This band is amazing and I’m glad you are digging them… please keep in mind though, these “heavy” songs are more of an exception than the rule with Sleep Token, just be prepared to be open to a wide range of genre bending performances… that are all amazing.
Deftones are definitely a huge influence on them. You can pick up pieces of Deftones in so many of their tracks, from vocals to ambiance to snare ghost notes straight outta Abe Cunningham’s arsenal. Just to manage expectations, it’s important to note that Vore and The Summoning are the heaviest we longtime fans have heard from them - but almost all their songs will get heavy, no matter how they start. You wouldn’t know it from Vore or The Summoning because those start off like a shot, but Sleep Token are masters of the slow build that lures you in just to crush you out of nowhere with chugs and sick breakdowns. Anyone with an affinity for Deftones should definitely fall right into ST’s catalog with no problem. Some next listen possibilities to consider: Alkaline, Hypnosis, The Offering, and Gods (which was considered their heaviest track until Vore and The Summoning dropped). Worship.
well said. speaking to the eventual heavy parts of their songs, Higher has probably has one of their filthiest breakdowns in my opinion. Loving all the tracks ST has dropped so far and this could easily become my album of the year for 2023
That intro definitely hit me with “Be Quiet and Drive” vibes but the rest of the song is so uniquely Sleep Token. I’m glad this band has popped up on my recommended. I can tell their music is right up my alley
So many bangers! This band is the most worthy of a deep dive than any I've ever come across. Alkaline, The love you want, The Offering, Granite, Blood sport, Jaws... Too many to name. Holy shit what a band!
They do have huge Deftones influences, which is great as they're one of my fave bands of all time. I remember seeing the drummer doing a playthrough of When Girls Telephone Boys on his UA-cam channel a while ago, sadly the channel is gone now :(
sleep token are metalcore. Metalcore is probably the most popular genre of metal right now, most of the big bands are metalcore. Its essentially a genre that blends very heavy elements with pop or rap like elements. Check out Elysium by Invent Animate
They transcend genre, but if anything I'd put them in progressive/alt metal with metalcore elements. Also the "core" doesn't come from pop or rap, but the actual breakdowns, Hence "deathcore" is essentially deathmetal with breakdowns..not that genre matters at the end of the day. Worship.
I don't know why this took me back to the sound of perseverance of Death and is definitely the opening of their next release single and album song "Take me back to eden". Drums, vocals, guitar and bass works are AMAZING.
This song is louuuuud, melodic, atmospheric, fucking orgasmic, you feel that the band has reached a high level of maturity . I'm a big fan of Deftones but I still can't hear the resemblance but it m y be more of an unconscious process than I think and that what makes me love this band, who knows, great video as always, love your energy guys 🤘✌️
I don't know why people hate them so much you cannot deny their musical talent and art im going to be here forever sleep token love you guys been here since the sundowning record
Please react to meshuggah - new millenium cyanide christ official music video and meshuggah - corridor of chameleons🙏🏼my favourite tracks by them from their earlier work. Keep up the amazing content!
Sleep Tokens new album is going to be released in May. So far they’ve released 5 tracks from it. The other 3 tracks are: Granite, Aqua Regia & Chokehold. Every song sounds different with Sleep Token. Check out those 3 to get caught up, and then start backtracking cause their whole catalog is amazing!
This is no genre. They literally are the sound I hear in my head. That I've heard since I was a kid. Now I'm 30 and they beat me to it lol. My band slyght we are nowhere as good as these cats though. Omg I need to see them live
Great band. If you haven’t already, you should do a review of a couple of ISIS songs - ‘carry’ and ‘backlit.’ ISIS, sadly, are no longer an entity but they have a project (minus the lead vocalist) called PALMS with none other than Chino Moreno from Deftones on vocals
Don't get me wrong, but ST are not any core. You can certainly tell who the noobs are in the comments from the seasoned fans. If you want to know who ST are in music terms, listen to Aqua Regia next, then the love you want. Every track is a surprise but also🔥🔥🔥
This new stuff is cool, but you guys will most likely love a lot of their album "sundowning" the most I feel, all their stuff is good but that album shines. New stuff is MORE of it though haha
Mooree More!! Sleep Token absolutely killing it. The Offering has to be next, the poll was so close! 😊 Also come back to Periphery with Atropos!! The video and music will actually blow your minds 🤘😆

guys, your chemistry is off the charts
I got big Deftones vibes from this one too, as much from the high pitched screams as the more chill sections
Reminded me of Deafheaven, but I thought that too.
I can hear Rosemary when I first heard this song
That intro definitely hit me with “Be Quiet and Drive” vibes but the rest of the song is so uniquely Sleep Token. I’m glad this band has popped up on my recommended. I can tell their music is right up my alley

