Welcome!
Join me as I dive into the unique vocal performance of Sleep Token's lead vocalist, "Vessel", in 'The Summoning'. From the impressive range and tone to the intelligent use of aspiration and subtle breathing sounds, I'll break down what makes this song and it's singer stand out.

[@nickwelch3649]

Take me Back to Eden next, what a ride that song is.

[@spiceguy95]

Bloodsport from the room below is probably the best showcase of Vessels Vocals

[@Bonz-vc8zd]

Watching people become mind blown to sleep token is ALWAYS so entertaining. We’ve all been there when first discovering them. Prepare the rabbit hole!

[@sladesspades]

I’d recommend the song The Offering. It’s a very nice display of Vessel’s voice

[@cerebrix]

Most Sleep Token songs are in 4/4 but the drummer (called II) transposes the 1 a LOT. He likes to drag the 1 behind the beat, but then other times plays the 1 ahead of the beat for urgency. sometimes he does that in patterns to give the appearance of a crazy time signature. But because he's almost always 4/4 that's why his drums have so much groove.

[@Rose_in_Eden]

In "The offering", " Bloodsport"( room below), " Levitate", " Atlantic" and " The night does not belong to God" ( live) You can enjoy Vessel's vocal talent to the fullest ❤

[@ILoveGrilledCheese]

Finnish is the craziest sounding language I’ve ever heard 😮

[@Hoganply]

Finns FTW

[@mcgee2k2]

Sleep Token rabbit hole pleeeeease 😂 ❤ love your reactions and technical explanations!

[@rb9634]

Saw them live a while back, AMAZING live and Vessel is an unreaaaaaall voacalist. Prepare to go down the rabbit hole!

[@Malty1986]

“This is many songs in one” welcome to Sleep Token! Looking forward to more reactions from this amazing band

[@chrisskarsbo]

Literally anything from them please just MORE 😁

[@robinaberg3947]

Loved this reaction Anna! Vessel is so good you forgot to speak finnish for a while there 🤣

[@christianmeyer6724]

Due to my "ignorance" I didn't expect to be surprised so positively. But I was ! It's what makes your (and few other) channels so dear to me: Genuine, well founded and truely "music-hearted" reactions I can relate to. To me the "Anna-Way" of reactions was, is and will be top-notch !!! And first source to turn to, thank you !

[@bobs1648]

Anna, YES you just made my day so much better.

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

That chorus was so good it made her switch to speaking english lol I love ST and I have a feeling you will too. Check out Take me Back to Eden, Ascensionism, Apparition, Rain, and Euclid. All off the same album (their most recent) and incredible. All their previous albums are just as good too! ST just doesnt miss.

[@Riccardo_Mori]

I think you're one of the best listeners among those doing vocal/musical analysis on KZbin, and that is reflected on the way you then articulate your analysis. Precise, to the point, informative. ❤ //Rick

[@michaelhudson2867]

A few times you couldn’t help yourself but to grin because music can sometimes be repetitive and predictable but this song hooks you and takes you for a ride at its own pace that you don’t expect, start to finish. I hope for and look forward to more songs from this group. They have many songs worth a dedicated video. As always thank you so much for providing us great content!

[@mara_s3879]

Aaaaaaaaah Heck yeaaah🔥 Their sound is sooo diverse. They can appeal to all types of audiences when it comes to musical tastes, and yet they remain true to their sound and vibe + the complex time signatures (which reminds me a bit of jinjer because of the complexity) + most epic breakdowns!! Anna can you put on your list Asaf Avidan. Incredible performer with a voice that cuts through your soul:) He's one of my best goosebumps suppliers 🥰 with incredible multi-instrumental dexterity. Can't wait for this. Hope you're doing well ☺️🎶❤️

[@annavaskelainen]

Awwwyeahhh let's go! 😎🎵 I got some Jinjer vibes too! I'll put Asaf Avidan to my list! Happy to serve, Mara! I am well and enjoying the summer sun, hope you are too! 😊🎵

[@mara_s3879]

