Yeah if that talent is making music that sounds big and grandoise, without having any real depth. Their songs are a mish-mash of different genres, without being good at any of them. It's boring, uninspired, annoying, and lyrics might as well be A.I generated. The song 'Granite' sounds like the worst, most tasteless pop song from a decade ago, pretending to be metal.
*shocked * "I'm scared but I'm feeling comfortable" *Vibing* "that's scary as hell but i love it" *vibes again* I guess we've all went through this stages, while discovering sleep token 😂
the look on your face when vessel's voice comes in is my fav part of watching ppl react to alkaline as their first sleep token song. you see this scary masked man in a chair surrounded by dead bodies and then An angel is suddenly serenading/seducing you
My husband is always apprehensive when I suggest bands or songs to him because he's older and prefers classic rock and I'm a death metal/core lady. I hijacked the car radio and made him listen to this song and The Summoning and he was like "I'm so sorry, I was wrong, this is awesome." I sat the rest of the car ride being all smug lmao
I'm trying to convert one of my best mates but she's very resistant to my attempts. I want to tell her to just give in and let Vessel take over her ears like he did with me...
I recommend not listening to their "big hits" at first. Go through the smaller ones, the build they go through in each song, the messages. It's so worth it.
Euclid, The Summoning, Take Me Back To Eden, Chokehold, DYWTYLM, Granite, Vore, Ascensionism, Are You Really Okay?, Hynosis, The Offering, Aqua Regia, The Apparition, Rain…all so unique in their own right-they literally have a jam for every mood.
Sleep Token is that band that ANYONE can fall in love with. Vessel's voice damn near appeals to everyone. Wait until you hear their new Album Take me back to Eden. Definitely best album of 2023 and most rock charts agree.
The drummers an absolute unit. He did a 50 minute playing sesh/interview with Drumeo a couple of weeks ago you should really check out. My top 3's gotta be Alkaline, Hypnosis and Jaws. Cheers bud
"I'm scared but I feel comfortable" 100% accurate for all sleep token songs. Iv never seen their faces but would 100% let them hold my drink on a night out 😂
Ah yes, the Sleep Token Rabbit Hole. I highly recommend their Song Chokehold AND right after that, you should give Will Ramos' Cover of said Song a shot. It shows a complete different level of Wills Voice. I almost enjoy Wills Version more than the original and I really love Sleep Token
"Alkaline" was my intro to Sleep Token, and I was instantly hooked. They're so much more versatile than this, so there are a ton of other great videos to check out.
Glad you're giving Sleep Token a try! Heavy metal subgenres can be tough to nail down. It's hard to explain Sleep Token to new listeners because they go all over the genres of music from hip hop/r&b, blues, and progressive rock and it all depends on which songs you pick next. Other reactors like Nik Nokturnal call them ambient metal or "baddie-core". Their new album Take Me Back to Eden has a little bit of everything but Blood Sport (from the room below) is my personal favorite because it is just so emotionally raw. Cheers!
I’ve enjoyed watching your reactions to Sleep Token. They really are in a genre of their own. I had similar reactions when I first heard them. Can’t describe it and can’t get enough of it.
I said the same thing when I heard them the first time, he has the best voice I've ever heard (my opinion, not a fact, chill out lmao). Listening to more I noticed the intricacy of the drums, then I actually listened to the lyrics and they became my favorite of all time.
