This shit put me to sleep. That not bad thing. I needed sleep. But I don’t get Sleep Token. I haven’t read their lyrics, or followed their video progression, but I just don’t get it.
@Ericsaidful don't worry,I listen to mostly death metal, now I am sleep token worshiper.Give it time,read the lyrics,listen to All of their stuff and be open minded.🤷🤘
It's weird, I feel like they do the blues-funk and pop sounds better than the metal bits. With the singles they work, but overall in the album they seemed pushed in
Same. I’m a metal head and I’m very confused why I like their music. I hate how much it sounds like pop, but at the same time it’s dark enough that I like it. His “girl dancing for me” take was spot on for me, too.
@@VeritabIlIti fair thought, but in my experience with the amount of delving I've done with so many different subgenres of metal, all I can say is to trust that it truly feels more natural -- for some people like me, at least -- and in my experience it's probably due to my experiences with music I enjoy and discover to date. I hope you come to enjoy it more! Personally, I should probably listen to it again because I've only listened to the non singles maybe twice, so I can't lie and say I'm a superfan lmao.
@@logantibbets7937 no I getchu, they definitely were blended well thanks in part to the songwriting and superb mixing. But it speaks to the overall writing when one of my favorites is "Aqua Regia" which has minimal guitar presence, partially because it didn't throw in heavy guitars at the end like a few other tracks. When they're on, they are ON. But there were a couple of tracks where the vibe didn't progress as well.
Sleep token is theatrical. I could take my grandmother to see sleep token. Nothing wrong with that either. Theatrical is good and very entertaining. Lots of talent. I place sleep token up there with Trent Reznor. But I would never tell anyone that sleep token is the best. I feel bad omens is better than sleep token. Just my personal opinion. I'd even listen to Ronnie Radke and place him above sleep token. So it's really about a person's personal preference and wether or not they like theatrical music or music that gets the mosh pit or dance floor hoppin. But sleep token produces the feels. Beautifully composed. But not everybody is gonna love sleep token. Musicians will appreciate sleep token more than an average Joe will. Cause they know what went in to composing it.
Sleep token is weird, they keep it metal enough to keep a metal head interested, yet it’s sparse enough that the song sounds like taking a space ship flight through a fairy tale. It’s like hiding a medicine pill in your child’s favourite food.
I wouldn't say Sleep Token is my cup of tea either but the way they've managed to compose, write, and blend a variety of influences really shines through and I have so much respect for it as a musician
For real! I was like "ah. So they've invented pop metalcore...and then they blackened it. What the fuck. Now I too understand why this band is making the rounds!"
I loved that you paused it right before the screaming vocals 😂😂 it definitely caught you off guard for sure. Will Ramos is a huge Sleep Token fan which I find incredible
I agree! I feel like I can’t put them into any one box and that’s why I love their music so much! Def a different vibe and not necessarily for everyone but can bring people in who love all kinds of music
I had almost the opinion when I first heard this band, "not very heavy, not my thing" but after a while they grew on me and now they are my favorite band. I would recommend Vore as it's their heaviest song and what got me to like the band
I have not laughed and genuinely enjoyed a reaction as much as I did this one. Keep them coming Alex, the candid honesty and genuine response is very much appreciated and the world needs more of it.
"Sounds beautiful... and gay... but that's ok" lmaooooo Love that you did a reaction, and to such a song! Granted, I'm a huge STP fan and this is outside of what I normally listen to, but it is suiting for sensuality. You're thinking of Adam Levine from Maroon 5. I haven't looked into it, but I think each member is in their own bands, some of them very well known. Each video from this album has it's own figure like in this one, not sure what they mean. Love that you gave your honest opinion. I also like heavier music usually, but Sleep Token has grown on me. Another I'd suggest is "Vore". Stay safe, brother! Wishing you a safe sky over your head.
my favorite thing is that sleep token is SO FUCKING ADHD with their style, but its also ALL IN ONE FUCKING SONG, and this isn't the only one. They go so back and forth so much in all of their songs. But yeah they go hard, and can go hard, but like, also don't always want to? I just want them to do one single song with a consistent sound to hear how they would do it, because we know they just do whatever the fuck they want with every song.
If you like how they’re ADHD in their style and do genre blends, I highly recommend BTBAM, Fallingwithscissors, Ever Forthright, and Painted in Exile. They do a much better job of achieving the same effect for me
I laughed so many times because of his reaction, he is so different from his music. And the fact that Alex TERRIBLE is scared or creeped out because of the figure in the video says a lot lol but seriously, I love this guy he is hilarious, but you can tell his reaction is very genuine. Keep up the great work Alex!
I absolutely agree with you on your statement about Sleep Token not being a heavy band. They really aren't. Their heaviest song is probably Vore and Vessel can absolutely get dirty with his voice. But the thing to me that makes sleep token so special is the way they are so genre bendy. They flow seamlessly between a number of different genres, often times within one song. Vore is a perfect example of this. Overall, they are much more melodic than heavy. Not that something heavy can't be melodic. But being melodic seems to be more a of a goal of theirs than being heavy.
They r far from seamless bending. And they pick the absolute surface of every genre they mix with. In track ascensionism i waited till rap part end and wanted the beautiful riff. If someone who listen to rap trom 98' waiting when rap part end something is not right and its bad rap. There r also people who done genre mixing better before. Even tik toker Kim Dracula done genre mixing better and he does everything alone. Sleep token is chaos without good skeleton of the track. Love it or hate it. Dont do blind fanboying.
@@youlikefeet you're close to 'youneedtohave180IQtolistentoSleepToken' -levels of gatekeeping. Just enjoy what you enjoy and let other enjoy or dislike whatever they want. Its nice that you compare this band to nirvana and see them as the highest level of modern musicianship, but that's really just your opinion. Don't hate on others who don't share that opinion
For me, Sleep Token was a very slow burn. I didn't care much for it even on the first 10+ listens. I think part of it was from everyone hyping HOW HARD they are when they really aren't. I had a slow day at work where i decided to really dig in and i listened to their full collection of songs. I found their style to be what i would call more "atmospheric" and "experimental". There's only about 3-4 songs they go a little heavy on. Knowing this did give me a different perspective on the band and their music. I like them now, but it only came once i stopped thinking of them as a harder band and comparing them as such.
It basically became a lot of poeples gateway into metal. So for then it's was the heaviest stuff they listened to. For me, it's just chilled as fuck and I listen to it on a long hard day. 👍
I like to think hard is the right word, heavy is probably not. At least they make me hard, it's for sure 🍆 "Maybe it's a little gay, but it's okay" as the greatest say 😎
I love the honesty, and I'd love to see more reactions in the future. Also, while "The Summoning" is popular, it's not particularly heavy. If you want to check out heavier Sleep Token songs, I would suggest "Gods" or "Vore," but generally, their song tend to be atmospheric and more pop adjacent with some heavy elements.
