I was never into Lorna Shores type of music before but when i heard them with Will last year I'm really staring to like and appreciate all the work and talent
@@sandraleuchtenberger8543 That's just how vessel sounds, which is why covers like these always can bring a unique spin on it. Would say both versions are equal, great for different reasons and that's amazing for a cover
When this cover dropped I knew that I was going to love it more, not taking anything away from the original. Will and Vessel are my favorite vocalists in metal today. They are both vocal unicorns. I hope you are doing better Chels.🙏❤
I am not a huge Sleep Token fan (yet…just started listening), but this was fantastic. I can not get enough. I didn’t think I could love Will Ramos more.
Goosebumps hopefully equates to....well Mat happy! ....or Chels. Most likely both. Hmmmm.... nice! It's quite obvious Chels drives. I will not say anything further beyond, Mat has a awesome car to sit in
Which do I prefer? Will's version, 100%. Personally, while I respect your opinion, I feel your criticism of Vessel for this song is a little much. That being said, Will absolutely blows the original out of the water. No contest, it's definitely the superior version.
I would also say equal because they each did it in their own way and I get what Mat means about Vessel's vibrato but I just don't mind it at all 🤣 . I do also hope Will is gonna do some more clean singing because it's absolutely beautiful 😍
I have always enjoyed Vessel's sound a lot, this is not particularly my favorite track by them, but Will's cover was amazing. May sound a bit self centered but as a lower baritone/bass sort of voice, I tend to really stick with singers that I can actually emulate and sound like while singing along, and though I am NOWHERE near as good as Vessel or Will, I find Sleep Token songs fairly easy to sing too in most places because I have a similar tone and gravitate towards a similar style as Vessel.
@@upsidedownpyramid7617 I appreciate you actually giving a constructive criticism towards both parties I as well gravitate to lower singers being a mezzo soprano so can completely understand why you'd gravitate to towards Vessel's voice. His voice is super smooth and is able to genre hop which is massively important these days and Will is a beast that is able to enunciate no problem with harsh vocals just this cover was very well done have much respect for both artists and huge fan of both just definitely chokehold most definitely was dragging a bit I liked how Will gave it the Will kiss of heaviness lol
@@beautifuldisaster3035 It is super nice to hear, Vessel rarely screams in his music but when he does its always really good, I like that will adds more harsh vocals in with his own flare. I am personally a big fan of songs like Vore, Granite, Aqua Regia, The Summoning, and Bloodsport. Chokehold never did it for me but you can't deny either singer's talent. I can see how the overuse of vibrato and the smoky sexual kind of tone can be a bit overdone and kill the vibe in Vessel's case though. I like it in some places but could do without it in others, it absolutely fits the vibe of the band though, considering all of the music is sort of this concept of a sort of sexual or romantic approach to the worship of a deity. The lyricism is on point, it always has multiple meanings depending on how you read it.
@@upsidedownpyramid7617 definitely agree they definitely have a sexual undertones but that extremely purposeful but that is the sensual jazzy flare that obviously the band enjoys to play and Vessel enjoys singing in and is comfy in it works extremely well I actually really love Rain and this is tough because I honestly love the album a lot are you really ok I like his prospective for it also love bloodsport, alkaline, Calcutta, the love you want, and missing limbs. Honorable mention granite
I agree with Matt, here’s my take Will’s clean vocals are very, very good “almost” equal to Vessel however Will’s harsh vocals at 50% are superior to Vessels.
I don't know if I would say its better IMO, I am with Chels in saying I like them equally, Sleep Token is very much a sort of mood thing for me, I go to them if I want a nice sensual twist of different genres. Will is a different vocalist though and I think his take was phenomenal. With the screams and everything else from a technical standpoint Will mopped Vessel by adding in harder techniques to the mix of the original, but that doesn't make me like the original any less.
