I discovered them prior to them to release their first album, and discovering back this treats from their early EPs where this track feature was awesome. I guess you had more treats to discover. The only downside i see is the opportunities to see them live in small venues. Now it's impossible.
You say that, however I went to see them in Manchester in the early days. Tiny gig, they were supporting at the academy. I absolutely loved them and had to stand in a crowd of people talking over them because they weren't appreciated as they should have been. It was so frustrating! Although I'm happy they are getting the recognition they deserve now 🙂
It's the long lanky finger, fangies, and the most beautiful eyes for me. He is a siren. I am so sad to know I've missed so many years of this beautiful soul.
There is something deeply spiritual about Sleep Token. It's not so much about the stage act, the catch phrase, the masks, or the out of this world concerts they give. When going down this rabbit hole of deeply emotional, hauntingly beautiful and achingly over wrought lyrics, one can't help but get lost inside multiple musical layers, the ambient abstracts of vocal echoing, and gorgeous vocals. The storyline is obvious, a toxic relationship paining Vessel. And anyone who has gone down this same road (with someone who does not love them back) and you really listen to the discography, you can expect an inner healing. a reshaping of your soul, if you allow it. I'm serious. You will belong to the night after you complete the ST discography, but in the best way possible.
I couldn't have worded that any better. Sleep Token is truly soul touching to me, and I find myself tangled up in the musical layers and his beautiful raw voice. I have never been so in love with music before, ST is unique and healing.
I cannot stop listen to them. It is so spiritual. Sometimes it is like that they are telling the history of my life and my relationships. It is so amazing and so strange.
That's exactly what happened to me...I was in love with someone who didn't want a relationship, and nothing could happen because he was on a finding "god" mission. 🙄 impossible.
It’s what I love about post rock music. The instrumentals and feel of the song brings you a story of emotion and they don’t even have singers in that genre. So his singing makes it even better.
@@josehopkins1265 vessel, iii, iv and ii are all British, ii has done a recorded interview you can hear his British accent, iii shouts into the crowd and he's clearly British and iv has shouted a few times too lol
How are they even a real band? I've never heard modern metal so compositionally and melodically perfect. Every song is a story from start to finish - an emotional trip in the greatest sense. The blend of expressive, R&B-esque vocals with modern metal/djent guitar work, and at times throwback punk-esque drumming is the breath of fresh air the metal scene needed. THIS is unique, THIS is new. I've only just started listening to Sleep Token so I'm working my way backward in their discography and I simply cannot find a song I dislike. They've seriously cracked the code.
This fucking band drives me insane....these guys are so incredible in every way. I feel so many different things listening to them...good and bad...an AWAKENING for me...in my life at 55....how many bands out there can do that??? I'm sure, without a doubt. I'm surely not the only one. This is WAY beyond just "rock" music
Same here, I'm 52, been a metal head forever, played in a tech death metal band from the age of 25-35, but these guys just hit different. Accidentally stumbled upon them and can't get enough of them now.
I’m 38, and I’m having the same feelings. My only regret is that I wish I discovered them sooner. And my music taste is very eclectic. I’m not a musician by any means; just a former music blog writer with a bit of singing training.
I'm 56 and this band just woke me up to music again. I've always loved music; and ST has just breathed life back into my soul. They have a gift in that EVERY song is relatable to some chapter of my life.
I’m 60 years old I’ve heard a lot of music over the years. This band for me ranks up there with Pink Floyd tool Deftones and it’s the only man that has moved me since tools last album I love the versatility of this band
And now people wonder why they blew up like they did. This is why, this is their core, their soul, their birth, their first steps towards the summit. And this is not even their first EP. "You are more, than warm belief, Melting skywards, More than silence broken, I’m, whole again, For just a moment, Until the morning comes, And I wake, saying your name" ARE YOU FKN KIDDING ME. They were on top from the very beginning.
For sure can take you through every fucking feeling and emotion ever felt by human and gods and everything in between. Every thing the good the bad the ugly the beautiful the purely divine to true evil.