Such a genuine, straight forward reaction without over analyzing and breaking down every few seconds like most reactors. Check out "chokehold" next, and afterwards, Will Ramos's cover of chokehold. I think you'd dig it!
Will's cover of Chokehold is what got me into Sleep Token in the first place. And what got me into Lorna Shore was Charismatic Voice's youtube channel. I went from opera to deathcore to going to my first Lorna Shore concert a month later, to Sleep Token in the span of maybe 3 months. Always loved metal but it took an opera singer to nudge me into harder music and Will Ramos to nudge me into ...whatever Sleep Token is lmao. Talk about music with no boundaries lol.
@@StrangeQuark84 thats a crazy story! You should look into dance gavin dance theyre in the same world but on the entire different side of the spectrum of “heavy” music :)
I had to listen to Sleep Token quite a bit before I fell in love with them. I ended up in heavy traffic and was like ok, let me just listen... and now I cant stop listening to them. Haha Loved this video!
I would say Sleep Token's big thing is being experimental. They try to blend genres together. This song I think hit well and kind of takes you on a journey rather than just being raw energy.
@CrisistentialXS Is it though? If it was "super safe" would so many metal fans be reacting like they are? To me it's way more safe and cookie cutter to turn out generic screamy, riff based metal and that would get more respect from "real" metal fans.
I’m going to NEED Alex to do a cover of one of their songs! 😅 I would love to get Alex’s reaction and thoughts to a song called Anger by the band Left To suffer
I feel like if Alex was to cover one of their songs, it'd definitely have to be "Gods" off their first album. That and "Vore" are probably their heaviest songs as a whole. Left to Suffer got some bangers too
I was fucking amazed what Will did with Demolisher. Subverted every expectation i had for the breakdown except that it would be fucking sick. Can't wait to see him duet with Alex on tour.
“Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” - Vessel I love metal, but I also love many other music genres outside the heavy music realm, such as indie, R&B, jazz, hip hop, soul/neo-soul, house, drum n bass, samba, bossa nova and many others. Keeping an open mind towards music makes me understand Sleep Token a lot more and love their music.
same, what a fucking awesome band. i think alex should listen to some more songs and get a better feeling for them. i took me a little bit of listening but now i absolutely love them
I basically had the exact same reaction when i first heard them. But that mixed confusion lit a curiosity in me, and i kept listening. Now i can't get enough
@@Cryzeeeh I mean it has famously been used as an insult for fucking decades bro. Both my best friends are gay so you won’t get no homophobia from me 😂
I saw Sleep Token live early this year. It really was a new concert experience for me, because it was more of an atmospheric rock experience where you just stand there while you're drowning in music
I’m DYING to see them live! I wanna go at least twice consecutively or as close to that as I can get. Once to just take everything in and once to just lose my shit and be in the moment 🙌🏼
It's great seeing a Russian death metal vocalist give a genuine reaction to Sleep Token. Your English is fantastic too! The beings are other worldly creatures and each song has one. You should see Vore's deity creature. Huge fan of Slaughter to Prevail. Also, Welcome to the USA! Metal heads love Sleep Token. They seem to have broken genre barriers. Vessel's vocals, song writing, instrumentals, music theory knowledge and production skills are borderline genius. Alex, you should do a Sleep Token cover.🤘🏻🖤
They aren’t the first band to do this just the first band that’s got massively popular in modern music. In the same way make them suffer did Lorna shores sound from immortal and after over 10 years ago
I honestly think the thing that draws people on with sleep token isn't so much whether they're heavy or not but more the composition of their songs and how they execute cadance changes, if I want to headbang until my neck snaps I would listen to Slaughter to prevail or Lorna shore, if I want to headbang slightly less I'd listen to parkway drive, but then if I wanna vibe and chill with the occasional sing along and then into head bang that's sleep token, they are making waves cause they don't really follow the normal genre and I think that's why people like them so much
wasn't sure to expect from an Alex Terrible reaction video but it's authentic asf, would love to see more! would also like to see a cover from Alex at some point with his own twist on it.
LOL I like your reaction. I don't understand their videos either, but I AM a Sleep Token fan. I think they got popular because Vessel's voice is so unique with that quick vibrato he has. Also I like the fact that they combine many styles and genres in their songs, one minute it sounds like a rock song, the next minute some atmospheric thing to sleep by, then a pop song, next a heavy breakdown more metal, and then suddenly sounds like R&B. They are really difficult to lump into one category and that is the appeal. Plus the lyrics are not shallow at all.
Their videos aren’t really intended to add anything to the music. It’s just a visual to go along with the music and let the music stand on its own. I think people expect a meaningful video accompaniment nowadays so it catches some people off-guard. My best listening experience with Sleep Token has been in the car running errands or something where I don’t have a specific emotion when I get in the car.
You had me laughing so much when you kept saying “wtf is this guy??”😂Always thought the guy in the music video was creepy! Think it’s supposed to be video game inspired like Dark Souls or Elden Ring character. This was the first Sleep Token song I listened to and I love it! Think they are so good and blending genres/musical styles into one song.
Well he is Russian we have different perception of creepy things. The most hilarious reaction I’ve seen and remember years after is when there was some popular video game that all youtubers played(don’t remember the name), and there was a moment when you enter a creepy apartment building, and every Western youtuber said things about it being creepy, while one Russian guy just went “huh looks like mine, okay what else”.
I remember I read a thing where there was a theory they were 3D renders of various forms their in lore deity "Sleep" takes but I've also heard they're: A) Action figures B)Kitbashed Warhammer 40k minis C) Elden Ring dlc leaked bosses (my personal fav)
"Who is this guy? I don't understand." - Alex Terrible Everyone else: We got no clue just worship. Some tracks are heavy some tracks are light but guaranteed to set the mood just right. 😏
I've been fan of Sleep Token for 3 years now and seeing them go big is one of the best things ever. I love this review from you Alex, I love how honest you are and you made me realize why people may not like them. I can agree that the songs may be extremely jarring with the genre switching from R&B to extreme heavy breakdowns. But I've gotten used to the sound over time and new listeners are 50/50 if they can vibe to it. I would really like to see you react to Orbit Culture, they're heavy and thrashy and got a new album coming so the hype for them is building
You had me cracking up this whole entire video man, love your accent. I've heard of your band before but never really looked into it, I'm gonna check you guys out tomorrow you seem like a really funny, good dude
The way i feel about sleep token is its just that, its a sleep token. its like trance music where you just have to vibe. its not for everyone but you should give the will ramos version of the song chokehold a chance.
