The difference between a key change and an octave change is how much of a change in notes it is. An octave change takes the same note and transposes it up to the next octave which is 8 notes higher or lower. A key change only changes the notes by 1 or 2 notes and normally the whole band will follow with the change. An octave change will normally have the vocals change notes while the band keeps the same. Hope that helps, much love ❤️
@@Phillyboi2581it’s neither. He’s switching from his ‘chest’ voice to his ‘head’ voice. At one point he jumps more than an octave. That’s just 8 whole steps up. Just tryna educate! Music theory is fun!
just a fyi.... its only 2 people who make the music the singer(does guitar/bass/piano, live they hire touring members) "vessel1" and drummer/programmer/percussions aka "Drummer guy" how he could make a metal head love blues and RnB man.... the ending of this song is so perfect i swear
@@crystalarchitectslad4897 Except that nearly everyone in Slipknot is famous and recognizable outside of the masks. Sleep Token will take the masks off and chat with a couple fans after shows, but because they’re just random dudes with minimal social media presence- nobody recognizes them and it’s VERY hard to look them up.
@@solid5502 That’s why it works so well. You can see them walking around and physically see their faces after shows, but you don’t learn a single thing about them as people other than “they’re really nice, humble guys”.
Dude that little “huh?” At the beginning of the final jazzy breakdown is exactly how every single one of us felt listening to this masterpiece for a first time.
Twelve Foot Ninja has been doing genre mixing with metal for years if you’re curious. Their tone is a lot more comedic though but they still have a lot of bangers. I’d recommend starting with their song Vanguard or Mother Sky
Umm maybe, but there's a new In Flames album dropping next month and while I love both groups, that new In Flames stuff is crazy. Also, new Ne Obliviscaris album and the first single is nearly perfect.
There's like 6 songs in this one piece. Supremely elegant and melodic. This is in that category of the highest order of music. You want to inhabit it, never leave it.
its so wonderful seeing a band transcend genres and flow so fluidly between them. these guys understand music but not in a snobby way but an expression of pure unadulterated emotion. they really do take you on a journey!!!
As a musician, I'm so happy this band exists. They're taking elements from so many genres and doing something refreshing, but seamless. It's awesome to watch. The best reaction to this song, hands down... Love your channel.
More exposure?!!! How much exposure do they need?!!! They were scheduled for a show at the Fillmore in Silver Spring MD but for some reason it was cancelled the day of the show. The very next day them and two other bands played an unexpected show at Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore. The show was packed and it was a Wednseday. They have all the exposure they need.
This song awakens the ancestors of love and heartbreak. Masterful song structure, all the layers, textures, harmonies, wow. Unreal! I love your energy! ❤
Too lit mafia delivering the undeniable flame. You are not the only one that was surprised by this masterpiece of a song. Sleep Token is a special band. Vessel's voice is unreal and soul piercing.
A little more music theory: key change vs out of key chords (non-diatonic). Key change is when the whole key is shifted and stays that way for an amount of time. When notes/chords are out of key, that isn't necessarily a key change, but are non-diatonic chords/notes being used to add color and tension to a movement. Sleep Token does both :) btw, the root of a key, like A in A Major, is called the "tonic", so "diatonic" notes are all notes in that key, "dia-" meaning "through," "throughout," or "completely". So all diatonic notes are notes throughout the key of the tonic note. The more you know! 🌟🌈
This song was on our local rock station and I had to ask Siri what song it was three different times. Literally just changed and flowed all in one song. I’ve been glued to them ever since.
Easily their best song, and theres some amazing competition in their lineup for that spot. Its just so good. They've perfected their craft. Love how into you get! Thats what I'm here for! You have a real ear for music and musical theory and I appreciate it
The reason I love your reactions is because I can tell you are always actually truly into the song and really feeling it and it shows. Your heartfelt reactions make me feel it deeper as well. :)
They are really blowing up atm. I saw they had a gig in Australia for around April. They advertised it 5 days ago. When I tried to get one yesterday, tickets exhausted already 💀
They do change keys in this song along with polyrhythm and other crazy shit but his singing is just switching from his chest voice to his head voice or maybe falsetto ;) and the contrast is incredibly beautiful.
Found out about these guys early on. To hear their progression is on another level. Every release is just another layer of how good they are. Great reaction.
Bro u mesmerized by "music theory" that is what we call them key changes and how they fit together so seamlessly to create a certain kind of atmosphere. Great reaction. 🤙
Musicality at its best -- you said it mate. Absolutely god tier musicianship, technical prowess, compositional mastery....I am floored by these two dudes.
I'm glad I came across this breakdown, because the new Sleep Token leaves me absolutely speechless. You put it into words and emotions I couldn't figure out. They are truly remarkable.
This guys are so unpredictable that got me always thinking how the hell they gonna end the song,as you said the key changes,the melodies,the arrangements,the layers, pretty much the best sleep token song,and one of my favorites reactions here in you tube
Absolutely love Sleep Token. They've made such melodic, incredible pieces that continue to hold me since the moment I first listened. I'm always eager to memorize what they do. Worship.
Was waiting for your reaction! I love this band so much! They are one of the few that could pull this off. To say the fandom is excited is an understatement! Check out Chokehold (was released the day before The Summoning). Also listen to The Offering, Hypnosis, Higher, Nazareth, Blood Sport (both versions), Sugar, and High Water. Worship!
Love your reaction brother watch this reaction more than I watch the actual visualizer video from Sleep Token. Awesome reaction love what you add to the track and the nuances you notice! Stay Lit! Keep it coming sleep token!
i love your reaction at the 9 min mark of the video with the sudden change of the whole song, that is what i love about this band even my friends hearing their stuff were like WTF IS THIS????
The song Atlantic is BEAUTIFUL. Vessel has a voice that can just make you melt. The end of this song is *chefs kiss* immaculate. Edited because I didn't realize that Atlantic was an original and not the same as the other Atlantic that pulled up when I searched it.
Sorry for the fans in the background a/c in the room was down unfortunately, hope you enjoyed the reaction non the less. STAY LIT!!

