There are 2 types of Sleep Token fans: Those who don't know what their identities are, and those who do know and have intentionally and willingly forgotten as a way to respect the members, keep the magic alive, and enjoy the experience for what it is. This band creates healing music, and that is EXACTLY what I hear with each track, even the heavy ones.
Well put. I myself am in that latter group but I keep what I know to myself out of respect. While I think they deserve recognition for the insane amount of sheer talent I understand their wish to remain anonymous and I respect it, them and their wish to focus on their fantastic music.
Real fans didnt go and look them up after they got doxxed. We knew they wanted to be anonymous and some people went directly against that wish. Thats disrespectful
This song has a lot of lyrical callbacks to many of their earlier songs, with the ending being a direct callback to 'The Night Does Not Belong To God'; the first song on their first ever album! This song is a very emotional ending to the recent album imo
@@brianalmeida1964 absolutely!! That said, I’ve seen a lot of people be emotional over this song even without knowing the callbacks, so it could just be the song lol 😂
So to answer some questions you had, Vessel, the lead singer composes all of the music with the drummer. He also plays the piano live. The reason they are anonymous is because they want it to be all about the music and not who created it! They also consider themselves in a sense, a worship band
To clarify further, II just does everything with percussion, while Vessel composes and plays all of the other instruments for the studio recordings. He and one other also do all of the production for their records too. TLDR The man is MASSIVELY talented.
Only two musicians are credited on this album. Vessel - all vocals, guitars, bass, piano & keyboards, and II - all drums and percussions. Vessel is also credited with production along with Carl Bown. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
@rodney5476 I haven't heard anything officially, just the same rumours as yourself. There's nothing on the website and nothing on any of the emails I receive from them either! Maybe they will announce something when they finish touring. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
Actually the FANS are the ones that DON'T know who each of them are, as we respect their wishes and the vibes of not knowing. Its not just a band, its a little bit of theater as well.
“i know nothing about this band other than the fact that they put out bangin music.” That’s exactly the point! that’s essentially why they’re anonymous the way they are, they want people to focus solely on their music or “offerings”, saying who they are isn’t nearly as important as what they want to share with us. They said this in their only interview they ever gave. As for who plays piano, the singer Vessel is pretty much doing everything aside from the drums, which are vessel ii’s realm. They’re both crazy talented musicians, i’m glad you’re enjoying their stuff!
Vessel plays everything except drums. The songs are written by and done by Vessel and II who plays drums/percussion, then III and IV joined as touring members playing guitar and bass but they’re basically full members now. They’re anon by choice as Vessel wants everything to be about the music and not what they look like. I know who they all are but I won’t tell anyone out of respect for them and the fans 🖤worship🖤
@@Pessimiist yeah he’s awesome!! He comes across as quite shy in real life. I won’t say names or any more details but I love his character on stage. I also love that IV is coming out of his shell more too and Vessel 🖤
don't forget the song Rain as its mentioned When the Bough Breaks, as its mentioned. and DYWTYLM as I have turned into someone new, as that was a lyric from that song.
I think Vessel is incredibly shy and introvert and hurt so much he wanted to hide. He hid in the music and when it came to performing, he just carried on hiding…
I'm the type to just naturally want to solve the mystery, so yeah, I did the research, and honestly it deepened the enjoyment for me. At the same time, I get why they're doing the anonymous thing, so of course I wouldn't go out of my way to tell someone who didn't want to know. That'd be...weird 😄
@@SquawkMonk it makes me appreciate Vessel's talent even more. That guy has had chops for decades. It isn't my fault I know. Blame RUclips but I'm not sorry that I know so there but I didn't try to find out anything.
@@chromesthesia 😂 all right well I totally just looked, I'm not gonna front...but yes, his talent is insane and apparently continues to get better. I can't wait to see what they do next!

Out of all the songs on TMBTE, this was the one that broke me and had me crying. I think it was all those callbacks that did it!
@@brianalmeida1964 absolutely!! That said, I’ve seen a lot of people be emotional over this song even without knowing the callbacks, so it could just be the song lol 😂
its supposed to be cyclical, like the relationship between vessel and slleep, not just a call back
@@vitalsteve1 very true, but I figured phrasing it as a “callback” would make a bit more sense for people who have only heard the new album
@@yvelt7al521 fair enough :D

I read a rumor that III and IV are officially in the band now - you know anything about that?

i acrually really enjoy not knowing elwho they are. i idolize the band and their music, not the individuals
Agreed. I dont want to know. Their names aren't important to me. I want to admire the music, which clearly is what they intended.

Same. I got manners and shit.
@@chromesthesia worship 🖤
Bassy boi has such lovely energy live, and I'd like to think that it's partly because of the freedom of being III and not have a name, ya know?
@@Pessimiist yeah he’s awesome!! He comes across as quite shy in real life. I won’t say names or any more details but I love his character on stage. I also love that IV is coming out of his shell more too and Vessel 🖤
it's a full circle cycle to the first song on their first LP,
That song being The Night Does Not Belong To God, hear it.
Worship
don't forget the song Rain as its mentioned
When the Bough Breaks, as its mentioned.
and DYWTYLM as I have turned into someone new, as that was a lyric from that song.
Actually, Vessel and Drummer writes and performs everything in the studio. They hire musicians that perform live.
Not true, the 4 members are consistent other than the guitarist that has changed once.
Good to see a musician reacting
Yep, vessel plays piano. Total beast
When you said it sounds like a choir, that's a Vocoder. Vessel plays piano.
i adore this song ❤️
It's great to see a fresh reaction from a drummers perspective. You mentioned a lot of things that most others wouldn't pick up on. Great content man.
WORSHIP
Listening to this song makes me feel like my favorite sports team won the championship
its presumed the band "blacklit canopy" Leo Faulkner and Gemma Matthews. If they are sleep token members the pianist would be Gemma.
I have seen so many reactions. i really loved this one. You have a spark too you!
Fantastic piece of music right here🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think Vessel is incredibly shy and introvert and hurt so much he wanted to hide. He hid in the music and when it came to performing, he just carried on hiding…
Perhaps it allows him to be his true self and let lose. I respect it.
Vessel is playing the piano.
Because they want people to music, not people!
Leo Faulkner from Blacklit Canopy on piano and lead vocals.
If you went and looked them up after they got doxed, youre not a real fan.
If you REALLY want to know the actual names, just google it.. HOWEVER.. once you know it messes with how you interpret the band, BE WARNED.
It didn't ruin it for me, but everyone is different. Also I could always be wrong
Tbh it made me feel guilty, knowing they’re identities at the time when they wished people to not identify them.