Love this reaction. Totally okay that it's not your preferred style of music, but you can appreciate that it's still good. They're definitely not a heavy band, but their composition, lyrics, vocals, and tendency to flip between genres is awesome. Kudos for giving a very real reaction!
Hey, if Will Ramos can cover Sleep Token then so can you! They have some heavier tracks for sure but mostly in the older tracks. Great reaction and can't wait for more!
It almost seems like its gonna grow on him. The whole album is all over the place, musically. Rap, pop, metal, rock. Its just a conglomerate of music really.
We need more reactions to music for sure. Love the honesty and the comments that are 100% cancelable. MORE PLEASE Edit: Love to see a reaction for any of Avenged Sevenfold's new stuff or Falling in Reverse if you haven't already listened to it.
This was the best reaction video I have ever seen, you had me dying laughing so many times. And I agree with you 100% on the song and everyone's hype about the band.
Ive never heard Sleep Token before now, they sound like a heavier Ghost. Not that thats a bad thing but its not got those harsh vocals my brain wants. That said, the vocalist has an amazing voice and the musicians are fuckin 🤘 Congrats on the million subs!!!
This is pretty awesome to see Alex reacting to other music! Alex, I think for your next Sleep Token experience, you should check out their song Vore for that heavy you were looking for.
Never listened to sleep token before this album, nor have I ever been a fan of genre mixing the way they do. My first reaction a couple weeks ago was identical to this, I was like hmm this isn't my usual cup of tea but I actually don't hate this. Wasn't blown away either but then I could not get the songs out of my head until I listened to the album again the next day. Fast forward to now and I've listened to the entire album start to finish at least once a day since the first listen. Every single song just gets stuck. This album is awesome, the guitar tones are great, the vocals are very good, the lyrics resonate with me quite well when they usually wouldn't. My only criticism would be that the drums' kick and snare have that annoying overproduced sampling that's so common in modern heavier music. 10/10
What did you think about the previous two albums? I don't know if you know already, but the last song on this album is a throwback to the very first song of this album trilogy. In the first song he sings: the night does not belong to us. In the last song the lyrics change: the night belongs to *you*.
@rickvanpol3833 i started this place will become your tomb the other day but i only had time for the first couple songs. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood but they didn't seem to hook me like the newest album. I think I'll start from the first album next time i listen to them and formulate an opinion from there
@@arturborkowski3832 what you’re saying is contradictory. If you don’t like these bands that are for “everyone”, then they’re not for everyone. You aren’t alone, Sleep Token and Ghost have plenty of haters, particularly from fans of metal, because the reality is that neither band is really metaI. I like them both but also acknowledge they both are over the top and goofy at times. It doesn’t bother me personally because I don’t need to take music seriously to enjoy it. But I get why people find them annoying.
'Vore' has to be in my top songs for the year, its so good. Sleep token had to had time to get used to for me, i didnt get it at first, but i just kept playing their songs at repeat because its so bizzare and i never heard anything quite like that. With time i got it. I didn't like the summoning at first but i genuinely really enjoy it now.
They are a slow burn band. I like to say I "hate listened" to them at first. I couldn't decide if I liked them or not or if I thought they were any good but I couldn't stop listening to figure it out and now I'm obsessed. And yes, Vore is one of my top songs from them as well.
For me, it was a "why do i keep hearing about this band?" So I avoided for a while as sometimes I have a tiny bit of a hipster streak. Then I heard Nazareth, Offering and Higher... that was all it took me to worship.
Sleep Token is that band you can play around your friends and family. STP is that raw energy you listen to alone and face fucks you with aggression. Love both bands. Both are easily in my top 3 favorite bands. Nothing beats a 1am drive blasting 666, Agony, and Chronic Slaughter through your subwoofers.
They definitely give me more of a dream theater vibe. Vore is a pretty good song by them though, a little heavier. my pandora station is built on slaughter to prevail, gojira, and lacuna coil and it popped up a few days ago on my way to work. Love what you do man 🤘
Слип токен просто делают очень изобретательные и "артовые" песни, со своей уникальной атмосферой. Выстрелили они как раз с этого сингла, так как он более понятен для широкой аудитории. Поэтому люди начали выкупать их звук. Когда я первый раз послушал их года четыре назад, моя первая реакция была такая же. Но прошлой осенью я решил послушать полностью их альбомы и теперь это одна из моих любимых групп.
Слип токен просто растет на вас. Я был таким же. Я мог слушать только несколько песен в течение короткого времени. Теперь я могу потеряться в целых альбомах.
помню я послушал тоже эту песню пару раз несколько месяцев назад, мне вроде сначала зашло, я подумал что-то типо рока будет как ghost, но как дропнули альбом я просто охуел и вкатился. в особенности с заглавной песни с альбома
Great reaction, and i appreciate how honest and genuine your reaction is! Oceans of slumber- a return to the earth below. Amazing doom metal song, and cammie has one of the best singing voices in the genre.
I didn't realize how much I needed this. Thank you Alex for being so genuine! Looking forward to the band's next visit to FL! Edit* If you're still interested in heavy songs from them with harsh vocals give "Vore" and "Gods" a try. For future reactions it would be awesome to check out Humanity's Last Breath.
This is definitely my absolute favorite reaction to this song on the entire RUclips, I just love how geuien and straightforward it is and you just made my day 😁❤. You should definitely do more reaction videos. I recommend Electric Callboy if you haven't heard them, they are like metal but fun and I would love to know what you think of them 😅, "Hypa Hypa", "We got the moves", "Pump it", "Tekkno Train" all great songs. Also I just love it how you started to move to the rhythm of the song at the end, that part is so groovy.
What a chaotic video and song to listen to. I feel like my brain was just exploding in confusion, it truly was a journey and Alex's reaction was just priceless and facts.
I love sleep token I come from the heaviest music but I’m a musician and sleep token is like tool ina sense they both are elite at the way they do their music to me
Genuinely thrilling to see my favorite metal vocalists reacting or making covers to Sleep Token songs. Sleep Token has always been, and will likely remain a chaotic mash of whatever kind of genres and tones they want to put into their individual songs, and each track on the album has a lot of unique flair. If you want something a tad heavier, albeit not as heavy as you'd probably like, Vore is probably the heaviest on this particular album, and also a super good song. I'm looking forward to more reactions from you!
I think it’s the chaos that draws me too it! I usually listen to heavier music but there is something about them and their new album that I love and it has helped me thru some dark times. Can’t wait for September will be seeing you guys and Sleep Token among many others at Blue Ridge! Come jam out and have some fun with us during their set!
Love to see a metal vocalist react to other metal bands. I know Will Ramos of Lorna Shore has done a few semi-reviews of other bands. Just amazing to see. Loved to see your reaction on Lorna Shore, or even Thy Art Is Murder!
Alex, you should check out the band Slaughter to Prevail. They kick ass and the lead singer is phenomenal
Ummmm this is a joke right?

