If no one has explained the lore for you guys, allow me. Sleep Token was born when the lead singer, named Vessel, was visited in a dream by at diety crudely named Sleep. The band is anonymous, only known by Vessel (lead singer), II (drums), III (lead guitar) and IV (bass). Not really a "religious band" per say but the band does have a cultish feeling/following. Concerts are known as rituals, merch and music releases, we are told to "consume" or "devour", and when we come together during these "rituals", it is treated as a form of "Worship" (the bands main tag line). Hopefully, this gives yall some insight. As far as another song to react to, please give the title track "Take Me Back To Eden" and "Ascensionism" a listen.
Yes, this is as compact as it gets because there is time travelling, going back and forward, obsesion and many more stuff in the back, I think the lore compendium made by a fan is like 60 or 70 pages of just his interpretation and what he thinks... Sleep Token is not just a band its a experience. WORSHIP!
Technically, you could say ST is a religious band - the band's lore revolves around an ancient deity they call "Sleep." Vessel, the lead singer, said in the only interview that he has ever given, "As musicians we are inspired by the human condition and a plethora of artists, but we are deeply moved by His words and continue to do our utmost to bring them to life. As followers we are bound by a duty to combine our crafts to create music that conveys some of our most primal, and powerful emotions." Also, all of the band members are masked and anonymous, although if you really want to figure out who they are, you can. I do not recommend commenting on their identities, because the anonymity is an important part of the band to many fans. So, not religious in the sense of worshipping an Abrahamic god, but the back story is spiritual in nature. Each song is supposed to be an "offering" to Sleep, and ST fans gather to "worship."
I dunno about all that I just like to spark one up and turn my brain off to it and enjoy the few hours of bliss we so rarely get in this busy messy noisy world we've made
They have become one of my favorite bands over the last coupla years. I'd recommend checking out Granite. I think y'all would like the genre blends/switch ups in it. Ascensionism as well.
Album of the year so far. Also just wanna say keep up the vibes. I been watching for couple eyars now and you guys chill and really listen to the music. Like hanging out with some stoner buds showing them new tunes.
I just recently got into them and they have mentally and emotionally affected me. I have not stopped listening to their album multiple times through every day for the past two months. They make you FEEL and the lyrics are just WOW. This is the greatest album I’ve ever heard and it took me by surprise. Fantastic band.
Another great reaction guys. I’ve been a fan of there’s for many years now,and have enjoyed seeing how their music has progressed into this new album. They just get better and better. Happy to see that they are finally getting the recognition that they deserve. I am going to see them in concert this September and I cannot wait! I hope you check out more songs by them. I’ll be watching 😊
Lol Massachusetts is literally 10 minutes north of me. They have some grea dispensaries. Around here we only say mass. I don't know anyone who says the full state name. Just like I read we call each other nutmeggers and yet I have never heard anyone say that my whole life.
I love seeing people’s 1st reaction to sleeptoken!! It’s like the old women in the wedding singer when she hands Adam Sandler the meatballs one in each hand and makes him try them in front of her to get his reaction to the good meatballs!! Her face is mine when I see someone experience sleeptoken for the very 1st time ❤❤❤ love you guys!
The song is about someone you love/and ex lover. You want them/the relationship to raise you up again and so much so that you want them to take you past the edge that you are willing to die for them or wanting to die happy. As in “I want to see the other side, won’t you show me what it’s like” it’s an amazing song. The whole album goes in order of a story if you pay close attention to the lyrics in order of the songs lol, Sleep Token has been growing on me to become a top 3 band and I’ve been looking into them a lot to say the least😂💯
Trust me, just do some album reactions and do all 3 albums - you guys are deep, and you'll really be fascinated by the emotional depth if you listen to full albums
Thier songs are perfect for those moments when you just need to let it all out. Recently I've been addicted to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song. Reacting to it would be awesome 🤘
Imagine with me if you will...a ritual...a summoning...its hard and violent and dirty. People get hurt. Finally its complete...who did they summon? What did they summon? A savior? A demon? The lights go out. Its pitch black. Then a glow like the northern lights and eerie music. The ritual worked! Then boom! CRASH! A spotlight...lands... on a male stripper congrats peeps! Get your dolla bills out! Its party time!