Here comes the Sleep Walkers. You asked what genre they are? Their genre is Sleep Token. They dont sound like anyone else and no one else comes close. Every song in their discography is different to boot. They have just over 30 songs and literally dont have a single one thats bad. All are playlist material. Additionally the lore behind the band is SOOOO good! Just do yourself a favor and start with their first album Sundowning and with their first song The Night Does Not Belong to God. Then keep going all the way thru the entire album and make sure you record it all. We Worshipers cant go back and experience the extasy of hearing their music for the first time ever again so we now watch others do what we long for. This WILL be your new all time favorite band when you are done going down this rabbit hole. We will be here with you through the whole journey to watch your eyes be opened for the first time.
Or even begin with One and Two, their EPs. They're a good starting point and a chance to hear Vessel when he was a bit younger. Still as fab as their later music too.
Sleep Token is classified as metal, but they’re not strictly metal🖤 all of their songs are beautiful and unique, and many of them genre blend seamlessly!
Put it like this. I found out about them in January of last year…..and have barely listened to anyone else since then. They are PHENOMENAL. There are heavy songs, light songs, some R&B sounds….they have every genre. Welcome to your newest obsession. The rabbit hole is fun and deep, and worth EVERY second.
Welcome brother! I’m a 53 year old man in Oklahoma brought up on Slayer and Slipknot… And I love Sleep Token! The whole album Take me back to Eden is incredible! Also listen to Sugar! Mad love from Oklahoma!
Sleep Token's been around for a while, but their newest album (Take Me Back to Eden) sorta broke the Metal/alt-rock internet in the last 12 months. I ended up getting a lyric tattooed. They're amazing, creative, dynamic, and Vessel's vocals are un-fucking-real. Can't wait for you to react to more of their stuff!
INSTANT SUB, WELCOME! 😂🖤🙏🏻 ASCENSIONISM NEXT. Arguably the best song ever written. Sleep Token are genre fluid. 😅 They incorporate all different genres and sounds into their music, and they don't know how to write a bad song. They are truly so special, I'm excited to watch you fall in love like the rest of us have! 🫶🏻
Instant subscribe! I'm excited to see you go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole. I'd say start from their first album, 'Sundowning' and work chronologically. Usually fans would recommend 'The Summoning' next - although I'm going to suggest 'Dark Signs' because it's one of my favourites & I'd love to see you react to it.
So you hit my FYP on I had to come and see your first reaction video on Sleep Token. I absolutely love seeing new reactions to metal with melody. I love the vibes they bring
Watching your reaction to this song/video has been an absolute joy and yes, Sleep Token definitely *ARE* 38 different genres! They're impossible to define but they're so bloody brilliant at what they do! WORSHIP
U r gonna absolutely love SLEEP TOKEN. Can't wait for next reaction. I would start by reacting to the TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN album n start with the first song and proceed thru the album.❤❤❤❤
The lead singer has pretty much said to not get wrapped up in genre labels, as they're reductive to the music. So just enjoy them as they are, and whatever they throw at you
I’m sure “The Summoning” has been requested multiple times in your comment section. Listen to me when I tell you it will show you the absolute raw skill of this band !
Sleep Token is what you get when kids grow up listening to Ghost and believe that is what heavy music is supposed to be. A bit like October Ends, their new song is funny you should check it out
Thanks!
So kind! Thank you so much for the super thanks
Welcome to Sleep Token. Enjoy the journey. They have no genre. Just an incredible band with incredible talent.
They are defiantly metal. Just listen to gods from sundowning. They're definitely metal. But fr they baddiecore.
What genre is Sleep Token? Yes.
Yeah if that talent is making music that sounds big and grandoise, without having any real depth. Their songs are a mish-mash of different genres, without being good at any of them. It's boring, uninspired, annoying, and lyrics might as well be A.I generated.

