The way she describes how this song made her feel is exactly why I listen to metal. It's one of the only genres that gives me that feeling. It's almost like an adrenaline dump combined with the emotion that only truly great music can deliver. ❤
Time to do the discography. Thrust me all of us sleep tokens fans will be honored to watch your reactions. Welcomeeee. To the band we don’t deserve but honored to have
Great reaction! Yes, they do have their own "alphabet," which they use for official social media announcements. I do recommend starting at the beginning and listening to their whole discography, as it does tell a "story" throughout. I'm not sure how much info on the band you have been told. They hail from London. They are an anonymous masked collective of musicians. For recording purposes, the band consists of Vessel who performs all the vocals and plays all the instruments and II (Roman numeral 2), who plays all the drums and percussion, inc electronic drum pads. For live performances they are joined on stage by III (3) on bass, IV (4) on guitar, and a 3 piece female vocal group called Espera who perform the backing vocals and harmonies. Subscribed. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I'm absolutely so thrilled to see you guys start the sleep token journey- going through their entire discography might be a little much, but if you've even considering that A LITTLE- I'd like to vote for it!
i love watching people experience their songs for the first time, its special with sleep token I also cant believe you knocked out Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden. You cant miss with this band in my opinion, every song has something special about it even tracks from previous albums.
So many people have the same feelings experiencing sleep token. I can’t even describe it but something about them just sucks you in. It’s almost like experiencing music for the first time. I’ve never encountered a band that I’ve become obsessed with so quickly. I have a lot of artists i really love but sleep token is just special and it’s crazy how so many people feel the same way.
Hi. You should listen to Euclid next. Absolutely beautiful. Then Dark Sighns. They are unbelievably good. They look at music in such a unique way. It moves you
"Musicality" is absolutely a word. In music theory, it's that "something extra" a performer brings that elevates a work from being notes in order to being music.
I’ve never known a band whose songs made me feel like my soul broke apart and put me back together piece after piece and made each piece feel something. Please explore every song and worship 🙏🏻
One of my all time favourite song is "The Night Does Not Belong to God" which is the first song of their first album. You have to listen to it from the begining and I can promise you it's gonna be one of the best journey you've ever had.
I completely understand the feeling when listening to it. Especially for the first time. I've listened to and even studied ALOT of music but this album really touches your soul. I won't go too deep into it to avoid any spoilers though. You can't find everything out for yourselves! My suggestion, live stream. Whole album and some wired over ear headphones. Worship!
Chokehold would be a great option for more Sleep Token and is directly related to this song. Two of the verses that sounds in the end of Take me back to Eden are the beginning of Chokehold.
start from track one. Sundowning is an amazing experience and so is This Place Will be Your Tomb. Learn the story and join the worship. Vessel is a true gift, and II's drumming is one of the most inventive on the scene today. The Night Does Not Belong To God is the first track on your new journey, and look out for references to older songs as you go along. They really put the time and effort into making this trilogy of albums a full circle story of Vessel's love for the Goddess "Sleep"
Nice reaction! A few times I have just chilled with headphones in a dark room and just listened to their whole discography. Here for more! If you like the piano parts check out Atlantic, Aqua Regia, BloodSport from the room below. If you want to be transported (though all of their songs transport me lol) try Atlantic, Thread the Needle, The Offering, Levitate, Higher, Hypnosis, Like That, The Apparition and Euclid
Ohh new Sleep Token Reachtion channel/series! This group (especially Vessel and II) are truly something special and changed my life. I hope you have a good time on this journey. Worship! 💜 To your point around 10:45 about it feeling like anxiety, I think of it like a sense of awe or wonder. Sleep Token do things like nobody else. Especially II on drums and Vessel on .. well everything else. He is Sleep Token. He writes the words, guitar and piano parts, arrangements, etc. And then II adds drums afterward. Like other people have said, I'd suggest starting at EP 1 and going through it all. You'll get a much better picture of who Vessel is and the journey that Sleep Token is if you start at the beginning.
Connor you commented on the drums, I recommend the songs Hypnosis and Alkaline as tracks where the drummer really stands out. My personal favourites are Rain, Higher, Chokehold and The Offering
Great reaction! My favorites are Dark Signs, The Love That You Want, and Apparition. 3 songs, one from each album. You will hear their quality that was always there.
Please start from the beginning! I regret not doing it for my introduction to this band. Found them in February of this year and their music has been life changing. It’s raw and emotional. No doubt you will enjoy any random song recommended by them, but you would appreciate each song more than the last if you go in order. Good luck on your journey. Worship. Subscribed.
It's hard for me to show it outwardly, but it's just refreshing and validating to see someone else with such a visceral feeling while listening to music. It's so hard to explain to almost anyone else, but there's certain things that certain music can do to me physically, and I think she gets it.
Every song is so unique, but the drums and Vessel's voice always remind you that its Sleep Token, no matter where the song takes you. Worship. Honestly, just pick a song, any song, and they will blow you away. There are only amazing Sleep Token songs. While the true journey is from the beginning, I also feel like Sleep Token can be listened to in any order; the pieces will come together in the end no matter which path you choose. I think Vessel meant for that. Just as he once said not to get caught up in the genres, I feel the same applies to the order in which you listen to their music.
Yessss! Time to go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole! It would be best to start from the very beginning with the EP’s, singles, and covers and then do the albums- Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb, and Take Me Back to Eden all in order because they all tie together and tell a story about loss, a toxic relationship, heartbreak, and trying to find self love and heal…it’s sad but very beautiful and Vessel’s writing is pure metaphoric poetry! But this is just my suggestion, we will watch you react to whatever song you choose to listen to! Definitely make sure you have the music videos up for the ones that have official videos because they really go hand in hand. At the very least, save Euclid from Take Me Back to Eden for last and definitely not before listening to The Night Does Not Belong to God off of Sundowning! If you save it for last, you will know why 😉 Subscribed for the journey! Buckle up…it’s an emotional ride! And always expect the unexpected! These two songs that you have reacted to are some of their more complex, genre-blending songs…most are a good mix of genres, but they also have songs that are short and more to the point (but always with incredibly thoughtful lyrics and top tier musicianship!) Also, just a little fact for you, Vessel and II are the only ones on the studio recordings, so Vessel writes, sings and plays everything but drums which are played by II. I believe there may be a few songs that II has a hand in writing as well. The rest of the band members are the touring members…III on bass and IV on guitar. Also, backing vocalists are a trio called Espera!

