John: "Are they heavy, are they not heavy...?" Sleep Token: Yes.

[@jamesschultz8260]

Vessel sings & plays all the instruments on their albums except for the drums. The bassist & guitarist only play live shows.

[@DowntunedDevil]

This drummer...holy hell. Wow.

[@Feerlyss]

LOL guest vocalist....I don't think Vessell will have a guest vocalist outside of his guitarist doing screams at the live shows, or his live background trio!

[@JohnReavesLive]

LOL yeah probably need to listen to more of them I just hadn't heard that scream yet! I loved it! reminded me of some older metal bands I grew up listening to! Does he scream in more of his songs?

[@m.8.d.713]

@@JohnReavesLive check out Gods

[@JohnReavesLive]

@@m.8.d.713 HECK YES! adding to the list now!

[@m.8.d.713]

@@JohnReavesLive appreciate it, man! As soon as I hit play on this one I knew they were giving it the Gods treatment, once you listen you’ll understand haha

[@BrennanKai94]

​​@@JohnReavesLive his screams kind of sound similar to Austin Carlile in old Of Mice and Men

[@_.gray._]

High Water is a masterpiece, and my personal favorite.

[@Djent_Lover]

hard to pick just one...

[@Djent_Lover]

sugar? dark signs? no no wait... higher? lol

[@earthscorcher]

This song grew on me the fastest. After a couple times, that chorus hits so hard. Also loving everyone looking up what "vore" means, and then making the connection to "let's get swallowed whole."

[@JustGerryNow]

Okay so, there is a RUMOR that the guitarist, IV, officially joined the band with Vessel and II (the drummer). If IV joined the band and is now part of the studio versions, the screaming is possibly IV (bc IV does some screaming in live performances) HOWEVER, unless it's confirmed that IV is on the studio album and did some vocals, yes. The same man who serenades us with those gorgeous cleans also does those filthy screams 😩

[@lasseigne13]

Wait a second, so you're saying vessel wrote all the guitar riffs and bass lines on the first 2 albums as well as lyrics? And the guitarist they play live with was just someone they toured with that knew all the riffs of the songs? I'm confused. There's no way only Vessel and II wrote everything previous

[@lasseigne13]

And if they did that's even more mind-blowing than their music alone

[@JustGerryNow]

@@lasseigne13 Yep, Vessel and II have been the only confirmed, permanent members of Sleep Token so far. I was shocked when I googled it and found out, especially since the band seems like such a cohesive unit in live performances I've watched. Perhaps they're now a legit band, we won't know for sure unless it's confirmed so hopefully Sleep Token does another interview (they've only ever done one official interview and it was written, not in person or recorded)

[@JustGerryNow]

@Iscussion yeah I thought it was III too, but everyone keeps saying it's IV 😂 one of the guitarists screams during live shows and is RUMORED to have joined Vessel and II in the studio

[@kuranhelix278]

@@JustGerryNow I think all of them are official now, since they all have social media accounts

[@Creationeer]

There's a bunch of reaction channels on this song atm, but you can tell which ones are actual vocalists when Vessel hits that high at 1:38 and their faces change, they can't help it, it's impressive! I think he took some lessons from Architects who they toured with but I'm also detecting some hisses in there. Given they are from London it wouldn't surprise me if they got someone like Dani Filth in to do some vocal couching as that's very much his style. If Ed Sheeran can work with Dani, Vessel sure can lol.

[@djvar94]

It is actually Vessel (the singer of Sleep Token, yes, exactly the same guy who sings in Chokehold and Bloodsport) who does the screaming in this song as well as all the others too. You can actually hear his distinctive tone in his screams as well, and you can also see it in live concerts (or as they're called in the case of Sleep Token: Rituals) that Vessel does indeed do the screams himself and it's not someone else. He is absolutely incredible in his range and talent!

[@ZELEKT.R.X]

Alot of people are saying the guitarist does the screams but it's Vessel doing all the vocals and some of the instruments.

