Would love to see you react to the band AVATAR and their song Napalm (Live from Ages). They are from Gothenburg, Sweden. They just hit No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Airplay!
Yo man i don't really know if you will see this but if you do thanks for everything you do and also you should check out citizen soldier tattoo. It's a very beautiful song with a great message and I think you would love to hear it. And if not that's ok thank you anyways and enjoy the rest of your day.
“Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” - Vessel That's Sleep Token for you.
What’s crazy is the more you listen to this album the more you’ll enjoy it. It had to grow on me at first but now I’ve listened to it entirely too much
At 42, I've only heard 2 bands ever that could pull off the off-tempo tone. Tool, and now Sleep Token. And after Tool being my #1 since the 90's, Sleep Token has shot right past them! And man, Vessel's voice! If my soul had a G spot, they found it! WORSHIP!
My partner absolutely loves Tool but when I showed him sleep token, he didn’t like it all that much until I forced him to sit in the car and listen to them 😂 he really enjoys their music
Very true. But what is crazy, Sleep Token is ahead of TOOL musically and lyrically at this stage in their respective timelines. The potential for the future is insane. Additionally, TOOL doesn’t really shift into different genres the same way. I have no idea how Sleep Token is this deliberate. I’ve seen TOOL 14 times since 1997. I have seen just about every solid band in any genre and I have never heard such clarity as I did at the DFW Sleep Token show. This band is pretty amazing.
They have a lot of great songs. Then you replay and actually listen, and feel it at the same time ❤ the almost ambiance like transitions into another VIBE 😅
@@jacobtridef48I wouldn’t say they are overrated, this part is just really fucking good. Like it’s so much genre blend done perfectly, it’s up there with bad omens new shit, I need a bad omens sleep token collab.
What I love about Sleep Token is that their sound is so diverse they can appeal to all different types of crowds when it comes to music tastes. Want hardcore screaming? They got you. Want somethin more chill and emotional? They got you. Want something more soul/R&B? They got you. And yet somehow even with all the different styles, they still maintain a unique "Sleep Token vibe" and sound to them. Just an overall amazing band.
@@travisconway9059 same thing happened with me. Heard about them because of everyone reacting to The Summoning and listened to everything before the album dropped. Not saying he’s gotta react to them all tho lol. Just listen before doing songs like Euclid.
I remember 10 years ago me and my buddy were talking where bands would go and this is exactly it. A mixture between beautiful writing, wicked heavy, and technical both on riffs, beat, and structure/arrangement. The rock world has lacked this. It’s beyond refreshing
ASCENSIONISM NEXT. Or Rain. Or Alkaline. Or Chokehold. Or Jaws. Or Like That. I came here for Sleep Token and I subbed for your fantastic reaction, and more Sleep Token. Not one of their songs is bad. Each song is an experience. A uniquely gorgeous and different experience. If you decide to go on the Sleep Token journey, I'll be here for every second of it. They're something very very special. The talent that pours out of these guys is unreal. Not to mention their drummer is arguably one of the best, ever. The music he writes is insane. He's an absolute unit and low-key out of his fvcking mind in the best way possible. I hope you grow to love them as much as the rest of us do! 🙏🏻✨️🖤🔥
I’m a hip hop head from the jump but some bands and artists from different genres just catch my ear. This band is crazy, man. Thanks for doing this big dawg
I've watched A LOT of reactions to this song and it's crazy how almost everyone who is really listening has a VISCERAL response to is...chills, sweating, feeling of "flying through space"--and then the bridge--and then the MFing FONK...the smiles, the joy...the stank face. This is a gospel album.
Oh baby, it was only a matter of time. Chokehold might be the next most requested track by them, Alkanine, then followed up by the track itself Take Me Back To Eden...the music doesn't miss.
Sleep Token is absolutely phenomenal. The different layers in terms of drumming, guitar, keyboards and those Godly vocals is insane. The first time I heard this song, I was blown out of the water. Truly beautiful song.
Welcome to Post Metal. Time signatures are challenging to identify because they are probably changing up just when you thought you got a grip. They are going to throw curves and swerve whatever you think is going to happen. It's always a ride.
I started playing drums at the end of august this year. Before I watched many drum covers and videos from Drumeo. There I saw Greyson Nekrutman drumming through "Hypnosis". After that I searched for the original, then I heard this song. I got big respect for metal now. I never knew that I could love this kind of music before.
I discovered sleep token 2 months ago and I just can't stop listening to them! I want to go see them but the closest concert is 2 states away ! Fuck it ima do it
Hopefully the tickets are reasonable. The Dallas show had all the tickets pre sold and they were sold out the second I refreshed after they became available. $200 last time I checked.
I saw them last night. It was the best show I've ever attended. Vessels voice is absolutely PHENOMENAL. It sounds even better in person if you can believe that. I really hope you got to see them friend!
I rate everything about your channel. Been popping in now and then to check out new music with you, love that you try it all and give everything a fair shot. Love that your viewers give you such a broad sweep of music to try. You're attracting literally every walk of life with your reacts and it's giving us all such a eclectic palette and musical vocabulary! Here for it homie!
Best reactor I have seen all day, suuuper clean video, and you dont miss a single detail, good expressions when your feeling things so we get that you get it.
So glad you reacted to this! Been listening to sleep token for a few years, I absolutely love the instruments played, & Vessel is such a great singer and screamer!
These guys are fire. They have come onto the scene like a hurricane. They are worth a deep dive and I hope you enjoy their stuff as much as I do. Peace, love, and healing to ya.
Riiiight??? The first time I listened to this album, I had a stank face on the whole time. The drums, the guitar, the vocals, the rap, the lyrics! Everything is phenomenal!
now THIS is the kind of rock content I support. sleep token has always been a hidden gem until this song blew them up. but you NEED to react to more of them. they’re an anomaly cause they are so genre fluid and genre bending. there’s metal, hard rock, rap, pop, alternative, electronic, etc. I really think you’ll love them!!!
Man I know you from your eminem/nf/logic reactions from back in the day and now you’re covering my favorite band, that’s sick dude! I would love to see more sleep token reactions, they’ve got some more tracks that might be right up your alley :). Much love
I'm late to this reaction, but let me tell y'all something... This band blows my mind in so many ways. The transitions, the different musical elements. The Lore behind the band... I could go on and on. I just saw them at Louder Than Life in KY on Saturday the 23rd, and they played this song. I have the video as well but MAN. IT DOES NOT DO THEM JUSTICE. So happy to watch you learn then the way I did so long ago! You should check out Take Me Back To Eden, Ascensionism, Chokehold, and so much more. The versatility is breathtaking. 🫶❓️🖤 #Worship

