I cant believe no one has suggested "Sugar" by Sleep Token yet. His voice is so powerful towards the end, and the buildup is so well done. Sugar is definitely a much more linear song, but god does it slap.
I can never listen to this song without closing my eyes and swaying especially everything from the line "beneath a stormy sea" it's just so smooth and Vessels voice is just 👌
This band is honestly something else, from the captivating atmospheric dream-like beauty to the intense breakdowns. Vessel's voice is incredible and the drums are pretty crazy when you focus on them during those breakdowns. I'm glad you and so many others can relate to how I feel about these lads. Truly insane. A couple of my favourites I'd suggest listening to are Jaws and The Offering.
I find sleep tokens song actually quite "healing" i havent found a band like sleep token where ive connected with each song they've made! Anyone else feel the same?
As far as the lore goes, Vessel's lyrics all revolve around a deity called Sleep, who he met in a dream and creates music as a form of worship. There is some talk of Sleep being another form of an ancient Norse goddess (I forget which one), so it seems the lyrics are about Vessel's relationship with Her. The brilliant thing about his writing is that it can be interpreted many ways, so the average person can relate to it, even if we've never been caught in the grip of an ancient deity.
Some songs on the second half of the new album really resonate with me as breakup/love/relationship themed songs. So this goddess has to be something man 😂
@@lorkhan610I have used so many sleep token lyrics to help describe my trauma emotions to my therapist when we discuss my abusive ex. Most recently, Higher.
aaahhh the music is a worship to sleep, that explains the boringness of the song.... guess if a musician is not able to make something exceptional, theese days it´s enough, to make up a nice story to cover the lack of good musicianship....
@@ohno8262 why would i ? it´s just plain boring music.... well if you like to get bored into sleep by the music you listen to, good for you.... i prefer music, that fires up my emotions... and still their musicianship is lacking.... and what has that to do with success? look at the charts... 85% there extensively lack real talent... maybe you don´t like, that someone just told you the truth about one of your favorite bands...
Alright! So, Ahem..: The offering Blood sport (From the room below) Sugar Granite higher The love you want Jaws Is it really you (cover of a Loathe song) Which can be a good segway into Loathe How far down the Worship hole ya gonna go alex. xD
Have never heard of this band before so I decided to listen to something I’ve never heard of & to be honest I expected to not like it, but what a surprise! I really like this & will have to explore them further! Great song!
They do have a variety of sound, from intense songs like "Vore" to calming tracks like "Aqua Regia", so if one song doesn't work, set it aside and try the others if you liked this track. I'd personally recommend "Granite" and "Alkaline" as they have the closest sound to Chokehold
Everybody, ignore the reply above me, it's not actually alex and is a scam. You can tell when it's a scam due to the fact that the channel name has telegram in it and the use of emoji's. Don't reply to messages like that as a general rule.
YEEEESSSSS😍😍 ALEX! You have to check out Will Ramos' (from Lorna Shore) cover of this. Its one of his favorite bands and I share his enthusiasm haha. Bahahaha the plant part, tho, dude. You kick ass, always. #stillfangirling #hefnersquadforlife #metalhead
ST are my and many other people's favourite band for great reason! I would love to see a reaction rabbit hole just like you did with Bad Omens, I don't even mind if it's the only thing we see for a week lol!
FINALLY!!! I've been stuck in a ST black hole since I learned about their existence last year. Can't even listen to much other music anymore. It has been such a wonderful journey to experience every song from the early beginnings to the latest releases from the upcoming album and it has also been very therapeutic for me. Every song has lyrics that hit a bullseye somewhere, giving me so much to think about when I can't sleep. Every time I listen, I am able to hear more, go deeper, and get completely devoured by the music. I have never experienced this with any other band. Ever. Yes, I'm obsessed. Do I care? No. I'm just waiting for the May 19 album release. That's all I care about right now. lol
@@belowtheasteroids784 Crying during Euclid?!?!?! I started crying during the 1st verse of Ascensionism. On & off until the bitter-sweet end. Damn, this hit so fucking hard. Was afraid of this. A whole lot more shadow work for me in the coming months ... Things I buried low are coming to the surface now ... which ties in nicely with SUGAR that was suggested in one of the comments below. And yes, MASTERPIECE indeed. Vessel's voice is getting better and better, too. It was so so so so amazing already.
