FIRST BANGER OF 2023 | Sleep Token - Chokehold | Reaction

[@ImmortalMarz]

Dude you know a band is good when you get chills just by seeing the notification they dropped a song.

[@Smithysmithin]

I saw it last night, 3 mins after it dropped. Was like. Alright. I'm not ready yet. And then proceeded to listen 6 times in a row

[@EV_Comics]

Perfectly described my reaction

[@bible1944]

I'll be honest, I nearly cried

Dude i lost my shit seeing they released The Summoning, ANOTHER song I couldn’t believe we were getting it this fast

[@xth3k0wxh1ms3lfx]

Sleep Token needs to do a Bond Theme. This is not a joke.

[@atomictoaster8013]

yes. YES. I’ve always thought Atlantic would have been a fantastic bond theme

[@JayJay270681]

Absolute gem of an idea.

[@sandcake]

It's gonna be Album of the Year. No doubt. I think they found their sound. And nice Elden Ring Boss btw.

Vessel's voice on this is TOP NOTCH (not that it isn't in other songs, but this is something else)... this is so beautiful

[@Kolobochok95]

What is even crazier is the fact that he sounds like this live. Heard the live debut of this song today and it is 1:1 like on youtube.

I seen them a few months ago. He actually sounds better live. Just saying

[@vesves_4]

The way he curls off the end of that final held note turns me into a little puddle on the floor.

This is hands down their best song yet, from the instrumentals, to the vocals, to the structure, the visuals, all of it. WORSHIP

[@blackmamba5659]

It's good but nothing beats Blood Sport; that song rips my heart apart every single god damn time I listen to it.

[@FriendOfTrashPandas]

@@blackmamba5659 bloodsport is up there for me, too. I can't help but feel like their first two records foreshadowed the relationship that was just about to change my life and then pull the rug out from under me. And Bloodsport... just... I lived out that song over the past 6 or 7 months of my life.

[@blackmamba5659]

@@FriendOfTrashPandas similar thing for me bro. I had to end a 2 year relationship with my ex girlfriend cause she was destroying me; toughest decision of my entire life. No remorse. After that, I felt totally reborn. Blood Sport really hits different when you live these things in first person.

[@AsIfItNeverWas]

2022 was probably the best year for me in terms of the music I have discovered but Sleep Token is definitely, without a doubt, the best band I found last year. They're so different from everything I usually like but there isn't a single aspect of them that I don't love. I'm so happy they released a new song just months after I started listening to them. The song is pretty good but it still hasn't grown on me as quickly as their other stuff.

[@Gilescowdemdem]

Yep, agree. Found them whilst they were supporting Architects and they've more than filled the empty void the new Architects album left in my heart.

[@ZarathosDaimaoh]

Yeah that's funny , i hear a lot of people complaining about today's music , of course while wasting time with the billboards top 10 or 50 .But it's their problem and their fault honestly for relying on those heavily . Meanwhile i had a blast in 2022 , one of the best of the last decade , thanks to bands like I Prevail , Bad Omens , Architects , Caskets , Lorna Shore etc ... And now 2023 is starting with a huge bang thanks to Sleep Token

[@davidvillabass]

The reason that the production sounds different from their previous albums is that it is not George lever this time, this time it is carl bown, producer of bmth

[@Ana7hema]

Sleep Token this week. Periphery in 4 days it seems. Yes 2023 starts strong ! Also if this is a 3rd album (seen the possible leaks), I like to think for Sundowning, we were in the light. For This Place Will Become Your Tomb, we were in the deepest water. Now it sounds like we are going dark.

[@Hels_vessel]

Take Me Back to Eden, from what I've been told, is supposed to be a mix of the One and Two EPs, Sundowning, and This Place Will Become Your Tomb but fucking heavier. So basically The Summoning, but heavier and a lot more melodic. 🫣

[@iOfTheStormm]

Second chorus is unreal. So fucking massive

[@mckeoncrawford9262]

Ya’ll hear the birds chirping in the beginning and how it now calls forward to the album title track while that track vocally calls back to this one? Beauty!

[@hardypahardypa1]

I had not after listening to it a billion times! Now i do!

[@Austi3]

The second verse into the chorus was just absolutely unreal. WORSHIP

[@pauldavidmiller7424]

They just put out “the summoning” and it’s one of the best songs they have ever done

[@BobaVett]

Doesn’t it feel like we are all the most fortunate creatures to be in the generation that is watching the rise of Sleep Token? There is no one like them. Magical.

[@andreimarasigan]

I'm a simple guy. Sleep Token drops a song and it's automatically going into my playlist. They're that good of a band, and this song is no exception to their greatness. Worship 🙌

[@sylverscreamqueen]

Exactly

[@me-myself-and-i-u7b]

That is really beautiful and catchy song. As you've mentioned I also can't stop wandering their's ability to pull something new in this style. So fresh and melodic. BTW they have first European show with Architects today, so probably the single will be played live soon.

[@ggaarreenn]

Please if they play this today that would be insane, i’m sure videos of it live will be out soon, especially since they are on tour, they could possibly add it to their set or replace a different one

[@mrkekz7494]
