This band was made to watch others discover them. We all want to go back and listen to it for the first time and ride that wave. You won't be disappointed!

Enjoy the view numbers, we will always come to Worship ❤

Go down the rabbit hole. It's worth it !

Ascenionism next. Trust.

Reactions like this are a precious resource. It truly is a pleasure to see someone get sucked in as quickly as I did when I first heard them. Experiencing sleep token for the first time through someone else is amazing. You will find that each song is different and to not hold too many expectations. Highly recommend doing a first to last play through starting at either their EP One or at Sundowning. Either is good. The reason why I recommend this is that they have a lyrical and musical concept running from beginning to end through their work so far. Enjoy!

i've watched hundreds of reactions to Sleep Token and this is instantly one of my favorites. It's amazing that you discovered them on your own, was absorbed into the song--catching all the small intricacies, and you're going to explore them on your own, so you can fully immerse yourself in it. The song choice was perfect....in my opinion, everything they've done is good, but I feel like there seems to be a 'key' for Sleep Token, and it's not the same 'key' for everyone--a song that just makes it all click. And I feel like you might have found your key to Sleep Token on the very first song you decided to check out from them (one that unfortunately doesn't have enough reactions out there to it)...this was awesome to watch!

"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 (the lead vocalist) Discovering Sleep Token is such a joy, and I love going on the journey with react channels as you learn the wonder that is Sleep Token. Worship.

I have fallen I love with this bands music recently. They wear mask and are anonymous. The singer goes by Vessel and the drummer is 2 but in Roman numerals ii. They are the 2 founding members. Everything but the drums are done by Vessel then drum and writing drum parts goes to ii. The have a bass player and lead guitarist for when they perform live. Bassist goes by iii (3) and lead guitarist is iv (4). Im here for it. 😊❤

My guy! .... I subscribed to you immediately when I saw you did a sleep token reaction .... Just keep going with this band it gets even better!

Sleep Token is an anonymous, masked band which has a lore. The band doesn't do any interviews really and therefore don't actually explain much about their individual background, however one thing they have explained was their origin story. It is said that the main vocalist (Vessel) has been visited in his dream by an ancient deity, which he refers to as "Sleep". This deity has promised him glory and prosperity in return for his devotion and loyalty. Apparently, Sleep has send him on a mission to lure as many people into its cult as possible. In order to do that Vessel has created the band and all members are just as devoted to the deity as he is. Which is why they all function as "vessels" for this ancient deity. It is all not an actual cult or anything like that, so dont worry. It is just a marketing thing, but the members take it VERY seriously. Their music is said to be a token to this deity...thats why they are called Sleep Token. The vocalist is technically Vessel I, the drummer is Vessel II, the bassist is Vessel III and the guitarist is Vessel IV, however aside from Vessel I all the other instrumentalists are just referred to by their numbers, so II, III and IV. the drummer II has an AMAZING hour-long play through/interview of some of their biggest songs uploaded on the Drumeo channel, as well as 2 or 3 other uploads on the sleep token channel if you're interested in that. He is truly phenomenal and fascinating to watch! Lyric-wise it is very smart because they basically (according to MOST interpretations) write songs about love and relationships, which can also be interpreted as Vessel simply worshipping Sleep... Sonically the band is known for very atmospheric builds, huge epic choruses, lots of RnB/Pop influence, jazz, funk, prog metal, alternative, acoustic stuff too they kinda do it all and Vessel has the talent to somehow make these different genres blend well while maintaining a unique sound as a band...idk he is truly gifted. they do have some heavy songs or at least heavy parts within some songs, but they aren't your typical metal band for sure the heavier stuff would be something like Gods, Vore, The Summoning, Hypnosis, Ascensionism (partially), The Offering (partially), Higher (partially), maybe Chokehold and High Water? they have some GREAT RnB and pop stuff that could easily top the charts as well like Granite, Sugar, Aqua Regia, Rain, The Apparition, Atlantic, The Love You Want, Fall For Me, Descending, Like That they got Ballads as well and their first two EPs were very dark, spooky, artsy and atmospheric AF

They got 3 albums of greatness. Everything is amazing

Go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole! Its a fusion band at its best! Metal roots, branching into hip-hop, R&B, and jazz with gospel influence. You gotta try them out more. Songs id reccomend: Ascentionism The Summoning Higher Alkaline The Night Does Not Belong to God Granite Atlantic

Sleep Token reaction videos are my new addiction. It allows me to hear them vicariously for the first time. I wish I could have captured and bottled what I felt with each song. Truly nothing like it.

Everyone here (and we are here lmao, like winged insects to a funeral pyre) immediately loves you and NEEDS to see the complete journey. Trust.

You should definitely listen to more. You will not be disappointed! Every song takes you on roller coaster ride. They are truly amazing. I just saw them live and it was incredible

Instantly rewinding it back like “that didn’t hurt me enough” ❤️ love the reaction

Take a journey down the Sleep Token rabbit hole!! Please. You won't be disappointed!!!!! 🙏🤘

You nailed it with your interpretation of the meaning. It's a person who had feelings for someone so hard and were hurt so bad in the past, that even decades later it haunts them in their sleep. They don't remember the details but they remember the feeling and relive it in their dreams. Something I think we can all relate to if you've lived long enough. If you want to see the drummer perform the beats you should watch II (two, his stage name) on Drumeo.