I had the pleasure of seeing Sleep Token in Australia just over a week ago and they actually opened with this song. Now, I've seen a lot of live music in my life, but nothing compares to the atmosphere that I experienced that night. Pure, haunting beauty. Worship!
i love sleep token, the music they put out is both creative and subversive. their music is also complex but not for complexities sake, everything has its place and it makes the music so captivating.
Vessel has the best voice that I've discovered this year 😻 His vocal range is insane, and I watched their live performances, which were fucking amazing ❤❤❤❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 Their recent releases of Granite, Aqua Regia are so good, really caught me off guard 😂
Yeah it blows my mind how well they blend stuff together. If they become the next biggest band for the next 10 years. The future of music is in good hands 🙌
U gotta check out Aqua Regia, The Love You Want, and Fall For Me. COMPLETELY different vibes from the ones you've checked out so far and rly show their versatility.
I think their 2 newest songs are the epitome of the breadth of their abilities. To release Vore and then follow it with DYWTYLM is absolute musical whiplash but they both feel like exactly what this band should be doing. Going back to the beginning of their catalog thru to now you can see both an evolution and an absolute loyalty to their own sound. They are my absolute favorite discovery.
I love sleep token but PLEASE do a video on Will Ramos’s cover of this track it’s fan-fucking-tastic. In true will fashion it takes an already amazing track and adds an intensity only he can offer.
brother, the new album comes out on the 19th just do reactions to the whole thing 😂 its already my frontrunner for album of the year based off what they been releasing off it
Alkaline is another great one from the band. Also, Will Ramos did a cover of Chokehold. While not the original, it's definitely a harder version of the song worthy of a listen!
Oh. My dude. Sleep Token has completely shifted my musical taste TENFOLD. May I suggest Nazareth, Granite, The Offering, or Sugar for your next experience with them? My brain has never been the same!
I recommend checking out next! Higher The offering Granite Aqua regia High water Alkaline Atlantic Their my top picks of sleep token songs you should check out! All their songs hit different man! Good luck going down into their rabbit hole!
If there is any band to do a shit ton of reactions to its sleep token. The offering, atlantic, granite, alkaline, telomeres, higher, my boyfriend would say include bloodsport and the love you want but seriously their whole discography is so fucking sick
Alex, many won’t suggest a reaction for their cover of Hey Ya but please listen to it even just for yourself. Also highly recommend Jaws and Atlantic as reactions. 🖤
They are very British - my son knows them. In fact, he was at their very first show in Islington and is on the guest list for a couple of US shows later this year.
And that's perfectly okay, not every sound is for every ear. I like the stroyteller/atmospheric vibe Sleep Token has, but there are songs like Vore and Aqua Regia that I don't really care for. It's just what you prefer
Been a fan since their first record. I knew they'd blow up eventually. I go where the talent is. They're a refreshing addition to a very dull scene right now.
I cant believe no one has suggested "Sugar" by Sleep Token yet. His voice is so powerful towards the end, and the buildup is so well done. Sugar is definitely a much more linear song, but god does it slap.
Sugar is an insane song and the ending is love making music at its best
I was just about to say Sugar lol It is so damn sexy
Ahhhh yeesss true so true
Telomeres 🔥🔥
Absolutely. That was the next song i was going to recommend here. 👍
Now you have to do the cover Will Ramos did of Chokehold so fire 🔥🔥🔥
Yes yes yes!!!!
This!
Was going to comment this same thing.
Same here!
no joke
You’ve gotta check out Will Ramos’ cover of this!
First time hearing this band and wow loving this song and the singers voice. Sounds haunting
Welcome, enjoy the serotonin overdose that is their back catalogue rabbit hole.
🤘🤘
I hope you end up checking out more of them and liking them. Particularly The Summoning (which Alex also has a reaction for)
@@danidynamite2 yes i will do. Thank u
The entire “Sundowning” album is a masterpiece. “The Offering” and “Higher” are two of my favorite songs now. Of all time. By any band. Easy.
I listen to Offering every day bro.
“Sugar” would like a word with you.
you need to listen to more music
Such a great album! 🙌🏼
The offering is THE song that represent ST the best imo
You MUST check out will ramos' cover of this! You'll be a changed man!
You should react to Will Ramos's cover to this song. Keep up the great work brother.