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Or that he doesn't use the space bar to pause/play 😂
and hes really digging the last part
The thing I appreciate the most about this video is that you can tell that this is a genuine reaction.
Alex is pretty wholesome. He's not interested in industry bullshit, he just loves music
most russian shit ive seen and its amazing
Yeah!
Which is exactly why it would be awesome and pretty helpful for newer metal bands if he would continue doing these.
Agree!

love the fact that Alex paused to talk about clean vocals right before the breakdown and when he heard the vocals he was like "Oh, okay"
My reaction was exactly the same listening to this song the first time too 😂😂
I'm yelling at the screen "WHAT NOW"
😂😂
This shit put me to sleep. That not bad thing. I needed sleep. But I don’t get Sleep Token. I haven’t read their lyrics, or followed their video progression, but I just don’t get it.

Agreed, it's a perspective we don't get a lot of👍
Watch Nik Nocturnal! He’s a very good metal vocalist and he’s great at reacting!
Will Ramos of Lorna Shore does a bit of reacting!
Watch Kardashev Academy, he breaks down how vocal techniques and interviews the vocals from time to time.
Same bruh🔥
Even more impressive when you realize that Vessel wrote all of the guitars, bass, piano, and vocals. It’s genius
II was only drums? 😮
Yup. Like Filter or Foo Fighters. He's willed it into existence.
Sleep token is theatrical. I could take my grandmother to see sleep token. Nothing wrong with that either. Theatrical is good and very entertaining. Lots of talent. I place sleep token up there with Trent Reznor. But I would never tell anyone that sleep token is the best. I feel bad omens is better than sleep token. Just my personal opinion. I'd even listen to Ronnie Radke and place him above sleep token. So it's really about a person's personal preference and wether or not they like theatrical music or music that gets the mosh pit or dance floor hoppin.
But sleep token produces the feels. Beautifully composed. But not everybody is gonna love sleep token. Musicians will appreciate sleep token more than an average Joe will. Cause they know what went in to composing it.

Sleep token is weird, they keep it metal enough to keep a metal head interested, yet it’s sparse enough that the song sounds like taking a space ship flight through a fairy tale. It’s like hiding a medicine pill in your child’s favourite food.
That’s a great way to put it
I very like this analogy 🤘
that's a great analogy

Alex comparing Vessel to Maynard was probably the best compliment that Sleep Token could get
who tf is vessel

Like Maynard and post Malone did a fusion dance.
he didnt said that he said that Maynard is the closest to clean vocal done right in metal.