I respect you for taking so much time to write this😆. Worship
If you decide to undertake the journey, start with the trilogy of albums starting with the Sundowning album, the This Place Will Become Your Tomb album and finally Take Me Back to Eden album. There's also 2 EPs called One and Two and several several singles. I've watched probably a dozen reactors do the whole journey. 💜
I think the anxiety comes from the confusion on how to react emotionally. Its clearly uplifting like worship music, but without a diety to attribute the feelings towards. So you're left uplifted over something you can't express or put into words, which can be scary to find yourself unintentionally affected by an unknown emotional force.
10:55 i totally get the point your making too me it is a similar feeling of "positive anxiety " if that can even be possible....now back to the reaction 😂
Wonderful reaction. I’ve got good news, all ST songs will move you like this. I myself have become addicted to watching people discover and react to their music. It’s perhaps a bit like getting to relive discovering them all over again. Well done, and as us diehards say… Worship. ❤

I could not have said it better myself....Worship.
Hypnosis, chokehold, the summoning, euclid, granite, apparition.... just pick one... take your pick
2 месяца назад+1
When you do more sleep token, they are a very lore based band and a lot of people regret not starting from the beginning. so i would recommend starting from their first song "Thread the Needle", then going from there. But it's up to you guys, every one of their songs are 10/10s in their own unique way so you really can't go wrong.
I’m reliving my first time listening to sleep token through you both, whatever you pick next will be an incredible experience. My personal favorites right now is “the love you want” & “jaws”
The first time I heard of Sleep Token was when Will Ramos did a cover of Hypnosis. From there I got my first album and honestly barely listened to it. Then I saw a reaction to Vore and bought that album. I say all that to get to the point that I’ve listened to nothing but sleep token for about 3 months. They’re absolutely amazing and I do recommend starting with their first album
Started watching your reactions and it brings me joy to see jasmine become completely engrossed in sleep token songs. I know exactly how you feel and what you mean about how their music makes you feel. I have to insist you listen to all their songs. If you like Atlantic and this song you'll like High Water and Jaws too
Saw this band live this summer and have been pretty much daily listening since. my second favorite thing to do weirdly or not now is watch other people's first reactions so thanks. I've heard other commenter's describe this band like this. " It's like discovering a new color", which seems fitting Also recommend going to the beginning album of the trilogy Sundowning. The Night Does Not Belong to God
Great reaction. Sleep Token are always able to build tension and then release it in such a satisfying way, even when you know it's coming. I would recommend Atlantic, Dark Signs, and The Love You Want. Honestly, all there music is worth a listen.
My favorite Sleep token song changes, but overall I have to go with Euclid. Just please don't listen to Euclid until you have listened to the whole trilogy. While it is a great song on its own, it is probably the greatest closing song of a trilogy or album ever devised, to end it -- or circle it back, depending on how you look at it.
Hell yeah. Welcome down the rabbit hole! :D My nr 1 album 2023, and it't not even close. I've followed them for years, but TMBTE really cemented them as a major powerhouse in the metal-scene. This album really refined their sound and made them blow the hell up! Excited to see you listen to more! Some information about the band. (I'll keep it short!) Sleep Token are British. The band is anonymous, they wear masks on stage and very rarely talk on stage/never do interviews (II Drumeo cameo excluded.) . Sleep Token consists of 4 known members; Singer Vessel, Drummer II, Bassist III and Guitarist IV. Part of the charm is their anonymosity in many peoples opinion, mine included. They've got 3 full-lenght albums, this song as well as Ascensionism comes off their latest one "Take Me Back to Eden". BIG Recommendation would be to stay the HELL away from the song Euclid until you've heard more of their discography. Not gonna tell you why, just trust me on this. :) And yes, they've made up a sign-language for this album. You're completely right. *complete sidenote btw, but I saw in a different video that you both got some nice tattoos, I've got 6 Sleep Token ones, ranging from lyrics to artwork :) Much love from Sweden!
Some us get therapy from their music. The taking you away feeling to me feels like healing. A lot of their songs for me allow me to feel my feelings that i other wise cannot figure out how to express