I came to say the same as everyone else... Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden. But the whole album is an absolutely stunning piece of art and I cannot recommend it enough! Worship.
fvkin enjoyed that a ton. s tier energy. Can’t stop listening to this! 🤘Btw Nick Thurl Mavromatis has done it again! His new song is a masterpiece. React to it now!
I wouldn’t say ST is a religious band. Religious in the sense that he is worshipping and offering to the deity Sleep. There’s a lot of stories in their discography, past relationships, self harm, depression, drugs even. It’s also very open to the interpretation of who is listening. They’re an amazing band 🖤
Cool song, but after reading some of the comments the band seems interesting to say the least. There is a band I like called Sleep Party People that are also pretty evasive and wear masks. That doesnt creep me out, but calling the shows "worship" thats another level. Enjoyed the reaction though.
Debatably yes a religious band. As they are Pagans and worship an old God named Sleep. Look it up the lead singer Vessel saw “it” during a dream or something and now they worship it
The meaning of the song is in each listener, make of it what you will. I always thought it was just a dirty love song😊 is sleep token "post metal?" Not even sure if this term is a thing yet but it is now...
Great reaction guys! ST is my fave band and they deserve all the accolades they get! Keep checking them out; you won’t be disappointed. Oh and btw, not a religious band.
ASCENSIONISM!!! It's the heart of this Album, mindblowing poetry in the most progressive and at the same time organic musical costume...... And groovy af
The thought just occurred to me. I kinda get Prince vibes from this song for some reason. I feel like Prince would have loved Sleep Token. Imagine him covering “The Summoning”. He would shred that guitar solo. Man… That would have been 🔥
This band almost instantly became my favorite band. One of the most unique groups out there atm. I highly recommend checking out Take Me Back to Eden, Blood Sport (from the room below), Ascensionism, and Alkaline.
Morning fellas! Oh hell ya! I love the guitars in this one. Good song! Also check out will ramos cover of "chokehold",its realllly good!! Thanks guys! Great choice!❤️🤓
Take Me Back To Eden… ALBUM OF THE YEAR Sleep Token = amazing band I think you would love Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden… (both incredible tracks) You should do this album cover to cover, TRULY A MASTERPIECE, IM NOW ADDICTED
"It's not all it's cracked up to be" might be the phrase you were looking for at the end. I only found this because chalked up sounded right so i googled, and this was the closest to the phrase. But now i don't remember if it will fit what you were saying in the video 😂
The raw energy and passion in their performance is palpable. Recently I've been addicted to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song. Reacting to it would be awesome 🤘

Discovered them recently, so thank you .
So like Ghost
Another vote for Take Me Back To Eden .... such a gorgeous song
@@friendlyneighborhoodclown7754 ?? Like Ghost from Destiny?

Cringe. Just play the fucking music.

"You know what's comin', right?"
No. No you don't. They got us ALL with that final, Funk transition!
Take Me Back To Eden is album of the year for me this far.
Highly recommend the Sleep Token rabbit hole, sooooo many good songs 🤘🏻
Sleep Token is so good. Hope you react to more! You need to hear Will Ramos covering Sleep Token too.
Yes!! The will Ramos cover is the shit! Loved it!
@@kristaspecht all of Will's covers are amazing! I hope we get some reactions.
As others have said, Take Me Back To Eden, and Ascensionism are two other songs on this album you guys will dig and be shocked by.
unforunately they kafe videos :(
I think you guys will LOVE the new album's title track "Take Me Back To Eden".
Ascensionism next! Actually, just do the whole album - you will not regret it!
Take me back to Eden pls😭🙈
I ✨️love✨️ watching the ride this song takes people on 💜
In 20 years I think these guys will be talked about in this decades big 4 metal bands and will be headlining downloads and wackens
Yo, loved how much you guys got into it. We need the whole album reaction !
