One Final Time | SLEEP TOKEN (Ascensionism) 🙌☁️🔥

[@Lee-ic1pf]

Does the scream before the “YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISSAPEAR”, give anyone else goosebumps? The ending of this is crazy

[@Frenzy4457]

This is one of the best pieces of music I’ve ever experienced. Crazy how they can make a 7 1/2 minute musical masterpiece with no f**king chorus

[@FargSchitter]

I remember feeling this the first time I heard prog in middle school. Like, wait, you can just make music that keeps changing?!

[@AMikeStein]

I’ve listened to this song god knows how many times and it never even dawned on me that there was no chorus….. wtf?!?!

[@Encyledus]

@@AMikeStein no wait literally same LOL

[@UnleashTheGhouls]

The fact you've actively waited to listen to this song, purely to share your first reaction to your audience, is a testament to your integrity as a reactor

[@TheAsphyx666]

Dude is a stronger man than I'd be. :D

[@lox9606]

I'll never get tired of watching Sleep Token reactions.

[@DadiMeShazo]

And Chase's are by far the best reactions I've EVER seen.

[@ericbrandon2888]

I come back to this video regularly for serotonin.

[@ChaseCarneson]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Olphas]

This is probably my favourite song of the year and the crown jewel in this album in my opinion

[@ChaseCarneson]

Kinda glad I left this til last. Special one this 🙏

[@woodyaeki]

3 of em are perfect in my opinion. The Summoning, Take Me Back To Eden and Ascensionism. They all get 10/10 for making my ears rejoice in bliss and giving me goosebumps every time I hear them.

[@jordanmcquay9077]

Easily my favorite as well

[@TheNamesFathom]

@@woodyaekiamen, that’s exactly my thought too! Summoning, TMBTE, and Ascensionism are my top 3 favourites but I can’t put them in any particular order

[@Hoganply]

For me, too.

[@JakobStrand]

The combination of sexy RnB vibes, full blown heavy metal chugs and deepest and most emotional lyrics. This song is amazing in so many ways.

[@madaxe21]

Dear Chase, I've been following your reaction video's for a while now and I really enjoy them. At the end of this video you said something that triggered me instantly. You where talking about the way that you listen to music and how it might deviate from the way most people listen to music. I recognise this feeling and also believe to have seen this before in your video's. The movements and twitches that you have when you listen to a song reminded me instantly of my own way of listening to music. Paying attention to all those little details and able to filter specific layers out of the mass. I believe we have this in common and it's a huge reason why I enjoy your video's this much. I usually do not speak out this openly in this way to anyone about something that (for me) is a very personal and intimate part of my life. Which is my love for music. But I felt the need to share with you, and maybe also other listeners, that I (think I) understand you and that I feel the music in a somewhat simular way. Untill now, I thought that I was weird and the odd one out because nobody ever understands me when I talk about those little details. Not even fellow musicians. It sooths me to know that I'm not alone in this. Thank you for sharing your unique way of listening with others in this very strong and respectfull way. I appreciate you so much for this. Well, after all the above. There is ofcourse no doubt that I love Sleep Token's music as much as you do. And this song is one of the best ones in my opinion. Keep doing what you do my friend. You do it so well. Thank you. Rick.

[@ericbrandon2888]

This comment hits hard. Thank you for sharing your thoughts which I’m sure many of us all share regarding Chase and his reactions. The feelings we all share through the music is incredibly special and should be held in the highest regard. -Eric

[@HeavyMetalCoasters]

This is undoubtedly the best song they’ve ever written. I literally cannot get enough.

[@shamalamaaa]

“YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAR” - my favorite moment from the entire album. Also the break at 7:58 hits so good. Thank you for all the amazing ST reactions, Chase. Worship.

[@theopinson3851]

The second time it comes around with the chord change…🥵

[@HowieStephens]

Such a simple moment but it gets me every time 🥹

[@Dreamtaker509]

The scream before he says You make me wish I could disappear absolutely destroys me. You can hear and feel the pain

[@Dan_Yerlll]

Best reaction channel on KZbin hands down

[@SpiritualWanderers]

I’m 49 and this band has me feeling like I’m in my teens again. Pure magic.