My favorite song from sleep token is honestly the last song I've listened to by sleep token lol. So all of them. But the Summoning is another great starter. Although starting from the first song on sundowning is always a good choice as well. If you choose to go on the ride, you won't regret listening to their awesome trilogy of albums. They are intertwined like branches in a flood lol. Worship.
Touched by the Gods, starr the album from the beggining you guys are going to love it, and into the whole narrative of what's happening, all theories running around the web
My goodness, doing the whole sleep token journey is an undertaking, but a real cool one. Ive seen others do it, and many of us really enjoy seeing others experience it the way we all did the first time. If you want to postpone starting the full journey, ST has a few songs out there that were singles, not on an album. One of the best in my opinion is a cover of Outkast's 'Hey Ya'. VERY different rendition. There is also another called "The Way that You Were" from their early days that is very emotional and i know you guys would love!
To add my voice to what others are saying, HIGHLY recommend starting at their album Sundowning and listening to their entire discography in order. The three albums form a looping trilogy of sorts, where the last song on Take Me Back to Eden (Euclid) calls back very directly to the first song on Sundowning (The Night Does Not Belong To God). The narrative of these albums can be interpreted a few different ways, I don't think any one is better than the other. Except to say that there's an "intended" interpretation from the band so i guess that one is the most preferred. Regardless, Vessel is a master of lyricism and the production is top tier. Lyrically, sleep token songs are very good about bringing in themes from past songs and adding additional context to earlier parts of the story that aren't as clear when first heard. 10/10 recommend, and if you're like me and have a hard time hearing the lyrics through the music, I would DEFINITELY say to pull up the lyrics on another screen. Enjoy :D
Sleep Token is a deep rabbit hole! If you want another genre mix, the band that is opening for Sleep Token on their EU tour is Bilmuri. Check out their song EmptyHanded, or maybe Better Hell.
31 year old father of 2 girls here. You’re making me tear up with your reaction. It brings me back to my first time finding ST and realizing how much I needed their music. I will be here for every ST song you guys react to. Buckle up because you will never see music the same after listening to their catalog.
Sundowning, This place will become your tomb and Take me back to Eden is the name of the albums they have released. There is a story told throughout this trilogy. It's worth doing a full reaction on all of their songs. My favorites from the albums: Sundowning: The offering, The night does not belong to god, Higher and Bloodsport (the room below version is highly recommended!!) TPWBYT: Atlantic, Hypnosis, Alkaline and Missing limbs. Missing limbs gives me the feeling of being in a dimly lit room (like a dark pub), and Vessel is sitting on a barstool playing a song only for you. It just feels very personal. TMBTE: The entire album is goated, but if I have to chose, The summoning, Rain, Euclid, Chokehold and Vore. Vore being one of their heaviest songs.
At the end of this song you hear a call back to their song Chokehold from the same album. "When we were made, it was no accident." And "We were tangled up like branches in a flood." I would say you need to do Chokehold next but that's just me.
The way she describes how this song made her feel is exactly why I listen to metal. It's one of the only genres that gives me that feeling. It's almost like an adrenaline dump combined with the emotion that only truly great music can deliver. ❤
“Hey everyone - we got 2 more over here!” - 😜
Start from the beginning - don’t skip a song. Immerse in the journey.
starting from the beginning is definitely the way to go so they pick up on the lore
The way she feels music is incredible to see for someone who feels music the same way. Awesome reaction 10/10
I think we all ST fans can say - Please start from the very beginning!
Agreed.. Worship 🙏
Time to do the discography. Thrust me all of us sleep tokens fans will be honored to watch your reactions. Welcomeeee. To the band we don’t deserve but honored to have
honestly the whole album is a masterpiece from start to finish
Great reaction! Yes, they do have their own "alphabet," which they use for official social media announcements. I do recommend starting at the beginning and listening to their whole discography, as it does tell a "story" throughout.
I'm not sure how much info on the band you have been told. They hail from London. They are an anonymous masked collective of musicians.