@@stormrevenant Obvious troll is obvious.
@@LiteralGray My comment is the exact opposite from a troll comment, I said what I didn't like and described why I didn't like it.
"I'm scared but I feel comfortable" best description ever
Ain’t no way RykerRoad commented!! That’s crazy!! Love RykerRoad.
its the boooys!!!!
this killed me😹😹😹
*shocked *
"I'm scared but I'm feeling comfortable"
*Vibing*
"that's scary as hell but i love it"
*vibes again*
I guess we've all went through this stages, while discovering sleep token 😂
I have never gone down the rabbit hole of a band so hard and so fast as Sleep Token. The obsession is real dude.
Same, the last band to throw me this hard was BROCKHAMPTON
Yes it is. Happened to me too.
I started about a month ago, and I can't listen to anything else right now. True Worship at this point
The Sleep Token rabbit hole goes DEEP.
the look on your face when vessel's voice comes in is my fav part of watching ppl react to alkaline as their first sleep token song. you see this scary masked man in a chair surrounded by dead bodies and then An angel is suddenly serenading/seducing you
All us ST fans just love watching people react to ST songs for the first time 😂
It’s become a favorite pastime now😂
I thought it was just me! It’s my favorite hobby besides worshipping Sleep Token 🖤🩶🫶🏼
Vessels voice is ethereal. Like a soul speaking directly to another soul
My husband is always apprehensive when I suggest bands or songs to him because he's older and prefers classic rock and I'm a death metal/core lady. I hijacked the car radio and made him listen to this song and The Summoning and he was like "I'm so sorry, I was wrong, this is awesome." I sat the rest of the car ride being all smug lmao
I'm trying to convert one of my best mates but she's very resistant to my attempts. I want to tell her to just give in and let Vessel take over her ears like he did with me...
I recommend not listening to their "big hits" at first. Go through the smaller ones, the build they go through in each song, the messages. It's so worth it.
Rain is a spiritual experience it's my favorite it evoke something deep deep in my soul
And such a beautifully-feeling track, especially with the sounds of the rain right at the very end..
"I was waiting for screams" Have fun with the ride, bro!
"I'm scared but I feel comfortable" Is probably my favorite thing a new rock/metal listener has ever said lol
Vessel got pipes bro. Love his voice.
Ascensionism, apparition, rain, take me to Eden. So many banger songs.
Euclid, The Summoning, Take Me Back To Eden, Chokehold, DYWTYLM, Granite, Vore, Ascensionism, Are You Really Okay?, Hynosis, The Offering, Aqua Regia, The Apparition, Rain…all so unique in their own right-they literally have a jam for every mood.
All of those and more
I’ve been stuck on Ascensionism and Euclid for daaaaays now bro
This is a great list to start with. You'll get to hear a few of their best songs, but a great example of the range they have. Truly no genre
This is a great list to start with. You'll get to hear a few of their best songs, but a great example of the range they have. Truly no genre
Everyone keeps saying "their 1st album Sundowning" but you can't forget they started with 2 EP's "One" and "Two" that are both PHENOMENAL!!
"I'm scared but I feel comfortable." Welcome to ST :D
Sleep Token is that band that ANYONE can fall in love with. Vessel's voice damn near appeals to everyone. Wait until you hear their new Album Take me back to Eden. Definitely best album of 2023 and most rock charts agree.
"and most rock charts agree"
Do they? Last I checked, I couldn't find them in any charts, and was disappointed lol
@@janawham3296 I can't remember which magazine, but they said it was the album of the year. I'll see if I can find it.
Revolver - Artist of the Year and well deserved.
Haven’t listened to any other band for five months 🤣
I'm only on month one, but I can't listen to anything else...I've tried 😂
“That’s scary as hell but I love it”
Exactly how I’d describe Sleep Token
The drummers an absolute unit. He did a 50 minute playing sesh/interview with Drumeo a couple of weeks ago you should really check out. My top 3's gotta be Alkaline, Hypnosis and Jaws. Cheers bud
Omg yes! II hooked me with that drumroll offering. Amazing talent - songwriting credits to him too. I'm enchanted - totally.
the song that broke me into the band. and then a month later take me back to eden released. best band ever 🥰
"I'm scared but I feel comfortable" 100% accurate for all sleep token songs. Iv never seen their faces but would 100% let them hold my drink on a night out 😂
_The Worshipers have been Summoned._
*All hail Vessel, II, III, & IV!* 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Sleep Token has no genre barriers. You feel Sleep Token and Vessel, you don't just listen.
My man, you're on the Sleep Token Train and boy it'll be a Journey!
Ah yes, the Sleep Token Rabbit Hole. I highly recommend their Song Chokehold AND right after that, you should give Will Ramos' Cover of said Song a shot. It shows a complete different level of Wills Voice. I almost enjoy Wills Version more than the original and I really love Sleep Token
Thank you, I hadn't heard that yet and it's amazing. I don't think I've ever heard Will sing clean vocals before and it's fantastic!
Nah, just listen to more Sleep Token.
Welcome to the sleep token family. ❤
"Alkaline" was my intro to Sleep Token, and I was instantly hooked. They're so much more versatile than this, so there are a ton of other great videos to check out.
"I'm scared but I'm comfortable. What the hell?" had me rolling
I love this song. These guys have to be one of the most musically diverse and creative bands I’ve ever heard.
Glad you're giving Sleep Token a try! Heavy metal subgenres can be tough to nail down.