[@DrWolfensteinz]

Ascensionism and Aqua Regia are the main ones that I just can't skip off this album. There are a few others that come close, but man, Ascensionism and Aqua Regia fight for the top spot constantly depending on my mood.

[@jandynmarkham317]

I feel like Aqua Regia is under appreciated! It's so good!

[@Dreamtaker509]

You can feel the pain in his scream before he says You make me wish I could disappear. Kills me every time.

[@earthscorcher]

The 24 hours I have to wait for this to drop is going to be harder than the day leading up to the TMBTE drop. Killin me, Chase.

[@ChaseCarneson]

🙏🙏🙏 almost time

[@WishMount]

youtube’s wirst feature by far 😭 Worse than cock and ball torture

[@TaerTech]

This song spoke to my soul in ways I never knew music could. This song made me ugly cry the first time and I have no idea why. It’s just a masterpiece along with the rest of the album.

[@SarahOfTheRealm]

I cried, like bawled, the first time I heard this. It still chokes me up even now.

[@aceofhearts37]

More than anything I appreciate your comment on not getting caught up in wild theories. I think the secrecy aspect of this band helps create that idolizing, parasocial relationship, where the band members are seen as these higher, enlightened beings. If you think I'm exaggerating, look at the comment section under any Sleep Token fan video. Vessel is one hell of an artist - one of the very best in recent years, I'd dare say - but there's a person behind the mask. Let the band do their thing, don't pry into their personal lives, and just enjoy the music. That's what we're all here for.

[@rachelmattick2356]

So agree, the fact that even if you've heard a lot of their music and you know a lot of their ability to different genres/approaches, there is still this...unknown, and you don't know what's coming next. As soon as you think you've got a hold of the rhythm or the groove, there's the chance it will shift COMPLETELY. And it doesn't throw you off badly...the little breaks absolutely bring that joy, that moment of "ooooo!!" or "wow" or even "huh, wasn't expecting that".

[@missinbrain]

This album flows so well from beginning to end. Some of the songs are so much better when taken in the context of the album as opposed to solo.

[@tjh5716]

I contend the greatest ST song.

[@thiefofelsweyr7652]

This is one of the most gut wrenching pieces of music I have ever heard. Vessel's scream at the breakdown right before, "You make me wish I could disappear," somehow feels like it encapsulates all of my pain and anguish I've ever experienced in my life and puts it into one perfect sound. It just fucking HURTS to hear him scream like that, yet I have never felt more seen by any singer.

[@paravarium]

The GOAT.

[@ChaseCarneson]

🙏🙏🙏 my dude

[@mccaaabe]

I'd put money on Vessel being a bassist first that then started playing guitar. So many ST songs have rhythm guitar riffs that approach runs and progressions exactly how a bassist would.

[@LFV_1]

If this album is a collection of gems, this song is the Diamond

[@nonoyourmomsaho]

You are legitimately the only reaction I've seen that has had this visceral of a reaction like I did and I am so happy I'm getting to enjoy this with you again 😢

[@ChaseCarneson]

Really appreciate the kind words and the support. This band is in my veins at this point and I couldnt be more grateful

[@aswefall0]

i love listening to musically educated people speak about artists that they're passionate about, thank you for all you do chase

[@mephisto5030]

Chase, I do, and always have, appreciate your careful contemplation of the music. You are valuable and important. Thank you.

[@tsf_skeith6614]

Saw them live 3 days ago, it was an experience. One of my fav concerts I've ever been to. They sound angelic live.

[@maffrocks666]

Easily the best song on the album, closely CLOSELY followed by the title track. The album is a masterpiece

[@josefgordon7712]

I’ve been listening to this album since it came out. Easily over 50 times plus all the singles that came out earlier this year and I’m still catching new elements. Truly magic 🪄

[@icandyapple]

I enjoy how you take your time with the reaction, not afraid of the breaks or the silence. No rushing, just thoughtful reacting. Thank you! ❤

[@ChaseCarneson]

I know the way I do reaction isn’t for everyone, but I’m very glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the support 🙏

[@MCookston]

It's always so hard to explain sleep token to friends or other people for me but the way you break down what they do and connect the dots make it so much easier to understand. Been listening to them since around 2019 right before sundowning came out and they are still my #1 band

