"Aqua Regia" would be the one from the new releases you'd like best. You being a jazz dude would love it.
I can't wait to see him take a look at Aqua Regia!
Yes! he would definetly love that one. Took the words right out of my fingers.
I second that!
It also caused me to get "Cinema" stuck in my head again. I thought I was finally free
I 3rd that, he will love it
My only complaint is that I can't re-experience Sleep Token for the first time again. They're incredibly talented.
I went in blind yesterday and heard the entirety of their new album on the recommendation of someone in a discord server. And now I just need to watch other people experience this song in particular, because holy moly.
Sleep token is a band with 4 members on tour, from what I'm aware of, the singer (Vessel) and drummer (II) are the only members in the writing/recording process. "Sleep Token" apparently comes from their concept of the band, with 'Sleep' being an ancient deity and their music as an offering or token. This is the reason for the cloaks, masks, cultlike appearance and their fans using the term 'Worship'
There's 7 of them on tour: bass, guitar, drums, vessel, and three backing vocalists
The guitarist also does harsh vocals live
@@PatrickMullenDrums yea I just noticed that after watching a video of the summoning live and was a lil shocked but it's really cool
…offering???
@@USHARDY Yes. "This is a giving, an offering
In your favour, a sacrifice in your name..."
Worship!
"a gumbo of melody, power, punch and darkness, all at the same time" is the best description of sleep token I've ever heard
I was literally just thinking about sleep token as a gumbo the other day LMAO
it's a cosmic gumbo
There aren't any blast beats in The Summoning.
It's just an interesting double kick pattern with a solid back beat
Lol came here to say that. When he said “those are blast beats… in case you didn’t know… because I know these things” I was like: “nah. Apparently you don’t.” 😅
Ya as a drummer myself those are definitely not blast beats. It's a syncopated kick pattern that the band plays simultaneously commonly referred to as a breakdown or a djenty/chuggy section for lack of better terminology. Blast beats are something different entirely, not only in the sticking pattern but also in the way they are played and how they sound with both the drums and the band as a whole.
Broooo... Was thinking the same thing. I love it lol
@@muze666 triggers are irrelevant to this discussion
It triggered me when he called them
blast beats lol
Lily's vocals are so good!
For real
Look at little Lily go
@@brandibilliot6912 shhh
Who the heck is Lilly
lol
@@brandibilliot6912 slap on the hand for you
Vessel has stated that their anonymity is because they want the music to be the focus. And I appreciate a band that doesn't use anonymity as an aesthetic
You will LOVE their latest one "Aqua Regia"! Includes piano! :D
There's a prominence of piano in that song that he will LOVE for sure.
I just discovered this band YESTERDAY. I’m already obsessed
That's exactly what happened with me too!
Welcome to the rabbit hole.
I really like the way Vessel plays the keys over the heavy sections. It just adds another dynamic to their sound. I love this band. Thanks.
You're welcome
No blast beats in this song. lol love you still bro!
Sleep Token is so wonderfully unique. It’s like… this dark, powerful, ethereal, fluid experience with each song. I’m not gonna lie, listening to them normally puts me in a kind of sad, wistful mood, which in any other circumstance, I would not prefer, but their music has this draw on me, and I can’t seem to resist it.
Well put! I just discovered them about a week ago, and I don’t remember the last time a band drew me in like this.
Crazy to see how much Sleeptoken is blowing up with these new songs for the next album coming. Been listening to them for years now. MINE is by far my favorite song.
They jumped from 300k monthly listeners on Spotify, to more than 1.5 million from these 4 tracks alone, it's insane.
@Carmalarms oh yea ive been listening since they had a out 15k and to see that they are about to break 2m is insane to me
Same!
This band deserves every bit of praise coming their way. So expertly crafted, composed, presented, just mind boggling and unique. People will TRY to emulate it and fail.
Fr sleep token the most OP 🙌
Please do more Sleep Token! They have three other singles they released around the same time as this one!
Not actually blast beats though. That was just a double bass groove. Blast beats often involve the playing of straight or triplet 16th notes between the feet and hands... the hands and feet are played at the exact same time.
The time signature in this song is always in 4/4 btw. 😁
Is it really always 4/4? Wow I thought it was odmetered?
If you can/don't mind can you please explain how this is?
Oh is it just their syncopation making it sound like that odmetered feel?
I feel like Sleep Token lets the instruments and other band members shine with the lead singer more than other bands with in the genre. I personally really like that the singing isn’t pushed to the forefront.
Them and Leprous, they're both fab bands when it comes to exactly that.
One thing i have learned from hearing these guys, the choruses are always huge and beautifully done.
Sleep token is the most true to form, a band that has quite literally something for everybody if you delve into their discography
Nicely put. I’ve been a fan since Jericho back in 2018. So unique
Such a great track. The funky part is absolutely beautiful, my favorite part of this song
They've been syncopating the Hell out of their music with these releases, avoiding the one and playing with different emphatic placements like nobody's business. I've been a huge fan since I discovered them, and they continue to surprise and delight!