@@annavaskelainen Awww...Girl you're so F@# gooood...damn!!! Can't wait for more Sleep Token. AAAND I'll wait impatiently for that day, Asaf Avidan 😁 He's one of kind🌌 (Suggestions: In a box II - Your anchor - Her lies - Different Pulses 🎶❤️🎶

[@DeuceTreyz]

IF you follow up one video to this Anna you should react to Vessel singing "Bloodsport" he plays it on a piano in a live setting

[@ErBatteraioDeeNebbie]

Ascensionism Is incredibile, go for it ✌️✌️

[@Shiz514]

I will watch every Sleep Token video you make, literally every one. This band is amazing and from watching your other videos and getting a sense for your likes, I think you will really enjoy their music. Song suggestions, there are so many good songs it is hard to narrow down but some favorites are Ascensionism, Euclid, Take me Back to Eden, Rain, Atlantic, Apparition, Atlantic to name just a few of many many great songs

[@BigMoore1232]

Sleep token is usually in 4/4 but the drummer plays a lot of triplets so it's sometimes hard to count. They are amazing live. I saw them at red rocks in Colorado. It was an experience.

[@852aaron]

euclid is a favourite for me

[@jurgengierkink4322]

I call this a pleasant surprise. Kiitoksia Anna 😊

[@Heroo01]

I'd love to see you react to more Sleep Token!

[@iuEnglishLyrics]

Always fun to hear something I've not heard before - and Anna's thoughts always point out something I'd missed!

[@szilonil]

Love your content and thank you for the top tier subtitles. A reaction to Blood Sport (from the room below) would be awesome, great look at Vessel without a lot of effects

[@ShriempScampi]

You cannot listen to this and not listen to Take Me Back To Eden, TMBTE is a MASTERPIECE!!! I would also add taking a look at them performing live, Their live set production is insanely good.

[@happy_girl4813]

I love your reactions !! Please more sleep token- I love your analysis!!

[@bradt8019]

Feel better, 👋😏 best wishes.

[@Runeforged]

So, I would highly recommend you react to Take me back to Eden as your next Sleep Token reaction. The Summoning is great don’t get me wrong but it only scratches the surface of the different genres and complexities within their music. I am highly curious what your trained, artistic and intelligent perspective would be on that song :) Btw, your description of his vocal techniques especially concerning mouth position is fascinating. Such small things can create such dramatic change.

[@TNTales]

Great video. As to the time signature the drummer, II, did a drum explanation on Drumeo. He said that the time is actually 4/4 but he plays triplets over that time so it sounds more off beat than it is but still lets him return to the 4/4 by the end for that groove part.

[@annavaskelainen]

INTERESTING!

[@tonygreen6357]

"Alkaline" is a beauty from Sleep Token. From their previous album.

[@erickknutz5599]

Excellent recommendation, seeing as some opinions might lean towards other songs for musical reasons, but Alkaline makes the most sense for a Vocal Coach to react to. His vocal work in that song is just insane, along with the bonus of having amazing lyrics.

[@michaelhudson2867]

I think aqua regia or ascensionism are other good ones for vocals. He just does a lot of interesting things with inflection and the way he says different words.

[@voodjin]

Love this band.. very versatile..

[@FranklinOPT]

Your reaction and on-the-spot analysis are brilliant.

[@user-ld5ny1qf8z]

Очень красивая, мощная и атмосферная композиция! Получил истинное удовольствие и от исполнения и от реакции! Анечка как всегда очаровательна, идеально лаконична, предельно внимательна и искренне радует высокопрофессиональным разбором всех значимых нюансов исполнения. Спасибо!!! 🤩😍

[@blairmillward8408]

Thank you!! Of course everyone is going to say you have to listen to more and put their favourites in, so I will too! Atlantic, and chokehold would have to be two more you must hear. Always look forward to anything you do, thanks for your time and effort in creating these 😀

[@Runeforged]

Wow thank you for taking our suggestions. :) Much appreciated.

[@mkennedy319]

LETS GO!

[@davidputterman2719]

Happy Friday Anna!

[@maasawdreamt8521]

Hello Anna, would you be interested in reacting to "Equus" by Ne Obliviscaris? It is a song off of their latest album, and I think it is dangerously close to perfection

[@christian53050]

Please do not forget about Angelina Jordan, and she is now entering her adult career with vast attention : ) Many would enjoy hearing your insight, and AJ now has a huge following !