they are not anonymous lol. Vessel is Leo Faulkner it’s been known for ages
@Alzoryne maybe since they're just getting started they might not want to know that spoiler.
Most people don't want to know who it is and intentionally choose to stay ignorant. Don't ruin it for people.
I'm pretty sure their alphabet is actually an old alphabet. Celtic or something. Every song on TPWBYT has a symbol that looks Celtic inspired as well.
Stop ruining it for everyone no one wants to know who they are because it is better that way and the band want to keep identify a mystery 🤦♂️
I'm absolutely so thrilled to see you guys start the sleep token journey- going through their entire discography might be a little much, but if you've even considering that A LITTLE- I'd like to vote for it!
I think we might have to 👀
i love watching people experience their songs for the first time, its special with sleep token
I also cant believe you knocked out Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden. You cant miss with this band in my opinion, every song has something special about it even tracks from previous albums.
please do a series of you guys listening to their discography from beginning, it's such an incredible thing to experience
So many people have the same feelings experiencing sleep token. I can’t even describe it but something about them just sucks you in. It’s almost like experiencing music for the first time. I’ve never encountered a band that I’ve become obsessed with so quickly. I have a lot of artists i really love but sleep token is just special and it’s crazy how so many people feel the same way.
Please do Telemeres. It's probably one of their most beautiful songs if not, the most beautiful song. ❤
best guitar solo of theirs. very underrated.
Loved your reaction! A few more of my favorites that I think you will enjoy are "The Apparition", "Are You Really Okay", and "Rain". 😊
That ending, live and in the pit, was amazing.
Gives me chills thinking back on it.
Take me back to that show
Welcome to your new favourite band 🙏🏻 Worship 🙌🏼
You forget they are a metal group until the end of this song 😂
More progressive metal, but yes, it is under the metal umbrella
That was amazing to watch. Thank you for letting me sit in on a Sleep Token reaction from an obviously awesome family. The joy is shared.
“No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence” ❤️🩹

