@@Kelly30stmbasically their whole catalog is pretty solid. Out of the 3 albums there’s maybe like 3-4 songs total that I might skip, but even those songs have parts I like within them. I’m just happy I found them normally and not from some wack ass TikTok trend because I probably wouldn’t have given them a chance. I guess that’s the good thing about never having made a TikTok. I miss the trends, I didn’t know this song was big on TikTok until months after I started to bump them
"Yeah, I fuck with this!" LMFAO My thoughts exactly. As a drummer II's cymbal work & ability to modulate the time signature is god tier. You gotta do Take me back to Eden next 🤘🔥
Have you heard II's live version of the synth part of The Summoning? It is incredible. If you haven't you must watch II on Drumeo. I'm not a drummer but I am so impressed by II & his amazing skill-set.
Knox… this is a huge rabbit hole Vessel is the vocalist, II is the drummer and they are the founding members of the band. III is on bass and IV is the guitarist and then the Vesselettes are the backup vocalists as well. Vessel and II are the only ones who write the music, II is only drums and Vessel does everything else from what I know I suggest you read up on the lore of Sleep Token and their story it’s a lot to type on here, but it’s wild. Does not take away from the incredible music and writing, I really hope you go down this journey and we’re here for it man 3 albums, some singles, and two started EP’s await you in their discography, I hope you start at the beginning but I doubt you will
Well I'm freaking out now. Finally reacting to another one of my favorites! You'll have to react to everything they do now. 😂 Sleep Token has its own lore and storyline, but you can enjoy the music and lyrics without the storyline too. They're just so good.
Agreed! So much of Vessels lyrics are incredible. When I caught a hidden reference to quantum entanglement theory in Blood Sport my jaw hit the floor. He's an amazing lyricist.
YOOOOO I'm soo here for knox and Sleep Token. This entire album is fantastic. I'd suggest you take a look at either Rain, Ascensionism, or Take Me Back To Eden. I think you'll like them a lot.
Knox you have no idea how long I've waited for this! I'm so glad you're finally checking out sleep token, there is so much to unpack in all of their songs. I hope you check out more of their music either off or on camera. Love ya Knox, it's great to witness and engage fellow music appreciators :) I don't normally comment but I got WAY too excited with this one
OMG YES, FINALLY ! Welcome to the rabbit hole of my favorite band ever. You'll have a loooooot of analyzing/connecting the dots to do with this band, their lyricism, their art, and I REALLY hope you'll react to their entire discography. Yes, the entire thing. I swear on my life it will be so worth it. Worship. 🖤
Saw the thumbnail and immediately was like "Oh s**t! Gotta see his reaction!" Sleep Token is soo good! Happy to see them on the channel. Also, love the work you put into your videos. Keep it up Knox!
What's crazier is in the studio it's only 2 people, Vessel 1 does everything besides drums, on tours they bring out a guitarist, bassist and keyboardist and background singers
Knox: first time commenter. Thank you so much for doing this. Highly recommend their catalog, especially their song Ascension. It's really something else, especially given that we really can't label them in terms of genre.
Welcome to Sleep Token. The masters of blending genres thst shouldn't work together. Listen to Ascentionism and Granite. 🖤 Absolutely loved your reaction.
I've been waiting patiently for you to react to Sleep Token for so long. I can't wait for you to dive more into their music. I recommend Hypnosis, High Water, Dark Signs and Descending.
Been obsessed since I’ve heard them two years ago. I was so bored with music and they instantly got my attention with the masterful genre blending and bending 🙏
I've been a Knox watcher/fan for over a year now but never commented about Sleep Token bc I never thought my comment would be seen by him but I've been hoping and praying it would happen and it finally DID!! OMG, yes you HAVE to do Take Me Back To Eden IMMEDIATELY!!! (And then the rest of that whole album too!!!) Dude seriously it's like a new rock/metal REN rabbit hole, I swear!!!
