The masked metal band released the song earlier this month as the second preview of their highly-anticipated fourth album, ‘Even In Arcadia’, which is due to arrive on May 9 via RCA (pre-order/pre-save here).

Following on from the lead track ‘Emergence’, Sleep Token’s latest offering landed at Number 10 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart last Friday (April 11). It is currently placed behind Chappell Roan’s ‘The Giver’ (Number Nine) and in front of Alex Warren’s ‘Carry You Home’ (Number 11).

Speaking about Sleep Token entering the top 10, the Official Charts Company described the feat as “a watershed moment for one of the most exciting (and mysterious) rock acts in the country right now”.

‘Emergence’ previously peaked at Number 17 in the UK. This also marked their first-ever top 40 single on these shores.

Clocking in at just under five minutes long, ‘Caramel’ begins with a soft, soothing instrumental melody, before anonymous frontman Vessel starts to explore the theme of identity in the lyrics.
