@@METALBIRB A lot of the bands that have been in the game for a while are still releasing bangers, but there aren't a ton of new bands that have something new to offer.
Interlude (also sweating): “Where on earth do we go from here?” Ending section starts (stank face, sweating profusely): “WHAT?! Ohhh, this is sexy!” Song ends (out of breath, senses return): “…wait, how did I get naked?!”
Definitely a contender for best song they've released to date. So varied, so heavy, still gorgeous and sexy as hell. And so cohesive! Still can't believe it. The hype train has exploded out the station. Worship.
Ive always told fellow musicians that you cant be afraid to mix genres, feels, grooves, etc and Sleep Token just put on a master class on making multiple genres work within one song
My favorite thing about all these reactions to this song is so many people want it to go heavy at the end but they go sexy and everyone just vibes with it.
Sleep Token is next level. They take music genres and expectations, and throw them out the window in favor of creating something beautiful, perfectly written, and outside the box. Like what genre is this? Metalcore, djent, thall. But also FUNK? Like. 2023 is Sleep Token year, no other band is gonna beat this album.
I’m not a prog head at all but even i can agree that this song was so sexy… actually it’s better than sex also I like how every reactor is losing their sanity over these two new Sleep Token tracks. Schluck.
Some interesting influences in this one. Deftones in the chorus 100%, MAJOR Gunship vibes with the 80s style solo and synth work, Messhugah and Vildhjarta in the breakdowns, 90s r&b in the funk down. I immediately thought of Genuine-Pony when I heard it 😂
This song live is next level. I've never FELT a song quite like this. I felt this song down to the very cells that make up my body. The tour for this album was hands down the best concert I've ever been to
I thought that Periphery would easily take my album of the year... Holy hell... Sleep Token subverted I think ALL of our expectations in the best way possible.
It’s like they’re edging you the entire song. They give you what you want maybe 2 times, and all other times leaves you in suspense so that the brain tickling madness hits harder.
I think these songs are what folks were expecting from "This Place Will Become Your Tomb", which is a record I absolutely love, but THIS feels like a proper follow-up to Sundowning.
This song showcases Vessel's vocal skills so well! And his screams! Yes! The last 2 minutes - damn! Was at a ritual in September and hoping they come back to the states soon. Worship! (schluk)
I love your reactions! You're as giddy as I am about this, Sleep Token has definitely earned their place in my top five since The Offering. And "are they killing the final boss right now?" 🤣😂 Shluuuuckkk 10/10 for The Summoning for me 😄
Seeing them again on the 17th Jan and really hope these two make the setlist. Super excited for the full Take Me Back To Eden album. Hopefully we get a release date soon.
Never really paid too much attention to ST in the past but after chokehold, the offering and this one I'm now considering going to a show of theres...can't get enough of them atm 🤘
this was my first Sleep Token experience and i have to say that i was thoroughly left in a sea of shock and awe, the first half was like something that you could easily, EASILY hear as an epic end track to a game, then that surprise change up left me saying to myself "What the FUNK!?!?" lol
I can’t stop listening to this song. It really hits my soul. Finally something that brings me to tears of all emotions. This is every metalheads soul changer. 🤘
You are so fun to watch and enthusiastic. This Boomer Grandma is new to Sleep Token. Only became aware thru RUclips reactions to these new releases. This is the best band that I have heard in a very long time. I now have their entire catalog and play daily on shuffle. What a ride they are! Keep rocking and I'll keep watching you! Thank you!
SHLUCK! Agreed man. Loved chokehold just that little bit more but this was incredible. My wife was reading across the room when I was listening to this over my speakers and as soon as the end section started all I hear is a “WAIT WHAT” and we were hooked.
Ahhh you guys make me wish I knew about ST a few years ago cuz I’d do anything to hear this song for the first time as an already established fan!! Just got into this band a few mos ago. The Summoning was the second ST song I heard and I have had their whole discography on repeat the past few weeks!
Sleep token is the kind of band that I need to listen every fucking day ' it s a need, they bring me so much, too many emotions every time. I m sitting there crying of joy and head banging at the same time 😂 I adore them
Love the two tracks so much, this one especially is their hardest hitting track ever and most unpredictable! His screams remind me of zeal and ardor abit lol SHLUCK
Your reaction was awesome!!! I had a total out of body experience lol I probably sweated a little as well Lol 🔥…If you haven’t reacted to Thread the Needle by ST I’d love to see your reaction to that Gem