I just recently got into them and they have mentally and emotionally affected me. I have not stopped listening to their album multiple times through every day for the past two months. They make you FEEL and the lyrics are just WOW. This is the greatest album I’ve ever heard and it took me by surprise. Fantastic band.
Sleep Token has quickly become a favorite of mine and there's many songs I think you guys would like by them.
It's Moonbat Massachusetts! We refer to ourselves as "Massholes".....lol!
Another great reaction guys. I’ve been a fan of there’s for many years now,and have enjoyed seeing how their music has progressed into this new album. They just get better and better. Happy to see that they are finally getting the recognition that they deserve. I am going to see them in concert this September and I cannot wait! I hope you check out more songs by them.

Sandra Bullock's cousin is the real MVP for this recommendation
Whole album reaction. Trust me, my dudes!
Their song Take me back to Eden next please 🙏
I love seeing people’s 1st reaction to sleeptoken!! It’s like the old women in the wedding singer when she hands Adam Sandler the meatballs one in each hand and makes him try them in front of her to get his reaction to the good meatballs!! Her face is mine when I see someone experience sleeptoken for the very 1st time ❤❤❤ love you guys!
Lol. I love how both of them are vibing to the verse at two very different tempos 😂
Ope, "take me back to eden" HAS to be the next sleep token reaction yall do. Listen I dont make the rules.
Deep need for this whole album reaction
I couldn't hit the thumbs up button fast enough. This band is such a ride. Every damn song. #Worship
The high-energy performance of this band is a force to be reckoned with.
Hollywood always thinks there's a drop coming 😅
The song is about someone you love/and ex lover. You want them/the relationship to raise you up again and so much so that you want them to take you past the edge that you are willing to die for them or wanting to die happy.

freakin loved it a super lot. insane sonic material. Really cool band, super talented, pretty eclectic 😍😍😍
This whole album is a beautiful expression of music, on so many levels. Definitely hit up more, my favorite on the album is Vore.
You need to do sleep token ascensionism it's right in your wheelhouse
Yeah you guys would love ascensionism by them
Thier songs are perfect for those moments when you just need to let it all out. Recently I've been addicted to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song. Reacting to it would be awesome 🤘
This band is poetry. Hardly a bad song on the album.
Oh please someone suggest they Take me back to Eden or Ascensionism for a reaction, I'm waiting for this
Imagine with me if you will...a ritual...a summoning...its hard and violent and dirty. People get hurt. Finally its complete...who did they summon? What did they summon? A savior? A demon? The lights go out. Its pitch black. Then a glow like the northern lights and eerie music. The ritual worked! Then boom! CRASH! A spotlight...lands... on a male stripper congrats peeps! Get your dolla bills out! Its party time!
I can see that happening
It's about sex. "I've got a blood trail, red in the blue" (red blood in blue veins). "Raise me up". "Take me higher".
13:55 spot on
I came to say the same as everyone else... Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden. But the whole album is an absolutely stunning piece of art and I cannot recommend it enough! Worship.
I think you were trying to say that something “isn’t all it’s cracked up to be” Hollywood (?)
You guys definitely need to react to Granite, Dark Sign and Ascension for sure
Please listen to Ascensionism and Take me back to Eden!! These songs are masterpieces
fvkin enjoyed that a ton. s tier energy. Can’t stop listening to this! 🤘Btw Nick Thurl Mavromatis has done it again! His new song is a masterpiece. React to it now!

There are parts that reminds me of Leprous
I agree with the others with the Ascensionism recommendation.....but......
LISTEN TO SLEEP TOKEN - SUGAR
😏
Are we gonna get any tracks from life is but a dream by a7x?
Cool song, but after reading some of the comments the band seems interesting to say the least. There is a band I like called Sleep Party People that are also pretty evasive and wear masks. That doesnt creep me out, but calling the shows "worship" thats another level. Enjoyed the reaction though.