They are amazing!!!! I can't even tell you what song to listen to next because they're all SO DAMN GOOD! I'll watch all your reaction videos of Sleep Token, no question! You got a sub!

Their music is amazing and the lyricism is out of this world. I love this band.

Chokehold, Ascenionism then Atlantic…bangers with different vibes

Sleep Token is AMAZING. The Album "Take Me Back to Eden" is the best thing that came out in the "Metal" scene in the past 5 years.

Do it. You wont be disappointed. The Apparition is off the latest album, Take Me Back To Eden which is the third album of a trilogy. I have definite favorites. This band is genius at blending genres. There can be R&B, Rock, Metal and Pop all in one song and it blends perfectly. This might be my favorite band currently. They just wrapped up a headlining tour of the US and are touring Canada and they're about to go back overseas. They're anonymous but we do know they're from London, England.

You can’t comprehend the lore or the things he struggles with unless you start at the beginning with “The night does not belong to God”✨🌔☁️

Here to worship my fav band ever! 🙏🏼

Start from the sundowning album and let fans go on the journey with you reviewing and reacting to the songs on each album in the trilogy in order. You will definitely get new subscribers 🙌🏼

Subscribing and seconding other people saying go down the rabbit hole!

Cant wait till he discovers and listens to Take me back to Eden. that song SLAPS

Subscribed just to watch your Sleep Token journey. People are gonna suggest their songs from their latest album, I would really suggest starting with their early stuff so you can see their musical progression and the progression of the story.

Just subscribed! Fell in love with this band a few months ago - can’t stop listening to their songs! Excited to see you dive into their repertoire 😊

“Let’s hijack heaven with another memory now” is 1 of my favorite lyrics ever. Vessel’s words are so damn deep and just don’t miss.

Crazy you started with this song! Welcome to the rabbit hole!

What I would give to go back in time and listen to these songs again for the first time. It’s an absolute pleasure seeing others hear them for the first time

The Apparition is so underrated 😢

So worth just starting the journey of their 3 albums. So so so good, a full journey and story, call backs and all. We would love to watch the journey!

Worship! Welcome in the rabbit hole of sleep token

Very haunting 😇

Oh, welcome to the club sir. This band is an obsession that unfolds very quickly. Can’t wait to see you react to more!

Welcome to Sleep Token!

Sleep Token is the definition of therapy in music.

TIME TO GO DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. Please go through their discography. It's beautiful and heart wrenching! SUBSCRIBED.

🔥

Welcome to the Sleep Token train, sir. Enjoy the (epic) ride! There's nothing out there like their music :)

Worship. Welcome to the club

Welcome to the mind of Vessel! This band fills a part in your soul you never knew needed to be filled. Reactions like this feels like listening to the song for the first time. That’s why we are here and I am here for it! Worship!!!

Enjoy the ride. You won’t regret it

This band is AMAZING!!! New sub! I hope you do more! I am here for it

Omg you're gonna go down the rabbit hole, if you wanna understand their music more look them up there's a whole story behind their albums and you should check them all out and in order, catching all the lyrical call backs and connecting the dots and all is soo fun

the fact you just happened upon sleep token is crazy, this band makes music completely unbound by genre, id check out more of their stuff

Welcome in the rabbit hole 😂👍 Next one is Take me back to Eden. You need to hear that 😎

With sleep token you're also gonna listen to every genre there is lol

Welcome new member. WORSHIP

I am really hoping you record your reactions to the songs as you discover them for the first time! I would do anything to go back and listen to all songs for the first time…..watching 1st time reactions is about as close as I will get. Subscribed

SLEEEEEP TOKEN!

Fun fact Vessel wrote and did vocals, guitars, piano. basically everything but the drums on the albums.

You're in for a ride my Brother

Welcome to the Sleep Token rabbit hole! I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to hear Sleep Token for the first time. Enjoy!

Do more reaction videos with Sleep Token!! Your reactions are genuine, and You're gonna be mind-blown 🤘

Now you've got to go down the rabbit hole. And listen to all three albums to get the full meaning of what vessel is trying to convey to us. And if you'd like to change ups and this song you should definitely listen to the summoning. The beat they drop at the end will drive you insane

I’m in a chokehold by this band!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Duuuude I know what you mean about listening to the instruments changing things. I never paid attention to drumming before, it was all a mess of noisy cymbals and thumps, but after watching the offerings by their drummer II on Sleep Token’s KZfaq channel I have a new appreciation for it. He is such a master of his craft and makes it look so effortless! And his interview with Drumeo was incredibly fascinating! Also if you start from their early stuff and work forward, you can really hear Vessel’s voice develop over time. He was always good but you can tell he never stopped improving. Hell I saw them live for the first time last week and was blown away by how he is STILL growing his versatility and depth of his voice, even a year out from their latest album release!