I consider myself very fortunate to exist at the same time as Sleep Token but also feeling robbed of having not discovered them sooner. I’m a newer 6 month in + a forever fan now 🖤
Holy shit, you can actually see a lot of Vessel's face in this video!! Seeing the shots of his mouth, his nose, his eyes, etc. gave me a clearer picture of him as a person, and it made me burst into tears. The visuals of Vessel covering his face during the breakdown around 5:18 gave me chills all over. This song tells such a beautiful but haunting story. This band is so special to me, I wish I had known about them earlier in life.
I CAN'T stop listening to this band! Every day I wake up and listen and when I'm not gone doing things it's the same. I've NEVER heard such perfect music! Pitch tone rhythm timing and vocals. I swear these guys had to have studied Music in college somewhere. I May have just found them but I am addicted! Sleep must be One helluva diety! WORSHIP
The pain in their songs is so beautiful in a twisted way. I just can't believe I had to discover them so late thru an article....and that they are not so much more "out there"....people are so much missing out....spread the word everyone....if you love this band as I do....make them known
I dodged it on my recommended for about 2 weeks. Around November of last year I started down the rabbit hole and have yet to listen to a song from another band. Except maybe Blacklit Canopy. They get in there from time to time. ❤
@@EmiliaJay I was actually going off seeing videos of them performing live. Just looks a little different to me but of course I could be wrong. Not that any of it matters. Just a random observation.
Have you ever been attracted musically and artistically to mouth movement because I have, the way vessel pronounces words and the little inflections….. god damn
to borrow The Charasmatic Voice's description, he's so deliberate about about it. The enunciation and where the syllables go are so perfectly placed - I feel like rhythm and phrasing are at the core of their music.
Sleep Token is magic, mystery and immense talent. They are from another planet, every song is so intricate, complex, unique and hypnotizing. It's addictive af.
Recently just found the band. They are one of a kind. I havent had a band in awhile make me feel things. Last one was Linkin Park. But this one. This band makes me feel alive and broken at the same time.
I remember hearing this song 4 years ago thinking this band is going to be huge! So happy to see they’re finally getting the global recognition they deserve!
I frequently look back to 2017 when I first heard this song and I remember being sucked in straight away. I thought I was late finding them in 2017, but I see new people arriving here all the time and I honestly envy every one of you for being able to hear this song for the first time! If I could go back to that moment!
I've been deep into this band the past 3 days, and I'm just hearing this song for this first time while reading your comment. This song brings up so many emotions, as do all their songs. I know I'm late, but im so glad that I found them. They've literally changed me
I have similar with Kate Bush, who I've been a fan of since she released "Wuthering Heights" in 1978. However, beautiful though her music is, it doesn't give me the same shivers that Sleep Token's music does. Both Kate and Sleep Token/Vessel are total music geniuses in their own rights but oh my lord! Vessel's voice has such an immense amount of emotion in it that I feel broken and remade each time I hear another of their tracks. WORSHIP.❣💔❣
This was my first impression of Sleep Token a couple years ago. When I first saw this video and heard his voice I couldn’t quite appreciate its authenticity back then like I do now because I was so used to the cut and dry nature of most modern metal nowadays. Ever since then I’ve grown to love and appreciate everything this band has done and I now consider this one of my favorite songs and videos, not just from this band but from all the music I’ve discovered over the years. WORSHIP.
I feel the same way except the first time I heard it I fell in love with vessel and now sleep token is almost all I listen to and I tell everyone I know about them and try to get them into them but not everyone gets it I guess.
@@shaunpocalypse not entirely, but metal is definitely part of their signature sound and they do seem to be overall associated with the scene in general.
@@GrizzyGoat Yeah, I know this. You just phrased it in such a way that made it sound like they're a metal band, which they're pretty damn far from tbh. They're more like art rock mixed with other genres and a hint of metal in how the rhythm guitar is written.
dont know if sleep token will read this. bengali here, calcutta (now kolkata ) is the name of the city i was born in and now love. this feels amazing to hear . thank you sleep token. i will keep it short cause no amount of words can anyway express the emotions just the name then the sound invokes.