Just a dude who wants to have fun wrestling a bear

BUT STILL VERY RUSSIAN! HAHA
Met him at a Tampa show. He's extremely friendly and soft-spoken. It was surprising.
Scary??? The dude is handsome af
“The black guy.. In the white neighborhood.” Took me out. Loved this reaction so much.
RACIST!!! RACIST!!!🤣😂🤣
That killed me dude
His dead pan Russian sense of humor absolutely slays me every time. Like he’s serious but you know he isn’t.
the fact that he can be truly himself makes the joke so grade, alex is such a kinded heart guy@@nokiot9
Bro and also “and also gay” lmaooooo the Russian sense of humor, and the downright not giving a shit. Gold
I wouldn't say Sleep Token is my cup of tea either but the way they've managed to compose, write, and blend a variety of influences really shines through and I have so much respect for it as a musician
Agreed. Their production is insane
See, this is the way the world is supposed to be. You can have respect and not be your thing. Thanks for this!
For real! I was like "ah. So they've invented pop metalcore...and then they blackened it. What the fuck. Now I too understand why this band is making the rounds!"
So, you need play Amaestra. Crazy mix of styles)
@@lumsend THIS SHIT NICE
I loved that you paused it right before the screaming vocals 😂😂 it definitely caught you off guard for sure. Will Ramos is a huge Sleep Token fan which I find incredible
My feeling about Sleep token is that they are not heavy nor are they soft, they are sleep token :) their music is an experience.
I agree! I feel like I can’t put them into any one box and that’s why I love their music so much! Def a different vibe and not necessarily for everyone but can bring people in who love all kinds of music
Probably the best way to describe them honestly, I go to bed every night with a headache from trying to give them a genre lol
Agreed.... But this is also how I describe my all time favourite band Tool
They are this generations tool in my opinion.
Absolutely agree in that. Especially this song.
Bruh, the commentary. I need more reactions from Alex.
Awesome to see Alex basically paying his respects to the artist on their song even though it’s not his cup of tea. That’s as real as it gets. 👍🏼👍🏼
I had almost the opinion when I first heard this band, "not very heavy, not my thing" but after a while they grew on me and now they are my favorite band. I would recommend Vore as it's their heaviest song and what got me to like the band
Absolutely the exact same!
Alex implying that vessel might be Adam Levine has me dying lol
“moves like a jaguar” 😭😭
I love the alternate universe where Adam Levine wants to be hardcore but simply cannot, so he became Vessel and covers his face to hide that shame😂😂😂
I have not laughed and genuinely enjoyed a reaction as much as I did this one. Keep them coming Alex, the candid honesty and genuine response is very much appreciated and the world needs more of it.
Yes.
"Sounds beautiful... and gay... but that's ok" lmaooooo
Love that you did a reaction, and to such a song! Granted, I'm a huge STP fan and this is outside of what I normally listen to, but it is suiting for sensuality.
You're thinking of Adam Levine from Maroon 5. I haven't looked into it, but I think each member is in their own bands, some of them very well known.
Each video from this album has it's own figure like in this one, not sure what they mean.
Love that you gave your honest opinion. I also like heavier music usually, but Sleep Token has grown on me.
Another I'd suggest is "Vore".
Stay safe, brother! Wishing you a safe sky over your head.
my favorite thing is that sleep token is SO FUCKING ADHD with their style, but its also ALL IN ONE FUCKING SONG, and this isn't the only one. They go so back and forth so much in all of their songs. But yeah they go hard, and can go hard, but like, also don't always want to? I just want them to do one single song with a consistent sound to hear how they would do it, because we know they just do whatever the fuck they want with every song.
Take me back to Eden is a journey in itself
If you like how they’re ADHD in their style and do genre blends, I highly recommend BTBAM, Fallingwithscissors, Ever Forthright, and Painted in Exile. They do a much better job of achieving the same effect for me
@@uranium54321check out igorrr. Its absolutely insane stuff. Breakcore, metal, opera, baroque music, folk music, jazz… dude has it all.
I wish he picked a different song to review. They really are a good band.
I laughed so many times because of his reaction, he is so different from his music. And the fact that Alex TERRIBLE is scared or creeped out because of the figure in the video says a lot lol but seriously, I love this guy he is hilarious, but you can tell his reaction is very genuine. Keep up the great work Alex!
Dude, I've thought the exactly same thing. HAHAHAHAHA
I love it! Lol metal heads are literally the most wonderful people and biggest teddy bears I know! 🤘🏼
The fact he watches RUclips in Light mode just confirms he's unhinged. < 3
I absolutely agree with you on your statement about Sleep Token not being a heavy band. They really aren't. Their heaviest song is probably Vore and Vessel can absolutely get dirty with his voice. But the thing to me that makes sleep token so special is the way they are so genre bendy. They flow seamlessly between a number of different genres, often times within one song. Vore is a perfect example of this. Overall, they are much more melodic than heavy. Not that something heavy can't be melodic. But being melodic seems to be more a of a goal of theirs than being heavy.
If I want to listen to a band that does genre bending, I'd rather listen to something like Zeal&Ardor or prog.
@@Avliv_Satan Cool story bro.
They r far from seamless bending.
And they pick the absolute surface of every genre they mix with.
In track ascensionism i waited till rap part end and wanted the beautiful riff. If someone who listen to rap trom 98' waiting when rap part end something is not right and its bad rap.
There r also people who done genre mixing better before.
Even tik toker Kim Dracula done genre mixing better and he does everything alone. Sleep token is chaos without good skeleton of the track.
Love it or hate it. Dont do blind fanboying.
@@youlikefeet you're close to 'youneedtohave180IQtolistentoSleepToken' -levels of gatekeeping.
Just enjoy what you enjoy and let other enjoy or dislike whatever they want.
Its nice that you compare this band to nirvana and see them as the highest level of modern musicianship, but that's really just your opinion. Don't hate on others who don't share that opinion
@Novice Music Enthusiast good thing you're a novice enthusiast, because Sleep Token is just as much trash as nirvana