Do more sleep token! I would listen to “Ascensionism”!!!

Enjoy this Sleep Token journey bro! I can tell you I haven't really got into a lot of newer music in the last decade or so. I'm going to be 49 years old in my musical taste is all over the place. But let me tell you I stumbled across Sleep Token back in January and I can't stop listening to them. They are amazing. You haven't seen anything yet. Enjoy brother!

Enjoy your research! I love Sleep Token and feel the same exact way when I listen to them. Each song is an experience. I have been blessed to see them live 3 times in the past year.

Trying to jump into the story here is like starting a novel 3/4 of the way through😂

lol, you have entered the realm of a god tier band and be thankful for this life changing experience. They have a 3 album trilogy and I'd strongly recommend starting from the beginning and I make that suggestion for a specific reason as you will totally understand when you reach the end of the third album. There are songs on the first 2 albums that I didn't care for, like the Sleep Token was fleshing out their sound but by the time you hit the third album they have figured out the matrix and gift you with IMHO the best album of all time with nothing in existance as a close second. :D

Now you need to react to a II drumeo playthrough. Theres one hour long vid that they broke up into some individual songs. He has some playthroughs on the sleep token channel but they dont have vocals, where the drumeo ones do :) you might want to wear a helmet to contain your blown mind tho

Welcome to the rabbit hole

This band is amazing. Its full on theater production, emotional soundscapes. You want your mind blown? Go back to the EP's through the albums. Its a full story arch. Everybody always says " wtf just happened"😂

i see other people have already explained the band's names but i haven't seen anyone explain that they're all vessels to a god called sleep (vessel the singer is technically vessel1, drummer is vessel2, etc, but they've all been shortened to vessel, ii, iii, and iv). so my personal take on the song is that vessel lost someone, probably to death, and Sleep lets him visit this person in dreams. which is why when he's dreaming, he's happy "let's make trouble in the dream world, hijack heaven with another memory" but upon waking he's in a "suicide frenzy" and begging "let me go or take me with you"

Sleep Token - fantastic only) Only fantastic) As always. Thanks for the true reaction. Like)

Welcome to the journey that is Sleep token. Start from the beginning and you will enjoy the hell out of this ride. Much love from boston

I highly recommend going down the Sleep Token rabbit hole. Their music is unparalleled. The lyrics of every song are extremely deep. Ascensionism, Take Me Back To Eden, The Summoning (please do this one next), Granite, Aklaline, Hypnosis, Sugar, Higher, and The Offering are my suggestions. You won't find a more diverse band out there with lyrics this deep. They have no genre, switching from classical to R&B to scream metal to even gospel, sometimes all in the same song. Their 3 albums are a trilogy that tell an exciting but toxic love story from beginning to end with a lore you can get lost in. This song is about reminiscing a toxic relationship that he can't let go. This person hurt him in ways he couldn't imagine, but he keeps seeing her in his dreams as this deity, a goddess in his eyes, but that makes it all the more painful. He doesn't want to wake up from the dream because she'll be gone, and he worries, when he dreams again, that she may not come back. It's like an addiction, he wakes up feeling empty and contemplating self-deletion, and the only way he knows to feel better is to go after it again. This is also an endless cycle for him as noted by the verse repeating at the end of the song and the drop in that last bit. The cycle is repeating every time he sleeps. This song is but one snapshot of this story.

please do more reactions, i beg you! the journey is so so worth it,

Sleep token is the greatest band we have had since the fkn 80’s and even then they are better than 98% of them !! don’t even argue with me it’s just fkn FACTS!!

Gonna throw this out there if you go down this rabbit hole start from the beginning of their band so that the last track on their 3rd studio album Take Me Back to Eden hits you even harder and crazier. All of it ties together :)

welcome to the worship

If you want to experience hard rock and metal in a way you’ve never experienced then check out Alter Bridge. The lead singer has a 4 octave vocal range. Listen to the song Fortress and Blackbird. They’re this generations answer to Led Zeppelin.

Worship, they are awesome live

"Bro, this is messing with my brain"...welcome to ST good sir, enjoy the journey...there's a lot to discover.

Sleep Token claims another one. Love to see it! Definitely give Ascensionism a listen.

Every single song is a banger from these guys, and the fanbase is some of the most invested fans for any band. All 3 albums are one story, a trilogy. Sundowning is the first album, Tomb is my personal favorite album

Love watching other people witness it for the first time!!

Get ready to have every one of your expectations be subverted - go into every song with no expectations whatsoever. Just enjoy the ride they take you on.

Vessel's lyrics have been messing with my head for years! Welcome to the rabbit hole! They are their own genre. Each song is different and everything from screaming metal to heartbreaking acoustic with some rap and jazz dropped in. Not even going to attempt to get into the lore here. The drummer ii is next level and has done some playthroughs and a video with Drumeo with other playthroughs and a very very rare interview. As for other songs, can't go wrong with whatever you choose! Worship!