These earlier EPs are... wow... just as amazing as the new stuff that pulled me in, but so much more... IDK... Raw? Either way, One was awesome... and now the first song off of Two is just cementing my appreciation of both their skill in playing and in their songwriting abilities. \m/
I think it's because Vessel didn't have peanut butter stuck on the roof of his mouth on his previous works. Not saying his new stuff is worse or better because damn, Sleep Token was the only band that made me create a separate playlist solely just for their songs
2:09 "till the morning comes" this is the most beautiful transition, the vocals, everything about it. It feels so fucking enlightening like I could just start floating, the way it all just flows together so nicely. This moment every time I hear it, is just pure happiness.
I also found them through metal hammer. In the live show reviews (which are genius btw, they tell you what the band sounds like as well as reviewing the performance .) was reading a festival show, and I saw a picture of the singer throwing up a middle finger, reading an unidentifiable book, but it had the same ascetics as religious documents. Then the caption underneath stated Sleep Token: Anonymous awesomeness. I read the paragraph about the show. I remember the words through a hazy shroud, wierd, beautiful, interesting. Looked them the fuck up immediately and MIND FUCKING BLOWN!
I don't know how to describe this band. Like I feel more alive when I listen to them and they make me feel better in some way.this band is my comfort. Absolutely incredible
Obvi a fan of ST, but man round of applause for the peeps behind the camera. Loved the angles of the instruments. The cuts, transitions, all so dope. I also always imagine the conversation that precedes getting the shot - “ok I’m gonna get real close up now just mush this charcoal thing in your mouth real good” hahahha
This beyond excellent and incredibly dynamic. It's like Sigur Ros, Everything Everything, Massive Attack and ISIS all came together and birthed this incredible musical creature.
Im blessed, that I live at the same time as Sleep Token. Im so very greatful to be able to experience this spiritual journey. They are healing me in a way nobody was ever able to. Vessel's voice brings me to tears whenever I hear it. Its angelic and the variety of emotions is simply beautiful. 🙏🏼
Lyrics I am caught, tangled in Wrapped and quartered tripping up and over Time lived again for just a moment Missing pieces find me I sweat and I ache for Your eyes and the way you breathe And I wake, saying your name And I wake, saying your name You are more than warm belief Melting skywards more than silence broken I'm whole again for just a moment 'Til the morning comes And I wake, saying your name And I wake, saying your name Oh, she said you'd better believe it I said you don't know Oh, you said you'd better believe it I said you don't even know Time lived again for just a moment Missing pieces find me And I'm whole again for just a moment Missing pieces find me Time lived again for just a moment Missing pieces find me And I'm whole again, whole again, whole again
This is slowly becoming my absolute favourite song from Sleep Token. Everything from the instrumentation to Vessel’s voice and lyrics, this is the peak of musical talent. Worship 🙏🏻
This song really helps me deal with the mental load of insomnia, im forever awake. I cant even sleep with my partner amd it crushes me, until i see her again in the morning it makes me forget i havent slept in days. To me its like wanting to sleep without it being chemically induced. Perhaps Sleep is maybe a deity i have been seeking myself, loathing fot the darkness in a way without it sounding morbid
I got to know them only a half year ago (that's a shame 😔) but I swear they are one of the best things happened to me this year. I am so happy to be their fan now, their music is really a cure 🥺❤
Every time I listen to any of their songs. Something new appears and I've never come across something so beautiful. I can go on with the compliments but it would end up as an essay on why their music is everything.
Listen to their whole catalog of material...it will BLOW ur mind and blow you away...I think I'm done for tonight. Been doing this all night...I'm beat...spread the word please...
I discovered this band at the same time I started to play Destiny 2 again (eyes up guardians) and now all I think of when listening to them is that Sleep token is a folk group started by a cabal of warlocks. Gods I love them.