[@motherofspiders763]

Chase, another amazing reaction! That look of anticipation and the smile on your face at the first big transition was great! Sleep Token gifted us with another incredible album - they don't miss. They just don't have a bad song. Worship

[@PhsycoINK]

Just hearing that part of when Vessel says “You make me wish I could disappear” really hurts because I’ve told people this and they told me that they wouldn’t have cared if I was gone. Made me realize who I was surrounding myself with

[@cody8724]

This song will forever be my favorite song above any other. It resonates somewhere deep in my soul and i can’t explain how it makes me feel. Its gotten me through some really rough times so far and im so glad i found this band

[@aleasha.k.b]

So happy you got to this one, my favorite song by them besides Alkaline!

[@aleasha.k.b]

Also congratulations on your engagement Chase! So happy for you two!

[@markcampbell4191]

You’re awesome. Thanks for sharing your feelings with all of us. Worship

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thanks for listening

[@BREAKER74100]

god and they way i reacted to the way you reacted and was so happy to see your reaction. fuck that's awesome

[@damientolley2440]

It's been an amazing journey discovering and exploring this band. They have become my favorite band of all time and I say that proudly. I will be seeing them live at Louder Than Life on the 23rd of next month and I'm really excited.

[@winterwoooooooo]

Love how your face just lights up with the first music and vocal change, can tell you’re just so into it and how you just get into it! Can really tell you’re really appreciating every part of this song!

[@INDAmedia]

What a journey from the first note to the last.

[@jodiquerry3664]

You have priceless reactions! Thank you!❤

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you so much. 🙏

[@norahdenovan8658]

Oh god .. this band.. Worship ❤

[@yviscariello5755]

Thank you for plugging the server friend! We are very lucky to have you a part of our community!

[@andrewyork7776]

Man! That minor 2nd that starts in the piano that he then sings in the last big break.... Absolutely gut wrenching.

[@brees354]

I couldn’t agree with you more, on pretty much all parts! Worship ❤

[@BREAKER74100]

I enjoy every video you make about them. started watching you cover them as I was just finding them out them out. I love them so much and love how much you love the just as I do and as much as every fan of them for their beautiful music and how much you breakdown how they are so the beautiful way you break down their music keep up the great work

[@ericbrandon2888]

Thank you for the gift, Chase!

[@georginabutler8996]

YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEARRR I feel that inside my soul

[@PhoxyPoxy]

Maybe my most anticipated reaction video yet. Thank you Chase.

[@justinflores165]

This album is genuinely so stellar

[@Runeforged]

Man you hit me with the commentary on this one. It’s like you’re slowly becoming a poet and I’m here for it.

[@twall91]

I knew it!!! I just found Chase’s intro music in a gameranx video! I’m guessing it’s because it’s that sweet royalty free KZbin stock music. But damn… I can’t believe I actually remembered it!

[@maximilianschmidt424]

Love your reactions man!

[@jdhane36]

Love it!!!! Probably my favorite song on the album!!!!!

[@yilomina2047]

Wise words, Chase. And thank you for waiting so we can share some of these with you!

[@bonavitamanuela9513]

Ils viennent d’ailleurs, c’est de la magie, ils ont été envoyés pour nous donner la chair de poule !

[@Chellanthe]

This song is such a magnificent accomplishment of their music. Thank you for this reaction/sharing.

[@karlissulcs3822]

You're very good at articulating yourself while being crushed under the immense emotional implosion that ST is. For all it's worth, I was speechless and had to take a walk after this one. Kudos.

[@DanielaLacerda]

Can't wait for this amazing one ♥ One of my favorite

[@ChaseCarneson]

Almost time

[@poizonali]

Great reaction as always! Thank you :)

[@jadeH23.16]

I love sleep token so much! Your channel sparked my passion for their music even more, seeing your reactions/breakdown of the music is so great! Im an artist and did a few drawings of iii and iv and they saw and liked my art😭 ive never had that happened to me before , its just so beautiful how an "anonymous" band interacts with fans,. i feel each and every song they've released. Its bettered my mental state so much, this band will always have a special place in my life❤

[@edelwiess2306]

Thank you for saving this one back for a great reaction 😊. I feel as though a lot of the trilogy had been planned long ago, so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they already have many ideas on where it goes next. Whatever they decide, I’ll be here for it. I’ve never come across a band where it’s so easy to tell that every nuance is purposefully done and how they’ve mastered the use of multiple genres to create the different emotions, and seamlessly too. They deserve every bit of success.

