Vessel must have been a choirboy when he was younger-he’s got the voice of an angel, but you just know he was sneaking in a little doom and gloom between hymns.
A interesting note to add that gets mentioned sometimes is. either by design or happy accident. There is heavy symbolism to the moon. a Apple. all things from the last album. the Moon is often refered to as the Egg of creation. Its roots in birth and rebirth. And the apple is a clear reference to the struggles in the garden of Eden. All things in the video. Could be crazy to think that this had all been planned from the start. Or something that shaped the journey.
Great comment! He’s clearly an Hermeticist and I’m here for it. The symbolism of his masks suggests some affiliation with Hermes/Mercury. I need a replica of that mask.
1st Ep 1. Thread the Needle 2. Fields of Elation 3. When the bough breaks Ep 2 1. Calcutta 2. Nazareth 3. Jericho single Jaws, the way that you were, is it really you featuring Loathe and last single I wanna dance with somebody 2020 single for sundowning. Looking forward to your reactions as I always am.
I'm so happy to see you ladies and reacting to the first two eps.Just wait these songs are incredible and so important to the story of vessel.Jericho is pure magic..Worship 🙏
It's crazy how this whole song is sung in a higher register or falsetto (head voice) for the most part. The more Sleep Token goes on you hear more lows, which is interesting cause all the stuff I heard from Blacklit Canopy (his earlier project) is almost all falsetto accompanying a female lead vocal.
It's amazing to see Vessel's, or the man behind Vessel, voice evolution.. This is an amazing progression from pre-Sleep Token to the beginning of Sleep Token. He used to use those falsettos much more than his well-known lower range voice. This song is a perfect example.
Interesting symbolic explanation of the mask. It resembles the rod of Asclepius which is used on ambulances and hospitals as medicine was inherently tied in with spirituality at the time of its formative period. It also resembles the number 5 if you see the entire mask. That is the number that represents Mercury = Hermes. Vessel is such a hermetic wonder. Absolutely amazing. Worship.
Their EP's are easily some of the best out there! The third song on this one, When the Bough Breaks, is easily one of my favorite ST songs. You guys are gonna love these EPs! 👍👍
The EPs are a good change of pace, definitely shows how much they evolved afterwards. Also here to request once again The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town. I would love for you both to go through the Act albums all the way through since the story and music are both amazing and emotional.
I believe in this EP it was just Vessel and it wasn’t until the second EP that II joins him and becomes a part of the band. These EP’s are all great, it shows a true evolution and growth in the band and in both Vessel and II and it’s amazing Fields of Elation and Nazareth are two personal favorites of the EPs
no II has been there since the beginning, they have lost tapes in which they played 4 songs from both eps for a radio program it also has a female backing vocalist with them
Can't wait for you guy's reaction to Nazareth and Jericho
Oh and the video for Calcutta? Ooooh boy. 🔥
EP TWO!
The entire second EP is some of their best work
@djking1702 I've been saying this for years.
Agreed. Nazareth is my all time favorite ST song- I love their whole discography but something about Nazareth just scratches my brain right

Calcutta off of the 2 EP is a sensational track. Also includes a partial face reveal 😮 x
Thank you! I love Calcutta! It's not appreciated enough x
@@bethmetal66 im trying to get them to react to it as well. back me up ya'll :)
Yessss!! I’m dying for them to get to Calcutta!
Calcutta is a hidden gem. Amazing!
@@kevinbaldwin640 Haha I think they'll finish One and start Two, then we'll get Calcutta. We need patience little one lol! x

Calcutta and the video will be the surprise I think. I love his voice in that! Looking forward to you guys hearing that!

i cant wait for you to get to Calcutta - its one of my favorites
I have to say, I think hearing the entire discography, I believe this is my favourite, right behind Higher and Hypnosis. 💖💖
I love it when folks kick it back to OG Sleep Token and realize they've always been "them" 😅
Calcutta soon, lets go!
The early Sleep Token EPs are great. This song is wild. Loved your reaction.

This bough has broken through

What a great first song. Think Vessel was about 23yrs old when this ep came out.
The EP's are great. Shows great evolution!
This EP is how I discovered them. And I can't wait for you guys to react to the song Jaws. It's in my top 3 favorites still to this day.
Jaws already has a reaction video!! It's the only song not on an ST album that they've done a reaction to!
I believe in this EP it was just Vessel and it wasn’t until the second EP that II joins him and becomes a part of the band.

My kids going to school early means I get to see this as early as possible. Love it ❤
💜💜💜
When the Bough breaks next please. It's off of their first EP as well.
Oohhh I missed that you guys didn't do the EP's. It's going to be a short, but sweet & wild ride 🙌
❤ you guys! ❤
💜💜
Jericho and Calcuttaa are perfect too
Yay! Love your ST reactions! ❤
Wowww ❤
Wassup ❤ worship ❤ music🎵is🔮magic
Just as a note two doesn't join vessel till ep "two" so he's solo to my knowledge till then.
II is a founding member so yes that’s him drumming on this EP
@jamesschultz8260 oh darn, was it writing? I read something like that, but if it's untrue, sorry!
He was played the drums on ep One, parts that Vessel wrote. He began writing the drum parts in ep Two.
Oh man can't wait for Jaws!
They've already done it a while ago
@Dearden91 oh shit and I watched it too lol. Been here since they started but couldn't remember the few they covered before they started the trilogy.
OMG! So good!
i really hope that they would re release their EPs combinet in pack, its impossible to find them physical anywhere
One EP was limited to 50 pieces.. there would be a miracle to find it anywhere
you ladies should to more Dayseeker, you should listen to The Earth Will Turn
Can't wait for your reactions to Calcutta ❤
The first 2 EPs were way more doom, edgy, dark sounding and experimental IMO before we got Jaws and Sundowning. Still a couple good tracks!
still waiting on calcutta as well :P
im looking through the comments. lots of calcutta requests :)
II joins in next EP
I'm still requesting drum videos from II!
Y’all need to react to Blacklit Canopy when he was just a youngin
Graves is incredible
You both look beautiful as always your friend Scott from Saint Louis Missouri aka scottiedont75
Hey Scott! Glad to see ya checking in! Hope you have a Merry Christmas if we don’t see ya before then! 💜😊-D
The video represents Vessel's first encounter with Sleep and where his obsession begins
Theres some songs on the EPs I'd love to hear remastered and recorded again. Especially "When the bough breaks"