I've been listening to Sleep Token for about a year now, and for some reason never really gave this one a chance. This is now by far one of my top 3, if not top, Sleep Token song. This is truly a beautiful piece of art, is so powerful, and captures my heart and soul. I love Sleep Token so much. Worship
Not consistent in new music releases, the whole imagery and back story of “Vessel” isn’t very intriguing to the masses, the mystery thing gets old even though all us fans already knows who it is.
This is so raw, it has me sooo emotional and I can’t really describe the emotions running through my body but I love it. Genre is SLEEP Token they are a genre
I'm one month newbie here 😅 AND I AM SO MAD that I didn't discover them until now! BUT I believe that there is a reason why their unique and heavenly music reached to me at this moment ❤ WORSHIP from now on...and forever
I close my eyes listening to this. I cant even tell you where im at right now. I just traveled 8000 miles and 26 years and the song isnt even halfway through.
I love sleep token’s music, so much not just one song I mean all of it. I love that vessel sings so emotional and he or even they all have been through some really bad heartbreak here. It’s very relatable and I love that about this band.I love that all the instruments play so beautifully together with his voice and everything, just everything about this band is amazing. And I discovered them because of a friend in the beginning of the year of 2022. Also, some one of their songs when he says “are you in pain like I am?” Sadly i am but learning to grow slowly. I’ve been through some really bad heart break as well and still learning to grow over the years from it and it’s funny because it made me want to start writing as well along with other things, I’ve been through in life. And this is before sleep token but once I found sleep token, I couldn’t express music any better than what they did. I could express something but they are just so damn relatable. Can’t even put it in to more words atm. I just can’t relate to every song they wrote !
I been playing this song n the rest of thier songs for a week now n I can say this is a very unique singer. The slow pace of there music reminds me of Tool but I can't compare. They're like a romantic rock/electro which I love about them. Very different HORNS UP! \m/
I suffer PTSD and the music of Sleep Token, although I tried, only makes me feel bad, it takes me to a place I don't want to remember. I wish I could understand what you feel when you say is beautiful and perfect. 😔
I get it. And I don’t want to try to convince you to force yourself to be in a bad place to listen to them, but this is my take: At first I couldn’t decide if they make my pain worse or better, but I put it down to their music helping me process everything. It brings it up, yes, but it also helps me feel it in a safe way, and slowly - EVER so slowly - it gets less. Vessel’s lyrics have this really unique way of exploring the depths of the things people don’t talk about.
My only regret in life was not discovering them when they started
I discovered them prior to them to release their first album, and discovering back this treats from their early EPs where this track feature was awesome. I guess you had more treats to discover. The only downside i see is the opportunities to see them live in small venues. Now it's impossible.
Same
That can't be your ONLY regret (; but I get it. Lol
Definately mine too. I found them when they released The Summoning. Way too late but I've loved finding all the back catalogue. It's been a journey ❤
You say that, however I went to see them in Manchester in the early days. Tiny gig, they were supporting at the academy. I absolutely loved them and had to stand in a crowd of people talking over them because they weren't appreciated as they should have been. It was so frustrating!
Although I'm happy they are getting the recognition they deserve now 🙂
I don’t care what genre people say they are or aren’t. It’s their own sound. It’s sleep token. It’s tokencore.
tokencore fjsnjdnsjr you're absolutely right. literally a new genre
@@ariumet I’m surprised no one has said this.
YES! That's perfect!!!!

No idea why have to be "core" anything 🤷
It's the long lanky finger, fangies, and the most beautiful eyes for me. He is a siren. I am so sad to know I've missed so many years of this beautiful soul.
Perfectly said … whole heartedly agree
I love him
Same but we are here now and that's what really matters 🥰
There is something deeply spiritual about Sleep Token. It's not so much about the stage act, the catch phrase, the masks, or the out of this world concerts they give.

Agree 100%. Worked my way backwards recently. Made a playlist with every Sleep Token song available possible.
because they are anonymous.......no joke though, they're a part of the hacker organization Anonymous.
I first heard The Offering and I was hooked. His voice is so beautiful and pure. The drummer is so damn good too. I come back to them all the time.
