Not all their songs are this heavy. But this band is absolutely incredible. Definitely need to dive down the rabbit hole with this one. They literally don’t know how to make bad music.

Oh they have a few filler songs, imo. THe super slow stuff on previous albums was just "meh" to me. The 4 singles from the upcoming album are spot on, though.

@@RandomApexLootbox i get what you mean. I personally wouldn’t call them “filler songs” though. I know they might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Some of them require a certain state of mind to really appreciate them. There were a few I couldn’t really get into at first, but went back to later and it just hit differently. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@paintedlady_81 Жыл бұрын

Exactly. There were a bunch that I wasn’t that into the first time through. Hypnosis was one. I had never even heard of them, but they opened a show I went to last year. Higher hooked me. I was intrigued and they stole the show, for me. Now, I love Hypnosis, Alkaline, even The Love You Want and on, and on. Even the ones I don’t necessarily love, I can appreciate.

@CorneliusYeasteroni Жыл бұрын

You guys mentioned that you couldn't really hear the vocals as well as you want. Sleep Token did that intentionally. They mix their music so every piece is equally as important and no one part is more important than another. As opposed to most pop music quieting the track and letting the vocals be front and center. I think that's why people love ST because they don't miss in any category!

That's not as uncommon as you'd think, not to take away from Vessel from being someone that can do it. Prince, Beck, Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, Kim Dracula, Dave Grohl on the first Foo Fighters album, Damon Albarn from Gorillaz, Brendon Small. Just a few off the top of my head.

@Earthshadow4 Жыл бұрын

I have been impatiently waiting for y'all to do ST since you did Will Ramos' cover of Hypnosis. They've blown up with Summoning this month. You never know what you're going to get with these guys musically, I can see y'all getting into them. Welcome to the rabbit hole 😂

@Earthshadow4 Жыл бұрын

To give some more background though I'm positive you're going to get a lot of people elaborating on the band: Sleep Token is an anonymous collection of musicians. The band lore goes that they're united in worship of an ancient deity only known as Sleep who appeared to Vessel, the singer, in a dream. The songs are taken to be sort of offerings or rituals to her. Bit or genuine belief, all members are masked, cover themselves in body paint, and Vessel at least has never spoken on stage. There's so much symbolism in their music, a whole section of the Discord is dedicated to hashing it all out. They've done one interview, email only, with Loudwire several years ago and iterated not to think of genre when it comes to them. Musically, that tracks. They'll do switch ups like this in their music, but Summoning is probably the most switch-y of their tracks in my opinion. They'll go anywhere from metalcore sounds to funk to R&B to some pretty gorgeous piano ballads to jazz and beyond. Sundowning is their first album, it's phenomenal. This Place Will Become Your Tomb is their second, also great. And the recent singles are believed from a leaked tracklist to be part of an upcoming album Take Me Back to Eden. I'm a pretty genre-fluid person when it comes to what I listen to so that's why they appeal to me a lot, and from watching y'all you seem to enjoy or at least appreciate that stuff which is why I'd hazard you'll like some of their other songs. You'll get the running lists of recommended songs so I won't repeat them, but they haven't had a song I haven't liked, so if you do look more into them, it should all be pretty good! The few music videos they have are also trippy. Happy listening!

Gentlemen. I am really enjoying your reactions. This old disabled veteran has a long time favorite 'christian' band called project 86 that have been together for over 25 years. I've met the lead singer and he's not only a very talented writer but he's also a pretty stellar human being. They just released two songs called 'metatropolis' and another called '0 is greater than 1.' Songs themselves are about the future of humankind and the dangers of transhumanism. The videos are incredible and it's the heaviest stuff to date for the band. I would love for you guys to review these two songs not only because it would bring more exposure to project 86 as a band but it would forever cement my love for your channel. Take care gents.

I recommend checking out their other new songs like Granite or Aqua Regia to get a feel for just how diverse this band is - their old stuff is just as magnificent. From their classics, I recommend: - The Offering - Calcutta - The Love You Want - Blood Sport (There are two versions... Do both. Start with the album version.)

Lore time with Sleep Token nerd: Vessel is now with the lover he encountered in Chokehold. He’s got a “river running right into (them)” or a “blood trail, red in the blue” which indicates there’s blood in that river, despite him being tied to them. The chorus is Vessel accepting the other person as a lover, saying he wants them, to ascend as lovers with them. (this info is not mine)