Please do a reaction to Carnifex - Die Without Hope! I'm surprised you've never reacted to Carnifex before they're amazing!
I can never listen to this song without closing my eyes and swaying especially everything from the line "beneath a stormy sea" it's just so smooth and Vessels voice is just 👌
Will Ramo's cover of this song is phenomenal and you should check it as well 🤘🏼🤘🏼 much love brother Alex.
I was about to correct you and say he already did, but it was to hypnosis 😂
Love will ramos version better
no
@@El_Gordo_Chechy yes
@@enterjudas8543 no ☺
Go do a reaction to Will Ramos' version - it'll blow your mind even more!!
they’re truly amazing. i’ve been following them for a minute now and they never cease to amaze me. and i know many people can ageee with me on this.
Please react to Will Ramos doing the vocal cover of this
Everyone I show this band to instantly falls in love with them, they just have a quality about them that can't be explained
They’re very contagious and entrancing bc I’ve had the same experience showing people 😂 they’re supernatural man it’s crazy
This band is honestly something else, from the captivating atmospheric dream-like beauty to the intense breakdowns. Vessel's voice is incredible and the drums are pretty crazy when you focus on them during those breakdowns. I'm glad you and so many others can relate to how I feel about these lads. Truly insane.

Agreed 100% well said. I would def recommend listening to the offering. Or blood sport (from the room below)
I find sleep tokens song actually quite "healing" i havent found a band like sleep token where ive connected with each song they've made! Anyone else feel the same?
Alex, go to 6:28 and listen to the lyrics while watching the "creature" turn into the light. I love those small easter eggs ❤
Also those tears started to fall at a certain point.
The Love You Want, Jaws, Dark Signs, Aqua Regia are musts
Edit: and both versions of Bloodsport
As far as the lore goes, Vessel's lyrics all revolve around a deity called Sleep, who he met in a dream and creates music as a form of worship.

Alright! So, Ahem..:
The offering
Blood sport (From the room below)
Sugar
Granite
higher
The love you want
Jaws
Is it really you (cover of a Loathe song) Which can be a good segway into Loathe
How far down the Worship hole ya gonna go alex. xD

@@jadeH23.16 I certainly will….thanks!
@@deborahfoster5520 awesome great to hear!
I think you’ll really dig “Sugar,” by Sleep Token, Alex.. Total baby-makin’ music.
Day 7 I think of asking you to react to made in Russia by slaughter to prevail
You gotta check out will ramos' of lorna shore's cover of this song. It is pure brilliance.

Nice! Talking about sleeping on a band, you haven't reacted to Liliac ( Lilly-Ack ) yet! Try their metal cover of 7 Nation Army, give them a chance
love the video!! blood sport is an incredible song that got me to tears a few times during rough periods. please can you do a reaction on it?

U gotta check out Aqua Regia, The Love You Want, and Fall For Me. COMPLETELY different vibes from the ones you've checked out so far and rly show their versatility.
I absolutely get your "magnetism" reference! I've never heard a bad Sleep Token song! You gotta try "Granite" next!!!!
you MUUUUUSSSTTTT!!! react to Will Ramos Chokehold Cover 🔥🔥🔥
Chokehold is my favorite Sleep Token song. Followed by DYWTYLM & The Summoning.
Hearing this band for the first time now and... feels like I need to take a journey into making music
I think their 2 newest songs are the epitome of the breadth of their abilities. To release Vore and then follow it with DYWTYLM is absolute musical whiplash but they both feel like exactly what this band should be doing.

Try Aqua Regia from them, mindlowing ..!! :)
Sleep Token is like an ASMR-type band.
I think Missing Limbs isnt talked about enough. Its so simple yet so so pretty!
Granite, Higher & The Offering are I think great ones to check out next!!
My personal favorite of theirs is “High Water”
High Water goes hard. My favourite is Mine
Yes.. you got it. *Obsessed with this band.*
Chokehold 🖤
Im with Will Ramos - This is my favourite ST offering
You are ok, don't worry😁 We are all normally hypnotysed by Sleep Token😂.
First! Love sleep token so much Alex!🤘 Glad to see you reacting to them more!