Take Me Back to Eden is a god damn masterpiece. I got pulled deep into a rabbit hole when I stumbled across that chorus. 😂 my english lit ass went HHHWAT?!
Knox thank you so freakin much for reacting to Sleep Token... seriously my Dude they are a band worth diving into more. The lyricism that Vessel pours into his tracks is truly next level. Please please please react to some more of their music.
I love how you breakdown this song so well you have never heard it yet do such a good job of the lyrics and what they mean you nailed the story DO MORE SLEEP TOKEN
I love to see the return of metal Mondays! And honestly, I watch every video that you drop no matter what it’s about because the way that you do breakdowns and just make us understand about all the different aspects of what goes into the music has made me learn to love different kinds of music I never thought I would and I am very thankful to you for that!
Holy shit, I can’t believe you reacted to this song. Longtime rap fan, and then listening to your content for years, and just started getting into sleep token, bad omens, this kind of music… it’s been on repeat in my playlist 24/7 lately
Knox, I’m so happy to see you get to Sleep Token… they’re the best. All the peeps are gonna drop their suggestions in here, but you really should just do them all! This band is incredible
Yes Knox, take the leap into the Sleep Token rabbit hole. From the same album try Take me back to Eden, from second album try Hypnosis and from their first album try The Offering.
I absolutely love the way you break down lyrics, when I saw its sleep token its like two things that I love in one piece🙏🏼. I really recommend you to react more sleep token songs! In my opinion, all their lyrics are such a journey of mind thinking!
FINALLY!!!!! I have been hoping for a Sleep Token reaction from you since I first discovered your channel. Sleep Token is the only artist other than Ren that has captured my attention over the past many years, just because of pure talent and inventiveness. I hope you'll do more, this is a fun rabbit hole to go down.
Ahhhh I’m so happy about this reaction i clicked right away 😅 I have been so obsessed with them for the past month And watching people hear them for the first time is always a treat You’re right about the religious aspect of the lyrics Their entire concept is about Vessel (singer/ songwriter) having a dream about a Goddess called Sleep and that’s why he made this band so he could worship her They brings pop and r&b and funk into prog metal, you need to hear Chokehold and Ascensionism to really understand it 🫶🏻 w o r s h i p
Knox, 100% need to come back to Sleep Token soon. I feel like you would enjoy breaking down Ascensionism. They have a multitude of top-notch songs to choose from, though.
Oh man. Excited for this. Sleep Token definitely has bars to break down. You should check out "Take me back to Eden" or "Ascensionism" or "Aqua Regia".
I have been hoping this would happen. The lyrics in this entire album are absolutely fantastic, so much to analyze. Can't wait for you to hear some more Sleep Token!
This is why I love sleep token so many people have been listening and reacting to this song and pretty much everyone has their own perception of what it means that is really good song writing
Glad to see you start the Sleep Token journey, Knox! Their discography is fantastic from start to finish. A little context: Sleep Token is an anonymous band from the UK, led by their lead singer under the title 'Vessel'. Their last 3 albums tell one continuous story of pain, evolution, acceptance, and perseverance throughout a relationship and with himself. Also, the figures that you will see in some of their videos represent figures that were seen in the lead singer Vessel's dreams, with 'Sleep' being the primary diety. There is a lore to the band that is very interesting:) I know you will receive a lot of suggestions for their song 'Take Me Back to Eden', but that song is kind of the climax of the journey so far. If you decide to listen to more of their music, I would suggest either 'Alkaline' to see some more of the awesome lyricism Vessel has, or 'The Apparition' to see another showcase of how they combine different genre's. Enjoy the journey, Knox! Definitely hope to see more!
So happy to see you reacting to Sleep Token. Hopefully you check out more from them because I love the way you analyze lyrics and they have some good ones. Also think you should check out Ascensionism and Rain by them as well.
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you want to support the channel grab your signed merch now 🤟www.knoxhillmusic.com
Gotta do take me back to Eden by sleep token now
If you react to Chokehold or Hypnosis you could also react to Will Ramos (Lorna Shore) covering those. I love both versions!