I can absolutely take the comments like "This band is boring" and stuff but if you have the time, listen to all 3 albums. It will be a journey worth your time.

Anything off of Take Me Back To Eden is phenomenal. 100/10
I want him to do DYWTYLM now just to see their range
Yo I just heard the the whole album. You were ABSOLUTELY right! Thanks 😊
Amen!
Facts!
Anything off their first 3 albums is a 100/10 I think you mean ❤️
“Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” - Vessel
That's Sleep Token for you.
100% I have fallen in love with this band since I found them a month ago. Every song I find so a journey and I love it.
Well it's easy to get lost in genres when every song is 14 fucking genres lmao
Worship
Even though I enjoy Sleep Token Vessel seems incredibly pretentious lol this is like im14andthisisdeep
@@LuxalimHe’s not pretentious, just British. They’re easy to get confused 😆
You should try Ascensionism by Sleep Token. Vessel raps in it.
Or any track off take me back to Eden. Master class in art.
Whole album is fire
Spoiler alert
Rap is a loose term lol
And then some 😉
Sleep token is my best discovery of the year, what a talent of these guys
Its really just him and a drummer on the albums. He has a touring band when he goes on tour cuz he obv can't play 4 instruments at once
On god.
Bad omens is amazing too if you don’t know them.
Listen to johari
@@36Corey I discovered ST along with Bad Omens haha
What’s crazy is the more you listen to this album the more you’ll enjoy it. It had to grow on me at first but now I’ve listened to it entirely too much
Identical problem here hahaha
Dude that's me right now. Crazy how they went from, Oh yeah Will Ramos did a cover cool to this might be my favorite band rn tf
Yes!! Legit it grew HEAVY on me
same here
@@excaliburxv7529ever since the offering dropped, they've been my favorite band, every new release is just icing

