This is why I love watching really good music reaction videos, especially Sleep Token. It's like a window into the first time you heard a song you fucking love. You get to relive it, seeing someone love exactly what you've loved for days, weeks, months, years. It's a particular kind of joy.

What I love about Sleep Token is that you can approach each new song without any preconceptions about what you will hear. It always sounds like them because of Vessel's distinctive voice...but you never quite know what they're going to do. The more open minded you are the more you'll love them. Also their drummer is a MONSTER.

I'd never heard of Sleep Token until Will Ramos did a one take cover of their song Hypnosis. I'd never heard Will sing so I was blown away by his voice. The song is so...hypnotic lol. I highly recommend you react to that next! So then I checked out the original version. I wasn't super into it but it's not my usual favorite genre so it wasn't shocking. But listening to Will sing it was just different and I liked it lol I can't explain more than it was the fact that I hadn't heard Will sing before and his singing voice is gorgeous.

I've been into ST for years, heard all of their albums and it's amazing to see their progression and development! They used to be quite an underground, niche band before, but with the release of their new single The Summoning, which has 3 million listens on Spotify in just a few weeks, they had a massive boom and I'm so proud of them! ❤You should definitely check out The Summoning, it's a good introduction into everything this band can do - the genre mixing, amazing vocals both soft and harsh, and a little twist at the end.

Alex you gotta check out The Summoning, Chokehold, Granite, higher, The Offering, Hypnosis, and The Love You Want. Oh and Jaws, likewise all of these songs are great and with Alkaline I believe Vessel is refrencing this entity they worship who goes by Sleep

Unfortunately I'm going to have to disagree. After I watched this video I went and checked them out more.... Unfortunately I didn't like this song and nore did I like the others. They don't sound that good or special. I mean is it metal hard rock or soft rock? I feel like it's soft rock tbh

It's a little hard to enjoy the music of you can't make sense of it. That's like trying to read a book in a different language but you only know how to interpret English.

I mean the same could be said about Harry styles I personally think his music is crap but ppl like him and his crappy music so good on them I guess.