You need to check out Nolan Taylor song called 68 raw emotional and honest
Sleep Token's vocalist is 100% correct. "We wear masks because it doesn't matter who we are or what we look like. Just focus on our art in the music."
I think i've already heard this statement somewhere with the same thought... prolly slipknot

That jazzy ending is the equivalent of a nasty breakdown
Agreed!!!!
Breakdown from when breakdowns were fuuuuunnnnkkkkk
That’s how breakdowns worked in the 60’s, the birthplace of metalcore breakdowns is that.
That funk breakdown gives me life!
It's like an anti-breakdown, and it absolutely fucks for sure
7:44 "I'm done. This is a friggin' masterpiece, boys." And internally I'm thinking well you better buckle up. It ain't done yet. Lol
Literally any time I introduce someone to Sleep Token I say, “Buckle the fuck up.”
Cause we’re going on a ride.
Ya the last minute and a half gets even better
Yeah, I was like, bruh, you haven’t even gotten to the best part yet😂
Same ! I said get reaaaddy!
I just said this to a friend. "We're about to go on a journey."
To put it candidly, I have never heard a song like this one. This floored me.
I need more songs just like this

Yall forget periphery is coming too
@@iabdgogogo1234letsgo wait a ne obliviscaris fan speaking of them in the wild? Crazy
Still to early to say that, hate to burst your bubble
Right after Chokehold 👌
absolutely no one saw that ending coming and it goes so hard
There's like 6 songs in this one piece. Supremely elegant and melodic. This is in that category of the highest order of music. You want to inhabit it, never leave it.
The amount of chills this song gives me is ridiculous ❤
Saaaaaame ❤
Thank You Will Ramos for introducing me to this band i love them And his cover of Hypnosis is amazing.
Thank you for telling me Will Ramos covered Hypnosis that’s fucking lit
Eho
Same lmao
Yo what, I gotta find that cover now
@@swirle13 yes you do
This song is sexy on so many levels.
Hell YES!!
its so wonderful seeing a band transcend genres and flow so fluidly between them. these guys understand music but not in a snobby way but an expression of pure unadulterated emotion. they really do take you on a journey!!!
This album deserves all of the awards. First medal album that’s floored me in a while.

