So happy to see you succeed man. You deserve every bit of it. 500k listeners on Spotify is absolutely fking insane for a metal RUclipsr and I'm here for it.
Dude's probably one of the best metal drummers right now. Sure, others are faster. Others hit harder. But ii is dynamic and groovy as fuck, something you don't really find anymore. Not to mention his pocket is d e e p, I've never seen him lose time. And he has so many genres in his bag of tricks, only adding to his dynamics. He can go from a headbanging breakdown to some nasty-ass funk in a split second. Edit: Forgot to mention his fills. Never out of place, yet show off his insane chops. Unlike some drummers. El Estepario Siberiano comes to mind here, his short-form drumming is very show-offy and doesn't really show his groove that much. Same goes for his older stuff. His new covers are fire though.
Well fucking done, Nik. Sleep Token has to be one of the hardest bands to make an 'in the style of=' song of because they're so weirdly unique and you can listen to 5 songs and hear so many different things so it's hard to pin them into a single genre never mind one specific style (which is part of what makes them so fun to listen to) but you nailed it.
Sleep Token is not a unicorn. Don’t h get me wrong, I like what they’ve put out. But other “unique” bands that paved the way before people crowned Sleep Token: 12 Foot Ninja, Mr. Bungle/FNM, Glassjaw, Periphery, Tool, TesseracT, and many more.
Holy shit I wish this showed up on my recommended. I had to manually find it after hearing it on the Album. You're amazing and thank you for introducing me to new bands and talents!
The funniest part of this whole thing to me is knowing that through all the headbanging the mask is only attached with a piece of ductape to your forehead😂😂
Dude, this might be my most favorite one yet. This was beautifully done. Can't wait for volume 2. Also, can't wait for videos of you reacting to other reactors reacting to your how to songs 😅😅
No creo que alguien llegue a leer y entender mi comentario, pero amaria que algun dia una de las bandas encontraron la canción que Nicolas nocturno les hizo, y el vocalista la cante en redes sociales al menos jajaja
Yo me quedé con las ganas de ver a Will Ramos haciendo las vocales para ésta canción. El riff y la ambientación están espectactulares pero la voz no me convenció :(
I agree with Alexander man I've watched him do a couple of these now and it's legit amazing to watch the process and hearing the end result. Really badass Nik keep it up bro Core Kid for life!!
Your videos are a gem as soon as I'm going to watch the video and I know it's going to be good. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🤟 Y reacts to the Seventy Thorns song by Kim Dracula and Jonathan Davis
sometimes i watch these and think 'ok, i get it. feel like ill never have to actually listen to this band' because its been distilled down to such a raw essence.
ii works so well with vessel...ii drums even/especially when he isn't drumming, composed restraint is just an extended atmospheric build up/expansion of space. ii and vessel could be asleep and they're still drumming/singing to me it's all part of their music eventually lmao. the vocals and jazzy bits here have me dying of lol though. the editing only seems 'rushed' since you spent 2 hours programming ii replicant drums, the editing feels like you just wanna be done with it lol. this makes me appreciate them and you more
@@C_Shay_77 You're right. Those songs hit pretty hard. Definitely harder than anything from "TBWBYD", which is the only whole album I've heard from them.
I don’t now, if my suggestion will end reality but what about a collaborative with @frohleapstudios? I mean, the godfather of metal covers and the god of recreation of metalstyles could have the potential to end our reality?
mad how every fucking tune is so damn accurate too u can defo tell your a metal head son 😆 so glad uve made it into a album cause is defo something i was gunna suggest cause the amount your doing and the quality and how they sound near enough the same as the bands imitated is defo LP worthy Bout time we worship nik and his genius right ?!

"Who are you praying to, Son?"
" To Nik, the All-creative!" :D
He’ll be due for a “renaissance era” soon, on his path to godhood. XD
I was going to like this comment but is currently at 666 likes and it will be a sin.
Use this comment to like it more without fucking up the likes
Can’t forget the 4th era, metal news reporter
Bro, so happy you decided to go on this creative journey of making more music instead of just reacting to it!
Bro wut… this is like OG Nik.
@Matthew Behr oh I know, I was just talking about the decision to make more content like this as opposed to so many reactions.
I'm not. He definitely ruined his channel by not reacting. Reactor nik was better
@@ShitYourself7 Was better in your opinion...I'm happy that your opinion has no meaning for his decision ;)
holy hell, man. what a journey this song is. You're absolutely killing it.
I just came from re watching an old car trek to this video, what a mind fuck?
You sir, has a nice taste of cars and music.
I'm waiting on the next p1 video, will be looping this in the meantime.
Tavarish watches nik?! This makes me so happy.
Sup Freddy!
At this point nik is a one man band better than most actual bands
Bro they got fake ass porn bot spam accounts for music youtubers now no way lol look at the other reply lol.