Shluck, I just discovered your channel yesterday and I love your content man, keep it up. I remember hearing that ending section when it just came out and being absolutely flabbergasted at how beautiful it was
The whole record is something else, best of 2023 in my opinion, Granite has some great moments, Vore is my favorite song of the album, Aqua Regia is so jazzy, Rain is also great, DYWTYLM is simply amazing and catchy, Are You Really Okay? hits so hard man... Take Me Back to Eden, Ascensionism, The Apparition, Euclid... honestly there is no weak link in this one, it's been a while since I loved a whole album that much, I do a full listen at least once a day lmao
Iv always thought their albums are following each members lost loves.. sun downing was airy.. this place was water.. next album fire or earth.. because the fifth elements always love and finding it
This song shlucked my ears right off my skull! An author I dig (Jay Kristoff) tweeted a live video from Sleep Token and that was my first exposure. Over this past week, I have been slightly obsessed with the band.
So I've been a ST fan for a couple years now, and after MUCH digging it seems like Vessel is the principal songwriter of this band. I know they have touring guitarists, but from what I can tell Vessel and the drummer do all the writing. I'm not gonna say what Vessel's real name is, but he's got older (pre ST) stuff online, and he seems to be a very accomplished guitarist/songwriter/keys player. I'm just wondering how much of these newer songs are still written/played by him, or if the touring musicians are actually contributing to the creation of this stuff now as well. Great stuff, Sleep Token! Keep it up.
Why is people saying that 2023 will be the year of the thall? Because Vildhjarta was THE band that I've listened the most last year and this right here is fire!! The prospect of hearing more of this vibe is too good to be true!
schluken, literally this song is so high for me. It just is so goood. If they keep dropping bangers im sure my head is going to explode from how good the music is i stg
this was the first song of Sleep Token's that I heard all the way thru, and I wasnt sure I was a fan but the change-up at the end caught me so off guard in SUCH A GOOD WAY. now listening again I definitely find myself liking this song a lot more. like I see this song growing to be one of my all-time-faves. also the build-up to the funk/folk ending was so much more intense on the relisten (I say folk end bc it low-key reminded me of Hozier a bit)
This song man... the feelings I get from this song reminds me a lot of the same feelings I got when I first discovered them and listened to TNDNBTG/The Offering, and then some. I'm addicted and I'm not mad about it. Absolute masterpiece. shluck.
What I love is just how giddy this song, and hell this band has been getting everyone. To watch quite a few different content creators having this big fucking smile, the bouncing off the seat, just...fuck man. It's a reaction that not a lot of bands can get, and it's one that speaks volumes. Honestly this shit is phenomenal.
Shluck! Jokes aside. This is one of the most refreshing takes on thall/progressive in a long time. Been a fan of this band for 2 years now and it only keeps getting better.
This guy is such a shluck, in all seriousness I love the channel. Keep up the good work, love the way you break down songs and keep it entertaining. And this song is perfect.
It’s a 9.5 now
Edit: It’s now a 10
9.5. More like a 27 on the richter schmicter scale
There's apparently another two songs coming out tonight and tomorrow, too.
@@xXXxTaRAntuLAxXXx saw somewhere that they're gonna release all songs leading up to their UK headlining tour on the 17th.
11/10
@Baron I've heard the same thing too. So far, the only other songs that have release dates are Granite and Aqua Regis, if I'm not mistaken.
Sleep Token is going to owe me child support after that ending
The funk at the end makes perfect sense actually...first you summon the demon, then you seduce it... obviously.
Everywhere I go, I can’t escape the Bard’s lust…
Perfect explanation
This band HAS to blow up this year. It's not a wish, it's a demand.
They are doing an academy sized tour in the UK, so they are definitely blowing up here. Hope it happens worldwide.
After two years of showing everyone I knew, I finally got someone on the hook with The Summoning. My first recruit to the cult. I'm so excited.
They have grown 50% over the past quarter
When bands blow up their music gets dramatically different.
@@oddynuff9139 I can't see that for this band.
Best song they’ve put out yet! This is what progressive metal should be, something fresh and outside the box.
Tbh as a prog metal fan this has me interested in the genre again
@@METALBIRB A lot of the bands that have been in the game for a while are still releasing bangers, but there aren't a ton of new bands that have something new to offer.
@@METALBIRB prog - core 😅
That's what prog is meant to be, tbf.
@@METALBIRBsame.
Interlude (also sweating): “Where on earth do we go from here?”

