I love Sleep Token because I think he's introducing a lot of metalheads to this type of vocal that you'd usually only hear in something like Pop or R&B. It's beautiful and I love the genre-bending he does.
I agree. You hit the nail on the head. My wife is a big BIG Taylor swift fan. She does not like metal. But she actually appreciates Sleep Token and rocks out to their music. So that says something for a modern metal band
@@cameronwhite9286 I'd say Periphery is another band that does this. Lune, Satellites, Flatline, Stranger Things. All very melodic, and heavy when they need to be. Nothing like Tool or Sleep Token, but they're a wonderful melding of heavy extreme vocals and clean clean melodies all the same.
the coolest thing about this band is that technically vessel isn't even the one that is entirely responsible for the music from what I read vessel is influenced by a deity called sleep I believe all of the band members worship it but it only reveals itself to vessel I could be wrong about this because obviously I don't know the band personally but still that's pretty f#ck!ng cool especially because it seems like everything this band touches turns to gold
I actually don't agree with your last point; to me, it feels like I've walked in on something that was meant just for me. Not literally speaking, just for me as in for a very specific audience of people who have gone through certain things. It feels extremely personal and welcoming...
His voice has matured so beautifully since I first heard him years ago. I hope he has a long and satisfying journey along with all the Sleep Token members.
I absolutely love this rendition. It is just heartbreaking and full of desperation with the gorgeous piano and Vessel's haunting voice. Thank you for the wonderful reaction.
6:40 It IS imperfect. Because it was meant to be. It is an emotional song coming from a place of pure emotion, plus this was from their debut album, so I wouldn't put it past Vessel if he never had any true vocal training and he was just absolutely using his raw vocal chords and using his emotion to guide his voice instead of the usual techniques to protect them. It just makes it sound real and raw because it IS. And that's the beauty of this song, man.
Ive never heard someone discribe vessels voice the way i do. Its the emotion, it sounds so raw but it so technical! Im so happy i found your review. Sleep token is something so very special on the world of music.
Seen these guys live in Glasgow with Architects! Even better live! I wasn't a huge fan beforehand but after seeing them live I fell in love with Sleep Token and love every song! His voice is amazing, and brings tears to my eyes every time!
Seen these guys live a few times. First time I was just in awe. Literally just standing and staring and taking it all in. Fucking magical, they're special.
Great reaction. Please say you will do more Sleep Token! His voice and range is amazing and every song is different so you will hear so many different styles. I believe Vessels vocal range is B ♭2 to F#5 and he has a wonderful chest voice, head voice and scream. 🖤
@@leeclingenpeel8823I think it is Leo. I do voice over and am a vocalist. I usually have a keen ear to identify actors or singers when i hear their voices. If I'm wrong I will admit it but it's a great mystery. If you go and listen to Blacklit canopy I think you'll see why people think it's him. But it's also good music. :)
when i heard "night does not belong to god" for the first time, I was walking down the street and I literally had to stop walking and was like ... wtf?? who is this guy?? still my favorite song from ST to this day and maan, there are so many great tunes out
Check out the offering by these guys, also 'sugar' is maybe my favourite vocal performance of all time - this is just the start of a great journey with this band
As somebody who's seen them live several times.... I can confirm that they do indeed create a magical experience. The same can be said about Leprous Agent Fresco Vola Caligula's Horse. P. S. There's a pic of me, front row, looking up at them with the exact same face you make at some point : the one that says "DAYUM THEY'RE GOOD!"
I have loved these lads for a few years now. Absolutely great reaction :D I'd totally recommend Shelter, or jaws from them :) ! Thanks so much for this. I'm glad you liked it!
Hey Sam, awhile ago I was in your discord and recommended the studio version of this song in your #suggestions channel i think. I know you’re flooded with recommendations but i knew one day you’d get to Vessel and Sleep Token so this is just absolutely awesome for me to see finally.
Can you do some more Sleep Token!?!?🙏🙏 the album version is so intense!!! Hope you checked their stuff out a lil on your own time vessel is the best singer i have ever heard!! Worship
But this is part of a deluxe extension of their LP with three other songs in this style. When the party's over, I wanna dance with somebody and shelter which is an original. All done in what I'm pretty sure are all raw one takes with just piano and vocals
Do their song Take me back to Eden, his voice is ethereal and there is so much emotion and it is one journey of a song. It has become my favourite song of all time
okay a friend just shared this with me and I loved this reaction video. You have such an interesting take on this and I enjoyed learning a few technical things about singing I did not know!
@@SSTVocalCoach have you considered doing more reactions to ST? (with their newer releases?) Their sound is so interesting, it would be groovy to get your take on it. (apologies if this has been asked before)
If you had listened to the original, you'd hear an ending that I have to skip every time cuz I will BAWL MY EYES OUT I love Sleep Token. Saw them last night and I feel complete
Good that you choosed the Goosebombs UNPLUGGED Version of this Song to HEAR and FEEL the unbelivable Voice of VESSEL.....next their Hit Song CHOKEHOLD !!!
Couldn’t hear it here for some reason, but in the original recording you can actually hear him sobbing at the end. Just an insane outpouring of emotion…
Love the reaction and the vocal explanation This is one of my favorite bands right now I would suggest to check out more of them And also Tourniquet by TesseracT Big hug from Chile
Oh man so much love for Sleep Token! Wish you would check out the music video for Parallel, by Seven. Brad Tuttle has the most underrated vocals in the genre. Don't even get me started on the song Brimstone that features Kutter from Eldest 11. You have ALOT of music to catch up on Mr. hehe
You so need to check out dimash hes absolutely out of this world on range really amazing , he went on one of uk shows and nearly had Simon Cowell in tears 😢
check out some spiritbox circle with me live one take and jinjer judgement and punishment live one take! two great female rock singers that can do some unusual things !
@samscott-thorne:sessionsinge , I felt the same way, i am a metal guy been singing for over 30 years kinda a cross between Corey Taylor and Maynard Keenan, and I found these guys through Will Ramos from Lorna Shore doing their song Hypnosis and I said the same thing Sam, not much gets to me but these guys when i discovered them 3 weeks ago in one night I cried my eyes out to every one of their songs, I am in awe of Vessel, I ended up learning this one , the way we were , and Hypnosis,, I did Hypnosis with my pals band the other night out,, I am so blushing over this band
No person is ready for Sleep Token on first listen.
Worship.
Worship
In the album version and in some of the concert videos, you can hear him quietly sobbing as the song ends. It's haunting, but beautiful.
Everyone needs to give that man all the hugs. Seriously.
And it’s forced. It’s a show