Lolol
2-man lol
Nik is all the bands
@@onimar this
After Sleep Token’s new album this song needs an R&B/Hip-Hop section and it’s perfect
And a gospel section.
So happy to see you succeed man. You deserve every bit of it. 500k listeners on Spotify is absolutely fking insane for a metal RUclipsr and I'm here for it.
Their drummer is a monster. So tight! Completely underrated.
ii is absolutely underappreciated
I love hearing people hype the drummer. I feel like he doesn't get mentioned much, but he is ALWAYS going so fucking hard
Dude's probably one of the best metal drummers right now. Sure, others are faster. Others hit harder. But ii is dynamic and groovy as fuck, something you don't really find anymore. Not to mention his pocket is d e e p, I've never seen him lose time. And he has so many genres in his bag of tricks, only adding to his dynamics.

Bro overplays but in the most tasteful and groovy way, it somehow works so well
he doesn't get mention !? I am always like vibing super hard with every song. He is a fcking god
@@WSlopeAggie not about how fast your drums are, it's how you use them 😎
@@SALEENS7GTR5 and yet, if he played less, it'd feel like something is missing
Love it. You know what’s crazy is I’m actually getting like a Thornhill meets Sleep Token vibe. “Thorn Token” as it were. This slaps.
yeah the chorus vocals are very views from the sun sounding
Sleep Hill
Had same feeling. Even much more Thornhill vibes than Sleep Token
Exactly!
if only thornhill didn’t completely change their sound
I mean you easily understand what vessel is saying at all times.
I couldnt understand a single world this dude was saying 😅
Killer riffs tho
Yeah, it sounds like vocal dude just phoned this one in. I think they really coulda had something here but dropped the ball on that.
oh man my exact thoughts. he literally killed it. the song i mean
Felt like he was making fun of the vocals to me
@@dRibbs808 I agree.
That's the point bro
Well fucking done, Nik.

Agreed this is the best thing in sleep token you don't know what you going to listen
Sleep Token is not a unicorn. Don’t h get me wrong, I like what they’ve put out. But other “unique” bands that paved the way before people crowned Sleep Token: 12 Foot Ninja, Mr. Bungle/FNM, Glassjaw, Periphery, Tool, TesseracT, and many more.
You guys really got the style! But this also shows how good ST actually is at what they do.
can you do a tutorial on writing midi drums? Your patterns are so sick!
Nik is making me discover so many new to me metal bands through these videos. I love it.
Holy shit I wish this showed up on my recommended. I had to manually find it after hearing it on the Album. You're amazing and thank you for introducing me to new bands and talents!
I love these, but honestly, I'm waiting for the real band to cover it that would be awsome
The funniest part of this whole thing to me is knowing that through all the headbanging the mask is only attached with a piece of ductape to your forehead😂😂
Dude, this might be my most favorite one yet. This was beautifully done. Can't wait for volume 2.

No creo que alguien llegue a leer y entender mi comentario, pero amaria que algun dia una de las bandas encontraron la canción que Nicolas nocturno les hizo, y el vocalista la cante en redes sociales al menos jajaja
My thoughts exactly!
I mean will Ramos has made a song with him. So he at least has listened to the song he made about Lorna shore
Wait why did I write that in English
Me refiero
Will Ramos ha hecho una cancion con el, asi que ha tenido que escuchar la de how to Lorna shore
Nicolás Nocturno jskskskdkd lo amé :)
Yo me quedé con las ganas de ver a Will Ramos haciendo las vocales para ésta canción. El riff y la ambientación están espectactulares pero la voz no me convenció :(
I'm not gonna lie here, I was skeptic going into this, but 10/10 would listen again.
man this sounds huge! what drum library did you use for the drums?
Most people don’t say this enough but you are a fucking creative genius.
I agree with Alexander man I've watched him do a couple of these now and it's legit amazing to watch the process and hearing the end result. Really badass Nik keep it up bro Core Kid for life!!
This shows you that Sleep Token isn't just the sum of its parts. Theres alot missing here.
This sounds like a Sleep Token x Thornhill Collab
Simply GENIOUS!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
6:55 those sunglasses are DOPE
I'd love to hear what Vessel thinks
Seriously so good!! How do you come up with the lyrics??
Probably improv
Dude, this slaps hard. Great track!
Would love a How to Babymetal
I wonder how Nik will pull this off. He definitely has to dance as well.
I'll wait for this hahaha
Tries to write a sleep token song... writes a stoneside song by accident XD
I briefly saw someone comment "sax-core is now a genre" after the lofi drop, and I'm here for it.
How to Periphery in 30 seconds 👀
Legit can I get an instrumental version of this
My favorite sleep token song
wow... very well done. sleep token meets thornhill
Me just imagining Nik staring at the inside of a plate the whole time
I really need to hear a How to Born of Osiris very soon please
YES, PLEASE.
