Sleep Token performing Alkaline LIVE at Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2022 on the Fan Driven Stage.
Sleep Token Alkaline Lyrics
Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me
It's too late for me now, I am altered
There is something beneath
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
If anything
She's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
Either way I'm into it
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
It's good to see the Dementors left Hogwarts and started a band together. Absolutely killing it 👌
LMAO
😂
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
bro 😂😂😂
If any band deserves a huge theatre with an orchestra and high video production, it's these guys, I pray to see that one day.
You will.
Sleep token with an orchestra would go so FUCKING HARD
What a great call that is. It would be nuts.
They need a show at the Royal Albert Hall
With the kind of insane traction that they’re getting these days, probably even bigger.
Dude, his voice sounds even more chilling without heavy production. What a gifted guy.
If you like them, you might enjoy Poets of the Fall.
@@BretBowlby CARNEVAL OF RUUUUUUSTTTTTT
@@BretBowlbywow excellent recommendation, one of my favorite bands
Zeal and Ardor
No FOR REAL.
As incredible as Sleep Token are…was there ever a band less designed to perform in broad daylight? 🤣
I remember seeing AFI at Warped Tour when Sing the Sorrow was the latest album-when they were still full goth. That was weird in daylight.
I saw them at Download early in the day in 2018. It didn't seem so strange though as it was on one of the smaller stages in a largish tent, so was quite ambient and dark lighting.
Ghost lol
Ghost definitely
Nickelback
I love how Vessel is just rocking out in socks
gotta rock out with your socks out lol
@@honorisntheheart6006 I miss the socks tbh lol
of course his name is vessel lmao
I’d love to watch him perform in socks one day.
he is usually barefooted and the bassest is in socks, i think the only one wearing shoes is the drummer, but hey ya never know. also love your name. they are the only other band i have a tattoo for,
vessel's date: hey, wanna go see a sleep token concert?...
vessel: yeah sure, i'll meet you there
Vessel’s date: Where is he?
Vessel: right here
Vessel’s date: WHAT THE ACTUAL F-
Their bass player has more energy than some whole entire bands, I swear to god hahaha. Very entertaining to watch!
I know right! He was just groovin the whole time! Thanks for watching, please subscribe if you haven’t, thanks again for watching!
it's always the bass player that has the most energy in a band XD
I mean when you get mixed out of most songs it doesn’t matter how accurately you play
Kudos if you get the reference- for the rest, I keed i keed.
just came this late to the party, but i'm getting serious jonathan hultén vibes from him. can someone kinda confirm?
LOL 🤣 He was very energetic. 😂
Currently getting sucked into becoming obsessed with this band.
Me too
Chill music + metal = sleep token
check out aviations
No metal detected here
Emo band.
@@ravenmad9225 They’re Post Metal…
@@badground3534ah yes because a song with uber heavily distorted low tuned multi stringed guitars isn't metal
He just belted that intro out just like the album wow. love them so much
It sounded so freaking good! Thanks for watching, if you haven't yet please subscribe we have a ton of new content coming.
I don’t think you know what belted means
belted? that was the lowest note I've heard my entire life
@@zachwillowbay1553he definitely doesn't know what belted means
@@Skoot666I think he refers to 0:50
I really like these guys’ schtick - it’s not corny and it fits/amplifies the overall feel of the music and, most importantly, it works on a bright sunny day. Usually sunlight is kryptonite for “dark” bands like these, but this is killer!
Because honestly their “shtick” is more than just costumes and dark imagery. The more you dig into the band, the more you realize just how deeply righteous the entire concept is. I mean really think about it. They’ve completely stripped away their humanity in service to their higher power, and the music itself combined with the overall aesthetic of the band truly gives you that experience. These guys could play at the ass crack of dawn and it wouldn’t matter. The music and concept is just so damn good.
its def corny lol
@@virg_lew03no they sound like breaking Benjamin who decided to dress like some cult group and lots of synth. Higher power lmao😂 they’re as gimmicky as it gets.
@@CryWolfFilms i think it's corny, but it's not cringe. i think there's definitely a difference.
Corny AF, what a cringe fest.
Sleep Token needs to open for Ghost! What a show THAT would be!
This!
@@slevink90 That's your opinion, which I do not share.
@@slevink90 Again, that's your opinion. I've been playing drums for 40+ years. That doesn't make me an expert. I just like Ghost more than Sleep Token. And that's MY opinion.
@@slevink90 I do like Ghost, but you’re absolutely right; they don’t come close to Sleep Token in any way. Every member of ST is more proficient than anyone in Ghost (based solely on the material from each band respectively) and compositionally, Sleep Token are far superior.
