Theatre Kid Reacts to Sleep Token: Alkaline (First Time Reaction)

[@sh4dm0]

Their drummer is always on god mode. Master of ghost notes.

[@quadplyr13]

Yes. He needs do a tutorial on Gospel chops youtube. Dude is a unit on the drums. A current student of the game ,and future legend. Soooo a agreed!

[@inceptionsd]

You can even tell that he's holding it back.

[@ChrisBtw]

What is a ghost note??

[@ruby6145]

@@ChrisBtw the opposite of a regular note basically quieter then normal notes which makes songs sound better instead of playing fully out

[@jessicar5748]

Love Sleep Token. They have a very diverse catalogue. Their new album is absolute perfection 😍

[@topshelfgaming9093]

100% agree with this! totally fallen in love with this band!

[@gumbojones9943]

The track blood sport from the room below set by sleep token is just amazing, puts vassals vocals front & centre

[@paul8129]

Yes react to this one! 🌟

[@F13thvoorhees]

Agreed

[@bobarcher5837]

I find it really irritating that everyone reacts to that one, I prefer the original version and its annoying that everyone posting reactions just completely ignores it

[@halefireproductions1175]

100% react to blood sport

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Yes that is absolutely beautiful!! Also the album is intense! That one DOES make me tear up vessel gets me every time at the end

[@OliveWhisperingEye]

I like how that a new generation of listeners are finally realizing heavier bands are legit musicians and deserve the attention these guys are receiving. Just think of all the other artists you’ve missed that have been doing this same thing for years and years.

[@testingmyaudioaddiction3452]

Nik is basically becoming The Godfather of metal.

[@CharisSellick]

His content is everywhere!!

[@theraildynasty_]

Nik who?

[@icestorm_rb9057]

Sleep Token is just an amazing band altogether! And yes, I will be that guy who says everything that theyve ever made is a masterpiece from their One EP, all the way to This Place Will Become Your Tomb. Great stuff! Worship.

[@ZRisyad]

Vessel has a very different, unique, yet soothing voice in the genre. Not only his voice, but instrumental wise also somewhat different in metal community. Love em

[@nikolai6361]

Sleep Token is one of my favorite bands! Great video! Highly recommend Atlantic, The Love You Want, The Night Does Not Belong To God

[@TTSupraKidd]

Definitely recommend Blood Sport from the room below. Super emotional and raw performance

[@ashleybooker4420]

Listen to more, don't care which one, they're all great

[@crabuki1273]

"This was a welcome step up in class," he said open-mindedly. I feel like the percussion in this band's music really stands out. I totally get this song. Sometimes you're just in a comfy chair, it's been a long day, and someone's at the door but you just can't be bothered. And then they COME IN ANYWAY. Just... rude. Got what they deserved, I'd say. Per masks, I mean, gimmicks are fine as long as the musical quality is there, and it's here. Oh, a space pants sighting! This video had everything!

[@Badzad31]

Imo, genres don't exist like any classification doesn't exist. I think they have a function, but shouldn't be taken as a rigid set of requirements. Most of my favorite groups fall into that "genres don't exist" category, so I see what you're getting at there.

[@hamzazulfi]

You should checkout Hypnosis from the same album. It has a different vibe.

[@theblueneko677]

Im usually into heavy stuff but this guys voice is beyond beautiful.

[@CharisSellick]

Agreed

[@michirista]

Sleep Token Bloodsport from the room below is epic if you're into powerful voice 🖤

[@owenbenjamin6413]

You should react to the love you want next, the video is SUPER theatrical!

[@hugobrannlund4518]

Just do blood sport from the room below, just do it. I don’t need to explain why, you’ll umderstand why after you whatched it!

[@Widetrackband]

Absolutely 🔥

[@bassimprovjams3772]

This is my favorite video ever!! I absolutely love how vessel is brewing up all this Chi energy and completely wrecks these guys in his throne!!!

