Alkaline is such a killer song but it doesn’t even begin to show the vocal range Vessel is capable of. In the entirety of Sleep Token’s catalog, this is probably his most restrained vocal approach and I think it’s by design because my theory is this song is intended to show off the abilities of their god-tier drummer. Oh, and the guy in the mask in the video is Vessel, the lead singer, btw. If you want to jump into more, Chokehold and Granite are really good followups to this one, but you’ll definitely want to check out The Summoning, too. Worship.
I didn’t realize how at the end of alkaline how the song just sounds like a metronome or a clock ticking the entire time. Really cool music they create!
Sleep Token is a special band. Vessel's voice is unreal and soul piercing. The Summoning, Granite, The love you want, Bloodsport,and Chokehold. Worship.💙
you're in for a HUGE treat with this band! My recs (that haven't already been mentioned in the comments here): - Atlantic - The Love You Want - Fall For Me - High Water - Dark Signs - Sugar Also the band is "an anonymous, masked collective of musicians" like Ghost used to be, but in service of an ancient deity named Sleep. It's actually a super cool concept that's definitely help by how wickedly talented this group is.
You got to see Vessel the vocalist (songwriter and exceptional pianist, as well as doing the guitar and bass work for the recorded music), as he actually looks within the band. Identities are hidden. It really adds to the whole mystique of the band. I don’t know if anyone has recommended Higher yet, but that’s also a good one showing some of the range. Nice reaction 😊
One of the reasons Sleep Token hits people so deep is how *personal* and raw Vessel's voice and lyrics are. He needs the mask and pseudo-anonymity to be this vulnerable publicly.
Sleep token is such a versatile band, their song the summoning demonstrates that really well. Their singer vessel can do stripped back just him and a piano singing with pure emotion, I always recommend people check out blood sport (from the room below) to see that. There’s just too many good tracks to recommend from them. Worship.
Alkaline now that's a pretty cool name for a band & its my first time listening to this band I'm really impressed i loved the track also very catchy indeed.
Your face looking mesmerized was classic. I had the same look when I first heard Sleep Token. BTW no one knows who sleep token is per say. Listen to chokehold and the summoning from sleep token
If you want more of just his vocals please watch bloodsport (from the room below version) this is just Vessel (the singer) playing a piano with nothing else. It's a very cool video with very stripped back production and tortured vocals!!! Worship
Yo!! 👋🏼 🤩 I do actually have a suggestion, it’s my best friend’s band, he’s the guitar player and they’re an Irish prog metal group called The Enigma Division. They’re doing some really interesting synth work mixed with pretty savage riffs and soaring vocals (actually very minimal, sparing screams, which is refreshing! 👌🏼), more groove than a scientist’s brain hahaha, some amazing guest features on their debut album 🥵 The song’s called ‘Echoes in the Deep’. If you like stuff like sleep token with these atmospheres and chuggy/choppy riffs, layered vocals etc, perhaps a bit of a longer song form… It would be super cool to see your reaction 🤩👌🏼✨ P.s. if you made it this far, you’re awesome 🎉🫂
What exactly is a "sueong"? Sounds vaguely Korean when I type it out, but I can't place your accent at all. Never heard anyone say that word that way. :) Also, everyone I have ever seen react to this video gets way too caught up in the video aspects, and doesn't actually listen to the song itself with any focus. I suspect this is why Sleep Token went to visualizer style videos for their latest album.
@@SlayWithBrandy Really? I'm from PA and have been up to New York a ton and never heard anyone with a similar accent. Not trying to judge or anything, your accent just sounds unique to me.

It's the fish hook that pulls you in forever.

It seriously is!! And thank you!
You're welcome.
IMO, you should do The Love You Want next before you get into the newer stuff.
@primemover636 yes their old stuff is so good. I really love jaws and mine as well as the offering!!!
you're in for a HUGE treat with this band!

The Summoning and The Offering show off his vocals. They are amazing

Definitely check out Granite and The Summoning. Very vibey stuff!

Reaction for this coming soon! Just checked the summoning out and 😍😍😍
The best part is her saying “I’d love to see what the band looks like” not knowing she just saw what Vessel looks like 😂
LOL I DIDNT KNOOOOWWW
@@SlayWithBrandy don’t worry that was my reaction the first time I saw them a couple years ago.
Higher, Dark Signs, Give. Worship.
My brother: " are they metal "?
Me: they're Sleep Token.
LOL
Fantastic group!
Indeed!
Alkaline now that's a pretty cool name for a band & its my first time listening to this band I'm really impressed i loved the track also very catchy indeed.
The song is called alkaline! The band is sleep token!
@@SlayWithBrandy Thanks brandy my mistake 👍
I think there is a band called Alkaline i must've gotten mistaken between the two.
You gotta do their song The Summoning
Noone can put a finger on why they love Vessel's voice....Aqua is melting
Also they are better blind with no vids
I love this tune :) 100% pure sleep token vibes :)
Happy to hear that!
Your face looking mesmerized was classic. I had the same look when I first heard Sleep Token. BTW no one knows who sleep token is per say. Listen to chokehold and the summoning from sleep token
I loved this and i was so mesmerized for sure!
Worship
Welcome to the fold.
Worship!
🙌🙌
This video was like an action movie
RIGHT?
WORSHIP✋✋✋✋

Worship

@SlayWithBrandy 🥳 whoo hoo sweeeet. Look forward too it!!!
"I would love to see what the band looks like."
Who's going to tell her??
Nice reaction! The Summoning,one of their new singles,it's amazing. Check it out 😉
Added!
"I'd love to see the band in here at some point"
...as you're looking at the lead singer 😂 only Sleep Token!
I didnt realize as it was my first introduction!
@@SlayWithBrandy lol no sweat just pointing out the joke.

Blood sport by sleep token is good
🙌🙌
Their new stuff is awesome but I would suggest their older songs “jaws”, “the love you want”, and “ fall for me” first.
This was a great reaction!PLEASE react to The Summoning by Sleep token.
ITS COMING THIS UP SOON!
@@SlayWithBrandy I can't wait 😀
The Summoning is for you
Video for this coming soon!
The Summoning and The Offering are definitely two of the best songs by this band, especially in terms of vocal performance
Bloodsport from the room below
Please next react should be Chockehold and The Summoning🥺 Worship
The summoning coming up next! :)