I'm so down the rabbit hole with this band. Amazing
The drummer in this great band is unreal
Lucky to have seen them live. Vessels voice is amazing live, and the rest of the band is soooo tight. Don’t get me started on II’s drumming
"What genre is this band?"
Sleep token: Yes.
You guys absolutely NEED to react to more Sleep Token. Your reactions are the best.
I’d recommend:
- Jaws
- Higher
- High Water
I second higher.
I second jaws
time for a deep dive into their catalog
I love watching you two, I can see your love of music, just awesome!
Gotta do Alkaline, The Offering or Higher next.
Guys get on their earlier stuff. The Offering I’m sure you’d love
Periphery - Atropos
Yess! I’m addicted to this song and video! Dylan will be jaw dropped the whole time I feel 😂😂
Just found them as well ....alkaline. And chock hold.... are what brought me to appreciate them 🧐💪👏👏
3:15 Thats Worship right there 🤘🌑
They do have huge Deftones influences, which is great as they're one of my fave bands of all time. I remember seeing the drummer doing a playthrough of When Girls Telephone Boys on his UA-cam channel a while ago, sadly the channel is gone now :(
When the bough breaks. From the debut EP. This one takes to point of tears as it builds only to punch you right in the fucking face.

Not if you go to the metalcore reddit lol. They won't even let you post most ST stuff.
I don't know why this took me back to the sound of perseverance of Death and is definitely the opening of their next release single and album song "Take me back to eden". Drums, vocals, guitar and bass works are AMAZING.
Subd 🤘👊...nice reaction guys. Been listening and attempting to play the bass for almost 20 yrs.....great damn new band! Cheers to you guys 🍻🤘👊😎
Thanks for the feedback and support Jake really appreciated it! 🍻

Tool, deftones, sleep token in my favorite compilation of music ❤
Bro, you guys gotta do the title track from the albume. "Take me back to Eden" you're welcome
I don't know why people hate them so much you cannot deny their musical talent and art im going to be here forever sleep token love you guys been here since the sundowning record
Not a single time have I seen someone say they don't like ST. Could just be echo chambering myself, but Vessel's voice is worth it.
And May 19th 2023, the rest of this new album will be released! 🖤
I told you it was heavy. Loved it.
And yet somehow I fully expected to find this here today 😮
Surprised nobody mentioned the converge influence in this song.
Amo sus reacciones jaja 🙌🏻 love Sleep token
Please react to meshuggah - new millenium cyanide christ official music video and meshuggah - corridor of chameleons🙏🏼my favourite tracks by them from their earlier work. Keep up the amazing content!
Corridor has one of the baddeet breakdowns ever!

Fun fact: the name "vore" is a fetish of being eaten alive
If you really dig Vore, give Gods a spin off their first album, easily their other heaviest song.
Their song Gods is literally a Deftones song. Some even argue they ripped Deftones off on that song, but hell I love both bands to death.
I love Deftones, but Gods is a tad bit different from Deftones. Yeah, it’s god the vibe and their tendencies, but calling it a copy is a big stretch.
This is no genre. They literally are the sound I hear in my head. That I've heard since I was a kid. Now I'm 30 and they beat me to it lol. My band slyght we are nowhere as good as these cats though. Omg I need to see them live
Goddamm I want a husband like him 🤘he really appreciates good music 🥹.

The genre is Thall
Intro sounds like be quiet and drive
"what is their genre?" They don't really have one... Similar to how Falling in Reverse, Rush, and some others don't really fit into a neat little box.
Ah, more of the same facial expressions
Gods or teremones! Very deftones like!
Mooree More!! Sleep Token absolutely killing it. The Offering has to be next, the poll was so close! 😊 Also come back to Periphery with Atropos!! The video and music will actually blow your minds 🤘😆
