Chris Michaels, WRAL’s weekend morning meteorologist and resident metalhead, has once again sparked curiosity with his latest Instagram post. Known for slipping metal lyrics into his forecasts, Michaels recently shared a cryptic message featuring Sleep Token references, sending fans into speculation mode.
His post simply reads: “Prepare. 3/29” alongside Sleep Token’s official and member-specific Instagram tags, as well as hashtags like #worship and #prepare—both deeply associated with the band’s devoted fanbase.
This wouldn’t be the first time Michaels has incorporated Sleep Token lyrics into his broadcasts. In the past, he seamlessly worked in lines from The Summoning, delighting both metalheads and casual viewers alike. With this new tease, the question is: Is another Sleep Token-infused weather report on the way?
The date 3/29 could signal a planned segment or reference something within Sleep Token’s world. Could Michaels be gearing up for a forecast that subtly weaves in lines from Take Me Back to Eden or Granite? Perhaps something as bold as a full-on themed segment? Fans will have to wait and see.
One thing is certain—Chris Michaels has found a niche that perfectly blends his love for heavy music with meteorology, and his creative takes continue to bring metal into mainstream spaces in a way few could have predicted.
Stay tuned to WRAL this Friday to see if the skies bring more than just rain—maybe a little Sleep Token worship too.