[@Koriko1988]

Check out the song Jaws. I totally see what you mean on how you described Alkaline. Jaws has more variety. Great song and really shows off Vessels vocals. After that Calcutta is awesome

[@Widetrackband]

Jaws and Calcutta are two of the most amazing songs ever

[@TheDarkangelazrael]

I checked to see if you've done any other reactions to Sleep Token and it appears you haven't. You really have to check out BLOODSPORT. It's pretty amazing.

[@twall91]

The lore of Sleep Token is a theatrical gimmick. Don’t take it too seriously lol

[@CharisSellick]

All hail the sleep king!

[@F13thvoorhees]

You've got to hear "Higher" That song will get ya 😉

[@greysinclaire]

Seeing that you're a theatre kid, Sleep Token would be a great band for you to check out more of! Their music videos are all of Vessels dreams for each song that they have a video for. Fun fact, the actual guy behind Vessels mask used to be a theatre kid as well and used to be in an old 2 piece band with a girl he used to be in theatre with.

[@Courier_07]

Shout out to Nik! XD hes always on top of new metal

[@thejuniorseas7683]

Charis: "He's Darth Vader'ing this guy!" Me: "I find your lack of Worship disturbing!"

[@_spear10]

Been waiting for you to do this one. Great reaction, Charis! Keep smiling and stay adorable. 😊

[@Mister_Portal_USMC]

It's definitely the future BECAUSE ITS FUCKING SATURDAY

[@CharisSellick]

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

[@ReXtion88]

The Offering is a much heavier song and it's great. Higher is also good

[@EmitAlonzo]

Another great video, Charis!!! I've actually never heard of this bend before, and you reacting to them caught my interest!!! Can't wait for more! Love, your #1 Simp 😘

[@bassimprovjams3772]

I’m watching this 5 mo later but it does happen to be Friday lol absolutely love this band so very much!!! Remember in the movie “ the mask” that dude wrote the book called “the masks we wear” he said we all wear masks metaphorically speaking lol

[@steel2bonez]

5:56 Don't forget ST front man did a Neo there, stopping them bullets....

[@trfmusic902]

This band is 🔥

[@FriendOfTrashPandas]

More interesting music requires naming several genres to give an idea of what you're dealing with. They're like flavors, or paint. What color is the Mona Lisa? Does that mean colors don't exist?

[@frostfang1]

Cult or band? Yes. It's *an experience*. I try to avoid the evangelical vibes by just ascribing to multiple cults at once so it all balances each other out lol. Like ST and menstrual cups and anime. Keep it all at such opposite ends of the spectrum that one of them can't overtake the others.

[@bertill80]

More Sleep Token Please!!! I highly recommend The Offering, Blood Sport (from the room below), The love you want and Higher.

[@jarrod.ives92]

hi from the future. i'm watching this video a year from now

[@idontknow-vq9hu]

Sleep token - The Offering Sleep token - Blood Sport (from the room below) You absolutely must do these if you liked this, and I'll definitely subscribe if you do a reaction to those. I love watching people react to those two

[@thomasjohanthorsrud]

hey back again from 6 months into the future!

[@justinburhns328]

I understand why this was pressed hard on you. The song intro does a great job of pulling you into this tension. By the time the song punches you in full, you are already on edge. I ditch labels frequently myself. I'm pretty sure the background of the band's concept is a reference to a meditative epiphany conceived from a psychedelic state.

[@pigmyandtheamazon4154]

Watching this on Friday just out the blue! Friday the 13th to be exact

[@codyrasmussen9798]

Hello time traveler, its friday of the next year and I just stumbled on your channel haha.

[@Flipp0022]

Yes so weird. Like people praying to some imaginary being. That's just crazy lol. Also Idk how someone doesn't believe in genre's. They are 100% real they just change with time. That's like saying rap, metal, opera and dub step are all the same sound.

[@CharisSellick]

“More like guidelines than actual rules”

[@Nathdood]

A theater kid... making fun of the band having a fictional backround... you're cringe.

[@CharisSellick]

I 100% am

[@jonathanwatson5818]

A few suggestions. Liliac- We are the Children, Dear Father, or Mystery. They are a 5-piece sibling band that are so talented and they are independent so you don't have to worry about blocked videos. I noticed your title said theatre kid so I would think you would enjoy their theatrics.