[@diegoecheverria2345]

I get the same vibes from the animations, pretty dark medieval vibes with a sense of consciousness, especially because of the colors and lightning... I love it

[@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh]

Not sure if you’re familiar but Deftones are a major influence on them. The way he screams, the clean intro verse, the dark sexual themes, very Deftonesque. Funny you should mention Norma Jean because Cory Brandan is also influenced by Chino, which you can hear more in his side project called Hundred Suns

[@YTjunkette]

This is 6 months ago... Did you listen to the rest of Sleep Token without us??? Wouldn't blame you... Strictly speaking vocal abilities, I think Vessel would give Dimash a serious run for his money. And I love both of them.

[@HowieStephens]

Me waiting for the 4 hour full three album trilogy reaction show:: 💀 😁

[@JakobStrand]

Love your reactions! If you like this guys singing check out The summoning. That´s an absolute sick song!

[@UnXplainable1]

Have you caught the From the Room Below version of Blood Sport? It’s just Vessel and a piano. Probably their best “live” video in terms of quality, but regardless, worth going out of your way for if you haven’t heard that version yet.

[@earthscorcher]

That version makes me sob uncontrollably. The fvxking pain is so tangible.

[@xleaselife]

Excellent reaction, mate! Loved the FF7 lo-fi backdrop.

[@frostfang1]

Bloodsport from the room below is the ultimate conversion therapy to loving Vessel and ST.

[@odettefaucett9881]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXuxk6ePmddgfsk The summing is my personal favorite song of there's so far. I'm sure you will love this song as you will see they threw everything and the kitchen sink into one freakin song. Rock, metal, funk, eitherial, screams, falsetto, guitar solos, sexy. I mean it's a.d.d. proof lol

[@unbecoming9321]

Vessel plays every instrument but drums during recordings . This is his scream overlapped . He can scream though …. always has been able too back when he was a teenager. Worship

[@DrOepler]

It is actually the same Guy who sings you can See that in Life Videos from theyre concerts and it is even Morel diversed in range in the Song "the summoning"

[@Jamieannjellybean79]

Have you really only reacted to two Sleep Token songs? Where’s the rest? Every single song is a MASTERPIECE! 🖤

[@BMH-cb9jt]

My guess would his Guitarist doing screams. The guitarist was a Vocalist and Guitarist for his old band.

[@JohnReavesLive]

oh nice! do you know the name of his old band?! I 'd love to hear how they've evolved over the time

This does have some Norma Jean vibes. I remember seeing them in high school in like 2005. Yea, I was a scene kid.

[@carinobrien6460]

Pretty sure he's doing his own screams, and here's a live vid. Around 1:40 he screams. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJKUapaJf7Kcnrc

[@carinobrien6460]

Full show is available and it's amazing.

[@itsme_merve]

There are other videos from this show that was taken from the other angle where you can see IV, and it's visible that IV is helping with the screams where he sings "on the other side" and also "won't you show me what it's like?" Well yeah, it's probably Vessel himself on the album record, but guess we won't know for sure?

[@andrewj3398]

Granite, aqua regia ,High water, love you want are some great tunes

@@JohnReavesLive you're welcome!! And funny how you mentioned that about the screams because usually I'm not a fan of the heavy in your face screams but I do really love the screams in this song. Maybe Alkaline, that's one of my favourites, it's a softer song though

very Dani Filth esque, but i love it, no questions asked i can quarantee that Cradle of filth is in there singing wise, musically aswell.

I suggest The Summoning by SLEEP TOKEN. A viral KZbin SLEEP TOKEN favorite. Not my favorite but they are all pretty good. Back To Eden may actually be my favorite.

[@nehemiasgonzalez6989]

Its the same vocalist

[@Hallowhaunt]

Found you for BTS reactions, stayed for Sleep Token. More Sleep Token plz!!

[@p0zitiv4ik40]

Not that VORE i wanted to find💀

[@largeformatlandscape]

I’m not a big fan of full on scream vocals and although I like Lorna Shore, it has to be in small doses. However, the screaming here is emotive, enunciated and integrated in the song so we’ll I’m a fan… anybody else sing more this in metalcore?

[@earthscorcher]

If you haven't seen them, you HAVE to see Will Ramos' covers of "Hypnosis," and "Chokehold." Didn't think anyone could come close to Sleep Token, but he does them such justice.

[@DavidSlEePtOkEnSanchez]

9:37 tell that to will Ramos 😊 lol jk he has sung before just not in a song. It was actually a sleep token song

[@robertlancaster5447]

You need to react to Will Ramos of Lorna Shore covering Sleep Token
