is real. They have released four studio albums, most recently Even in Arcadia (2025) on RCA Records, and tour with a live band.
