The first time I heard Alkaline, I had the same desire for more. The song does go verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, chorus but the chorus is so long that it does take up a lot of real estate. Still, even after hundreds of spins, it hasn’t gotten old to me so keep hope alive. With Vore and the newer tracks, each song is represented by one of these characters and I’m pretty sure each has a story, with some being more clear than others. So, Vore is a fetish that involves the fantasy of eating someone whole or being eaten whole. It’s out there, but hey, no kink-shaming here. The character in Vore is part praying mantis, which is a species well-known for engaging in vore as the females consume the males during, well, coitus. The lyrics carry on the same subject matter, but the way I interpret them is less literal and much more metaphorical as “let’s get swallowed whole” could be an analogy for falling in love or giving yourself to another. It’s just one example of how much lore there is in everything this band does. Vessel hasn’t written one single throwaway line throughout their catalog. Every word in every song has a meaning and works to weave together another chapter in their story. It’s pretty great. I highly recommend Hypnosis or The Offering to pair with Chokehold. Oh, and I’m subbing. Let’s get you to 500. Worship.
Great Comment! No kink shaming here lmao Its so cool that the "monsters" have lore behind it, I love that kinda thing! Can't wait for more sleep token and I will add those songs to the list! Thanks for the Support, 1 sub closer to 500!
Sleep Token is something different entirely, bro! Chokehold is phenomenal, but not as heavy. I'd recommend giving Hypnosis and The Offering a listen as well. 14:00 I think it's a thing. Sleep Token has a bit of lore behind them, but they're pretty mysterious so most of the "story" only comes out in their music. Long story short: Sleep Token is an entirely masked band. The lead singer is Vessel (who was the masked figure in the Alkaline music video) and they worship an ancient entity known as Sleep. The songs they make are "tokens" or "offerings" in the name of Sleep.
@@DaddyGoose_CB a working theory o have as well, is that these new songs (chokehold, the summoning, granite, aqua regia and vore) are all about the monsters depicted in the videos, or their story, something like that. Perhaps other gods like sleep or maybe other vessels of sleep, before the one we now know
"It's just...EVERYTHING!" Well...yes, yes it is isn't it. I look forward to seeing what you think of other good things, nice video. Also you and I wear our face the same style, nicely kept and trimmed sir.
I'm so excited for more sleep token! I think I'm most excited for them when it's sleep token time again! Shoutout to the same face haha Thanks for the Support and checking out the Channel!
Each song off the new album has a creature or monster attached to it and sleep token has a whole lore that goes with them. Insane shit. Check out atlantic, hypnosis, the offering, higher, telomeres, and granite. They r genre fluid so u wont always get heavy songs but their whole discography is amazing. They are the best kept secret in music today imo and not nearly as well known as they should be. Seeing them live again in sept and they are possibly even better live. The singer is vessel he also plays all the piano, the rest of the band members r called II, III, and IV
I love the fact that theres lore, that's so cool! Also love those band members names! Jealous you get to see them live, hope its a blast! Thanks for the Support and great comment!
Vore is my favorite Sleep Token song, it's just so heavy but airy, angsty but also emotional. I love how the two types of vocals blend into one another and fit the storytelling of the lyrics and the instrumental is a fricking masterpiece. You will love The Offering and Higher by them. One sub closer to 500 :)
I’m new to ST too. I’ve heard of them but just recently checked them out and WOW! They are really different and I like it! I’m on the ST journey with ya! LET’S DO THIS 👊🏽
Aye! I also reacted to The Summoning by them if you wanted to check out another one by them! I'm excited for this journey, glad to have you along for the ride!
Pausing really does help with copyrights unfortunately, wish I didn't have to pause as much! But also sometimes if I think of something I want to say I can't focus on the song aswell haha Thanks for the Support, hope you enjoyed the ep!
subbed for sleep token. they are so diverse, no expectations is the way to go for sure. im a recent convert myself, as a metalhead, love your reactions. you seem super genuine and legit trying to find good tunes. keep it up!
Aye! I have a playlist on my Channel of me Playing Overwatch with messed up rules and controls (on P.C) if your interested! Thanks for the Support and great comment!
Also! The figures. I read someone else saying they’re bosses from a video game?? I could be totally mistaken or have mis-read it. Take Me Back To Eden figure reminds me a lot of Eve from the Garden of Eden. She’s got an apple in her hand!
Aqua Regia, Ascensionism and Hypnosis are songs that I knew I liked but the lyrics hooked into me the second times I heard them and listened to the lyrics!
@DaddyGoose_CB thanks for your videos. Minor suggestion, you need to just sit there and listen. If you keep pausing it (like in the case of these songs), the effect of the musical arrangement is lost, and you won't be able to truly enjoy the songs. This is especially true in regards to Sleep Token's music. It will only further enrich your experience. Just a suggestion.
@@musicjonna I'd love to but pausing does help with copyrights, and sometimes if I have something I want to point out, I can't hear the song anymore cause I wanna say something haha but ill try to remember to start rewinding a bit after a pause! P.s both songs did make it to the iPod so I have heard these songs alot now haha
Good morning once again...Alright now this is more my style..That drum groove and those patterns in that first song was amazing and the second song just kicks arse from first note to last..Now I'm ready to add ST to my Spotify and dig in..I'm glad I kept giving this band a chance 🧐🤘✌️
Vore is insane! Love the course, love the riff, love the voice haha great song all around! Alkaline is also just so chill and catchy! Shoutout for giving them so many chances!
My friend has a band called Give Me Oblivion, and they just released their first song called Doomsday and i would love to hear and see your reaction and feedback!!
Just popping in to say BOTH of these songs are now iPod OFFICAL! Big Thankyou to the massive Support on the Video!
👍✌️🤘🧐
Sleep Token in a league of their own man.
I agree 100%, Thankyou for the Support!