[@DanSkinny]

Chase you’re always so spot on with your thoughts and feelings. I’ll always have time for your uploads sir!

[@danihatton9535]

Chase, I have to comment how excited I was to see your reaction to this song. I watch a lot of Sleep token reactions but your articulate thoughts have actually shaped my own personal journey with this band. When listening to them I now regularly think of your comments, such as how they create a sense of space in a "room" then blow the roof off; how they take a core musical idea and run with it; or how they continually subvert expectations and challenge us as listeners. Thank you Chase, for your unique and insightful perspectives.

[@theparadisesnare]

My favorite on the album, by a good bit. The buildup throughout the first few minutes takes me on a goosebump filled journey EVERY time. Love it with all my being. I was resistant at first bc of all the hype but this album has truly been transcendent for me. Grateful

[@donovanwalker4504]

This one spoke to me on such a deep level I got it as you so eloquently put it, bookmarked on me so I’ll have a constant reminder of the good and bad of the struggle we face

[@TaerTech]

I absolutely agree.

[@robotwaifuengineer]

OH MAN HOW I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY FRIEND. THIS SONG IS A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE EACH AND EVERY TIME I HEAR IT. MOTHER FUCKING WORSHIP.

[@davewetering7554]

Language please

[@strangeling76]

​@@davewetering7554😂 first day in a KZbin comment section?

[@ChaseCarneson]

🙌🙌🙌

[@johncrwarner]

I haven't heard any Sleep Token before so it was interesting to hear your impassioned reaction I find you reactions and analysis as well as your approach to music makes for me you a useful guide to music.

[@marchanson9981]

Your dialogue is so well put it made me emotional. You capsulated what thses guys mean to many of us. Its like a sickness.... in the best way

[@sandcake]

Worship ❤

[@gerardomorales4078]

I was waiting all day for this. Your reactions are always awesome, Chase. I love sharing this Sleep Token connection with you. Ascensionism stirs up so much emotion and feeling of power. This track RIPS! Cheers from Austin, TX.

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

So glad to see you back with Sleep Token! Such a great reaction as usual 🖤

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Also I hope your hand is okay! 🖤

[@slushpuppydevil]

oh wow, i was just listening to this earlier today a few times after not listening super closely for a few weeks and it was amazing how much new stuff i found. Can't wait to see your insights on it!

[@delvinray1]

Imagine thinking a song like this is “just pop” or “trying to sound pop” like I have heard some critics say

[@DuncanAinsworth]

I recently learnt that my brother was in a band with vocalist when they were younger. It came out when we were talking about different music we had been listening to recently and he casually dropped into the conversation.

[@bishfish3]

What’d he have to say about him?

[@DuncanAinsworth]

@@bishfish3 I remember him being a decent kid, very likeable

[@Torrment]

Something that struck me the first time I heard this was the concept of dissonance and resolution. While everything is pretty much straightforward in note choice, there is a broader compositional dissonance between the introduction and verse that doesn’t really get resolved until the vocal harmonies kick up therein; and then, because repetition legitimizes, the carry-through suddenly blends. It’s an interesting choice. Anyway, as you were.

[@susilehner1593]

So Happy for you having fond love it's the most important wish you all the best

[@maxnflru1777]

Great song and will be great adventure for you, Chase. Thx for content and your vision of music

[@domfrost12]

IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE THE CALCUTTA REACTION?

[@kempokiai]

Waited patiently and as always you never disappoint. Chase you are so pure and unfiltered, you are a treasure. No one has been able to give me the visceral reaction of listening to a song for the first time again. Seeing your genuine reaction gave me the a brief feeling of listening to it for the first time as well. Thank you Chase ❤

[@kempokiai]

Also GET IN!!!!