Joyner Lucas ft Jelly Roll just dropped and needs a breakdown
Take me back to Eden. (It's best if you listen to the album in order, but take me back to Eden is top tier regardless).
Granite- you will like it
Ascensionism by them is the one hip hop fans will probably like the most.
Idk there’s some bars in TMBTE
The drum pad in The Apparition would like a word...
Omg so true!
Please do more Sleep Token, Knox!
omg knox reacting to ascensionism is my dream
I've been waiting for a Sleep Token reaction forever, hopefully this is the first of many.
Me too! Give him some suggestions!
Same
Yes! Please do more sleep token!

Yeeees me too❤
Oh boy, is there a Sleep Token rabbit hole coming? Its worth it!
So, what genre of music do you make?
Sleep Token: Yes. 😁
This is so correct 😂😂
right... I challenge anyone to name a better metal-pop-djent-rock-prog-indie-R&B-funk-alternative band
LOL
This. Lol. I just found them recently and was trying to describe them to my spouse and gave up.
Sleep Token IS a genre 😂🖤🖤
@@brendachobanian567 It's like a mix of Pink Floyd and Imogen Heap, but jazzy metal. 😁
The fact Vessel wrote all the music except the drums still blows my mind, dude is so talented.
I'm convinced the man is a musical genius.
Ayy, cool to see Sleep Token here, you gotta do "Take Me Back to Eden" next.
Or "Ascensionism"
These two are my top 2 songs
@@MrBlakeD82yeah. I definitely feel ascensionism is more Knox vibe to it
Either that or Ascensionism!
Ascensionism!!! Yes!!!!
"Yeah, I fuck with this!" LMFAO My thoughts exactly. As a drummer II's cymbal work & ability to modulate the time signature is god tier. You gotta do Take me back to Eden next 🤘🔥
II is a freakin genius.
@yilomina2047 his cymbals work leaves me in awe. V 2 and brooks wakerman, just on another level
yes knoxx plz
@@yilomina2047 I agree. Tho I'm biased I'd say he's the best musician in the band.
Have you heard II's live version of the synth part of The Summoning? It is incredible. If you haven't you must watch II on Drumeo. I'm not a drummer but I am so impressed by II & his amazing skill-set.
i swear, watching people hear that last part of the song for the first time is one of my favorite things on youtube.
Knox… this is a huge rabbit hole
Vessel is the vocalist, II is the drummer and they are the founding members of the band. III is on bass and IV is the guitarist and then the Vesselettes are the backup vocalists as well. Vessel and II are the only ones who write the music, II is only drums and Vessel does everything else from what I know
I suggest you read up on the lore of Sleep Token and their story it’s a lot to type on here, but it’s wild. Does not take away from the incredible music and writing, I really hope you go down this journey and we’re here for it man
3 albums, some singles, and two started EP’s await you in their discography, I hope you start at the beginning but I doubt you will
They’re not called the Vessellettes, they’re called Espera.
I hope he does too because it doesn’t make sense unless you do
II is a godlike drummer makes the hole band for me
Welcome to Sleep Token :) “Take Me Back to Eden” and “Ascensionism” are amazing as well as “The Apparition” !!!
My favorites right there
Well I'm freaking out now. Finally reacting to another one of my favorites! You'll have to react to everything they do now. 😂
Sleep Token has its own lore and storyline, but you can enjoy the music and lyrics without the storyline too. They're just so good.
Calm down, calm down 😂😂😂😂 Woo Hoo 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@bazkeen 🤣 no time for calm, only crazy!
@@Kelly30stm 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
You have to be crazy when it's Sleep Token!!! 🎉🎉🎉
i was literally JUST thinking I'd love to see sleep token on this channel!!! you should totally react to Take Me Back To Eden and Ascensionism!
They’re such an eclectic blend of rock, pop, R&B, hip hop vocals, funk…just goes on and on. Really amazing lyricist.
Yes sir!