@@kuranhelix278 Thats a sick theory! I'm excited to see the other monsters in future song reactions! Thanks for the Support!
Lyrics in this song remind me of the tv show YELLOWJACKETS.
Never heard of it, but im intrigued now haha Thanks for the Support!

Listen to Nazareth and then Jaws back to back! They go together (and are my favorites by them if that counts for something)
I'll add them to the list! Maybe I'll add a note or something so I can listen to them back to back! Thanks for the Support!
Vore is my favorite Sleep Token song, it's just so heavy but airy, angsty but also emotional. I love how the two types of vocals blend into one another and fit the storytelling of the lyrics and the instrumental is a fricking masterpiece.
You will love The Offering and Higher by them. One sub closer to 500 :)
Vore is so good! It really does just have everything in it! I will put those suggestions on the list aswell! Thankyou for the Support!
Two songs I recommend from sleep token are Blood Sport (from the room below) and Granite.
This band is truly something else
Ill add them to the list, more sleep token the better! Haha, Thanks for the Support! And this band really is something else!
I’m new to ST too. I’ve heard of them but just recently checked them out and WOW! They are really different and I like it!

"I don't know what the title means, but it sounds cool." You are better off not knowing.
The comment section told me... haha Thanks for the Support and checking out the Channel!
ST is beyond special for me. I can compare it a little bit only with discovering Pink Floyed 20 years ago.
ST really is unique and special for sure! I hope they become more popular! Thanks for the Support!
Maybe didn’t pause so much and let it played through
Pausing really does help with copyrights unfortunately, wish I didn't have to pause as much! But also sometimes if I think of something I want to say I can't focus on the song aswell haha Thanks for the Support, hope you enjoyed the ep!
10:02
Seriously what I heard.
"God! Why's it over already? Gimme Vore!"
It does kinda sound like that haha but it was give me more haha Worst case scenario we got Vore anyway haha Thanks for the Support!
Don't bother rating Sleep Token songs, they are all godly...
That's a valid point haha Thanks for the Support!
subbed for sleep token. they are so diverse, no expectations is the way to go for sure. im a recent convert myself, as a metalhead, love your reactions. you seem super genuine and legit trying to find good tunes.
keep it up!
Aye! Thankyou! Without the series I may never have found sleep token! Love finding new things from the comment section! Thanks again!
This guy seems cool as fuck. Definitely going to check out more. If he's s PC gamer I'd be interested to see what he plays.
Aye! I have a playlist on my Channel of me Playing Overwatch with messed up rules and controls (on P.C) if your interested! Thanks for the Support and great comment!
Hypnosis and jaws by sleep token
I'll add them to the list! Thanks for the Support!
yay he's doing my suggestions! 😊😊😊
They were so good thankyou for the suggestions and support!
What a lovely worship, my friend.
Aye! Thankyou so much for the Support my friend!
Also! The figures. I read someone else saying they’re bosses from a video game?? I could be totally mistaken or have mis-read it. Take Me Back To Eden figure reminds me a lot of Eve from the Garden of Eden. She’s got an apple in her hand!
Either way the figures are sooo cool! Also thats a nice touch with the apple! Thanks again for the comments!
Houndoom looking like a G today 😎😎😎
Aye! Mega houndoom always lookin like a G haha Thanks for the Support!
That’s how I felt the first time hearing Alkaline too! What?! It can’t be over already!!!
So short but soo good! Thanks for the Support as always!
Aqua Regia, Ascensionism and Hypnosis are songs that I knew I liked but the lyrics hooked into me the second times I heard them and listened to the lyrics!
Ascensionism is dam near the perfect song, 98.5 haha Cant wait to hear the others! Thanks for the Support!
his reaction to Vessel's voice 😂😂😂😂 priceless.
Haha hope you enjoyed the ep! Thanks for the Support and comments!