Absolutely nailing these!
Nek all your songs have been on repeat for me. All been ao good
i love sleep token but this is hilarious and accurate AF
i love this. the whole idea. you're on a next level.
that jazz section was actually fire
Your videos are a gem as soon as I'm going to watch the video and I know it's going to be good. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🤟
Y reacts to the Seventy Thorns song by Kim Dracula and Jonathan Davis
5:16 giving me goosebumps
sometimes i watch these and think 'ok, i get it. feel like ill never have to actually listen to this band' because its been distilled down to such a raw essence.
Cameron is a BEAST! his vocals get better every time he sings!
He was literally the weak point of this song lol
That fucking ending breakdown though.. ooo it was nasty
This is a helluva banger!
Really return of Nu-metal with Sleep Token I would say!
this video gets a thumbs up. this song gets a download. and you get a subscribe. fking awesome man.
Forgot I was watching a video tbh I just started vibing and then heard Nik speak again
I don’t think you hit the Sleep Token mark, but it still sounds really good.
Giving off some fromjoy vibes too 😮💨
this feels more earthside that sleeptoken but whatever it slaps
That was soooo good! ✨✨
dude… i finally see a couple of my chat comments in one of these and they’re both a little sus 😂 fantastic job on this one, as per usual.
ii works so well with vessel...ii drums even/especially when he isn't drumming, composed restraint is just an extended atmospheric build up/expansion of space. ii and vessel could be asleep and they're still drumming/singing to me it's all part of their music eventually lmao. the vocals and jazzy bits here have me dying of lol though. the editing only seems 'rushed' since you spent 2 hours programming ii replicant drums, the editing feels like you just wanna be done with it lol. this makes me appreciate them and you more
this shit its OFF the charts, this sounds so COOL dude.. i love it.
You nailed this! Sick song man.
WORKSHOP
Nick, anything you think of possibly making and then wonder if we will like it.... Just make it and I guarantee you we'll all love it
@NikNocturnal6 what chu got?
Beginning almost sounds like Angel Vivaldi’s A Martian Winter…Bravo!!
Even easier:
For each instrument, think of the most generic part that instrument could actually play and you're set.
"We have Sleep Token at home"
(I feel like everyone has made this joke about all the videos in this series, yeah?)
This is the heaviest Sleep Token song I've ever heard.
Never heard Gods or Vore huh? 🤣
@@C_Shay_77 You're right. Those songs hit pretty hard. Definitely harder than anything from "TBWBYD", which is the only whole album I've heard from them.
That singer's wearing Meshuggah's Immutable European 2022 tour shirt, I have the same one. 🥰
DO A LOATHE ONE NEXT PLSS
This one was more loathe than Sleep token lmao
Amazing. that really was amazing.
Singer kinda with the djenty riffs under the chorus kinda sounds like Sybreed. And that's not a bad thing :D
Paper plate is hilarious. Should have made a spot for the fart.
This Juggernaut mask is awesome
One thing I noticed with sleep token is there is usually one sound that plays the entirety of the song.
i don't know if it is just me but when i see the paper mask i can read "FUEL" on it
Vocals killed it for me. Great instrumentals though!
Blunt honest definitely isn't a sleep token song, but this SLAPS
Love the PM Dawn specs 😂🤣
@xNikNoctural all I can say is it better be some God damn enchiladas.
I'm a Sleep Token fan and LMAO !! Very nice
That intro was very Angel Vivaldi.
Thisnis legit so good...which makes me love vessel mote gj bro
Put the lyrics in the description tho. That'd be pretty dope.
Lovely😍😍😍... Your talent is in another level.... Worship
this fuckin slaps dude good job i need to know what you use for backing stuff !!?!?!?
That breakdown totally sounded like something Vildhjarta would do.
“Movement II, Too the moon”
I don’t now, if my suggestion will end reality but what about a collaborative with @frohleapstudios? I mean, the godfather of metal covers and the god of recreation of metalstyles could have the potential to end our reality?
This is nuts
You should be producing bands!
You forgot to add those worship cords in it… that’s the only thing missing…. And maybe some hi-hat triplets
Damn it nik what drums vst are you using!
I mean nobody can sleep token better than sleep token but he came pretty decent
Huge Revaira vibes! Good job
mad how every fucking tune is so damn accurate too u can defo tell your a metal head son 😆 so glad uve made it into a album cause is defo something i was gunna suggest cause the amount your doing and the quality and how they sound near enough the same as the bands imitated is defo LP worthy
Bout time we worship nik and his genius right ?!
This man kicks ass
thornhill called hahah sounds sweet
Honestly the vocalist reminds me a bit of Stonesides vocalist
4:12 okay it's White Ward intro now
Some parts of this song are giving me serious Doom soundtrack vibes