@@slevink90 dude, shut the fuck up and post vids of you playing. Im so sick of hearing *insert anecdote/testimony*. Im willing to bet youre an incredibly mediocre/washed/creatively deprived musician that believes their shit doesnt stink. The arrogance coming off of your comments wreaks of I suck shit at playing
I freaking love Sleep Token and alkaline is such a killer song but damn they have freaking awesome stage energy. Bassist is jamming out like crazy lol
I was at this show and I was laughing so hard cuz this band is all about anonymity with a deeper meaning behind all of it, then you got the bass player over there doing leg kicks and shit😂😂 it was amazing
@@mikebarnes2392 same, and he kept yelling at us too, dude doesn't even have a mic but that doesn't stop him he's unhinged lol
The bassist is just having fun and I love it
The bassist seems like a goofball! Cool that they can do the anonymous thing and still have personality
That drummer is a beast!
He's the undiscovered element.
It’s probably someone like Luke Holland, the way he hits and the fills are a lot like Luke… too much like Luke for it not to be… Luke. Haha 😂
Is name is II
Adam Pedder
The name is ll remember that! dude is the shit🔥🔥
That drummer is absolutely perfect
Without a doubt. II is on a different plane of existence.
Bassy as some are referring to him is incredibly talented with his playing but also his silent communication with fans
They’re just as incredible in person as they are on their albums, this does them no justice and they’re still great here. Their 2022 performance in Melbourne was hypnotic. Worship.
Worship. Worship. Are you saying this video isnt doing them justice, or the stage show in general?
@@doctorstrainlove6318 just the video’s sound I think
They were amazing in Brissie too, shame they didn't get a longer set!!
@@0bsidianx626 100% the phones audio
Vessel and the rest are insanely talented and have got down the skill of consistency down to a science, its so mesmerizing to see them live
Can't wait for them to have a live performance featuring The Parallax Orchestra like BMTH, Architects, Alter Bridge...It gives me goosebumps already
I have never heard of these guys before but I was waiting for afterlife and everyone around me was talking about sleep token and how amazing they were and I brushed it off but wow... the hype behind them is real shit they were fucking amazing and I feel dumb I have been missing out on them all this time
I had heard of them, but one of my guys was like “you have to watch them!” And I’m glad I did!
If only everyone around me listening to the same heavy shit like me too, consider you're in luck
I felt the same when I discovered king diamond last year after having heard about them in the 80s. One of my best friends told me when I was still just a kid to NEVER LISTEN because I'd be possessed. That scared me pretty good back then. Now 44 and truly pissed I haven't had it in my life till now. Hail the king. And yes sleep token literally has possessed me in that same scary sort of way
I’m so in love with this masked man
I would do anything to hear them alive. I just knew them by their song The Summoning and sweet lord... This is so perfect...
10/10 would recommend them live, it was an experience that I will never forget. The videos I see of them live do them no justice because they really are incredible.
This drummer is pure 🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Man I'd kill to see them live
That was my first time seeing them! Trenton the guy that does interviews for our channel was like “you have to see these guys!”
@@SoundlinkTV so cool and thank you for sharing, the footage is great
@@stefaniekasal8620 not a problem! Make sure you subscribe, we have a a ton of content coming!
I'm probably too old to get all over excited about these guys, but I'm definitely sold on their creativity, utilising a combination of genres, changing signatures with precise execution and the ethereal soundscape that envelops their compositions.
I can't help but feel I've heard it all before in stages, though fair props to them.
It's bold, probably a little niche, but certainly some worthy ear candy for a change.
Never to old to get excited. Get pumppppeedd dude.
I think you make a very good point. For me though, I’d go one step further: The mystic surrounding the identities of the musicians really created a very special feeling and I think that was so cool and attracts me to them, but I kind of wish some of their music wasn’t so ‘Nu-metal-ish’ (I can’t find another word to describe it), I can imagine though that their live experience is so fucking awesome. Although I know that in the meantime, the identities have more or less been revealed 🤷♂️
Also, the mystery and hype kind of reminds me of GSYBE
Lol I also am wondering what all the fuzz is about..the Music is not quite on par with their appearence, I mean they try to look tough but the Music is like Pop/Rock. But I guess Im not being fair here, haven`t heard much of their music and listening to a phone recording won`t do anyone justice
I’ll give a listen to their albums sure. Sleep Token is a pretty cool name. The whole mask and costume thing just reeks of the nu-metal type stuff that I’ve never been able to get into, but I’m always open to exceptions.
God the chills they gave me, love this band and original they are in their way
hardly original...
@@KnightOfTheWired Same thing could be said about your comment
Thanks!!! Much apreciated. its great thing to see them so close and with day light. Wow!! Fucking great! Vessel is all into.
Thank you for filming and sharing this, it is very close and we can see all their moves pretty cool!!
Not a problem I have another set of these videos shot from my Gopro mounted on my camera while i was shooting their set. So it's kinda the "Photographer POV" I might upload too. Thanks for watching though if you haven't please subscribe
They are even more amazing live 😍 would love to see one of their shows one day 🙌🏻🤘🏻
The way the drums match the guitars in this song is incredible music composition.
Yeah that’s weird that the drums follow the guitar
This is incredible, I didn’t want it to end!
I love watching them, they all love what they do and you can tell!
Love them . Cannot wait to get the chance to experience it live
I saw them in Columbus Ohio… The hype is real… Worship!