Ditto ❤❤❤
The summoning next!!!!
One of my all time favourite song is "The Night Does Not Belong to God" which is the first song of their first album. You have to listen to it from the begining and I can promise you it's gonna be one of the best journey you've ever had.
HERE FOR THE SLEEP TOKEN JOURNEY 🤘🏽 happy to hear you guys enjoy it so much
This band achieved something very cool with their musical journey so far, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
I completely understand the feeling when listening to it. Especially for the first time.
I've listened to and even studied ALOT of music but this album really touches your soul.
I won't go too deep into it to avoid any spoilers though. You can't find everything out for yourselves!

Chokehold would be a great option for more Sleep Token and is directly related to this song. Two of the verses that sounds in the end of Take me back to Eden are the beginning of Chokehold.
Gravity, Rain and Euclid on this album are fantastic :)

Anticipation is the word you're looking for. Not anxiety. That's how I feel at least because there are so many twists and turns.
Drumeo Interview with II.
I can't wait for your journey. Tears.... I am calling it now.
Connor will love that. ii is one of the greatest drummers alive right now.
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
Sleep Token is amazing live. Go see them first chance.
Nice reaction! A few times I have just chilled with headphones in a dark room and just listened to their whole discography. Here for more! If you like the piano parts check out Atlantic, Aqua Regia, BloodSport from the room below. If you want to be transported (though all of their songs transport me lol) try Atlantic, Thread the Needle, The Offering, Levitate, Higher, Hypnosis, Like That, The Apparition and Euclid
I’m so excited for your reactions! It’s great seeing you two already fall in love with Sleep Token and their music. Can’t wait for more 😁
All of there songs are a masterpiece and definitely should dive into the band you will not be disappointed 🙏🏻😁
Worship!🙏🏼🤘🏼💕
I love that this hints at Euclid which reflects The Night Does Not Belong to God.
Ohh new Sleep Token Reachtion channel/series! This group (especially Vessel and II) are truly something special and changed my life. I hope you have a good time on this journey. Worship! 💜

Please listen to all three albums! It's a whole story and journey about Vessel and the Goddess. But welcome to the Cult!
Also.

when I hear and see him it makes me question my sexuality
Yessss! Time to go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole! It would be best to start from the very beginning with the EP’s, singles, and covers and then do the albums- Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb, and Take Me Back to Eden all in order because they all tie together and tell a story about loss, a toxic relationship, heartbreak, and trying to find self love and heal…it’s sad but very beautiful and Vessel’s writing is pure metaphoric poetry!

Like many have said start from begining, and dont miss those EP:s first, those have masterpieces inside
Girl has a most honest reaction ))
Thanks guys a lot
sleep token is my dinner, Dreamcatcher is my desert.. rumor is that Sleep Token is coming out w/ a new album next year!!
First video watching, avid Token fan.. Love it.

Sleep Token are British. The band is anonymous, they wear masks on stage and very rarely talk on stage/never do interviews (II Drumeo cameo excluded.) . Sleep Token consists of 4 known members; Singer Vessel, Drummer II, Bassist III and Guitarist IV. Part of the charm is their anonymosity in many peoples opinion, mine included.
They've got 3 full-lenght albums, this song as well as Ascensionism comes off their latest one "Take Me Back to Eden".
BIG Recommendation would be to stay the HELL away from the song Euclid until you've heard more of their discography. Not gonna tell you why, just trust me on this. :)
And yes, they've made up a sign-language for this album. You're completely right.