Sleep Token be like "SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS THIS METAL SONG IS A FUCKJAM NOW"
Its about sex
"i got a river running right in to you"
Perfect reaction.... "Oh here we go! Wait what? Oh they switched it up.... wow this is amazing"
just now Nick Thurl Mavromatis dropped a banger 🔥 You gotta react to it!
Best album since lateralus.
It's a good album but theres no comparison to lateralus
How could somebody not like this song. Lmao.
Sleep Token...hmmm....Gojira, Cynic, Tool...and Pestilence "Spheres"...🥰
0:42 Massa-2$**tts - the Bay state
😹🤣😹🤣😹🤣
" DEUCES "
✌🏻😸✌🏻
Vessel sent me here
That lyric video's lyrics had so many incorrect lyrics.
take me back to eden next!!
I love me some sleep token but I don't get the huge deal about them. Twelve foot ninja has this sound in some of their songs.
Check out LOATHE.
Second
Debatably yes a religious band. As they are Pagans and worship an old God named Sleep. Look it up the lead singer Vessel saw “it” during a dream or something and now they worship it
This song FUKKS !!
Could be like Ghost that praises Lucifer... So not neccesarily the God bothering type of music
They sing about sex a lot but it’s cryptic. Just my impression
they summonning bad taste i guess
He’s talking about a woman in this song lol
The anticipations make me literally cringe.
They ain't summoning interesting music that's for sure
The meaning of the song is in each listener, make of it what you will. I always thought it was just a dirty love song😊 is sleep token "post metal?" Not even sure if this term is a thing yet but it is now...
Sleep token is the new generation of baby making music
I'm in my sixties now but still get very excited when great new arrives. Currently obsessed with their album.
You guys are not ready for the bars he spits in Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden. You HAVE to react to those two at the very least.
No spoilers! Lol
Great reaction guys! ST is my fave band and they deserve all the accolades they get! Keep checking them out; you won’t be disappointed. Oh and btw, not a religious band.
Yes it is a religious band. Their god is Sleep.
@@robdaniel3211 Point well made, sir.
🙏🏼
Easily my most favorite band now. Check out the title track Take Me Back To Eden
Ascensionism is the one you wanna React to!
ASCENSIONISM!!! It's the heart of this Album, mindblowing poetry in the most progressive and at the same time organic musical costume...... And groovy af
The thought just occurred to me. I kinda get Prince vibes from this song for some reason. I feel like Prince would have loved Sleep Token.
Imagine him covering “The Summoning”.
He would shred that guitar solo.
Man… That would have been 🔥
This band almost instantly became my favorite band. One of the most unique groups out there atm. I highly recommend checking out Take Me Back to Eden, Blood Sport (from the room below), Ascensionism, and Alkaline.
Morning fellas! Oh hell ya! I love the guitars in this one. Good song! Also check out will ramos cover of "chokehold",its realllly good!! Thanks guys! Great choice!❤️🤓
"Is this a religious band, you think?" - Well yes, but not how you expect.
Sleep token is religious, yes. As in, some of their followers worship.
We are summoning Sleep worship!!! Def checkout Acensionism, Rain, and Take Me Back to Eden
Also something worth mentioning here. Vessel plays and writes everything but the drums in the studio, and hires others to help play live.
Unpopular opinion but I really don’t like this band
Take Me Back To Eden…
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Sleep Token = amazing band
I think you would love Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden… (both incredible tracks)
You should do this album cover to cover, TRULY A MASTERPIECE, IM NOW ADDICTED
Sleep token is a hard no for me lol
"It's not all it's cracked up to be" might be the phrase you were looking for at the end. I only found this because chalked up sounded right so i googled, and this was the closest to the phrase. But now i don't remember if it will fit what you were saying in the video 😂
This song is a perfect example of how metal can unleash a whirlwind of energy. Btw seriously you need to reacto to end up dead by Nick Thurl
Do something from the Extortionist on the album Exoplanet!
Check out take me back to Eden or Ascensionism off their new album
You guys are my favorite
This band rocks so hard!
Deftones Leathers
The raw energy and passion in their performance is palpable. Recently I've been addicted to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song. Reacting to it would be awesome 🤘
Slaps.
