I think their whole deal is actually super smart on so many levels. Genius songwriting, like a more evolved Cobain level hooks, monstrous sounding low and heavy guitars, whilst smashing the doors in of other musical genres, and making it hit people in the feels like some kind of neo-gospel type religious experience, with a whole lore which echos of a modern gothic twist on the old Robert Johnson Crossroads story mythology. Like them or not, I say "bra-fvkin-oh!".
I am amazed that I band I had never heard about until their recent album has become my favorite band of all time. I can listen to their catalog on repeat and never get bored
Impressive editing! I can't fathom how much time went into this. I truly appreciate it. Eagerly anticipating more Sleep Token videos from you. Thank you ❤ Worship from Germany.
I still cannot stop listening to them after so many years. To be honest, knowing their identity doesn't do me any difference to their brilliant writing cause TBH I never even heard of the people behind the masks.
I tried three times listening to The Summoning and I always was like "okay that's cool but nothing special". Then after some break I give it one more chance and it worked out. They have a lot of elements I like. Beautiful and emotional vocals, a lot of prog stuff, breakdowns and insane screams sometimes. Not a fan of this R&B or rap parts, they are not bad but I would prefer some prog or heavy stuff instead. But eventually Vessel is one of the greatest songwriters in modern metal/rock, this guy recorded all but drums on their albums. That's impressive. But more impressive is fact that pop fans listen to band with guitars tuned down to Drop D#.
So, I definitely consider myself a fan of the band, simply because they make some great f'in music. I love the arrangements, the diversity, the vocals, the lyrics, the musicianship. However, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the whole way they present themselves, calling concerts rituals and what not. It annoys me a little, tbh. They stay anonymous because they say the focus should be on the music, but in my opinion they achieve the opposite. Any regular band made of regular, non-anonymous people is about the music. Thats what bands do. He's called vessel so that we can put ourselves in his point of view... Well that's what we do with any singer, isn't it? Chester Bennington, for example, had so many fans because his lyrics and vocals resonated with so many people, right? And I don't think his identity being known stood in the way of that. For me personally, the whole ordeal with the masks and the lore, if anything, makes it more difficult to identify myself with Vessel and Sleep Token's music. I want to pay respect to real people for the art they give me, enriching my life. But if that's the way they roll, I'm not gonna complain. I'm a Daft Punk fan as well, but for some reason I feel differently about them...
AS A DIE HARD FAN... OF, MUSIC.. MASKS.. AND MASKED MUSIC...IN GENERAL. I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THEIR POPULARITY. THEY ARE... LIKE GHOST... A MASKED BAND, FOR THE FEMALES. TAKE THAT, AS YOU WILL. BUT MY X EVEN ASKED ME TO TAKE HER TO SEE THEM. THAT IS A FIRST. I AM ALWAYS THE ONE, DRAGGING HER TO ONE GIG AFTER THE NEXT. BUT THESE BOYS.. SHE LOVES. AS WITH GHOST.
Im not rly a fan of this when i first looked at it. It looks neat but then i listened to it and i just dont feel anything it isnt brutal i feel more in folk or in black metal
SLIPKNOT SAID THE EXACT SAME THING. REMEMBER? WE WILL SEE IF THEIR..... VALUES, HOLD TRUE.. IN TIME. I do RESPECT them.. But I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALIZE... THEY ARE FOLLOWERS. NOT LEADERS. AND IN THIS CLIMATE. PEOPLE NEED SOMETHING...SPECIAL. TO ESCAPE THE REALITY OF....THE REAL.
I APPRECIATE your...enthusiasm for the...ANONYMITY.. BUT.. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE ORIGINAL AND FIRST.. TRUE PIONEERS OF ANONYMOUS MUSIC? ALL OF YOU..! PAY HEED TO THE RESIDENTS.
move al the husk like anonimity, masks, and all that "mistique" fleur and what would remain in the end - architects-type of band. all this hype is just a result of top class promotion and production work.
I seriously do not get the hype. He hasn't got a metal voice, he is an excellent and beautiful singer, but he sounds like sam smith or bastille. If they are inventing a new metal genre like nu metal did, then cool but count me out not my cup of tea at all and I am into all sorts of music. Not sure if it's because I am an elder millennial? Maybe.
I think that’s one of the aspects people love about them The instruments and vocals shouldn’t really fit, but they do. It’s totally fine not to like them. Everyone has different tastes. Especially in music. I personally absolutely love them dearly
Metal isn’t all vocals. I’d consider polyphia and animals as leaders metal. Sleep token normally ends songs in metal fashion. And they can do metal very well. Just listen to the songs vore, gods, and hypnosis. Those have the vibes you’re looking for. Obviously the summoning too but I think most people that talk about not liking them haven’t even TOUCHED the surface of the discography. It confuses me more that people actually can’t get into them. This music pierces the soul and brings out the primal vulnerabilities of love. Everyone I’ve gotten into sleep token came back to me after listening to everything and told me they didn’t realize how good they actually were
@artistrankings6794 while I'm super happy for their recent meteoric rise, they had a UK fanbase; it's kind of annoying that it's only considered a "large" fanbase when America is in it
@@MadailinBurnhopethey didn’t have 3 million monthly listeners until recently. Has nothing to do with only calling it large fan base when US gets on board. It’s calling it a large fanbase when it gets to a large fanbase. Stop being a gatekeeping hipster
*I don't know.....music is subjective......to me they're over-hyped. SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL's album "Kostolom" never left my playlist since its release 2 years ago. I don't jump on every hype-train...* 🎵🎸✨💿🔥😈🔥

Same! I feel the same for ST as I felt for MCR when I was 17 😂 its intense!