I would also recommend Tom Englund's project Silent Skies. They have got some gorgeous songs. And also, Evergrey for that matter, heavy yet melodic.
the emotion he's able to convey through singing is insane, it almost feels like we walked in on a moment not meant for others

I've been waiting to see a vocal coach react to Vessel! He is genuinely a singer worth worshipping. Sleep Token are special.
Sleep Token were the find of lockdown for me.
I need to delve into more, his voice is amazing.
feel the exact same way
Same for me! Also, their other stuff is definitely gonna be a surprise after this one :D
Same, and I’ve seen COUNTLESS others with the same sentiment in the comments on their videos. Literally saved 2020 for me lol
Same here....have since bought Sundowning and downloaded One and Two!! Love them!
Ive never heard someone discribe vessels voice the way i do. Its the emotion, it sounds so raw but it so technical! Im so happy i found your review. Sleep token is something so very special on the world of music.
Also, one of the only vocalists ive found that sounds even better live than in studio.
First time hearing this artist, and I've never heard vocal grinding like that before. Love it!
My first time too. Corey Taylor of slipknot recommended had to give a listen.
Seen these guys live in Glasgow with Architects! Even better live! I wasn't a huge fan beforehand but after seeing them live I fell in love with Sleep Token and love every song! His voice is amazing, and brings tears to my eyes every time!
Seen these guys live a few times. First time I was just in awe. Literally just standing and staring and taking it all in. Fucking magical, they're special.
I'm pretty sure this was recorded in one take all the way through, it's a stripped back version of the original album version, with drums and guitars
Great reaction. Please say you will do more Sleep Token! His voice and range is amazing and every song is different so you will hear so many different styles. I believe Vessels vocal range is B ♭2 to F#5 and he has a wonderful chest voice, head voice and scream. 🖤
Whoever Vessel is, he should be up their with the greats. His vocals are par none. Same for the rest of the band. They're highly slept on.
They say it’s leo Faulkner

Leprous
Agent Fresco
Vola
Caligula's Horse.