The drum in every song is just ridiculously good.
Same man. Every track from every album talks to you and most have the nasty at the end to wrap up the emotional journeys. Ear candy with sprinkles
This fucking band drives me insane....these guys are so incredible in every way.

Absolutely, without a doubt, irrefutable....one of the best lyricists ever
For sure can take you through every fucking feeling and emotion ever felt by human and gods and everything in between. Every thing the good the bad the ugly the beautiful the purely divine to true evil.

this is one of the sickest fucking bands I ever listen to since Arcane Roots. Its like R&B, indie alt rock mixed with Djent. This is amazing.

His voice with his lyrics just automatically makes me cry.....I know I'm late..... But.... Wow did this have an effect on me 😔🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏
This was my first impression of Sleep Token a couple years ago. When I first saw this video and heard his voice I couldn’t quite appreciate its authenticity back then like I do now because I was so used to the cut and dry nature of most modern metal nowadays. Ever since then I’ve grown to love and appreciate everything this band has done and I now consider this one of my favorite songs and videos, not just from this band but from all the music I’ve discovered over the years. WORSHIP.
I feel the same way except the first time I heard it I fell in love with vessel and now sleep token is almost all I listen to and I tell everyone I know about them and try to get them into them but not everyone gets it I guess.
Same here actually. This is such a good track! Worship!
"most modern metal nowadays" bro Sleep Token are metal now?
@@shaunpocalypse not entirely, but metal is definitely part of their signature sound and they do seem to be overall associated with the scene in general.
@@GrizzyGoat Yeah, I know this. You just phrased it in such a way that made it sound like they're a metal band, which they're pretty damn far from tbh. They're more like art rock mixed with other genres and a hint of metal in how the rhythm guitar is written.
dont know if sleep token will read this.
bengali here, calcutta (now kolkata ) is the name of the city i was born in and now love. this feels amazing to hear . thank you sleep token. i will keep it short cause no amount of words can anyway express the emotions just the name then the sound invokes.
The first Sleep Token song I ever listened to was this one, before they had even played a single live show. Crazy to see how far they have come!
The way I got so hook when I saw the parts of possibly Vessel’s face 😭
Listening to this song from Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). I love Sleep Token.
These earlier EPs are... wow... just as amazing as the new stuff that pulled me in, but so much more... IDK... Raw? Either way, One was awesome... and now the first song off of Two is just cementing my appreciation of both their skill in playing and in their songwriting abilities. \m/
I think it's because Vessel didn't have peanut butter stuck on the roof of his mouth on his previous works. Not saying his new stuff is worse or better because damn, Sleep Token was the only band that made me create a separate playlist solely just for their songs
2:09 "till the morning comes" this is the most beautiful transition, the vocals, everything about it. It feels so fucking enlightening like I could just start floating, the way it all just flows together so nicely. This moment every time I hear it, is just pure happiness.
Thanks Metal Hammer. This is One of the best songs i've ever heard.
glad you found some new music through the CD!
I also found them through metal hammer. In the live show reviews (which are genius btw, they tell you what the band sounds like as well as reviewing the performance .) was reading a festival show, and I saw a picture of the singer throwing up a middle finger, reading an unidentifiable book, but it had the same ascetics as religious documents. Then the caption underneath stated Sleep Token: Anonymous awesomeness. I read the paragraph about the show. I remember the words through a hazy shroud, wierd, beautiful, interesting. Looked them the fuck up immediately and MIND FUCKING BLOWN!
My favorite Sleep Token song ever
I don't know how to describe this band. Like I feel more alive when I listen to them and they make me feel better in some way.this band is my comfort. Absolutely incredible
Desperately, hauntingly inspiring.
Definitely less calories than a big cream cake! 😁
Saw them in LA last November as a 4 piece and they destroyed every band on that ticket. Worship.
So much heartbreak in so much of their music....this lyricist is absolutely unbelievable
The best song building in the entire music industry in my opinion. I have no words for how incredible this band is.
