That chorus tho...

I wanted more! The song left me WANTING more! Man, I hope they cross the pond this fall/winter!

Funny story; I'm the left handed hazmat suit dude & got the job by geeking out about Sleep Token on a different music video (the director was the same for both). Worship!

[@sanpellegringo7961]

Fucking tight as!

That's awesome! Worship💖

[@adamsteinbach4899]

I don't want to know anything about him but I gotta ask... Did you meet vessel? See his face?

[@amullan88]

@@adamsteinbach4899 they had a stand in as they couldn't make it to set. About an hour after talking to this random stand in double I said to the crew "y'know I'm an actor, right? It's my job to study resonance and vocal pitch so I can emulate it if I need to? That person there is Vessel; I'll bet my drum kit, left leg and girlfriend on it". Turns out they knew I was a fan of the band and wanted to surprise me (which I ruined, oops). But yeah I met Vessel. And they are absolutely awesome.

[@brendanjenkins188]

Wow, that's sick as hell. Love this band and everything that they do.

[@austinxwade]

This band's drummer is so goddamn underrated. He's a monster

[@caseydykes117]

He’s scaling up there with dan like honestly beautiful, technical, catchy and a fucking monster

[@cameroncraft8050]

Dude incorporates grooves that make my body move. Super heavy, yet insanely groovy. The part where he comes in on higher is so one of my fav

[@brandenoller2404]

There is a rumor that he's Ray Luzier from Korn but idk if I buy it.

[@ivanalexis3057]

reminds me of Abe from Deftones, a little more fresh though!

[@VictoriaVague]

It's that good live too, which is insane

@Anthony Arlem yup

Sam Smith vs Chino Moreno imo

[@killiammusicandgaming]

I HAVE BEEN LOOPING THIS SONG ITS SO FUCKING GOOD

[@NikNocturnal]

Same

[@thejuniorseas7683]

First came across the song "Hypnosis" because of Will Ramos' cover! Then decided to look into the band, and have played the songs "The Offering"; "Atlantic"; "Dark Signs"; "Alkaline" and "The Night Doesn't Belong to God" on absolute repeat!

[@Greatlakeskyle.]

“Drummer just wackin it” No better words to describe it!

[@robertkleinschmidt1029]

Sundowning is an incredible record. Sleep Token is one of the only bands out there right now that make different genres their bitch. Also, no one knows who they are which is genius marketing.

[@Dierkes385]

I’m convinced they’re making their own genre 🔥

[@mylesfell7589]

Ye they are every genre melded in to one incredible sound.

[@mattg3135]

I know who 3 of them are but the cool thing is that even if they revealed the identities they are all kind of unknown artists.

[@Johannesbatt]

Just pure bliss... Always sending you to another dimension

[@delta3675]

The vocals are just amazing

[@camerongilbert1257]

The problem is that it’s so short on vocals and you’re expecting another Verse and then a drop, but they go totally off formula, then the song ends… and then you watch it 26 more times because you NEED more

[@AbstractPuppet]

how is it possible to make such a good atmosphere and ambiant song and to still be heavy

[@yellowsaurus4895]

@Prozakhistan meh, it was pretty boring imo, especially considering its 7 minutes long

[@munegeek2459]

Heavy?)

[@AbstractPuppet]

@@munegeek2459 yes, a song doesn't need destructive breakdowns and demon screams to be heavy

[@munegeek2459]

@@AbstractPuppet yeah, heavymetal and hardrock are heavy too. They have heavy- and -rock in them so it is really so. I understand. And trap metal is very heavy too of course.

One word: Jaws

[@KidKat__]

If you're expecting heavy banger after heavy banger, you might be thrown off. They have a lot of chill songs (nothing wrong with that), but it's not all heavy. Their discography is solid though, nothing short of amazing.

Been with sleep token since Nazareth, love to see that they’re this big. WORSHIP! 🤘🏻

Saw these guys at Download festival last weekend, here in the UK. They killed it - great set. Hadn’t heard of em before but deffo listening to em a lot now. 👍

George Lever engineered Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb. He's an incredibly talented engineer and producer, and is doing things in the metal world that are completely new and mind blowing. His name needs to be known for sure. Absolutely love Sleep Token, and this whole new moody metal genre!

Thank you for talking about Sleep Token. Your videos have been recommending them to me and out of curiosity i listened to "the summoning" and now i'm hooked! But "alkaline" is my fave so far! Ps: i discovered a lot of new bands ever since i found your channel 2 years ago brother. Thank you!

I just discovered them the other day. Incredible band, and the mystery identity I think is so cool.

The structure of their songs, Vessel's voice, all of the musicians (esp the drummer), how they mix the songs, Vessel's lyrics - everything about Sleep Token is flawless. Worship. If you haven't seen the Video 'Blood Sport (from the room below)' you are missing out.