Personally I think Will's cover is better than the original. I've listened to both and Will's cover is the one that definitely stick a lot more to me and the one that I'd listen more than just once for sure. I do agree that, at least for this song in particular, Vessel's voice is a bit too unnecessarily tremoling and that Will made it justice by going nice and smooth and clean with the bit of spicy scream in the middle. But that smoothness took the whole song to much higher place than the original in my opinion, effectively making that his own take and frankly, I love when someone doesn't just copy the original but make it even better.
Got to agree with Mat here, when I added chokehold to my playlist I went with Will’s cover over the original, just seems better to me nothing against vessel, but Will is just unbelievable !!! Keep up the good work you 2!! Love your content!
will has clearly been leveling up his cleans (probably with the guidance of The Charismatic Voice) - they're not remotely on Vessel level, but flip side...let's hear vessel one-take To the Hellfire 🤔😂 great reaction as always guys
Will is waay more dynamic than Vessel. To think that Will in addition have asthma is mind blowing. I totally agree what Mat says about Vessel, he is sooo dramatic it's cringe
Hey mat and chels great reaction I can't wait till you guys do alexs terrible reaction to the song alekino from the video game atomic heart it's on the games sound track
I respect and appreciate the opinion of every listener, but for me personally, Mr. Ramos sang a cover of Slеер Tokel's songs twice better than the original
Will’s singing is also more enunciated I feel like. Vessel is amazing but he sounds like he has peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth most of the time. Lol
I completely agree with you. I'm not sure why but I cannot get into the vocals from Vessel. Not saying Sleep Token isn't incredibly talented but I cannot help but prefer Wills vocals. I would probably be into Sleep Token way more if Will was the lead.
Not really a fan of Lorna Shore I cant really listen to more than a song of theirs at a time and sometimes not even one song because it becomes to Samey. But this was pretty good.
I like sleep token as makers of music but vessels little vocalisations are annoying as fuck .Sleep token makes good music but will ramos makes good music into great music.
100% this was better than the original. I honestly find Vessel's vocals not as great as everybody goes on about. I will say I like Vessel's vocals more on the new stuff but overall.... nah bruh. Vessel isn't as good as people think. #sorrynotsorry
yeppppp. Vessel sounds kind of sloppy in a way that doesn't fit with Sleep Token's very clean, heavily-produced music. If their style was grittier and grungier, it would be perfectly fine-- akin to Peter Steele and Type O Negative, in my opinion. I can probably get used to his voice and grow to like Sleep Token, but right now I honestly only like Will's covers...
We have opposing opinions. I don't consider his covers to be anything special. No more special than amateur Worshippers and their own covers. I think he should work harder on Lorna Shore
"Harder then Jesus nailed to a cross" omg Mat totally made my day with that comment. Amazing reaction as always.
🤣🤣
I agree, this was better, Will is giving us a lot of emotions in n his voice, love it!
At this point if we don't get a duet with Vessel and Will or some kind of collab I'm gonna be a sad boy. This needs to happen! 😭
As much as I like sleep token. I agree with Matt on this one. Will was pure perfection . Absolutely amazing cover.
The way Chels can’t stop smiling when Will starts singing. That is fantastic. Love you guys!
Absolutely agree with Matt 100% This version hit so much harder emotionaly! Love it. Will is top of the food chain right now in Metal 😎🤘🔥
I was never into Lorna Shores type of music before but when i heard them with Will last year I'm really staring to like and appreciate all the work and talent
Vessel's voice is so unique and developed that I don't think anyone can do it like he does. I did love the Hypnosis cover Will did though.
Agreed. They are both very different vocalists, but both very good in their own rights.
Vessel has a very familiar voice. The lead vocalist of Khemmis sounds very similar to Vessel. The forest rangers have a similar vibe as well.
100% agree with Mat 😁🤘🏻
💯 brother. I’m with you on this one
Same here. I sometimes wish Vessel would do a little less "extra" with his tonality and riffs and stuff. Wills version is perfect!
@@sandraleuchtenberger8543 That's just how vessel sounds, which is why covers like these always can bring a unique spin on it. Would say both versions are equal, great for different reasons and that's amazing for a cover