Obvi a fan of ST, but man round of applause for the peeps behind the camera. Loved the angles of the instruments. The cuts, transitions, all so dope. I also always imagine the conversation that precedes getting the shot - “ok I’m gonna get real close up now just mush this charcoal thing in your mouth real good” hahahha
to quote owen wilson "WOW"
I love that 76 people agreed with you enough to thumb this comment up, but you had no replies, because really, what else is there to say?
Can you explain this, please?
No I can't
@@David.G. get rekt boi
“Woah”
- Keanu
It's weird how teeth can be so beautiful yet so menacing all at once.
Absolutely. I think this EVERY TIME I watch
Pretty white jaws 🤍
This beyond excellent and incredibly dynamic. It's like Sigur Ros, Everything Everything, Massive Attack and ISIS all came together and birthed this incredible musical creature.
David Davenport definitely get the sigur Ros vibes here
Dude, you my nigga now! Who the fuck else remembers Isis? I suppose it's a good thing they stopped releasing music before......well you know.
@@themoderndayamericanjohnle5999 can u send me isis music .....
I wish you didn't allcaps Isis
Yeah man, ISIS was the fucking bomb y'know? Like it was just so good you'd just wanna jump off a roof or something.
Im blessed, that I live at the same time as Sleep Token. Im so very greatful to be able to experience this spiritual journey. They are healing me in a way nobody was ever able to.
Vessel's voice brings me to tears whenever I hear it. Its angelic and the variety of emotions is simply beautiful.
🙏🏼
Lyrics
I am caught, tangled in
Wrapped and quartered tripping up and over
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
I sweat and I ache for
Your eyes and the way you breathe
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
You are more than warm belief
Melting skywards more than silence broken
I'm whole again for just a moment
'Til the morning comes
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
Oh, she said you'd better believe it
I said you don't know
Oh, you said you'd better believe it
I said you don't even know
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
And I'm whole again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
And I'm whole again, whole again, whole again
Awesome to see how far they’ve come in such a small amount of time
This is slowly becoming my absolute favourite song from Sleep Token. Everything from the instrumentation to Vessel’s voice and lyrics, this is the peak of musical talent. Worship 🙏🏻
This song really helps me deal with the mental load of insomnia, im forever awake. I cant even sleep with my partner amd it crushes me, until i see her again in the morning it makes me forget i havent slept in days. To me its like wanting to sleep without it being chemically induced. Perhaps Sleep is maybe a deity i have been seeking myself, loathing fot the darkness in a way without it sounding morbid
I got to know them only a half year ago (that's a shame 😔) but I swear they are one of the best things happened to me this year. I am so happy to be their fan now, their music is really a cure 🥺❤
Every time I listen to any of their songs. Something new appears and I've never come across something so beautiful. I can go on with the compliments but it would end up as an essay on why their music is everything.
Calcutta Represent! Anyone else here from the city or am I alone?
Nah! You're not alone.
Fellow Calcutta person here!
Nope! You are not alone brother.
I do have a curiosity, does anyone know why this song is named as calcutta?
me too! so happy one of my fav bands has a song named after my city lol
Three days grace carried me in my childhood so I could find this band in my adult hood.
i absolutely love their early stuff. so beautiful… i love them
Listen to their whole catalog of material...it will BLOW ur mind and blow you away...I think I'm done for tonight. Been doing this all night...I'm beat...spread the word please...
Wasn't initially a huge fan of them, because I was listening to heavy, death metal... But they came up and I decided to check them out. No regrets.
I cry everytime i listen to this song, and i listen to it every day on repeat.
Me too ❤️💖
This song is akin to wanting someone so bad that it hurts... i feel that.
Just heard of this band from seeing them live and my god they are so good live!
Damn right they are
Take our hand, Protect his message. Worship.
I've been listening to this song for a short time and I'm just wondering why I didn't discover this band a few years ago, they're really great.
