You get a choice between two “divides”. I then received a follow-up email that “The Cycle Must End” (at least when choosing the Feather crest/option).
Yes, correct, it does go to the webstore. That said, depending on which image you clicked first will trigger a follow-up email a little bit later. Mine was kind of quick but I’ve read others taking a bit. Assuming this will be an interactive album or single rollout. I did dive into the password or “code” that you needed to plug into to get the initial email. It’s a reference to the Shugborough Inscription, which is a cool little rabbit hole/mystery (if anyone cares).
Sometimes FB throws posts at me totally unrelated to what I use it for (yes I still get on there occasionally) and a Sleep Token fan group post pops up talking about something related to Charlie Simpson and Sleep Token? Like, a new band or something?
This pertains to my interests: Charlie Simpson is great Listened to Fightstars albums the other day, as well as his solo stuff. Just found out we share the same birthday too lol
So this might be more appropriate for the Charlie Simpson thread, but apparently it's something around this band called PRESIDENT that got announced for Download festival. @presidentband on IG. Who are PRESIDENT? Mysterious band added to Download… | Kerrang!
only slightly related, but given their overlap with Fightstar (i.e. sharing several members), i'm now realizing how well a GUNSHIP and Sleep Token collaboration would work
Why are people assuming this has something to do with Charlie? Obviously I'd be down for anything new Charlie related.
According to this Reddit thread: "I've been doing a fair bit of digging too. So I managed to find that the building in the clips and images is a property you can hire for film and photography, based in Croydon London. So this is UK based. The copyright for president was applied for on 25 Jan 2025 by komorebi entertainment Ltd. This is a record label set up by Charlie Simpson and his wife Anna. Adamrossi commented on the latest clip on presidents insta, who many have pointed out is sleeptokens photographer. However he also filmed and photographed Busted's most recent tour..."
so other than the photographer and the masked element, what connection does this have to Sleep Token?
I legitimately have no idea, other than potentially the mystery around it had ST fans thinking it had something to do with them? ST fans are the ones digging all this up (something they are used to), but other than that I got nothing.
Quick, someone put a vessel mask on Charlie’s face in front of that string-board-conspiracy-theory meme
I'd love a new heavy Charlie project but I can't see anything being better than Fightstar. Plus it seemed like he had a lot of Busted plans for the year so it'll be interesting to see what this turns out to be.
Honestly, is Charlie Simpson "big" enough to use Download Festival as a promotional tool for a new project? Didn't Busted only perform on the Avalanche Stage last year? I've got my doubts it's Charlie related. Apologies for further derailing the Sleep Token thread.
I would argue Busted performing on the Avalanche stage last year lends credence to the theory, he clearly has an "in". Also this whole thing is giving me Iceman Thesis flashbacks. Who is (was) Iceman Thesis? | Metal Insider