For me, Sleep Token was a very slow burn. I didn't care much for it even on the first 10+ listens. I think part of it was from everyone hyping HOW HARD they are when they really aren't. I had a slow day at work where i decided to really dig in and i listened to their full collection of songs. I found their style to be what i would call more "atmospheric" and "experimental". There's only about 3-4 songs they go a little heavy on. Knowing this did give me a different perspective on the band and their music. I like them now, but it only came once i stopped thinking of them as a harder band and comparing them as such.
I think Sleep Token is listened to by a lot of people who aren't super into metal, so maybe that's why a lot of people say that. but idk \_(:/)_/
It basically became a lot of poeples gateway into metal. So for then it's was the heaviest stuff they listened to.
For me, it's just chilled as fuck and I listen to it on a long hard day. 👍
I like to think hard is the right word, heavy is probably not. At least they make me hard, it's for sure 🍆 "Maybe it's a little gay, but it's okay" as the greatest say 😎
I love the honesty, and I'd love to see more reactions in the future. Also, while "The Summoning" is popular, it's not particularly heavy. If you want to check out heavier Sleep Token songs, I would suggest "Gods" or "Vore," but generally, their song tend to be atmospheric and more pop adjacent with some heavy elements.
Not gonna lie, I openly cracked up at “Move like a Jagger”. Well played, Alex. Well played.
You know that song... I move like a jagger? 💀 Killed me
Such a genuine, straight forward reaction without over analyzing and breaking down every few seconds like most reactors. Check out "chokehold" next, and afterwards, Will Ramos's cover of chokehold. I think you'd dig it!
I agree with Kirk here!
Will's cover of Chokehold is what got me into Sleep Token in the first place. And what got me into Lorna Shore was Charismatic Voice's youtube channel. I went from opera to deathcore to going to my first Lorna Shore concert a month later, to Sleep Token in the span of maybe 3 months. Always loved metal but it took an opera singer to nudge me into harder music and Will Ramos to nudge me into ...whatever Sleep Token is lmao. Talk about music with no boundaries lol.
@@StrangeQuark84 thats a crazy story! You should look into dance gavin dance theyre in the same world but on the entire different side of the spectrum of “heavy” music :)
@@ace-vi9085 I love dance Gavin dance 😤
I had to listen to Sleep Token quite a bit before I fell in love with them. I ended up in heavy traffic and was like ok, let me just listen... and now I cant stop listening to them. Haha Loved this video!
I absolutely love Alex. He seems like he'd be a blast to hangout with. He's hilarious.
"He look like Transformer with a cat face.." I just got a look from my boss for laughing so loudly 😂 and I want TRUTH Alex, always give us the truth!
... from Egypt
Fuck your boss, just laugh and enjoy life.
Great reaction video. I like that you actually express your thoughts and talk. That's how this type of content should be done.
Alexs description of the what the "pop" section does to you is accurate af. "Some lady stripping" just that euphoric feeling really does hit.
When he refers to Move like Jagger, I'm pretty sure he actually means Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Pharrell
Going through really a tough time right now and this video made me laugh out loud for the first time in a while. Much love man 🫶
Hang in there my dude. Keep your chin up 😊
@@degeneratechris Taking it one day at a time 🙏
Jesus loves u
Fucking same
@@SimeonPeletier yikes
I would say Sleep Token's big thing is being experimental. They try to blend genres together. This song I think hit well and kind of takes you on a journey rather than just being raw energy.
This. I agree. But I think throwing some growls in or something?!?
seems like boring cookie cutter stuff to me. super safe and just watering down metal to make it more mainstream.
@CrisistentialXS Is it though? If it was "super safe" would so many metal fans be reacting like they are?
To me it's way more safe and cookie cutter to turn out generic screamy, riff based metal and that would get more respect from "real" metal fans.
You've just described progressive rock and metal
@@clatch4d639yes, you can listen to opeth instead
I’m going to NEED Alex to do a cover of one of their songs! 😅 I would love to get Alex’s reaction and thoughts to a song called Anger by the band Left To suffer
I feel like if Alex was to cover one of their songs, it'd definitely have to be "Gods" off their first album. That and "Vore" are probably their heaviest songs as a whole. Left to Suffer got some bangers too
@@yourblackhalf good suggestions, I would prefer Gods over Vore personally. I’ve always wanted Alex and Taylor to do a song together.
Left to suffer is SO GOOD
you know what really funny if he does cover of sleep token and we have Vessel do a react video lol and he doesn't say anything and its just subtitles
What about Alex reacting to a Will Ramos Sleep Token cover 🤯🤯🤯😂
You should do a vocal cover of this song. Like Will Ramos did of some of their other songs. You'd kill it. Bring the Terrible to the Token.
Can Alex do cleans?
@@Hijynx87yes, he does in parts of the chorus on “your only” sounds pretty good
Terrible Token? Sleep Terrible(y) 😂
I was fucking amazed what Will did with Demolisher. Subverted every expectation i had for the breakdown except that it would be fucking sick. Can't wait to see him duet with Alex on tour.
“Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” - Vessel
I love metal, but I also love many other music genres outside the heavy music realm, such as indie, R&B, jazz, hip hop, soul/neo-soul, house, drum n bass, samba, bossa nova and many others.
Keeping an open mind towards music makes me understand Sleep Token a lot more and love their music.
Yooo this bruh
I never knew I needed an Alex reaction video as badly as I did. This was great!!!!
My thoughts exactly. So many funny moments. Alex is such a genuine dude.
I'm OBSESSED with this band. Mostly Vessels lyrical talent and vocals. PLEASE cover one of their songs 😂
i don't doubt he can crush vore
Aye a Alex Terrible cover of Sleep Token be funny and awesome
@@razvantudor4357 crush WHAT?
same, what a fucking awesome band. i think alex should listen to some more songs and get a better feeling for them. i took me a little bit of listening but now i absolutely love them
@@Brooyah the song ?
I basically had the exact same reaction when i first heard them. But that mixed confusion lit a curiosity in me, and i kept listening. Now i can't get enough
Love how Alex goes from “it’s gay” to “I love these vocals” ahahah
Because gay is nothing negative bro wtf
@@Cryzeeeh I mean it has famously been used as an insult for fucking decades bro.