I would love to see you do Aqua Regia from Sleep Token!
Lily is clearly the vocalist.
David: Name that song.
My ADHD brain: "Evenflooooow. Thoughts arrive like butterflies!"
I love your enthusiasm when you react to songs, you get so enveloped in it, I can feel that energy!
About your interesting question about the improvised solos in this style of music: It's true that this style of modern/post/whatever metal doesn't include that much improvisation as everything is often so specifically written. However, for example in this song, the drummer (II) usually plays a drum solo over the ambient section before the funky outro. These kinds of small improvisations are more common in live settings where applicable, but for the most part the musical style just doesn't lend itself that well for improvisation.
I always look forward to your reactions! You understand and communicate music so well!
As a jazz pianist myself who loves this type of music, I honestly believe the reason that there is not as much improvisation in solos is simply because the musicians don’t specialize in improv. Not to mention, you can typically create a more conforming part when you can take the time to create it, and these types of musicians prefer to compose songs that sound good as opposed to songs that are technically impressive. But that’s just my take🤷♂️
I appreciate that you talk about music in an educated manner while also keeping it easily digestible for those who may not know or understand a lot about it.
I really enjoyed this analysis from someone who isn’t actively listening to this blend of different styles. I would be incredibly interested in a reaction to Aqua Regia next. It’s more your style
I love jazz and I also love metal. I absolutely love Sleep Token
This band, as well as maaaaaybe 2 or 3 other bands which I'm not gonna mention,...are GENRE BENDING GENIUSES!!!!& I have absolutely no problem with that with that
The Summoning is in 4/4, and they occasionally switch to half time, especially at the end.
being a piano guy atlantic would be a good one from them
You have to do Aqua Regia by sleep token next. It’s got some beautiful piano.
To answer your question about improv in metal, there is some in stuff like prog, and often live guitar players will improvise a little bit, but I think for the most part metal is so focused on the groove right? People want to head bang and bounce, so throwing in curveballs and unexpected stuff can take people out of that. A lot of metalheads listen to stuff for the technicality and skill, but a majority just wanna throw themselves around and go crazy so it's hard to appreciate in the moment
I fucking love your keys and the notes you add. It honestly adds to it
Sleep Token. And Pain of Salvation. You’ve certainly got my attention now. These fellas absolutely killing it. My daughter has been lucky enough to see them three times live now. We both love them.
In the studio it’s just two guys. The drummer, two and the singer, Vessel. Vessel plays everything apart from the drums. Live they’re augmented with guitar bass and three backing singers. Epic
I've watched a lot of "The Summoning" reaction videos and the constant fact is the surprise from each content creator, can't catch the time signatures or are just baffled by the flow of the piece, amazing stuff!
Thank you! Was waiting for your analysis
i love how he can't help but mess with the piano while he's listening, really shows how much he loves music ❤
5:21 was actually not a blast beat lmao
it shouldnt have effected me as much as it did
Lmaooo I was just about to say this
"Those are called blast beats"
Dammit David 😂😂
more like double paddle triplets..those werent blast beats
Not a blast beat to be found in this song.
@@kylehoskinson6901thank god for that.
It's weird, but Vessel's vocals occasionally remind me of John Legend's vocals on Magnetic Man's "Getting Nowhere"
I’ve been waiting for this!! So excited 😆
Please, on god, you have to listen to more of their songs, I love how insightful you are, and sleep token have absolutely captured my soul for the past year ❤️
Y'all really need to go down the rabbit hole and keep going this band has a hold on so many of us and you really need to look into the lore that will explain the questions y'all are asking . Each song is a beautiful sometimes heartbreaking sometimes epic sometimes will make you cry and feel things you didn't know you could feel. Sometimes you get anger and rage and other times you get everything all in one song.
Yesss, so glad you checked this out. Wicked song.
Also Aqua Regia by sleep token like everyone else is saying.
Great vid!
It takes a true Jazz musician to really appreciate that last wee segment ❤
Finally 😍 been waiting for your reaction
Finally!!!!!
Someone who clearly knows what's going on from a sound standpoint
Fantano couldn't even if getting his hair back depended on it
Glad you're back!
EVEEEN FLOOOW
Thoughts arrive like butterflieeees
Sleep token is art the genre of music is yes
freakin vibed with it a super lot. epic energy. Can’t stop listening to this! 🤘
You need to check out “alkaline, an offering from 2”. INCREDIBLE DRUM WORK. Flawless at the very least
Even Flow!
This review is sick! Excellent. Yes…there is a lot going on here..loved it!
Been waiting for this!!! Yessssss!!!!!
They have names tho:
Vessel (I) - the singer
Vessel II - the drummer
Vessel III - the bassist
Vessel IV - the guitarist
You can refer to them by their numbers. The more you know.
vessel 1 is really vessel emeritus. I'll show myself out.