[@johncarpenter3751]

More more more more please….. hey from future to the past. Still shining as usual

[@MrRaven420]

You absolutely need to check out orphan by Whitechapel it's amazing

[@wanderergrim]

i would say genres are real but subgenres are not, though both very good for specifying your tastes

I'd love to hear your reaction to Nightwish's cover of The Phantom of the Opera (from the musical). They performed it live in 2006 with Tarja Turunen, the band's first singer way before Floor.

Yeah I gotta do this video!!!

[@Widetrackband]

You’re doing yourself a great disservice if you don’t go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole… They are definitely not to be compared to the likes of Slipknot, Ghost, etc. just because they wear masks… This is some of the best singing, drumming, songwriting that’s out there… Alkaline’s just a tiny tip of the iceberg with these guys… As musically diverse a band as you’re going to find…

[@randalljones4370]

Hei Chaaaaaris wow, those fans have you going down the dark alleyways of metal, huh? Slipknot, Sleep Token.... yipes, stripes, Russula brevipes. You can get back into the wide wonderful world of Vocals WITHOUT HAZMAT SUITS by listening to some Ayreon (a project band is an understatement).... try "The Day the World Brakes Down - The Source"), and chase that with the Live version of "Everybody Dies" ... yeah, really uplifting song titles, but you'll be pleasantly surprised.... the first one has 11 vocalists... some of whom you already know. Hey, you don't have to listen to me.... you know I'll hang around just to see what you do next. BTW. ... masks. Back in Viente-Viente, when I was scrappin to find N95's for my clinic, I picked up one of those Plague Doctor / Leather-Raven masks. Goes well with a felted wool, black, top hat and black scrubs...for that 'formal look', amiright? (sorry, they don't make strapless scrubs) Scares the CRAP outta my patients when I show up in it, too. I mean, they already know it's not quite normal at my clinic. ...The Devin Townsend orange octopus on top of the cupboards in the drillin-room kinda gives it away. so....lastly... Clumsy Charis vs Suave Charis? ... hm, I prefer Any Charis, actually, over 99% of the others on YT. Take Care. And give a hug to that guy behind the camera.... he puts up with a lot.

[@loftipixelsprolapsedpp2204]

I recommend that u react to The Love You Want by Sleep Token, if you haven't already. I also recommend that you react to Fall For Me by Sleep Token, Fall For Me will remind you of a very very popular song...........

[@tarbano5681]

Hey from the future. Glad to see you checking out Sleep Token. Amazing.

[@aidanwalsh6265]

This band is just incredible!

Soooooo Speaking of bands that are anonymous dudes in masks. Ghost. You should do Ghost. Specifically "Square Hammer".

[@yunggcritter8924]

Blood Sport, Dark Signs, Jaws, Nazareth

[@christinehonney104]

PLEASE check out their song Fall for Me, it's by far the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It made me openly weep.

[@Elviolli]

"You could be watching this video a year after I made it".....damn close, Charis! Damn close! Been watching your vids since near the beginning but I tend to skip vids of bands I'm not familiar with for the most part. Now I'm on a huge Sleep Token kick and I was glad to see that I missed one of yours to come back to! Cheeyas!

Skinned skynd is another enigma that you may appreciate

if you want to be impressed/surprised you should check out what pro beatboxers are doing now! i would highly recommend you start off with anything from Gbb 2019 but I would also recommend to watch the actual battles and avoid the top 10 things only because you lose a lot of the interaction between the beatboxers

This is probably one of their more heavier songs. Most of this stuff is softer with Piano. I'm a massive metal head but this band has that special place.

[@Anti_Aaron21]

have you listened to Gods by them?

[@Reliquancy]

I think you can use a neural net to classify all songs on a 2d map where songs that are more similar to each other are closer together and the genres would be where they cluster together. Space pants was a great SNL skit.

[@CharisSellick]

Definitely help to generalize the music but are very very unspecific lol

[@Reliquancy]

@@CharisSellick Right, it would just give you where the points of the songs are in relationship to each other but it would be debatable how to really divide it up into different regions which would be the genres.