The mouth shots give beast boy vibes. 💚 I love this band
Love this early stuff.. it has his previous project vibe with sleep token we know these days 🖤
I discovered this band at the same time I started to play Destiny 2 again (eyes up guardians) and now all I think of when listening to them is that Sleep token is a folk group started by a cabal of warlocks. Gods I love them.
I've been listening to Sleep Token for about a year now, and for some reason never really gave this one a chance.
This is now by far one of my top 3, if not top, Sleep Token song. This is truly a beautiful piece of art, is so powerful, and captures my heart and soul. I love Sleep Token so much.
Worship
They really are their own type of genre..amazing
This band is so precious ❤
Music continues to remind me how much it’s saved my life.
How are these guys not much bigger??
No shit. I was introduced to them yesterday and haven't stopped listening. I can't believe most of their videos have under 100k views.
Seriously. I show them to everyone I know or meet who has any interest in this kind of music.
Not consistent in new music releases, the whole imagery and back story of “Vessel” isn’t very intriguing to the masses, the mystery thing gets old even though all us fans already knows who it is.
@@t4rmafia892 so who is he ?
@@levig-man4103 which one? I know who all of them are except the bassist. Still undecided on him.
This song is just gorgeous and his voice is so beautiful omg. This video as well, I'm mesmerised by it, I cant get enough
Whoa. WhoaWhoaWhoa. I am speechless. This is beautiful.
This is so raw, it has me sooo emotional and I can’t really describe the emotions running through my body but I love it. Genre is SLEEP Token they are a genre
Thank you for the music you make, it calms my troubled soul
Yup ❤
This music here is a new sub-genre to metal. Love it.
What a masterpiece. I've had this on repeat ever since I heard it. PLEASE come to the US at your earliest convenience!
I'm one month newbie here 😅 AND I AM SO MAD that I didn't discover them until now! BUT I believe that there is a reason why their unique and heavenly music reached to me at this moment ❤ WORSHIP from now on...and forever
This song is so hauntingly beautiful and addictive
I close my eyes listening to this. I cant even tell you where im at right now. I just traveled 8000 miles and 26 years and the song isnt even halfway through.
I love sleep token’s music, so much not just one song I mean all of it. I love that vessel sings so emotional and he or even they all have been through some really bad heartbreak here. It’s very relatable and I love that about this band.I love that all the instruments play so beautifully together with his voice and everything, just everything about this band is amazing. And I discovered them because of a friend in the beginning of the year of 2022. Also, some one of their songs when he says “are you in pain like I am?” Sadly i am but learning to grow slowly. I’ve been through some really bad heart break as well and still learning to grow over the years from it and it’s funny because it made me want to start writing as well along with other things, I’ve been through in life. And this is before sleep token but once I found sleep token, I couldn’t express music any better than what they did. I could express something but they are just so damn relatable. Can’t even put it in to more words atm. I just can’t relate to every song they wrote !
how can someone be so beautiful and all we ever see is pieces?! I never knew feral till this video and this man
I been playing this song n the rest of thier songs for a week now n I can say this is a very unique singer. The slow pace of there music reminds me of Tool but I can't compare. They're like a romantic rock/electro which I love about them. Very different
HORNS UP! \m/
"Their"
This artwork has the ability to remove my anxiety. My self doubt and perception of who I imagine others perceive me.
one of my absolute favourite songs of all.
I suffer PTSD and the music of Sleep Token, although I tried, only makes me feel bad, it takes me to a place I don't want to remember. I wish I could understand what you feel when you say is beautiful and perfect. 😔
I get what you mean. Though not Sleep Token songs, I've felt the same way as you by other artists' work or music, which were loved by everyone else.
I get it. And I don’t want to try to convince you to force yourself to be in a bad place to listen to them, but this is my take:
At first I couldn’t decide if they make my pain worse or better, but I put it down to their music helping me process everything. It brings it up, yes, but it also helps me feel it in a safe way, and slowly - EVER so slowly - it gets less. Vessel’s lyrics have this really unique way of exploring the depths of the things people don’t talk about.
@@BeeMcDee thank you :)
literally my favorite band
