“Behold, a new offering” is the tagline with this post. We see Vessel update their Instagram profile picture, and offer us a short clip of album artwork - with vibrant flowers in a garden, and a burning standard. As a band that only started in 2016, they have impressively grown to already take on arenas and headline Download Festival later this year, a feat not to be taken lightly.

They are already pushing boundaries and resetting the “norm” for live shows, incorporating comical elements. For example, their tour at the end of 2024 showed Vessel helping a crew member complete a level of a game on a handheld console, who appears through the stage floor. Was it necessary? Not at all. But did it work? Absolutely.

The 10-track album release has also been complimented with a huge US tour for Sleep Token later in September and October 2025, and a stunning new vinyl.

We’re really excited to see this new chapter unfold for the band, and delve into the narrative behind the album. “Take Me Back To Eden” had so much imagery, tying nature and runes into a lot of their branding and lyricism. This time around, we can’t help but get some Elden Ring vibes. 9th May can’t come soon enough.