This man is incredible. Everything he makes is so perfect.
Check out ‘Jaws’... But really, literally every one of their songs is great.
Thank you for covering this band, they don't get enough attention!
Oh they finally are now ❤️
It just doesn’t get any better, IMO. Vessel’s the best.
OMG!!! I didnt knew this guy...became a fan right away!
Why haven’t you done more Sleep Token songs!!!!?? Please do!
I'm so glad you reacted to this. More vocal coaches need to be introduced to Vessel.
The little piano line at the end of the song sends shivers down my spine
I have loved these lads for a few years now. Absolutely great reaction :D I'd totally recommend Shelter, or jaws from them :) ! Thanks so much for this. I'm glad you liked it!
If this band had come out in 1999 they would have gone platinum and been on MTV along side Korn reping metal and rock at the top of the charts.
Shew. vessels voice is transcendent. I am in awe. This song brings me to literal tears.
Great review, I’ve been curious about the technicals of Vessels voice and you break it down well, good stuff
Hey Sam, awhile ago I was in your discord and recommended the studio version of this song in your #suggestions channel i think. I know you’re flooded with recommendations but i knew one day you’d get to Vessel and Sleep Token so this is just absolutely awesome for me to see finally.
I didn't cry, you did.
The major over minor chords make this truly special
Can you do some more Sleep Token!?!?🙏🙏 the album version is so intense!!! Hope you checked their stuff out a lil on your own time vessel is the best singer i have ever heard!! Worship
Fabulous review from someone thats knows a talented vocalist when they hear it ❤
Been looking for someone to do a vocal analysis of his voice. Thank you 😊
Try listening to Take Aim by them, I think youd love it. Also check out Constance by Spiritbox, they have a beautiful singer
But this is part of a deluxe extension of their LP with three other songs in this style. When the party's over, I wanna dance with somebody and shelter which is an original. All done in what I'm pretty sure are all raw one takes with just piano and vocals
Finally someone mentions Take Aim. It is the most underrated ST song.
Do their song Take me back to Eden, his voice is ethereal and there is so much emotion and it is one journey of a song. It has become my favourite song of all time
Hes an incredible vocalist. Awesome band but his voice brings it all together

@@Chellanthe I have actually! I work with a student who loves ST so I’ve heard a few of his tracks now, but haven’t looked out any live videos yet 😊
Vessel is my favorite singer, my favorite band right now is sleep token ❤
If you had listened to the original, you'd hear an ending that I have to skip every time cuz I will BAWL MY EYES OUT
I love Sleep Token. Saw them last night and I feel complete
I second Take Aim! Amazing vocal and melody! Sleep Token is the best
2:25 wow that was actually extremely inciteful. Awesome
A very handsome man and a very handsome voice~ It was very nice watching your video & I feel like I've learned some stuff
The Offering is THE song
SAM!!! WTF!??? THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!
Incredible isn't he!?
@@SSTVocalCoach yes Sam! He and the band you got check out them live!
Coheed and Cambria "The Pavillion"
Give it a try.
I have no idea about anything singing or vocal related, but I felt like I could follow along with your explanations

Vessel is actually out here coaching the coaches.
Very enjoyable and informative video, great job I learned a lot.
No one else can sing like this except Dan from Bastille
Love me some Sleep Token

Oh man so much love for Sleep Token! Wish you would check out the music video for Parallel, by Seven. Brad Tuttle has the most underrated vocals in the genre. Don't even get me started on the song Brimstone that features Kutter from Eldest 11. You have ALOT of music to catch up on Mr. hehe
Im sure he breaks down and I feel it.
He is this good live, as this is pre recorded added to video I think.
Either way he is as good as this live. It’s incredible
Came here for Vessel but subscribed because of your super awesome breakdown of what is going on in an anatomical way!
I don’t see how you can not like Sleep Token.
You so need to check out dimash hes absolutely out of this world on range really amazing , he went on one of uk shows and nearly had Simon Cowell in tears 😢
I have a few Dimash reactions up! You can search for the playlist on my channel 😊
You got my like and subscribe instantly when you mentioned LOK
Love this band. This guy reacting has the same accent as Mrs. Doubtfire. Very interesting accent.
Sleep Token worship
You should definitely check the studio version ...there is some low-ass guitars tones :)
check out some
spiritbox circle with me live one take and jinjer judgement and punishment live one take! two great female rock singers that can do some unusual things !
A fun blend of Sam Smith and Chino Moreno in my humble opinion
Amazing voice for sure!! Sounds like LF is also a fan of Jeff Buckley.
I’m pretty sure Vessel is actually Bastille. Just sayin’ - you ever see them in a room together? Nope.
I loved this reaction! Can you react to “nothing nowhere - barely bleeding” 🏴
Please react to Nicole Scherzinger’s Never Enough performance!
Please react to Kyla singing "Hanggang Ngayon".
You need to react to ATLANTIC
Sometimes he kinda sounds like Jason Lancaster, doesn't he? The singer from early Mayday Parade and Go Radio.
If he dropped his jaw it'll be called a gutter roll
You should listen to Is It Really You? and Post a video on that. Fucking Incredible. 😍😍😍💙💙💙
Please react to the original version!!!! 🔥
The way that you were is hard to get through... Do it.
worship
Wen moar Sleep Token!?!?
Oh I need to revisit soon!
@@SSTVocalCoach This reaction was so enjoyable to watch, I look forward to another!
"I know nothing about them"
Awesomeness...
It is all you will know.
That, and that they make unreasonably good music