"I can't describe what is happening but my body just does things" Worship :)
You need now to react to Will Ramos cover of this song
Your comments ring true with the thoughts and emotions of all of us who have discovered this enigmatic and splendiferous band.
brother, the new album comes out on the 19th just do reactions to the whole thing 😂 its already my frontrunner for album of the year based off what they been releasing off it
Granite, The Offering, Alkaline, Aqua Regia. They're all different and all just fantastic
Alkaline is another great one from the band. Also, Will Ramos did a cover of Chokehold. While not the original, it's definitely a harder version of the song worthy of a listen!
Oh. My dude. Sleep Token has completely shifted my musical taste TENFOLD. May I suggest Nazareth, Granite, The Offering, or Sugar for your next experience with them? My brain has never been the same!
They definitely got the game on lock right now
I recommend checking out next!
Higher
The offering
Granite
Aqua regia
High water
Alkaline
Atlantic
Their my top picks of sleep token songs you should check out! All their songs hit different man! Good luck going down into their rabbit hole!
If there is any band to do a shit ton of reactions to its sleep token. The offering, atlantic, granite, alkaline, telomeres, higher, my boyfriend would say include bloodsport and the love you want but seriously their whole discography is so fucking sick
My brother. You HAVE to check out Will Ramos's cover of this song. It is FIRE
People consistently sleep on the song “Take Aim” it embodies almost everything that is amazing about this band.
Alex, many won’t suggest a reaction for their cover of Hey Ya but please listen to it even just for yourself. Also highly recommend Jaws and Atlantic as reactions. 🖤
now do the Wil Ramos cover.
Go Back to album "One" and "Two" or some of the early singles. Please dont get stuck on the new stuff
You need to hear Hypnosis or Levitate or Blood Sport. The singles youve listened to so far do not do this band justice.
you do know Will did a vocal cover of this aswell right? I do prefer his vocal cover more than the original ngl XD
Atlantic….just listen to atlantic
Thanks for showing ST some love ❤
Heard about Sleep Token because of Will Ramos of Lorna Shore
Id love for you to check out Sugar! You get to hear a whole other side of Vessel's vocal range!
Check out the Will Ramos cover of Hypnosis 🤘🤘
The comedic editing especially at the start is fucking priceless 😂
Keep it up!
Sleep Token are bloody British apparently
They are very British - my son knows them. In fact, he was at their very first show in Islington and is on the guest list for a couple of US shows later this year.
his cadence really sounds like Dan Reynolds from imagine dragons
Highly Suspect meets Bad Wolves??
the comments are going to say some of their best songs to checkout already but Will Ramos' covers of these are absolutely incredible
Will ramos' cover of this song is equally spectacular
You should check out Will Ramos' cover of this song.
Sleep token - Imagine dragon learn to use musical instrument
Id love the next few videos to just all be sleep token its amazing
The first drop into the chorus is MASSIVE on a good pair of headphones.
'SUGAR' ITS A CHEFS KISS ONE
'TELOMERES' IS THE MOST ROMANTIC SONG EVER
It’s a necessity that you listen to Will Ramos’s cover now
Now you should check out the cover by Will Ramos
This band literally has rocked my fking world. Life has been changed for me. I love them SO fking much
i still don't get them tbh
And that's perfectly okay, not every sound is for every ear. I like the stroyteller/atmospheric vibe Sleep Token has, but there are songs like Vore and Aqua Regia that I don't really care for. It's just what you prefer
Will Ramos does a cover of this also. It is amazing!
"I can't describe what's happening, but my body just does things" pretty much sums up listening to Sleep Token I think 🖖
I love this band so much. Alkaline is my favorite personally but their whole discography is amazing.
they give such chills it’s crazy. music is not dead. this song proves it
You are making sense. Pick any track, they are all over the place genre wise. Atmospheric, great musicianship, they take you to another place.
This band are bloody brilliant end off 🙏❤️
My grandma loves to twerk to Sleep Token
Great reaction Alex! Now you have to watch Will Ramos' cover of this song. It is as epic as the original
Aqua regia!! The summoning!! Granite!!!!
Now you gotta react to Will Ramos cover!!!
Sleep Token is the fucking best! Can’t wait to see them in September!
I’ll be seeing them in September as well! Can’t wait 🤘🏽
Been a fan since their first record. I knew they'd blow up eventually. I go where the talent is. They're a refreshing addition to a very dull scene right now.
Wish he would do Will Ramos cover too on this video.