@@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629 lol, indeed, maybe they are also Scooby Doo chase music enthusiasts
@@deadalonethe1 This could get me killed, but I've been to Vessel's place and he has a Square Hammer.
@@deadalonethe1 They do be dancin' macabre
Only watched 2 vids, your humour is right on my level. Subbed 👌🏻
Love seeing your reaction to this one! I think you'd absolutely love their other new singles, namely Aqua Regia. You'll totally dig that one and hope to see your take on it soon! Granite and Chokehold are also killer.
Aside from Sleep Token, I'd love to see you dig into SHREZZERS! Start with their song Mystery and enjoy the journey from there.
Keep it up sir!
FINALLY!! I’VE BEEN LIKE SOMEONE ALERT THIS DAVID OF NEW SLEEP TOKEN!! Also just go listen to all of the new singles. You’ll love them all!
hmmm. the way you ignite through each thing you hear is a very "played by ear" type feel. you hear each key, and its a feeling. thats how i learned guitar. so wonderful to watch the gears turn. thanks buddy. you should think about putting that knowledge to either paper, or teaching... if you dont already. great channel man, thank you.
thank you for the blast beat info xD
It’s wrong!
I've been hoping for this one
Yay! You’re back!
Have you reviewed any King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard? Honey or Straws In The Wind. I’ll have to look through your video library.
you will absolutely LOVE Sleep Token's new song Aqua Regia!
been waiting!
Bro that's the first time I watch a vid of him. He is like the funny guy with good humour
I just adoreeeeeeee sleep token, make me feel some way no other band has
First off the whole video is great, great in depth reaction. I've gotta correct you though those aren't called blast beats in that breakdown, just straight "rock beat" with a kick pattern underneath. Maybe just the mix that threw off what you were hearing or something
Oh noooooooooooo. @5:10 those aren't blast beats. Just a bunch of 16th notes on the bass drum. Blast beats would be constant on the bass, cymbal, and snare all at the same time
Aqua Regia. 100% up your alley
David, you basically summed Sleep Token up in one go here. powerful, intense, beautiful and dark.
Also PLEASE DO TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN track off their new album
Drummer is an absolute unit
No one from London is called Chet or Chuck FYI.
Also the only similarity in voice to Vessel I've managed to make is the singer from Biffy Clyro
Love or hate Sleep Token, you need to acknowledge that Vessel got a beautiful tone and ii is an amazing drummer.
Even Flow love it. Sleep token is one of my favorites right now
EVEN FLOOOOOOOWWWW, such a jam
I'd love to hear more of a theoretical breakdown from you too, discussing chord progressions, melody choices, timing etc.
The time signature of the verses and guitar solo threw me off for a while too, but... it's actually ALL 4/4! The offbeat rhythms make it challenging to follow, but if you link up the first vocal line with the same line in the baby-makin' funk portion, ("I've got a river running right into you"), it's the same vocal rhythm. Go back to the first verse and you'll hear that the pattern is the same. it will give you a solid foundation to follow the 4/4 through all of the density.
i like to think of this song as the modern version of bohemian rapsody
never felt so valid to subconsciously recognize a tune as this intro
It's like Tool crossed with massive Attack, Deicide and Steely Dan
He's back! The Music shed is back!
Another great reaction! To your point of improv solos, I'd say that's more of an experimental/prog genre-type thing to do. While Sleep Token is prog/metalcore/other (possibly experimental), it's just really not something done too often, as you said. If you're interested in some improv-style solos, I'd go with:
The Mars Volta (songs like Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of), Cicatriz Esp, Tetragrammaton (~17 min song))
The Fall of Troy (songs like Rockstar Nailbomb!, Reassurance Rests in the Sea)
TMV and TFOT are definitely proggy. Just thought I'd give some recommendations that might suit what you're talking about! :)
Your energy feels a little different than I remember watching you a long time ago. Hope you're not too burnt out haha. Anyways I enjoy watching bro.
Subbed just for that little hand fart in the beginning. Here we go!
Hope to see you react to some of the new songs like Aqua Regia and Granite. Would also love to see a 5 BY for Sleep Token!
Would love to hear your take on Aqua Regia. Very jazzy
Yeah, you’re right about the snare. It’s strung pretty fucking hard. It slaps cuz II knows what he’s doing.
Worship!
Them being anonymous honestly adds to their creativity. Makes them seem inhuman which is cool.
Super cool
Not a blast beat... At least not in the metalcore/deathcore world that I know
5:22
yea haha, Just double kicks under a regular "1 2 snare 4" ^^
YES! Finally!
Even Flowwww one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs but Black is my favorite song and also love the reaction The Summoning is what got me into them.
I stumbled upon Sleep Token only recently. And I LOVE THEM ... The singer goes by Vessel
You’d love Euclid! Best ending to an album ever!
Love this song!!
It’s not a new song but it’s my fave and it did win a Grammy. Please listen to “Cirice” by Ghost. (The music video is fun too) 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
