To me, it's brillant how they manage to mix pop elements with djent and metal influences to create songs like this one. Love the songwriting and the originality of the structure. Can't wait for the new album. Worship !
To me it really felt like if the intro of Dark Signs had a baby with the heavier parts of Jaws with lyrical influences from Nazareth and Calcutta. W O R S H I P
what i love about Sleep Token is this blend of different genres and styles inna way that should not work but does worl even better, plus Vessel has such a unique Voice and energy in his voice. what makes Alkaline so great for me is the flow of chorus and i love how he seemijngly cuts off the words but actually finishes them in a quiet fashion
Might not understand how much I love his voice, and how much I loved sundowning, BUT this album might change my life🔥❤️💥2021 Some of the Best albums in the past decade probably!
Glad to see you react to this knowing you like Sleep Token! I was so happy with the song, the change in the structure is welcomed even though I absolutely adore Sundowning. Album is hopefully not going to disappoint 🔥
well, this cosmic, slow and huge vibe is fkin good. maybe, on 10th repeat i will be screaming from perfect tempo structure, but now it's only melodically is great
This is the first song I've ever heard from them and I am hooked. If this song is any indication of what's to come I'm so looking forward to it. First video I've seen of yours too! Subscribed after I saw you reviewed Jinjers new single too. looking forward to more videos
Lots of people know who most members of the band are at this point. Kinda ruins the mystery when you know, so I advise not ruining the magic for yourself
I only know (90%) for sure who Vessel is. Doesn't really ruin the music for me, though. I do like the fact that people have kept it mostly under wraps out of respect to the band for sure. They just can't make a bad song and I'm here for it as long as they want to be around.
Great reaction! It's funny how every genre which is not a subgenre of metal is titled as pop at least half the time by members of the metal community. Alkaline has no elements which are uniformly used in popular music. There is a trap hi-hat, there are dark synths. That's it. Genres are overrated anyways. xD
The best thing about Sleep Token is the actual process how they are building their fan-base. Don't get me wrong I really like some of their songs, but their fans really resembles a cult. They literally praising every little thing regarding the band. And it's probably not about the mystery, because you need like 10-15 minutes of googling to reveal the actual identity of the band members. But... If you about to share this info on reddit or wikipedia it will be removed in seconds. Why? Because everybody knows, but pretends like it's a secret. Yeah, this is a cult.
I wonder if this band has any relationship with Slipknot, I mean, because of the mask thing and because the name Sleep Token kinda sounds like the name Slipknot.
![[RAPPER REACTION] SLEEP TOKEN - ALKALINE](/img/n.gif)
"Oooh, let's talk about chemistry" OwOrship
Hardest drop they have ever done!! Worship
To me the chemistry was very reactive and explosive and it was on fire too
Sooooo sexy
Their drummer is an absolute BEAST, he has some crazy groovy chops
Heaps of variation with the styles he plays. Talented. Very fucken talented.

Ikr! Unlike anything else I've heard
September's gonna be a difficult month to choose favorites... New Spiritbox, new Sleep Token,... Fuuuck can't wait
Don broco as well
a crazy great year of metal
And new Jinjer
It’s gonna make us all depressed and I’m here for it
@@bajnokaron7268 im already depressed so i dont care

W O R S H I P
I've been playing this song on repeat since it dropped.
lets be honest if a real cult started around this group id join
I mean, yeah, why not!? At least they have amazing music with the Kool-aid
You know why 2020 and 2021 are such great years for Metal? Because they have so much time to create and use their creativity.
Literally watched this music video, refreshed UA-cam and here's your reaction. Absolutely beautiful timing.
That little fill at 4:17 the drummer did on the hi-hats was so fun
Are we really shocked sleep token came back with an absolute banger
The atmosphere of this track is so damn good. Fingers crossed this album is at least on equal footing with Sundowning.
what i love about Sleep Token is this blend of different genres and styles inna way that should not work but does worl even better, plus Vessel has such a unique Voice and energy in his voice.
what makes Alkaline so great for me is the flow of chorus and i love how he seemijngly cuts off the words but actually finishes them in a quiet fashion
one of the best chorus ive heard in a while. up there with secret garden in the ways of catchiness. had this on repeat for a couple days
A lot of great albums being dropped soon:
Jinjer- Wallflowers 8/27
Spiritbox- Eternal Blue 9/17
Sleep Token- 9/24
Might not understand how much I love his voice, and how much I loved sundowning, BUT this album might change my life🔥❤️💥2021 Some of the Best albums in the past decade probably!
i've never heard this song or band but based on the intro i think it might be good
edit: it's amazing and yea that drumming is not at all easy
The drumming is one of my favorite things about this band.
The Drummer is the mvp here imo
go check out higher put it on full blast and close your eyes, chill from start to finish
Drummer in Sleep Token is nuts, straight up
Its interesting having you recommending sundowning today, as i listened while cooking a few minutes ago
Worship 🙌🏻 sooooo excited! The single is great but I’m hoping the album blows my mind.
This song is so good. Hyped AF for the album.

I continue to try to learn all the songs on sundowning every time I play the drums, it's insane

Sleep Token = ATMOSPHERE
You really should finally react to Dead By April, they released second single yesterday. Really cool band.
Lol have they gotten any better over the years? They used to suck back in the 2010s
@@MrPatrickbuit I think they did. Try listening to them
It's pure fire. Fuck, I'm waiting for the album. Worship.
All I have to say is, Worship!
i want more like the offering how brutal this song sound
VOLA - Witness ….INSANE ALBUM!!!!!
Either way, I'm into it.
Worship!
The song got Katatonia vibes
Worship!!!!
Adobe Illustrator and Photosop icons
low key hope we get at least one more song like Gods on this album
Yeaahh dudeeee you are the best!!!!!!

New STP?
Worship
VOCAL COVER WHEN
HELL YEAH SLEEP TOKEN SZN
Call me Jamestown and slap me silly because sleep token is the only cult I agree with and may join myself 😂
i thought the vocalist was james arthur lmao

0:53 the singers identify is unfortunately pretty easy to find nowadays
Yeah once a Band reaches a certain level of fame, it becomes almost impossible to stay anonymous
All the guesses ive seen on the internet seem absolutely silly and sound or look nothing like him
@@coreyw5981 sadly it's been found out

I will worship sleep token forever
Is Russian your first language?
No
@@bogdanhxc Thanks for answering. I thought I was picking up a slight accent. I must have imagined it.
@UC-nlyraPOejjvl6QwIzwcoQ you aren't too far off tho, my first language is Ukrainian and I most definitely still have a tiny bit of accent lol
They are a good band, but liking them does not mean you have to follow their crazy beliefs. Do not worship.
What do they worship
Worship here is used completely metaphorically lol, it's just a way to describe the devotion the fans have for the band..
I wonder if this band has any relationship with Slipknot, I mean, because of the mask thing and because the name Sleep Token kinda sounds like the name Slipknot.
They follow the more culty and anonymity vibe of Ghost I would say moreso
