Sleep Token’s Massive Rise Was No Accident, Label Boss Shares What Caught His Eye Early

Dante Bonutto, the label boss who first signed Sleep Token, explained how he

discovered the band and watched them rise to fame in real time. After hearing their

early independent songs and seeing an early show in London, he immediately knew

they had special talent and a powerful vision. He called Take Me Back to Eden a masterpiece

and was amazed as its streams kept soaring. The album became 2023’s most-streamed

metal record, taking Sleep Token from small clubs to arenas. Bonutto said their

rapid rise was unbelievable and deeply satisfying.