At your age, you should know genesis^^
Ironically I’ve compared them to A Perfect Circle, but you should check out Starset if you like SleepToken

You need to listen to the whole Take Me Back to Eden album. It's seriously a masterpiece
Best album I've ever heard in my life
The song “alkaline” by them is really fucking good too
Every song by them is fucking good.
He has listened to the whole album at this point. All for the views now
They have a lot of great songs. Then you replay and actually listen, and feel it at the same time ❤ the almost ambiance like transitions into another VIBE 😅
im a huge fan of metal but even for me, the last part is easily the best part of the song
For real, I can’t really get into them but that end makes me shmoove
@@SinslayerG yeah TikTok has made them a tad overrated, but this song’s ending is Fire
@@jacobtridef48I wouldn’t say they are overrated, this part is just really fucking good. Like it’s so much genre blend done perfectly, it’s up there with bad omens new shit, I need a bad omens sleep token collab.
the power of the FUNK
I actually hated it lol. Too "normie" sounding for me.
I literally cannot stop listening to the Summoning. The chord progressions and tonality speak so deep
It’s addictive as hell. Everyone I show it to still gets into bouts of only listening to this song for like 4 days in a row
What I love about Sleep Token is that their sound is so diverse they can appeal to all different types of crowds when it comes to music tastes. Want hardcore screaming? They got you. Want somethin more chill and emotional? They got you. Want something more soul/R&B? They got you. And yet somehow even with all the different styles, they still maintain a unique "Sleep Token vibe" and sound to them. Just an overall amazing band.
They do that all in one song which is even crazier. On the outside 8 minutes is a long song. But they make it feel like a 2 minute song.
Rnb head here, and it caught me so off guard how much blues/soul undertones there are. It’s insanely good.
Vessel be like “just play your instruments as ‘bad ass’ as possible and imma sing”
Let that album play , such a journey. Definitely album of the year , each song is so different I hope he does the whole thing.
Only problem is to truly understand the album you have to listen to the other two first.
@@Wiggz22 hey if he wants to do them all but I got into them recently so after I listened to the new album I went back and man it was so worth it !

You need to keep going with sleep token, they have so many amazing songs that you need to check out.
I’m a hip hop head from the jump but some bands and artists from different genres just catch my ear. This band is crazy, man. Thanks for doing this big dawg
Take me back to Eden is a song that can never be skipped
This is still by far album of the year. Also, you should listen to the whole thing it's an emotional roller coaster but so worth.
very closely followed by the latest Bad Omens. the two albums should be number 1 and 2 this year for sure

The beautiful thing with Sleep Token is they take risks with every song, and the make it work every time
Who would've thought that one of the best R&B drops could come at the end of a heavy song like this? Sleep Token. That's who!
as a rock/metal enthusiast i love watching first time listeners of the genre

