      @@TheAlanFish Agreed! They take so many familiar elements and mash it together in such a way as to make it entirely and uniquely theirs, and I love that about Sleep Token. The metal stans can bicker about whether this is "real metal" or not all they want; as someone who has been metal for longer than most of those sorts have been alive, Sleep Token is more than OK by me.

    This band is the best thing that I came across in 2023. And the drumeo interview video with the drummer of this band is the next best thing on my list. You might want to check that out to get some insight on their songs.
    Generally their songs are pretty chill, but have some heavier sections mixed in. I think The Summoning went crazy viral because that heavy opening section is so sick.

If you just want to hear what I consider the highlights that show their range I would recommend (again just my humble opinion)
    Sundowning Album: The Offering**, Gods (one of their hardest songs), Sugar
    Single: Blood Sport from the room below** (just Vessel and a piano (Vessel is lead singer, poet and one of two members that composes the songs, the other is the drummer known as ii (that’s “Two”))
    TPWBYT (This place will become your tomb) Album: Atlantic**, Hypnosis**, Like That, Alkaline**, Missing Limbs
    Single: Is It Really You (collab with Loathe)
    TMBTE (Take me back to Eden) Album: Chokehold**, The Summoning** (which you just listened to), Aqua Regia**, Vore (another harder song),Ascensionism**, The Apparition**, Rain, Take Me Back To Eden**, Euclid**

    I've also only recently discovered Sleep Token, and was about as blown away as you were, when you shot this video (haven't seen any of your other videos on Sleep Token yet, as I'm writing this).
    I love discovering new music all the time - but with Sleep Token it was different. But WOW!!!!! I can't exactly put my finger on why it felt different, and more "right". I just love how the musical style of Sleep Token seems to be "Both-and, and neither-nor", because it's so "Everything and all over the place", while still managing not to become "confusing". Does that make any sense at all???? 🤔😂 Anyway......... The entire "Take me back to eden" album is... 🥰 But you probably already know that by now. 😉
    But definitely check out some of their older stuff too, like "Alkaline", "The Offering", "Like That", "Hypnosis"..... Well, just f'n EVERYTHING!!!!!! 🤘😉

    Hell yes, amazing stuff. This album is going straight into my to-listen list too. I love the variety, going to check out what else they can bring.
    Funny story: I had a professor for Stereovision Techniques back at uni in 2006. Old dude, must have been approaching 60, awesome teacher. Would always bring these awesome stereovision toys from throughout the ages. So when Tool's 10,000 Days came out, and it had a stereovision thing on the deluxe version, I bought a second copy and gave one to him. He loved it as a toy, and he even liked the music. He's the last other person I can think of that also referred to metal as "metal music".
    Sadly, I don't think he ever said "f*ck me gently with a chainsaw", though.

The metal part of the song while sounding like so many other modern metal bands (Spiritbox or Tesseract come to mind) still sounds amazing, but the most interesting thing is how they combine different genres together.

Plus Two on the drummers is a tasteful monster that is just as easy to get lost in listening to as the vocals. I'd highly suggest their song Bloodsport, specifically the (From the room below) version to get a striped down focus on Vessel's emotional delivery. So far for me at least, they don't miss anything from their catalogue is solid choice!

    Ok, as an older multi instrument rock/metal musician, I can not stop listening to them since giving in last week.
    My daughter tried to turn me on to them last year and ... I was stubborn.
    At the moment this band has me emotionally crippled.
    This is going to be great watching you fall like the rest of us......
    Sleep Token is a special one.
    Great reaction, I can't wait to see which tune you do next, and they do NOT have a bad song.