Man the drummer legit s level I’m just blown away
The timing is something else. Absolute talent
I hope they get booked again this year, I looooove Sleep Token
Beautiful vocals both when symthesized and when live. Looking forward to listen to more of their albums.❤❤❤
Listen to this band every day. Incredible! 3 fidget spinners and 2💪
Dude, his voice is insane
PERFECT!
They are so incredibly DOPE
Amazing musicians! My favorite band! 👌🤘
Just watching the video is an insanely moving experience I couldnt imagine seeing this live
his vocals are immaculate, always surprise me even though I should be used to it by now. he's incredibly talented and skilled, I'm so happy I got to hear them live as well.
These guys are a breath of fresh air.
Where have you been all these years with katatonia around?
Intrigued by the thumbnail. Stayed for the music. Holy crap so good!
AWESOME! Thanks for checking it out! We have a few more from that show on our channel. Check out our full photo gallery at the link below and if you didn’t please subscribe! Thanks again!

Brilliant!!!!!
Gotta Love Sleep Token
What an AWESOME song!!! I’m a fan
The bassist... I can't.... 😭😭
Where tf were they when I needed their music the most? Lyric and instrumental is just flawless every time.
I cannot BELIEVE I was at this festival and I’m only just now finding this band. I skipped seeing them because I didn’t know who they were and now I’m obsessed with them
Rule number 2 at every festival: only go to shows of bands you dont know
@@ReichDerDornen Actually how I discovered so many bands
That Bass player is gollldd ❤
Perfeito demais! 😍
My favorite band on the planet 😍🥰💗
Divinal❤
Sleep Token are the Pure Love from the Abyss.
The voice 😍❤️❤️❤️
Definitivamente, en estos momentos buscaré videos del baterista. Es otro nivel ese maestro.
First time hearing these dudes. I like it a lot.
God they are just the best
They have a singer who can't sing. They are so far from good, let alone the best. Broaden your horizons. Listen to actual good bands.
@Kaguya idk what crack you're smoking that guy can sing circles around the best singer that you know
a música que eu escuto todos os dias 🖤
tambm escuto viu muito boa
Insane drummer!
I heard of them the first time when I saw this performance live! Great stuff
They killed!
I haven’t seen intensity like this in a while
His voice is fucking incredible even live. Who cant see the insane talent here and appreciate it?
thankful i get to see these guys in two weeks
Well it’s been 2 weeks how was it? Lmao
Speechless. 🔥🦖
These guys are growing on me
So interesting seeing them in broad daylight
Only recently heard of them, the daylight thing is actually ok for me to see a little better what they’re doing. They’re incredible! His voice is absolutely beautiful and the drumming is insane good!
even when the sound guy fucks up, Vessel still sounds like a god
Seeing them tomorrow in Baltimore and I increasingly can't wait. The bassist is stealing the show!
Awesome!
I just saw them last night with In This Moment and Nothing More. Their bassist is fucking insane lmao I love him. Dude was throwing out karate kicks and running all over the stage and actually walked into the crowd and played at one point lmao
@@Bavio Fingers crossed you get to see them next time they're over here, it really is something special
Why is this the best ST performance I have seen?!? This is an incredible performance. More people need to share this with their friends!!!!!!!
Damn, his voice is so much better live. Wish they would come to the Philippines! ❤️
Song Powerful and so Mysterious 😮 and deep soul.
First time i learned about Sleep Token was seeing them Live with Polyphia and being high AF, been a fan since
I love them all!!! III is the boss on the scenary :)
The bass player is a whole vibe
Ok I'm so new to sleep token and I agree with a lot of the comments here. They need a full orchestra and be like tool with doing night time sets with badass lights and lazers definitely would be badass to see them get more trance like live. Just my thoughts
OMG I almost didn’t notice ALPHA WOLF on the right jamming to them!! I love that so much
his voice is unreal
I don’t care about visuals, I wanna hear a good voice and his is fucking beautiful
estoy enamorado de esta banda
i just took a sleep token earlieir. hopefully it kicks in soon. took 4 of em actually
The scorn from destiny tearing it up!
God, when he goes into” oh let’s talk about chemistry” gives me fuckin chills brah
Guys are... Big. Something totally next level we are witnesses to as of today. Going deeper down the rabbit 🕳️
My back's aching just watching the bassist
Hahahaha you win the comment section!!!! #letshearforusoldpeople
I think i like this better live! Ateast i like the way he sings that intro here just a tad better! So good! 🤘💀🔥
where the fuck have i been? bruh, this band.... Damn.
Im just now listening to this 👌🤘
II
I'm here for U
Singer got a very unique tone
Bassist is cool, good vibes
Drummer is from another planet
Holy fucking shit this is incredible, never heard of them.
I live love laugh vessel
1:53 - The bassist on the left be like *whirlwind attack go!*
The whole socks situation is so unhinged yet suits it so much if that makes sense 😂
vessel sounds so good in this
oh my god they sounded even better live I NEED TO SEE THEM LIVEEE RGOD DAMMIGBSGSNFH
Oh kids, you can’t see it now, but by 2026, ST will be the biggest band in the world.