[@anni884]

Ihanaa, että reagoit tähän biisiin ja bändiin ylipäätään! Lämpimästi suosittelen koko Take me back to Eden-levyä, it's a ride! Levy on täynnä yllätyksiä ja suuria tunteita. :D

[@karenlazenby6440]

HOW do you have no videos of the GOAT, Ronnie James Dio?! THE VOICE, best in any genre. Check out Ronnie LIVE, he's even better live, in the bands Rainbow, Black Sabbath or Dio, 3 of his most popular bands he head up. God given TALENT.

[@justitia257]

Very Interesting, gorgeous Anna 🌹

[@robertpetre9378]

Sleep token seem to switch between genres quicker than I change my clothes every day ha ha

[@ezkp812]

Very nice. Not what I remember in my short recollection of this band.. Love the texture, the voice and mix genres.Just been made a new fan from this song and want to hear more.Thank you for reacting. Now sending some TLC for those sniffles.

[@allengray5748]

This truly is FATT!! Just like I wasn't a fan of Growl Metal until I heard JINJER!! Also not a fan of Dramatic METAL until This!! Awesome percussion work and different change ups!! Very VERY Well done!! Not much work on the video though ☺️ but great tune. Later in the day I'll have to play this loud. Like really L O U D!! Great Job Anna!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@allengray5748]

Part II 😮 Woe now. Rewatched with the CC. TMI on the snot removal phase lady 😅

[@LoganH0076]

Great reaction as always! I’d suggest Chokehold by them next 😃

[@chriscross2473]

Seen them twice last year. They are pretty good live.

[@annavaskelainen]

Chriiis! Seeing your comment put a smile on my face! 😊 Where did you see them?

[@01tonyde]

Hi Anna, my favorite Finnish!!! Can you watch a new music from Dimash called When I've got you. It's inspired by Thriller Love you ❤

[@rjcelmer]

Welcome to the wild ride that is Sleep Token! They're a rabbit hole you will be happy to go down ... very deeply. Oh, and they're only two people. Vessel I and Vessel II. Vessel I does everything but drums, and Vessel II does drumming. They have tour musicians to fill the other instruments, but in-studio, it's only I and II.

[@misatankosic1001]

Rainbow "Stargazer" REACTION ..

[@matthewjakubowski9020]

Me stumbling upon the thumbnail - Hmm maybe she'll speak English. Me starting video - Eh fuck it, I'll probably enjoy the video anyway. Me at 3:55 - Wait do I know Finnish? Me at 10:45 - I do not know Finnish. Great video 🤘

[@annavaskelainen]

😂😂😂 thanks!

[@Shanklymania]

Hyviä havaintoja & huomioita! Moni metallimusiikin ystävä on juurikin tän laulajan persoonallisuuden vuoksi vähän "meh" Sleep Tokenin suuntaan, itselle taas tuo lisäväriä ja ulottuvuutta muutenkin niin kirjavaan saundiin. Livenä vielä kokematta, toimiiko sitten lähellekään niin hyvin kuin noin tuhdisti tuotettuna albumilla.

[@Andy_from_de]

I think you should listen to Joakim sing in his mother tongue in the live recording of "En livstid i krig"

[@christianmeyer6724]

New territory, always interesting 🙂

[@itsdragon3085]

Take me back to eden, The apparition, Ascensionism, chokehold and higher!

[@justinkanicki8044]

U see will Ramos cover chokehold?

[@Scubasgamecorner]

I wish I was born in Finland ❤

[@serloc1308]

There is a video of their live at Red Rocks Morrison, 2024 with great quality(4k) if you would like to check it out. I highly recommend Atlantic and Hypnosis for a reaction.

[@johanmelv0gue595]

siiiiiii al fin!!!!!!!!!!! anaaaaa 9:27 yes

[@Elviolli]

I laughed a bit when she cut him off just after he said 'cut me off'.