British Metalcore at its best they are so bloody good live too 🤟🤟🤟
I just discovered this band yesterday and this was the song I dived into 1st and all I can say is wow
"What is going on" is exactly my reaction and why i have been enjoying them.
Best reactor I have seen all day, suuuper clean video, and you dont miss a single detail, good expressions when your feeling things so we get that you get it.
Sleep Token has an incredible amount of substance to their music....so much depth. Great video my man!
At 3 min plus - ‘They’re still adding new elements this far along into the record…’ 😏
The best description of this song I heard was this song went from ethereal metal to baby makin music.
There songs are always such a journey I love their sound
Actually so surprised to see you reacting to this band, please do more!
"uh oh" is something you should always hold onto with Sleep Token lol continue the journey with them, you wont be disappointed!
I have been waiting for this day!
I just saw them live lastnight and they are a one of a kind band! Nobody is like them. They were incredible!
More Sleep Token please! The entire album is a freaking masterpiece. All of their music is incredible. Keep going...
Thanks for sharing them with us ! what a nice discovery, love that chorus, heavy but slow, its sound amazing
So glad you reacted to this! Been listening to sleep token for a few years, I absolutely love the instruments played, & Vessel is such a great singer and screamer!
It’s dope to see sleep token reach so many people they are so good.
I’ll never forget where I was, who I was, what I was wearing when I first heard this song. There is pure MAGIC in this new album
16 seconds. We here man. Much love from Oregon 🤙🤙
I kept checking your channel to see if you reacted to sleep token haha, finally!
This album is truly an experience. Love it
Man, you gotta do Ascensionism by this band next. These guys can do it all.
Omg bout time sleep token is being brought up! Let's gooo! WORSHIP
Sleep Token is the best 💩 going! 🔥🔥🔥 Witchu from the 515 LB! ✌
you gotta start doing more from them. You're finna love it, homie
Yessir. Next he should do Ascensionism. And then Chokehold
I've never dropped everything and click on a video this fast.
Youve hit a whole new level of music right here, cant go wrong with anything they do.

My Man reacting to Sleep Token! I was waiting For this For a long time!!!
Dude has reacted to rock music for the first time at least 24 times now
Riiiight??? The first time I listened to this album, I had a stank face on the whole time. The drums, the guitar, the vocals, the rap, the lyrics! Everything is phenomenal!
I just found this band about 2 months ago. Most fun band since Tool and that is the highest praise I can give to a band.
now THIS is the kind of rock content I support. sleep token has always been a hidden gem until this song blew them up. but you NEED to react to more of them. they’re an anomaly cause they are so genre fluid and genre bending. there’s metal, hard rock, rap, pop, alternative, electronic, etc. I really think you’ll love them!!!
Glad you finally made it on the sleep token train! They’re a phenomenal band who are just as good live as they are on album!
Oh here we go...I need like 4 more songs off this album
Bro they are all over the place but for some reason it just works so beautifully
“my man said hooooo, whaAAAT?” 😂😂😂😂 i laughed so so hard
Man I know you from your eminem/nf/logic reactions from back in the day and now you’re covering my favorite band, that’s sick dude! I would love to see more sleep token reactions, they’ve got some more tracks that might be right up your alley :). Much love

Ay I gotta say, respect for stepping out of your zone to check out Sleep Token, the UK got mad rap and metal. Drink that water, stay hydrated homie.
so good bro making my heart flutter wtf
I’d give anything to see you react to more of this album, I’d recommend take me back to Eden, or ascensionism
I’m late to the party but loved watching you prepare for them to get crazy and just knowing it’s about to get CRAZY but not in the way you think😂🫶🏻
You can't have that ending without the beginning. It flows so fucking good, and builds into a god damn masterpiece.
Bruh wasn’t ready for it, then the end. Love the reaction✊🏿
Haven't seen a Layed Bak video in a hot minute. I came here to watch your reaction to that 5 minute mark when it comes back in. Hahah
man i've been waiting for you to do a sleep token reaction forever now! So glad you finally did =) no do some more please, like all of there songs!
I can absolutely take the comments like "This band is boring" and stuff but if you have the time, listen to all 3 albums. It will be a journey worth your time.