Love Sleep Token - very talented. I only checked them out when I heard they were headlining Download. I am 63 and old metal head.
Your documentaries on various artists sound neat! Keep up the good work! :)
One of my favorite bands since 2017, they truly have come a long way
Sleep Token is now at over 3 MILLION montly listeners on Spotify. Worship.
Sleep Token is not something you listen to, its something you feel.
WORSHIP
Right?? Seeing them live is practically a religious experience, it's a whole vibe❤
Worship!🙌🏼🖤
Great video editing skill here!
Great work! I love the editing! ❤
One of my biggest regrets was being on vacation when they came to my city. I HAVE to see this band live one day.
I still cannot stop listening to them after so many years. To be honest, knowing their identity doesn't do me any difference to their brilliant writing cause TBH I never even heard of the people behind the masks.
Bro that message made me love them even more. What a fantastic band.

I never gave them a listen before, but i think i want to, now. Interesting.
Prepare to be obsessed
Prepare to cry
Prepare for every other band you like to sound average in comparison
Prepare to have your soul directly and repeatedly dropkicked by Vessels lyrics
You won’t be disappointed
Killed this video. Super informational and sick all around
They’re my favorite band and the best live band I’ve ever seen.
"Will be around for a very long time."
....if they WANT to be.
Great video!
The Summoning will hit 100m this year, and that is an unreal achievement.
been a fan since 2016 and I’m so happy that they’re more popular now!! 🙏🙏
my favourite band since 2019
Well done Conal.
Tell Shan we miss her
Great vid mate. New sub tonight! Cheers to more well executed content.
Really good video keep them coming 🤘🤘
You can easyly break the myth and find who they are, it's not so secret but it break the mystic, like unmasking Vader in VI...
What song is that in the intro?
What a great video. 🙌🏼🖤
They did one interview with Drumeo
And then there is the band Stoneside ❤❤❤
Just wondered what happened to you with Babymetal...I saw your metal kingdom reaction, but its been awhile. Hope things are going well...
WORSHIP
Sleep token are an easy 100/10 for me truly unfiltered talent. Worship.
What is the song in the intro
I would like to know myself? If you happen to find out please let me know. Thank you ☺
Right 👍
Sounds like meshuggah other than the drums
The offering I think
Great intro!

AS A DIE HARD FAN...
OF,
MUSIC..
MASKS..
AND MASKED MUSIC...IN GENERAL.
I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THEIR POPULARITY.
THEY ARE...
LIKE GHOST...
A MASKED BAND,
FOR THE FEMALES.
TAKE THAT, AS YOU WILL.
BUT MY X EVEN ASKED ME TO TAKE HER TO SEE THEM.
THAT IS A FIRST.
I AM ALWAYS THE ONE,
DRAGGING HER TO ONE GIG AFTER THE NEXT.
BUT THESE BOYS..
SHE LOVES.
AS WITH GHOST.
they've been a band since 2016
parsnip
If it's roasted?
WASP STYLE
Your tweet makes sense now, look the state of this channel.
The jab at Bad omens fans and boundaries did not age well LOL
Get into this band latley, and they are just incredible.
And their 2 good songs?
Im not rly a fan of this when i first looked at it. It looks neat but then i listened to it and i just dont feel anything it isnt brutal i feel more in folk or in black metal
SLIPKNOT SAID THE EXACT SAME THING.
REMEMBER?
WE WILL SEE IF THEIR.....
VALUES,
HOLD TRUE..
IN TIME.
I do RESPECT them..
But I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALIZE...
THEY ARE FOLLOWERS.
NOT LEADERS.
AND IN THIS CLIMATE.
PEOPLE NEED SOMETHING...SPECIAL.
TO ESCAPE THE REALITY OF....THE REAL.
…”refusing to do any interviews”
Literally is an interview on Drumeo
That was the first one and it just happened last week.
You speek too faaaaast for me! Even with the subtiles I cannot understand 😭
I think this is the breakout band here maybe
I do not like this band for some reason and I've tried plenty. 😂 But good for them and I hope their fandom doesn't become toxic
I APPRECIATE your...enthusiasm for the...ANONYMITY..
BUT..
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE ORIGINAL AND FIRST..
TRUE PIONEERS OF ANONYMOUS MUSIC?
ALL OF YOU..!
PAY HEED TO THE RESIDENTS.
First 💎

Ain’t nothing mysterious about it if you’ve been following them since the beginning.

its trap imagine dragons for those who loathe imagine dragons and trap
Im your 666th like.
I don't care for this band
You talk too fast.
Industry plant
I tried listening to sleep token but I cringed so hard I think I imploded.
Interestingly mostly womem fanbase
Sleep token been for years, click bait video.
fr
not rly clickbait tho. its about the rise, not the existence. sleep token had a comparatively small fanbase before the summoning

Dude, i have a same sh.t with Lorna Shore - Pain remains.
Slaughter to prevail isn’t over hyped at all either. Have you heard of Metallica? That’s my favorite
They are overhyped cheesey garbage. its Emo metal and emo metal is f'ing terrible
your opinion is invalid...