The best reaction to this song, hands down...
Love your channel.
Him using the keyboard like a tambourine 🤣🤣🤣
Not gonna lie, Sleep Token set the bar for 2023 metal a bit too high 😂😂
Bad omens is better
@@chillyoungapex8545 shit take
@@chillyoungapex8545 That was 2022 ma' dude
They've easily taken the lead for me.
Suddenly, Tesseract.
I really hope these guys get more exposure this year! I've been digging them for a while.
They have gone up 100k follows on Spotify since this came out, they are def blowing up rn
Tik Tok seems to be showing em a lot more which is great. Hopefully they get the same pop off as Bad Omens did.

They just signed a contract with RCA records so they are definitely going to blow up❤
This song has been on REPEAT. It’s become a new favorite of mine.
Gods, The Offering, all go hard as well.. This band is on the verge of taking over the world and I am here for it. #Worship
Best love song I've heard in a long time. Absolutely destroyed my expectations.
Sleep Token always gives me Killswitch vibes, they’ve been my top favorite for years now and I’m glad they’re getting the recognition they deserve.
Your "oh no" once the funky part hit killed me 😅 absolute masterpiece of a track
Saw them live saturday. They really deliver !!!!
They definitely do.
I 2nd this

The song goes from mosh pit to Risk of Rain, back to mosh pit to baby makin music…. And I love it
This song gives bohemian rhapsody vibes. Very much a piece of art
That ending is a babymaker right there
That groove though at the end!! Loved your reaction man, definitely should check out there other brand new track "Chokehold"!

Incredible track
Granite is a straight vibe. Worship🙌
I think your reaction has adequately summed up how anyone feels when they hear this gem of a track. Excellent work.
I've had this and Chokehold on repeat since they came out 🔥🔥🔥
They are really blowing up atm. I saw they had a gig in Australia for around April. They advertised it 5 days ago. When I tried to get one yesterday, tickets exhausted already 💀
Most tickets went in the presale, I believe.

My wife showed me Sleep Token, and I was absolutely floored! I've been obsessed with em ever since! So good!
Metalbirb said it best, “Its gonna make you wanna cry, mosh, and grind”
2LM with the Sleep Token? Absolutely.
Vessel has us all in a chokehold 🥴
I see what you did there.
I swear 😂
The night does not belong to god.
The night belongs to you!
Found out about these guys early on. To hear their progression is on another level. Every release is just another layer of how good they are. Great reaction.
I appreciate how into the music you actually are. Its so nice to see people really soak it all in, process it, and form valid thoughts.
Thanks for showing ST some love!!
We need to bring back metal anime openings...... I want this song should be the opening track to Solo Leveling that's coming out this year 🔥🔥🔥

“This seems a bit harder than what they usually put out” - Proceeds to get slapped in the face by the breakdown 😂
Loved the reaction man! It's a masterpiece indeed. Sleep token is just not from this planet.
When you said “oh no” is exactly how I felt at the beginning of the jazzy/r&b breakdown the first time I heard it lmao
I'm glad I came across this breakdown, because the new Sleep Token leaves me absolutely speechless. You put it into words and emotions I couldn't figure out. They are truly remarkable.
I just got cold chills listening to this song
So we have the song of the year already in the middle of January!
Dude this song, artistically, was an emotional roller-coaster.
Love they are changing the ambiance of the music to the ambiance of the video. Fantastic.

Absolutely love Sleep Token. They've made such melodic, incredible pieces that continue to hold me since the moment I first listened. I'm always eager to memorize what they do. Worship.
Them an Nothing More have gave rock more of an audience to the younger generation so glad to see these to bands dropping masterpieces
That guitar solo is so jazzy. Puts me in the mind of MJ or Prince style solo's from the 80's.
Not one thing “jazzy” about it. It’s a great rock solo but I have no clue where you got jazzy from.
this song is so good the ending is the best I need more of that ending into a song its so dam good
You have my favorite reaction of this song that I’ve seen so far. Good stuff.
This new year only Holds blessings🔝Keep at It g🙏🏽
i love your reaction because it's the same as mine when i encountered this song for the first time. now it's on full repeat, they're a genius.