I am not a huge Sleep Token fan (yet…just started listening), but this was fantastic. I can not get enough. I didn’t think I could love Will Ramos more.
Screaming part bangs. I like both variations
I absolutely agree with Mat
Will cover is better for sure. Agree with Mat’s hot take!
I also believe this is better than the original. Will Ramos killed this shit
Chels’s face @ 2:46 😂 Love it!
Goosebumps hopefully equates to....well Mat happy! ....or Chels. Most likely both. Hmmmm.... nice! It's quite obvious Chels drives. I will not say anything further beyond, Mat has a awesome car to sit in
i love will ramos and always will
I didn't think this song could be improved, I should have known Will could do it.
I got goosebumps from start to end
It pisses me off that I can’t get this cover on Apple Music, because I listen to this several times a day. Will did it better.
Your cover does this incredible justice!Obsessed with Dark by October Ends! Your take on it would be incredible!
I have this cover on repeat every since I heard it couple days ago.. So damn good!
Would like to add is there anything Will Ramos can't do?
We think the answer is “no.”
Which do I prefer? Will's version, 100%. Personally, while I respect your opinion, I feel your criticism of Vessel for this song is a little much. That being said, Will absolutely blows the original out of the water. No contest, it's definitely the superior version.

So good. I think it's good for people to do others songs cos they add their own magic to it
Will slays!
Chel's smile when he started singing, lmao.
I'm there with ya, girl.
100% will needs to do a feature with them!
Oh mat you're a funny guy, and I agree 100% this is much more preferred for me lol he sings it so smooooothly
I'm with you on Will's covers being better than the Sleep Token originals. Especially this one, but for both.
You should also react to his cover of slow dancing in the dark by joji with his clean vocals again.
I guess if Vessel is sick or needs a break they have a substitute for him
I agree whit Mat! Will kill this song
This cover makes everyone precipitate. Lol
Agreed. Even think the same about hypnosis.
I’ve been tryin to get into sleep token and can’t . I can only listen to wills covers 😩😂😂
Mee too.... But Will's cover is just sexier and heavier.. the combination of his smooth buttery voice and screams is so fucking good. I can't...
That man can do no wrong 🖤
Yes sir
Yup
Subscribed to you guys!! Great reaction, and you guys funny!! 😁
Thanks for subbing! 😀
I'd like to Hear Will cover In The House Of Flies & Slept So Long
Yes Mat! Yes! Yes! Yeeees!
I love them both! But I feel ya Chels! 🫠
Agreed!!!!!! Vessel's is too muddled and yes Vessel is trying to give a dark smokey tone

Will is a god tier artist. Full fucking stop
WILL is the GOAT !!!!!!!! FOR SURE😊
Will is going to make Mat and Chels have to do The Ice Bucket Challenge to cool off
😂
So far every reaction to this I've seen has gone like this:
Guys: "Man, Will is so talented."
Girls: [ V I S I B L Y A R O U S E D ]
I cant say who did it better... both are insane
Agreed Mat
Now let’s see vessel cover a Lorna shore song and go full circle lol
I agree with Mat
Wills version is the best!!
Nailed comment killed me haha
Awesome reaction, dudes.
I would like to see a reaction to «Atimia - Inferno»
I agree with Matt, here’s my take Will’s clean vocals are very, very good “almost” equal to Vessel however Will’s harsh vocals at 50% are superior to Vessels.

Hey Linkin park!!! The voice u been looking for we found him !!
I think he does it more to put a little bit more emotion in it feeling
Got to agree with Mat here, when I added chokehold to my playlist I went with Will’s cover over the original, just seems better to me nothing against vessel, but Will is just unbelievable !!! Keep up the good work you 2!! Love your content!
I prefer this cover ten times better

Is it just me,or are Chels and Will rocking the same hair color??
Will is waay more dynamic than Vessel. To think that Will in addition have asthma is mind blowing. I totally agree what Mat says about Vessel, he is sooo dramatic it's cringe
Hey mat and chels great reaction I can't wait till you guys do alexs terrible reaction to the song alekino from the video game atomic heart it's on the games sound track
you guys gatta check out To The Graves new record " Directors Cut", its so fucking good
Love that album!
i agree with mat will did this song so much better than vessel
Chels and Silent Matt reviews
🤣
Your hot take is def mine too
I agree with Mat. For this song, Will just did it better in my opinion
I respect and appreciate the opinion of every listener, but for me personally, Mr. Ramos sang a cover of Slеер Tokel's songs twice better than the original
110% fact that Will Ramos can make women cream with a look and make straight men gay with that voice
I agree. This version is better imo
I like Will’s covers over both originals, but hey, that’s just for me.
Hey guys. I really like your reactions. But i got a request: pls react to fist of stalin. It's a song from monolith deathcult. Insane song
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Will’s singing is also more enunciated I feel like. Vessel is amazing but he sounds like he has peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth most of the time. Lol
will is vessel
😂😂
I love this cover! Not a fan of the original vocals.
The original vocals sound sexy to you? 😮 I don't feel that - at all😅
I completely agree with you. I'm not sure why but I cannot get into the vocals from Vessel. Not saying Sleep Token isn't incredibly talented but I cannot help but prefer Wills vocals. I would probably be into Sleep Token way more if Will was the lead.
bethannie’s (thas me) hot take is the same as matt’s 😂 i prefer will’s version 100%
I love this but Vessel just has this crazy assed sultry vibe Will can't pull off tbh
Not really a fan of Lorna Shore I cant really listen to more than a song of theirs at a time and sometimes not even one song because it becomes to Samey. But this was pretty good.
Will is 2/2 on having better covers than the original.
Agree with Vessel's annoying vibrato....
I like sleep token as makers of music but vessels little vocalisations are annoying as fuck .Sleep token makes good music but will ramos makes good music into great music.
Agreed. Will’s version is way better.

I think he should work harder on Lorna Shore
Mat, you "nailed" it! This song needed Will
I just dont like sleep token at all. I absolutely dont feel it, when will does it their songs are finished.
Everyone of Will’s covers of Sleep Token is better than Sleep Token, as they are highly overrated, including Vessels’ vocals.
Wrong