I liked Chokehold, but this song right here is a straight up masterpiece. Phenomenal song 🔥
Ive always told fellow musicians that you cant be afraid to mix genres, feels, grooves, etc and Sleep Token just put on a master class on making multiple genres work within one song
The bands that are genre blending make the best music imo
@METALBIRB yup. Falling in Reverse and Linkin Park has done it actually 😊
My favorite thing about all these reactions to this song is so many people want it to go heavy at the end but they go sexy and everyone just vibes with it.

Holy schluck! This is the best song I’ve ever heard, not even joking. What a wonderful masterpiece yet again from my favorite band
It’s good but not that good lol😂
@@lanecarner7622 no no… he’s right. It IS THAT good.
@@lanecarner7622 you don’t have to share the same opinion as me lol 😂
This song live is next level. I've never FELT a song quite like this. I felt this song down to the very cells that make up my body. The tour for this album was hands down the best concert I've ever been to
This song took me so many places in the span of 6 and a half minutes. Shivers, excitement, insane energy. They've evolved, and it cannot be stopped 🤘🤘
I thought that Periphery would easily take my album of the year... Holy hell... Sleep Token subverted I think ALL of our expectations in the best way possible.
It's like they made a song that we didn't know we wanted or needed. It's magic.
There's no limits to what Sleep Token can do, and they showcased it all in this masterpiece.
It’s like they’re edging you the entire song. They give you what you want maybe 2 times, and all other times leaves you in suspense so that the brain tickling madness hits harder.
I think these songs are what folks were expecting from "This Place Will Become Your Tomb", which is a record I absolutely love, but THIS feels like a proper follow-up to Sundowning.

These 2 songs have been 2 of my favorites of all time like holy shit the vibe everything is just incredible
Same here! It's so different and yet so Sleep Token... these guys don't miss at all
WHERE TF DO WE GO FROM HERE!!!!!! cant wait to hear whats coming!
THE CHORUS, the jazz-fusion guitar solo right before it, and the funk/prog ending. It's a nuts track. So good.
A song every day for the rest of the year !!!!! 😁
We wish lol
If they can keep up with this quality then yes please!
Oh how I wish
Saw this drop straight after I saw your review of "Chokehold" and was like "I wanna see birbs reaction to this banger"
I'm glad homie!
Bro this song went from chunk to funk and I'm loving every single second of it
I’ve listened to this so many times that I’m now “singing” the guitar solo. Good lord. Lol
This song took me to heaven, hell, and everywhere in between in 6 minutes. Holy shluck.
I love your reactions! You're as giddy as I am about this, Sleep Token has definitely earned their place in my top five since The Offering. And "are they killing the final boss right now?" 🤣😂
Shluuuuckkk 10/10 for The Summoning for me 😄