    @imcrazedandconfused 11 месяцев назад +1

    Now, I really get, why people like Sleep Token. Because they don't listen enough to Periphery, early and latest Spiritbox and Jinjer.
    OK, that was a bit too hard. I also, for some reason I can not even describe ... OK, most probably it's their fantastic vocals or their really progressive songwriting and some fantastic ideas they have.... like the band Crystal Lake from Japan. But really, most metalcore bands have a very original sound. The sound of Periphery. Yupp. Very creative. Esp. if you know, that Periphery does f*cking everything themselves, songwriting, arranging, recording, mixing, producing, marketing, their own label ... And they all have daytime jobs. So their music never gets corrupted - they don't HAVE TO make money with it. They just do what they fucking want, no matter if people like it or not. It reminds me of the scene in Life of Brian, when he says to all his followers something like "You don't have to follow anybody, you have to think for yourselves, you are all individuals!" and they answer in a choir "We are all individuals!" (except one, who screams "I'm not!". This is how I generally see the metalcore genre. And that's really sad in a way. There ARE talented guys there. But they should do more original things. IMHO, that's maybe the reason, that I know a bit more about deathcore than metalcore. I just got interested in metalcore, when I heard some Periphery, Spiritbox and Crystal Lake. Most metalcore leaves me ... bored.
    So now, why am I not amazed by Sleep Token? Obviously, the result is really good.
    Well, it is too many "influences" (cough) in it. For sure, you got, that much of the rhythm stuff is really very, VERY close to Tool. And why we are at it - some stuff in the vocals is also VERY close to what Maynard does. Really, really close in some parts. Well, I like Tool. But you get the point. The sounds in metalcore generally are VERY influenced by Periphery (which are very influenced by Meshuggah, but that's OK, they put very much of their own sauce into it, so they are far from copying.) Sometimes I can not tell two metalcore bands from each other if I hear songs of them right one after the other. And yes - that's hardly creative.
    There are exceptions in this genre. I mentioned Periphery, Spiritbox (latest stuff, early singles and EP, The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sounds was like a REVELATION to me, of how good metalcore COULD be as a genre) and Crystal Lake.
    Yupp, there is some really good stuff out there. But they are really exceptions. It's generally not those bands, that all sound like Periphery or Spiritbox or... and use these hard 80s effects (yeah, I mean pop music), Tool stuff, a pinch of jazz, so everybody knows they went to college or have at least some taste and education, autotune (yeah, the HARD effect, that everyone should hate)...
    I know that Periphery does all that. But the f'ck they kind of defined the standards and pushed the borders all the time until today, so they get away with EVERYTHING for me, literally. Including murder. Okay. Thats a joke. Probably. (Ask your hubby - I guess he likes / loves them very much, Because he has musical taste. LOL)
    Yepp, for sure not my most beloved genre. And most probably I do injustice, in this case especially to Sleep Token, because they actually did what I wrote, but they did it really well and are definitely in the top league of the genre....
    But I think you got the point. And while I am at it, I stress some points again, let's call them "recommendations", but you can also call them parts of my music bible (and I am atheist!), as there are
    Spiritbox - The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound
    Yeah, it's long, it's a conceptual trilogy, but it's worth it every f'cking second, and I only heard ONE person I recommended it to ever said something different than that it's absolutely genius, a metalcore opera, a revelation, life-changing experience etc. etc. etc. And no, that's not a joke or exaggeration. And I recommended this to MANY people. For a while to literally EVERYONE. Hey, they are not "perfect" in this performance. But they do it all right. They showed off right from the start, what they are capable of. And that was really impressive. After I heard it, I was blown away, dropped some tears (really) and was totally sure that they will become really, really great and probably famous if they just have a LITTLE bit of luck. And I am very happy that exactly this happened.
    Periphery "Blood Eagle" and "Wildfire" (My personal song of the year 2023, and I somehow knew that like two weeks after it came out in early spring - because it is hard to beat by ANYTHING this year in terms of creativity, taste, originality, production and fun.)
    Yeah.
    Another novel by me.
    Sorry.
    Have a fantastic week and lots of fun with whatever you do and
    keep up with what you are doing. Still LOVE your videos.
    All the best regards, my wonderful Scottish dudette!

    Your comment at 9:17 when you said "F*ck me gently with a chainsaw...", my only thought was "Don't worry, hun. It's coming." Then it hit, and you made the SAME FACE we all made lol. I loved it! Check out "Granite", "Chokehold", or "Take Me Back to Eden" on this album as well. But from their past albums, "Dark Signs" is a great one from their Sundowning album, and "Alkaline" or "The Love You Want" (my personal fave) from their This Place Will Become Your Tomb album. That's mostly if you really love the clean vocals/melodic sound. If you're looking for something bit harder from them (vocal wise), "Vore" and "Gods" are good ones.

    If you like this eclectic and unpredictable yet melodic style, I must suggest "Let The Truth Speak" by the band Earthside, which uses odd time signatures, soaring melodies and a string accompaniment as well as Dan Tompkins, singer of Tesseract, backed up by Gennady Tkachenko-Papizh who is an opera singer. I recommend the official video for fullest effect. It's about as epic as epic gets. Cheers.

    The thing Sleep Token does is throw people sonic curve balls. I wouldn't call them as wildly eclectic as, say, Frank Zappa, but they do mix their genres freely. I think they are good enough at writing songs that the tracks will remain engaging even after the novelty of their method wears off.

    I cant help but think Messa would be totally up your alley considering you used to title your videos "soul singer" , Sara the lead singer of Messa has a really soulful voice in my opinion , mix that with some classic doomy riffs and a little bit of wackyness and u have a recipe for success. If you wanna check them out live try Hour of the Wolf live at hellfest 2019 , the quality is really good even for a video taken by an audience member, or just try Pilgrim a single from their most recent album.

Personally I do not like R'n'b, jazz and rap.. but when ST does it -Its Hella good!! ❤ But the one thing all tracks have in common are emotions. They can make me cry SO HARD 🥹 And that is why I love them. Shout out to Will Ramos from Lorna Shore to point me in the right direction. I am now a hard boiled Sleep Token worshiper 🙌❤️ Listen to Atlantic or Euclid. Remember kleenex

    Welp, now that you found Sleep Token, I really recommend you go and listen to their first album called Sundowning. Not just because it’s all good music but also because the songs on the new album get a little…. Lore sensitive towards the end of it. Regardless listen to the songs in any order you want but all I ask is before you listen, or if you listen to Euclid, go back and listen to all of their early stuff first. It hits so much harder if you do.