Some us get therapy from their music. The taking you away feeling to me feels like healing. A lot of their songs for me allow me to feel my feelings that i other wise cannot figure out how to express
you guys just started an amazing journey !!! injoy every moment !!!
❤ not my favorite genre but love you two so worth the watch 😊
My favorite song from sleep token is honestly the last song I've listened to by sleep token lol. So all of them. But the Summoning is another great starter. Although starting from the first song on sundowning is always a good choice as well. If you choose to go on the ride, you won't regret listening to their awesome trilogy of albums. They are intertwined like branches in a flood lol. Worship.
Please react to “The Apparition” next. SOOOO good. But then again, they’re all good aren’t they?!
Touched by the Gods, starr the album from the beggining you guys are going to love it, and into the whole narrative of what's happening, all theories running around the web
My goodness, doing the whole sleep token journey is an undertaking, but a real cool one. Ive seen others do it, and many of us really enjoy seeing others experience it the way we all did the first time. If you want to postpone starting the full journey, ST has a few songs out there that were singles, not on an album. One of the best in my opinion is a cover of Outkast's 'Hey Ya'. VERY different rendition. There is also another called "The Way that You Were" from their early days that is very emotional and i know you guys would love!
Amazing thank you for the recommendations! We’re so excited to check out more!
To add my voice to what others are saying, HIGHLY recommend starting at their album Sundowning and listening to their entire discography in order. The three albums form a looping trilogy of sorts, where the last song on Take Me Back to Eden (Euclid) calls back very directly to the first song on Sundowning (The Night Does Not Belong To God).
The narrative of these albums can be interpreted a few different ways, I don't think any one is better than the other. Except to say that there's an "intended" interpretation from the band so i guess that one is the most preferred.
Regardless, Vessel is a master of lyricism and the production is top tier. Lyrically, sleep token songs are very good about bringing in themes from past songs and adding additional context to earlier parts of the story that aren't as clear when first heard. 10/10 recommend, and if you're like me and have a hard time hearing the lyrics through the music, I would DEFINITELY say to pull up the lyrics on another screen. Enjoy :D
An amazing song. Great reaction!
this one and bloodsport are my all time favourites of them
Sleep Token is a deep rabbit hole! If you want another genre mix, the band that is opening for Sleep Token on their EU tour is Bilmuri. Check out their song EmptyHanded, or maybe Better Hell.
If you love these guys (incredible band) and want more go for tesseract. Trust me ❤
WORSHIP
31 year old father of 2 girls here. You’re making me tear up with your reaction. It brings me back to my first time finding ST and realizing how much I needed their music. I will be here for every ST song you guys react to. Buckle up because you will never see music the same after listening to their catalog.
More yes!! 🖤🖤
Favorite Sleep Token songs?? Hmmmm. I gotta say ALL of them!
Also you folks should checkout Bad Omens - The Death of Peace of Mind anything off the album.
Love seeing video reactions from sleep token ! Alkaline next !
Sundowning, This place will become your tomb and Take me back to Eden is the name of the albums they have released. There is a story told throughout this trilogy. It's worth doing a full reaction on all of their songs.
My favorites from the albums:
Sundowning: The offering, The night does not belong to god, Higher and Bloodsport (the room below version is highly recommended!!)
TPWBYT: Atlantic, Hypnosis, Alkaline and Missing limbs. Missing limbs gives me the feeling of being in a dimly lit room (like a dark pub), and Vessel is sitting on a barstool playing a song only for you. It just feels very personal.
TMBTE: The entire album is goated, but if I have to chose, The summoning, Rain, Euclid, Chokehold and Vore. Vore being one of their heaviest songs.
If you love piano: Atlantic
Nice reaction guys 👊...cheers 🍻😎
Thank you 🙌
At the end of this song you hear a call back to their song Chokehold from the same album. "When we were made, it was no accident." And "We were tangled up like branches in a flood." I would say you need to do Chokehold next but that's just me.
Sugar is one of my favorites!!!
I literally check your channel every day to see if there's more Sleep Token lol. You guys need a Sleep Token Sunday
What a perfect day to...
~worship
Must - Is It Really You? - Sleep Token and Loathe.
It's a cover of the original that Loathe wrote and Vessel does the new orchestration and vocals.