As a lyrical fanatic… take the Sleep token ride Knox. It’s a trip.
Agreed! So much of Vessels lyrics are incredible. When I caught a hidden reference to quantum entanglement theory in Blood Sport my jaw hit the floor. He's an amazing lyricist.
YOOOOO I'm soo here for knox and Sleep Token. This entire album is fantastic. I'd suggest you take a look at either Rain, Ascensionism, or Take Me Back To Eden. I think you'll like them a lot.
Granite is awesome as well.
The whole take me back to eden album is a MASTERPIECE! I feel like your next stop should be Granite and Ascenscionism
Ohhh Granite would be a great one!
"I love that switch up in the musicality of this..."
Me: "Welcome to Sleep Token." :)
You would absolutely love their song Ascensionism. Please check it out on the next metal Monday.
That is one I have to say I think most people get a great reaction and feel from.
Agreed 💯😂
The Offering, Higher, Jaws, Atlantic, Hypnosis, Alkaline, This whole album! DO any Sleep Token. They are phenomenal
Dark Signs, Sugar...fuck anything
@@I_M0NARCH_I right!?! 😂 Agreed 💯
WORSHIP.
Also, you should definitely go through this ENTIRE album!!!!! EASILY my favorite album of 2023!!!!
Vessels voice is carnal. Women melt to it. That ending is chefs kiss. The best way to describe all his music, in my opinion.....obsession.
vessel, the vocalist, writes all the music but the percussion. the lyrics, guitar, piano, etc. and theyre amazing live!
also, if you want some more insight into the drums drumeo had II on and had him talk about his process and what not.
Knox you have no idea how long I've waited for this! I'm so glad you're finally checking out sleep token, there is so much to unpack in all of their songs. I hope you check out more of their music either off or on camera. Love ya Knox, it's great to witness and engage fellow music appreciators :)
I don't normally comment but I got WAY too excited with this one
Oh Knox is about to have a goddamn field day trying to work through Vessel's writing
Its all about Bad Omens and Sleep Token in metal right now for me Im cool with you reacting to either one, this is awesome!
Welcome to the sleep token journey 🫡 Favorite band of 2023!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Please check out more!!!
Oh this is a great rabbit hole to go down! This band is very unique and always had a surprise within each track
You can hear right away that this guys understands music so well. Does not interrupt to much, meaning full comments. Great react video. Well done.
OMG YES, FINALLY !
Welcome to the rabbit hole of my favorite band ever.
You'll have a loooooot of analyzing/connecting the dots to do with this band, their lyricism, their art, and I REALLY hope you'll react to their entire discography. Yes, the entire thing. I swear on my life it will be so worth it.
Worship. 🖤
"is that like a Viking with a bazooka on his arm?" the tone of your voice saying that made you my favourite person for the next five minutes
Chokehold is the one by Sleep Token i think you will like
Will Ramos did a pretty spectacular cover.
@@pobsdadthe screams he adds make it fire. And I would die if they did a version together.
Yay!! I've missed Metal Mondays!! 🤘
The best day!
SLEEP TOKEN, YESSS
Hypnosis, Gods, Vore and The Apparition are my recommendations for the next ST reaction. Love this band and love your breakdowns.
Saw the thumbnail and immediately was like "Oh s**t! Gotta see his reaction!" Sleep Token is soo good! Happy to see them on the channel.
Also, love the work you put into your videos. Keep it up Knox!
About damn time you check out Sleep Token, definitely need to do more. I would love to hear your breakdown of all his unique lyricism
I love your reactions to metal, Knox. They’re so pure and perfect. And there’s nothing like the tasty riffs Sleep Token delivers.
What's crazier is in the studio it's only 2 people, Vessel 1 does everything besides drums, on tours they bring out a guitarist, bassist and keyboardist and background singers
I only recently discovered Sleep Token and went pretty far down the rabbit hole! They are awesome, and their drummer is wild.
Knox: first time commenter. Thank you so much for doing this. Highly recommend their catalog, especially their song Ascension. It's really something else, especially given that we really can't label them in terms of genre.