I saw Sleep Token live early this year. It really was a new concert experience for me, because it was more of an atmospheric rock experience where you just stand there while you're drowning in music
First concert I’ve been to where I just wanted to stand back and take everything in
I’m DYING to see them live! I wanna go at least twice consecutively or as close to that as I can get. Once to just take everything in and once to just lose my shit and be in the moment 🙌🏼
I saw them last week in Berlin. Amazing!
It's great seeing a Russian death metal vocalist give a genuine reaction to Sleep Token. Your English is fantastic too! The beings are other worldly creatures and each song has one. You should see Vore's deity creature. Huge fan of Slaughter to Prevail. Also, Welcome to the USA! Metal heads love Sleep Token. They seem to have broken genre barriers. Vessel's vocals, song writing, instrumentals, music theory knowledge and production skills are borderline genius. Alex, you should do a Sleep Token cover.🤘🏻🖤
He is more like deathcore than death metal
They aren’t the first band to do this just the first band that’s got massively popular in modern music.
In the same way make them suffer did Lorna shores sound from immortal and after over 10 years ago
Sleep Token is the only band that can put 3, 5, 10 genre's in one song and make it work.

@@bigxpapaxpump7553 fucking true now Spiritbox

Berried Alive...enough said
I honestly think the thing that draws people on with sleep token isn't so much whether they're heavy or not but more the composition of their songs and how they execute cadance changes, if I want to headbang until my neck snaps I would listen to Slaughter to prevail or Lorna shore, if I want to headbang slightly less I'd listen to parkway drive, but then if I wanna vibe and chill with the occasional sing along and then into head bang that's sleep token, they are making waves cause they don't really follow the normal genre and I think that's why people like them so much
wasn't sure to expect from an Alex Terrible reaction video but it's authentic asf, would love to see more! would also like to see a cover from Alex at some point with his own twist on it.
I'd love to see him and Will react to Sleep Token together...2 completely different energies 😂
Will Ramos covered Choke Hold and it's perfect! if that's the Will you're referring to
@@watsonrlz That's exactly who I mean and I love that cover!!! I'd love to see the both of them do a reaction video though
@@watsonrlz Or even better....both of them do a song together
Be the Labrador and the bear reacting lol
That’s because you gulped the algorithm right down your belly
LOL I like your reaction. I don't understand their videos either, but I AM a Sleep Token fan. I think they got popular because Vessel's voice is so unique with that quick vibrato he has. Also I like the fact that they combine many styles and genres in their songs, one minute it sounds like a rock song, the next minute some atmospheric thing to sleep by, then a pop song, next a heavy breakdown more metal, and then suddenly sounds like R&B. They are really difficult to lump into one category and that is the appeal. Plus the lyrics are not shallow at all.
Their videos aren’t really intended to add anything to the music. It’s just a visual to go along with the music and let the music stand on its own. I think people expect a meaningful video accompaniment nowadays so it catches some people off-guard.
My best listening experience with Sleep Token has been in the car running errands or something where I don’t have a specific emotion when I get in the car.
Well, Sleep Token isn't a heavy band per se, but they are BRUTAL when they want to be, like in Gods and Vore.
I agree
Brutally generic
@@mutatednut well, these are supposed to be the "heavy" songs. The "creative" ones are others
@@leovc97 They don't have any creative songs imo. They blend the most generic parts of all the genres they use.

Never thought I needed reactions from Alex but now I need more.
You had me laughing so much when you kept saying “wtf is this guy??”😂Always thought the guy in the music video was creepy! Think it’s supposed to be video game inspired like Dark Souls or Elden Ring character. This was the first Sleep Token song I listened to and I love it! Think they are so good and blending genres/musical styles into one song.
Well he is Russian we have different perception of creepy things. The most hilarious reaction I’ve seen and remember years after is when there was some popular video game that all youtubers played(don’t remember the name), and there was a moment when you enter a creepy apartment building, and every Western youtuber said things about it being creepy, while one Russian guy just went “huh looks like mine, okay what else”.
it's more inspired by warhammer 40k

I've been fan of Sleep Token for 3 years now and seeing them go big is one of the best things ever.
I love this review from you Alex, I love how honest you are and you made me realize why people may not like them. I can agree that the songs may be extremely jarring with the genre switching from R&B to extreme heavy breakdowns. But I've gotten used to the sound over time and new listeners are 50/50 if they can vibe to it.
I would really like to see you react to Orbit Culture, they're heavy and thrashy and got a new album coming so the hype for them is building
Yes Orbit Culture! They need more love
I recently discovered Orbit Culture and River of Nihil. Both are incredible.

The way i feel about sleep token is its just that, its a sleep token. its like trance music where you just have to vibe. its not for everyone but you should give the will ramos version of the song chokehold a chance.
I have no patience either 😂 you go right into your songs with brutal „rrrrr“s; set things straight right in the beginning and I am all here for it.
Love this reaction. Totally okay that it's not your preferred style of music, but you can appreciate that it's still good. They're definitely not a heavy band, but their composition, lyrics, vocals, and tendency to flip between genres is awesome. Kudos for giving a very real reaction!
He stopped it right before the heaviest part of the song and said this isn’t that heavy😂😂
No sir! That part you said was "pop", where you can't help but move at the last part. That is soul!
Absolutely love how genuine Alex is with just who he is. Love the reaction had me laughing alot 😂😂❤
Hey, if Will Ramos can cover Sleep Token then so can you! They have some heavier tracks for sure but mostly in the older tracks. Great reaction and can't wait for more!
It almost seems like its gonna grow on him. The whole album is all over the place, musically. Rap, pop, metal, rock. Its just a conglomerate of music really.