[@annavaskelainen]

😂😂😂😂

[@susannradal9303]

I hope you can do Heilung with Anoana, Traust or In Maidjan

[@beelzbop]

We'd love to hear his speaking voice, too, but all we have are two instances where he chuckled into the mic during shows. He doesn't speak and the one live interview any of them have done is with the drummer and he used a voice changer. I don't expect that to change.

[@robdaniel3211]

If you want to here it, it’s out there.

[@beelzbop]

@@robdaniel3211 I know but that's not polite to discuss publicly and I maintain respect for what their intent is within the ST orbit

[@TheAquaponic1]

I am disappointed that we are getting the Premier notification 3 days early, I am anyways. but I can Not wait to see this reaction. Worship.

[@annavaskelainen]

Well, YT is not my main job so sometimes I just have to work with the only time span I have in my week regardless of the day. 😊 Hope this is worth the wait!

[@cbilici]

Stargazer by Rainbow would be a great choice.

[@dusunenadam4749]

good choice! please make react to Dishwalla - Mad Life, love❤

[@danandersson7768]

Niin häiritsevää tää 50/50 suomi ja enkku. Mikä logiikka?

[@slate613]

I think it's safe to say that not many people know what Vessel's speaking voice sounds like. They're better than Slipknot at anonymity at this point!

[@martine3293]

Interesting. It didn't really sound like one song to me and because of that I found it hard to hear the 'flow' of the song. He does have a pleasant voice though.

[@nehemiasgonzalez6989]

react to Legion by TessaracT, best vocal performance ive ever heard in my whole life

[@millimalli5489]

Chokehold is the best after this one. Or Atlantic

Tää on itelle ainoo Sleep Tokenin biisi jota jaksaa kuunnella. Kaikissa muissa minkä oon kuullu tuntu olevan vähän liikaa kaikkea sekaisin. Ehkei oo ihan just miun tyylinen bändi.

hey Anna. it's that greek guy here. may i asked you a reaction?

Löysin bändin viime syksynä, melkein heti piti ostaa take me back to eden hyllyyn, ja vähän sen jälkeen 2 levy, mitään muuta ei oikeen ole tullut sen jälkeen kuunneltuakkaan, tämä bändi vie mukanaan ja syvälle, aivan uskomaton bändi

[@McLatysh]

Прям на жительницу Урала внешностью похожа, как их так занесло на запад... Почему так обнажает зубы при выговоре (при таких мощных скулах это прям угроза). Интересно, если немцы от слова немые, то финны должны быть по-любому от слова заика, чередование длинных гласных с короткими, на славянский слух намеренно в случайном порядке, это "р-р-р-р", не, и я так могу, уверяю лучше чем любой шотландец, но это как-то не так, это как-то чересчур, а у меня в загашнике мягкая "р" есть, пусть будет без кавычек р', да, её там тоже ревеберируй сколько душе угодно, но правильно будет два-три стресса, ну для эмоции в окончании или середине слова ну пускай много больше, для начала надо ещё найти такое слово и такую эмоцию))) не имею ввиду ваше ближайшее окружение именно балтских финских языков, но в ваших ближайших родственниках мордовских такого "ротацизма" прям нет, там всё спокойнее. Не, пение это всё прикольно, но лингвистика интереснее, вам наверное нет, хотя вы же гуманитарий, а я вообще технарь, но мне это пища для ума, а это всё эмоции, мало и редко интересно, хотя там тоже разработаны целые подходу, даже к голосу их пытаются применять, к гармонии, к нотам, к звучанию инструментов, к их комбинированию и компоновке, но только не к голосу, он не может быть стабильным, он много от чего зависим, и это инструмент всё таки не духовой, там всё сложнее, он вам через день споёт иначе. Ну, а чё, бухать так бухать, комментарий так комментарий, никого же не обидел, так, поболтал, выговорился, не про политику, чуть коснулся лингвистики и антропологии, но это же нормально, каждому цветку своя пчела. =)

[@McLatysh]

Почалось, вы на прослушке у кого-то, сейчас будут названивать и вскрывать соцсети "друзья" англо-украинские. И так всегда, я не понимаю почему хотя бы Англию нельзя выключить из этого процесса, это же отборное ничто.