Ah bro this is amazing! You need to check out Sleep Token - Granite and ascensionism
Welcome to Sleep Token. The masters of blending genres thst shouldn't work together. Listen to Ascentionism and Granite. 🖤
Absolutely loved your reaction.
We have been waiting for you to react to them!!! "Ascensionism" is a must listen from them......PLEASE🙏
I'm the first! Love sleep token man, so glad you're reacting too them 😁
The best band there is. Sleep Token isn't just music; they are an experience.
Oh man, you are in for a ride. These guys are incredible
I've been waiting patiently for you to react to Sleep Token for so long. I can't wait for you to dive more into their music. I recommend Hypnosis, High Water, Dark Signs and Descending.
Alkaline, Rain and Take Me Back to Eden are beautiful lyrically. I’m not much of a lyrics person usually, but those songs do something to me
Highly recommend checking out Ascensionism and Take Me Back to Eden next. They won't disappoint.
More Sleep Token please! My fav band! Any song is good. They don’t have a bad one. Worship! 🙏🏼
Commenting before the video kicks off to say. HELL YEAH, my favourite band currently, can't wait to see what you think of them!
Been obsessed since I’ve heard them two years ago. I was so bored with music and they instantly got my attention with the masterful genre blending and bending 🙏
If you're willing, I would like to hear your lyrical breakdown of Vessel's pen! Like your work, Vessel captured my attention 😁
It's barely 7am, I haven't even had coffee yet and the video hasn't even started, and I already know this just made my day ❤
Those high notes send shivers down my spine every. Single. Time.
Atlantic is such a different vibe by them and has beautifully deep lyrics, you'd love it!
Ugh yeah. Atlantic is hard to listen to, the lyrics hit hard on that one.
Holy shit it's about damn time you reacted to this🔥🔥🔥
I've been a Knox watcher/fan for over a year now but never commented about Sleep Token bc I never thought my comment would be seen by him but I've been hoping and praying it would happen and it finally DID!! OMG, yes you HAVE to do Take Me Back To Eden IMMEDIATELY!!! (And then the rest of that whole album too!!!) Dude seriously it's like a new rock/metal REN rabbit hole, I swear!!!
Take Me Back to Eden is a god damn masterpiece. I got pulled deep into a rabbit hole when I stumbled across that chorus. 😂 my english lit ass went HHHWAT?!
I come and check your channel to see if there's ever any more sleep token reactions. You definitely need to do more of these soon!
Knox thank you so freakin much for reacting to Sleep Token... seriously my Dude they are a band worth diving into more. The lyricism that Vessel pours into his tracks is truly next level. Please please please react to some more of their music.

Ascensionism or Take Me Back To Eden should def be next up. Vessel's lyrics on those are great.
Way to find a band that does nearly every genre you can think of. They got something for everybody.
Ya gotta check out their songs where they have rap switch ups Knox. You will enjoy Take Me Back To Eden
Knox, I’m so happy to see you get to Sleep Token… they’re the best. All the peeps are gonna drop their suggestions in here, but you really should just do them all! This band is incredible
you are my favorite reactor and I didn't expect you to ever find sleep token. You HAVE to do the full album, especially in order, it's a wild ride.
Yes Knox, take the leap into the Sleep Token rabbit hole. From the same album try Take me back to Eden, from second album try Hypnosis and from their first album try The Offering.
Been waiting for this and Take Me Back To Eden for ages. Also, has Knox ever reacted to Rush? He'd be all over Neil's amazing lyrics! A lyrical god.
Best drummer of all time in rush too
I like that you put out reactions later than anyone else. And it's always the best one.
This was sooo exciting to see. One of my fav artists! And very lyrical! Yessssss do more sleep token.
IM SO GLAD YOURE FINALLY LISTENING TO SLEEP TOKEN!!!! :D
Awesome reaction. And much respect for hearing the piano during the chorus first time around.