The crying at the end of Blood Sport makes me want to cry too. 😭 Just like at the end of Suicide by Ren.
I like the from the room below version of bloodsport, but the album version from sundowning is fire as well.

Tip of the iceberg. This band is amazing. One of the best. Check out The Summoning.
Sleep Token is classified as metal, but they’re not strictly metal🖤 all of their songs are beautiful and unique, and many of them genre blend seamlessly!
The closest genre you could describe them as is metalcore, but they break genre as often as they breathe 😂
@@JesusFriedChrist very true, and can we please just take a moment of appreciate for your @ name!?😭🤣🫶🏼
This is my favorite active band. Incredible stuff.
Bro said this is the best voice and you’re correct please do more of them
Put it like this. I found out about them in January of last year…..and have barely listened to anyone else since then. They are PHENOMENAL.

Hi from another Oklahoman metal fan! I love seeing the older generations enjoying our generations music instead of hating on it!
Sleep Token is my favorite band of all time hands down, do not be afraid, Vessel will lead you on a journey, let his music lead you into worship!
Little did he know, this would start his Sleep Token obsession!
Sleep Token...one of a kind!❤ 🖤
"I'm scared but I'm comfortable" XD Dude had me rolling. Welcome to Sleep Token ;)

Sleep Token is an amazing band with so many different genres built within their music. Id highly recommend Granite, along with Take Me Back To Eden
2:08 clutching your pearls is so real💀 this song is gorgeous
1:25 it’s too late for you now, you are altered 😂

WORSHIP
It's a running joke that Sleep Token is baby making metal because of how beautiful their music is 😅 and honestly, people aren't wrong!
I feel like you can't explore them without the song that went viral, Summoning. It's such a wild mix of genres and oddly sexy.
Seraphim - Singularity.... Amazing band.
I can’t recommend Acensionism enough, hands down my favorite song by them
U r gonna absolutely love SLEEP TOKEN. Can't wait for next reaction. I would start by reacting to the TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN album n start with the first song and proceed thru the album.❤❤❤❤
The lead singer has pretty much said to not get wrapped up in genre labels, as they're reductive to the music. So just enjoy them as they are, and whatever they throw at you
Their best song IMO is Take Me Back to Eden. I’m not exaggerating when I say this, it might be the best song written in the past decade…if not longer.
Congratulations on unlocking Sleep Token. Please enjoy your stay.
Like falling in reverse, sleep token is it own genre
Welcome to the rabbit hole! It will not be what you expect. Worship! ❤
Welcome to the ride. Worship!
I'm here for this rabbit hole plunge
Sleep Token fucks ong. The Summoning, Take Me Back To Eden, and Ascensionism are solid songs
Yes! Yes!! Sleep Token is the best. No doubt.
Not me saying “don’t be scared👹” 🤣
welcome to sleep token!! they are in my top 3 EASILY. even better live!! sugar, tmbte, granite, rain!!!!
The genre is Sleep Token. Sleep Token reactions ✔️ subscribed ✔️. Let’s do this, won’t regret it!
i truly wish i could listen to sleep token for the first time again. START FROM THE BEGINNING. COVER THE WHOLE BACKLIST.
I’m sure “The Summoning” has been requested multiple times in your comment section. Listen to me when I tell you it will show you the absolute raw skill of this band !
Sleep Token is what you get when kids grow up listening to Ghost and believe that is what heavy music is supposed to be. A bit like October Ends, their new song is funny you should check it out
That creature is Vessel and that's Vessel singing. You should check out some live clips. Sounds even better live
You’re going to lose your mind with Sleep Token!!! The Summoning, Granite, etc
Seriously, you have to listen to their discography from start to finish
I recommend listening to their newest album in full start to finish by track listing.
Welcome to the family! #Worship
Haha! Welcome to Sleep Token. Enjoy the ride. ❤
Bro if you don't go down this rabbit hole then you're not doing this band or yourself or this band justice. Real shit
Worship

Take me back to Eden and The Summoning is top shelf whiskey
Drummer goin crazy
Their music is ''genreless''. It's an act. Their concerts- rituals. Worship
Lets goo sleep token!
Welcome to the family. #Worship 🙌
Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friend
Take me to Eden is one of their best songs along with aqua regea
Now do The Summoning and Take Me Back to Eden! WORSHIP!!

Can't even pick a song! Just go into Take Me Back To Eden from beginning to finish. It'll tear you apart and reassemble you just as quickly.
You love this. I love this. Everyone loves this.
Worship 🙏🏻
The best band period! insanely good musicians
Wait until you hear the song take me back to Eden, I'd doesn't rock your socks, it blows them off your feet
