In what’s becoming an intriguing new merchandising asset for the rock music industry and a tried and tested perennial seller for the publishing world, UK independent publisher Rock N’ Roll Colouring recently made available its latest official colouring book as one featuring the work of modern rock act Sleep Token, whose Even In Arcadia album hit the number one slot in both the UK and the USA.
The Sleep Token book follows fast in the footsteps of the company’s third Iron Maiden book, and expands a series that includes Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy and Megadeth among others.
Four albums into their career, Sleep Token headlined the Download Festival in 2025, and were recently nominated for two Grammy Awards. Blending post-rock, metal, pop, soul and electronica there is a continuing mystery about the band as they don’t give interviews and wear masks.
Printed square bound on high-quality paper, the officially endorsed Sleep Token book encourages fans to become involved in a deep creative journey of the imagery offered from their Even In Arcadia album. This involves both what’s become iconic imagery and specially created mandalas.
Rock N’ Roll Colouring was founded by two lifelong rock, heavy metal and colouring book fans, so their intention is to make quality items for similar fans.
The late Ozzy Osbourne was possibly the first person to highlight what became seen as the positive benefits of colouring books, when he made the fact known during The Osbournes TV show. The creative activity has proven significant mental health benefits including mindfulness, relaxation and increased focus that can be enjoyed by all age groups. The Sleep Token Colouring Book can be ordered here, with a limited number available with an exclusive print featuring a colour render of a specially created mandala image taken from the book.