Man i never thought I'd see this, SP is amazing, and i also love your content too. Hopefully we can see a few more of these on the channel
Omg I’m so happy to see you’ve started Sleep token. You’re gonna have so many metaphors to break down. I’m so excited to hear your take.
I absolutely love the way you break down lyrics, when I saw its sleep token its like two things that I love in one piece🙏🏼. I really recommend you to react more sleep token songs! In my opinion, all their lyrics are such a journey of mind thinking!
FINALLY!!!!! I have been hoping for a Sleep Token reaction from you since I first discovered your channel. Sleep Token is the only artist other than Ren that has captured my attention over the past many years, just because of pure talent and inventiveness. I hope you'll do more, this is a fun rabbit hole to go down.
Yes! Ive been waiting forever for you to get to Sleep Token. This whole album is amazing. You’ll really like their lyricism
FINALLY!! Please go down the rabbit hole with this one. This band is absolutely incredible. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Ahhhh I’m so happy about this reaction i clicked right away 😅 I have been so obsessed with them for the past month
And watching people hear them for the first time is always a treat
You’re right about the religious aspect of the lyrics
Their entire concept is about Vessel (singer/ songwriter) having a dream about a Goddess called Sleep and that’s why he made this band so he could worship her
They brings pop and r&b and funk into prog metal, you need to hear Chokehold and Ascensionism to really understand it 🫶🏻 w o r s h i p
Great reaction, man! I agree with others that Ascensionism would be a great one to react to next though. Dude is a lyrical genius.
Knox, 100% need to come back to Sleep Token soon. I feel like you would enjoy breaking down Ascensionism. They have a multitude of top-notch songs to choose from, though.
Glad to be back here - missed you reacting to metal.
Holy cow. The algorithm really let me down on this. Dude, their entire discography is absolute fire. Glad to see you checking them out.
Oh man. Excited for this. Sleep Token definitely has bars to break down. You should check out "Take me back to Eden" or "Ascensionism" or "Aqua Regia".
I have been hoping this would happen. The lyrics in this entire album are absolutely fantastic, so much to analyze. Can't wait for you to hear some more Sleep Token!
This is why I love sleep token so many people have been listening and reacting to this song and pretty much everyone has their own perception of what it means that is really good song writing
Glad to see you start the Sleep Token journey, Knox! Their discography is fantastic from start to finish.
A little context: Sleep Token is an anonymous band from the UK, led by their lead singer under the title 'Vessel'. Their last 3 albums tell one continuous story of pain, evolution, acceptance, and perseverance throughout a relationship and with himself. Also, the figures that you will see in some of their videos represent figures that were seen in the lead singer Vessel's dreams, with 'Sleep' being the primary diety. There is a lore to the band that is very interesting:)
I know you will receive a lot of suggestions for their song 'Take Me Back to Eden', but that song is kind of the climax of the journey so far. If you decide to listen to more of their music, I would suggest either 'Alkaline' to see some more of the awesome lyricism Vessel has, or 'The Apparition' to see another showcase of how they combine different genre's.
Enjoy the journey, Knox! Definitely hope to see more!
You liking the call back with the intro lyrics and the the outro, definitely check out The Night Does Not Belong To God and then Euclid
So happy to see you reacting to Sleep Token. Hopefully you check out more from them because I love the way you analyze lyrics and they have some good ones. Also think you should check out Ascensionism and Rain by them as well.
Finally! Been waiting for you to do a Sleep Token reaction for two years now!
Yes! I love that you did Sleep Token. Should definitely check out "Chokehold" and "Granite".
So happy you are back to metal
Mondays. So cool!!!😎
I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’ve finally did a reaction to Sleep Token!!!!!!!
I saw the title for the vid and I thought "Oh shit, Knox is gonna love this."
My favorite band. Every song is perfect
About fucking time man. I hope there's more coming. You have to do the whole album now, really.
Oh yeah, time for Knox to go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole! Every song is a journey, you'll love it knox! Great reaction!