[@riikkapalokangas560]

Just woke up, and saw that you have finally done reaction to this. ❤️ I'm gonna grab my cup of coffee, and mentally prepare myself to get super- emotional, as I always do watching these, and this song has really grown to be my favourite from the album. Thank you already! 🥰☺️

[@michellecox8259]

Fantastic reaction! Sleep token is just music. No genre. Just music. They take me to a place with music I’ve never experienced. Sleep token definitely like a secret that I want to share with the world. Having just discovered time feel criminal! Lol I found them, bad omens, and Dayseeker at the same time and it’s like the most amazing trio of bands to find at one time. Also Will you be posting reactions to the apparition and rain?🖤

[@earthscorcher]

Gosh, this was everything I'd hoped for 🥹 so grateful to you for sharing this with us, and grateful to have gotten to know you a bit better along this journey. I love the idea of doing a vid with a few live performances. Definitely recommend the Hallelujah cover from the FTRB performance, Hypnosis, Nazareth, and maybe Rain.

[@vesves_4]

I yelped when I saw this video, I can't believe you managed to wait to listen to this one! Great video as always.

[@YTjunkette]

I might have said it before, but I love seeing how much you love music in general and Sleep Token in particular. They are awesome and so are your reactions. Thanks, Chase, and you have a DGD yourself!

[@BowlerdudeMGR]

Chase, thank you for this! You make a very interesting point about keeping this band a secret for yourself and guarding it (paraphrasing). I have listened to their older music, and when the singles came out for TMBTE I only listened to them when I was alone. Only at that time the only other people I have "shared" this experience with are reactors. Even my wife had not been exposed to them until the album had come out. And even then, it wasn't until after I had listened to the album twice through that we we went on a drive and I had her hear the album. She was floored and it gave me so much joy at that point that I could have that to share with her. It's an experience.

[@HowieStephens]

Haha similar experience here, went on a 6 hour road trip last month and played the whole trilogy all the way through. Was my first opportunity to listen to all three records back to back to back with no interruption, and wife's first time hearing ST at all I think. She didn't grab the aux cord once so I think that's a good sign? 😅

[@sweeno1877]

Bring on Leeds festival 💪.... Been a fan myself of sleep token since jaws dropped. And a fan of yours chase for nearly as long too ... Brilliant reaction once again, Brilliant song

[@angieforeverlost9403]

I just found your channel & I have to say your videos are such a treat to watch. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@unsichtbaer]

Dude feels the song :D

[@ashleybooker4420]

GET IN!!!

[@TheGiusinoGirl]

Im so glad you did this one! It deserves recognition! 🤩

[@liamwells2132]

Hey Chase, fantastic reaction mate, not only to this track but the enitirety of Take Me Back to Eden, I'm always absolutely amazed by how Sleep Token can capture so many people with their music while simultaneously blending multiple genres that would stereotypically be a turn off for a fan of each. I was wondering whether you would consider doing further reactions to Thornhill and thier catalog, specifcally from their The Dark Pool or Heroine albums, because I absolutely adore their astomospheric style of metal and their craftsmanship are top notch and I feel like they are more unknown than they should be to the wider metal/music audience. I hope all is going well and wish you the best!

[@cristinamorrison2862]

Fantastic reaction, so glad you put this one up, Chase!

[@dalj4362]

One of my favourites from ST.

[@kristnicholson3401]

Hey Chase, I noticed in the video you said you had listened to all but Ascensionism from Take Me Back To Eden, What did you think of Rain? its my favourite song of theirs and I think I might see a different meaning in it from what I've heard others say - Keep up the good work

[@Appoloen]

Chase have you ever listened to When the bough breaks from them? That's my absolute favorite song by them

[@MisterBolticus]

II know for a fact I am about to watch a very pleasant individual lose his goddamn mind Stoked || The Night Belongs To Us ||

[@jennafishy97]

They played this live when I saw them in September. Not a dry eye in the venue.

[@ChaseCarneson]

I believe it. I’m looking forward to the day I can see them live.

[@cameronmurphy5295]

This album is amazing! You should give Stellar Circuits a listen! Your ears will thank you!

[@weresorenflyin]

Love the vid as always ❤ please please please do a vid on the live lafayette show it’s their best and most intimate show if you haven’t seen it I recommend nothing more highly
