"The Summoning" was the second shot Sleep Token fired ahead of Take Me Back to Eden, landing on 6 January 2023, a day after "Chokehold". "Granite" and "Aqua Regia" followed within the month, and the rapid-fire rollout sent the anonymous English band's numbers through the roof: from under 300,000 monthly Spotify listeners at the start of January to more than 1.58 million by its end.
The album, their third, was recorded at Treehouse Studios with Carl Bown producing in place of George Lever, and Spinefarm released it in May as the closing chapter of a trilogy that began with Sundowning. It went on to become Spotify's most-streamed metal album of 2023. The song's writing credits go to the band, with Leo George Faulkner and Adam Paul Pedder named as writers.