nah that song isn’t really heavy, just a bit screamy, you should do Sleep Token - Gods if you want heavy
In a parallel universe, Alex is a stand up comedian 😂
Never listened to sleep token before this album, nor have I ever been a fan of genre mixing the way they do. My first reaction a couple weeks ago was identical to this, I was like hmm this isn't my usual cup of tea but I actually don't hate this. Wasn't blown away either but then I could not get the songs out of my head until I listened to the album again the next day. Fast forward to now and I've listened to the entire album start to finish at least once a day since the first listen. Every single song just gets stuck. This album is awesome, the guitar tones are great, the vocals are very good, the lyrics resonate with me quite well when they usually wouldn't. My only criticism would be that the drums' kick and snare have that annoying overproduced sampling that's so common in modern heavier music. 10/10
DITTOOOOO.
I relate to your comment so, so much.
What did you think about the previous two albums? I don't know if you know already, but the last song on this album is a throwback to the very first song of this album trilogy.
In the first song he sings: the night does not belong to us.
In the last song the lyrics change: the night belongs to *you*.
@rickvanpol3833 i started this place will become your tomb the other day but i only had time for the first couple songs. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood but they didn't seem to hook me like the newest album. I think I'll start from the first album next time i listen to them and formulate an opinion from there
Went through the exact same thing. Usually bands that I didn’t love from the beginning end up being my favourite.
STP is my favorite band. However, these guys are up up there. Thank you for a genuine reaction.
Sleep token is in my opinion the most versatile band. They make a song for everyone. Granted, those willing to listen with an open mind.
Ok gojira too then
@@chrismaws6801 disagree. But okay.
@@arturborkowski3832 what you’re saying is contradictory. If you don’t like these bands that are for “everyone”, then they’re not for everyone. You aren’t alone, Sleep Token and Ghost have plenty of haters, particularly from fans of metal, because the reality is that neither band is really metaI. I like them both but also acknowledge they both are over the top and goofy at times. It doesn’t bother me personally because I don’t need to take music seriously to enjoy it. But I get why people find them annoying.
Yes. That is a great way to put it. There is a Sleep Token song for everyone. Yes
Only gojira
Stay genuine brother. Most people don't like the truth, but I appreciate your authenticity.
“It sounds beautiful, and gay” I’m dead 🤣
'Vore' has to be in my top songs for the year, its so good. Sleep token had to had time to get used to for me, i didnt get it at first, but i just kept playing their songs at repeat because its so bizzare and i never heard anything quite like that. With time i got it. I didn't like the summoning at first but i genuinely really enjoy it now.
They are a slow burn band. I like to say I "hate listened" to them at first. I couldn't decide if I liked them or not or if I thought they were any good but I couldn't stop listening to figure it out and now I'm obsessed. And yes, Vore is one of my top songs from them as well.
For me, it was a "why do i keep hearing about this band?" So I avoided for a while as sometimes I have a tiny bit of a hipster streak.
Then I heard Nazareth, Offering and Higher... that was all it took me to worship.
Sleep Token is that band you can play around your friends and family. STP is that raw energy you listen to alone and face fucks you with aggression. Love both bands. Both are easily in my top 3 favorite bands. Nothing beats a 1am drive blasting 666, Agony, and Chronic Slaughter through your subwoofers.
They definitely give me more of a dream theater vibe. Vore is a pretty good song by them though, a little heavier. my pandora station is built on slaughter to prevail, gojira, and lacuna coil and it popped up a few days ago on my way to work. Love what you do man 🤘
Слип токен просто делают очень изобретательные и "артовые" песни, со своей уникальной атмосферой. Выстрелили они как раз с этого сингла, так как он более понятен для широкой аудитории. Поэтому люди начали выкупать их звук. Когда я первый раз послушал их года четыре назад, моя первая реакция была такая же. Но прошлой осенью я решил послушать полностью их альбомы и теперь это одна из моих любимых групп.
Слип токен просто растет на вас. Я был таким же. Я мог слушать только несколько песен в течение короткого времени. Теперь я могу потеряться в целых альбомах.
Присмотрись к себе получше. Возможно, теперь ты полюбил нюхать мужские яйца? 😂😂
The offering самая Крутая их песня которая их характеризует
помню я послушал тоже эту песню пару раз несколько месяцев назад, мне вроде сначала зашло, я подумал что-то типо рока будет как ghost, но как дропнули альбом я просто охуел и вкатился. в особенности с заглавной песни с альбома
Great reaction, and i appreciate how honest and genuine your reaction is! Oceans of slumber- a return to the earth below. Amazing doom metal song, and cammie has one of the best singing voices in the genre.
That would be such a great song for a reaction, completely agree
I didn't realize how much I needed this. Thank you Alex for being so genuine! Looking forward to the band's next visit to FL!
Edit* If you're still interested in heavy songs from them with harsh vocals give "Vore" and "Gods" a try.

I love sleep token I come from the heaviest music but I’m a musician and sleep token is like tool ina sense they both are elite at the way they do their music to me
Genuinely thrilling to see my favorite metal vocalists reacting or making covers to Sleep Token songs. Sleep Token has always been, and will likely remain a chaotic mash of whatever kind of genres and tones they want to put into their individual songs, and each track on the album has a lot of unique flair. If you want something a tad heavier, albeit not as heavy as you'd probably like, Vore is probably the heaviest on this particular album, and also a super good song. I'm looking forward to more reactions from you!
His reaction to the length of the song was mine to the run time of the album. This is amazing content. Love you Alex and all you do!
I think it’s the chaos that draws me too it! I usually listen to heavier music but there is something about them and their new album that I love and it has helped me thru some dark times. Can’t wait for September will be seeing you guys and Sleep Token among many others at Blue Ridge! Come jam out and have some fun with us during their set!
I wish I could go 😢
Have fun!!!
Another band similar to sleep token for their genre mashup style is 12 Foot Ninja great band from Australia.
Alex: I don’t like clean vocals in heavy music
Vessel: see the other-SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!!!
Love to see a metal vocalist react to other metal bands. I know Will Ramos of Lorna Shore has done a few semi-reviews of other bands. Just amazing to see. Loved to see your reaction on Lorna Shore, or even Thy Art Is Murder!