Snap!
I’m jealous!!
Supposedly next Saturday
@@chiefluke210 what’s gonna happen next Saturday ?
@@gabmozes7858 New album is released based off my original comment.
How do you not have a million subs bro? Hands down one of the best reaction channels out there.
Broooo thank you so much. I appreciate that
Watched them perform it live in London and it was just as good, the guitarist screamed alongside vessel too it was INCREDIBLE
Im really late to the party but f**k im glad i showed up 💖🎵🎵👿🔥🔥 i mean Schluck me running whew 😂😂
Man I really was hoping it ended with a funky solo fade out but regardless that song was so fucking good.
I get you on the Tool. These last two I’ve felt like I was in high school listening to new Tool. They have grown so much! Worship shluk
How did they just drop their best song they've ever written.
And there's some STIFFFFFF competition for that spot.
Never really paid too much attention to ST in the past but after chokehold, the offering and this one I'm now considering going to a show of theres...can't get enough of them atm 🤘
Thanks for showing ST some love!
Was also cool to see you stop by the discord :)
Man thanks for the love again!
I have no idea what these boys are cooking up, but I've never been more excited! This song is so absurdly good
this was my first Sleep Token experience and i have to say that i was thoroughly left in a sea of shock and awe, the first half was like something that you could easily, EASILY hear as an epic end track to a game, then that surprise change up left me saying to myself "What the FUNK!?!?" lol
I’m so glad you discovered them here!
I can’t stop listening to this song. It really hits my soul. Finally something that brings me to tears of all emotions. This is every metalheads soul changer. 🤘
Spot on review. I'm seeing them live on 22nd January - I'm super hyped!
SAMEEEEEEEEEEE
@@Strutsss SAME
I love how the drummer always does a double snare hit blast but it works so well
I saw a Beautiful Oblivion comparison in chat for that second half...and yes! Excellent comparison.
You are so fun to watch and enthusiastic. This Boomer Grandma is new to Sleep Token. Only became aware thru RUclips reactions to these new releases. This is the best band that I have heard in a very long time. I now have their entire catalog and play daily on shuffle. What a ride they are! Keep rocking and I'll keep watching you! Thank you!
When I heard this song I was immediately SO excited to check your reaction.
I'm glad man!
SHLUCK! Agreed man. Loved chokehold just that little bit more but this was incredible. My wife was reading across the room when I was listening to this over my speakers and as soon as the end section started all I hear is a “WAIT WHAT” and we were hooked.
Shluck! It’s my birthday today and this was LITERALLY THE BEST present I have ever gotten. New Sleep Token! 🎉 Been listening on repeat!!
Saw a twitch comment comparing the groovy section to Beautiful Oblivion by Issues and I think that is SO accurate lol
Man I love this band so much
Ahhh you guys make me wish I knew about ST a few years ago cuz I’d do anything to hear this song for the first time as an already established fan!! Just got into this band a few mos ago.

We are schlucky to bear witness to this music, thanks for the reaction.
Oh schluck that blew me away first listen
Sleep token is the kind of band that I need to listen every fucking day ' it s a need, they bring me so much, too many emotions every time. I m sitting there crying of joy and head banging at the same time 😂 I adore them
this is just INSANE! OMG how did they do that? Mixed seemed unmixable things, hoooollly molly
The first "Heavy" band that has actually intrigued me in a long time! There is something very cool about these guys! Need more!!!!

Love the two tracks so much, this one especially is their hardest hitting track ever and most unpredictable! His screams remind me of zeal and ardor abit lol

Vessel set it to combat mode for this one, so good
Literally visualizers of final bosses so you're not wrong haha
@@METALBIRB they were absolutely playing Elden Ring while recording
Here from the ST server!! Worship!!
Thanks for the warm welcome!
This is the most interesting thing I've heard in metal in a decade
Your reaction was awesome!!! I had a total out of body experience lol I probably sweated a little as well Lol 🔥…If you haven’t reacted to Thread the Needle by ST I’d love to see your reaction to that Gem
This is a f’ing masterpiece and will be listened to 50 years from now!! I said the same thing at the end … need more of this!!!

I'm seing them this summer. I'm so, so excited! 😁🤘
there is a song called “vore” on the album im expecting it to be either face melting heavy or really beautiful hell probably both
Something tells me it's gonna be similar to bloodsport

God Schluck!! First video I watched by you and I am staying to watch more. Amazing song, amazing content sleep token never fails
Everything in this song caught me by surprise, all i could do was laugh.
Masterpiece…
Schluck! The Summoning has possessed me….amazing and addictive…
Why is people saying that 2023 will be the year of the thall? Because Vildhjarta was THE band that I've listened the most last year and this right here is fire!! The prospect of hearing more of this vibe is too good to be true!
Also, 3rd and 4th single out soon

This is so weird and different, but it is totally growing on me 😃
Love the reaction. Such a killer track. I definitely get some Zeal & Ardor vibes from it. Cheers!
Zeal & Ardor should be getting the hype that this band has been getting.
@@ZX-ou5op very true!!
I never looked into progressive metal, but bow that I’ve heard it, I MUST have more!
The bar has been set extremely HIGH for 2023 lol. ⬆️

The funk lyrics are the same as the lyrics from the begining. That's amazing. What a band
When you like melodic Djent but you also like Steve Vai ... and whatever that at the end is, buts is something very tasty.

Had the song on when this vid dropped, I think its fate
That funk part is very Riverside esque. What a track. This made up for their last album.
First time I listen to this band and I think I'm already fan of them, sound so good
Schluck? I think 😂
I’ve been listening to both all morning. Thanks for the surprise stream birb.
