Metal Singer Hears Sleep Token For The First Time

[@liamcaswell2118]

> Tries to do a faithful sightread of Granite > Accidentally makes "What if Chris Cornell wrote Granite" Never change

[@christiandauz3742]

Cornell and the lead singer of Nirvana would have found Sleeptoken interesting Beautiful music inspire other beautiful music Hurt by NiN/Johnny Cash

[@francf6819]

@liamcaswell2118 I was about to say that

[@ShieldYoung]

​@@christiandauz3742Hey are there any rules about not saying Kurt's name that I'm not aware of

[@BastetMusic]

@@christiandauz3742 Oh shit. Now I'm just imagining Cobain vibing to Sleep Token, and that checks out

[@oviate1]

My thoughts exactly

[@Khazyel]

Love The Way You Lie in the style of Sleep Token

[@trashyspeeds266]

That sounds like it could actually be very good

[@ManTheRampartsBaby]

Woah, that sounds sick acfually

[@Melancholic_Tiger]

Hear us out, Anthony

[@Mayan321]

OH YEAH PLEASE

[@sagewallace]

YES

[@TheErazar]

My jaw dropped when I realised you did figure out the song! Props

[@KainYusanagi]

YES. PLEASE DO THIS MORE. I'll be honest, never heard Sleep Token before, but I just LOVE the whole concept of Drumeo, taking a song you don't know and listening to the music and then working out how you'd introduce the part you do; in their case, drums, in yours, vocals.

[@KainYusanagi]

Also, fucking love your vocal arrangement still, even if you prefer his, yours is great!

[@KainYusanagi]

Also also, don't downplay your ear for music so much; the way the backing music goes is a huge tell for vocals, and you keyed in on that as you were going.

[@sintaxera]

Sleep token are great, you should check them out if you like *checks notes* every genre of music. Sometimes in the same song

[@Anjel1e]

I love Sleep Token! I hope you give em a try.

[@dillonmitchell3342]

Got to enjoy this beauty before that copyright claim takes it away

[@CristianKirk]

Ehm...That's not how copyright claims work.

[@Vivi_9]

@@CristianKirk neeeeeeeerd!

[@abeginnerspov5968]

Claim doesn't take it away. Strike does.

[@Sweetoos_]

listen to the whole album, it fkn deserves, you won't be disappointed

[@cloud-ib2xz]

imo its their worst album, sounds to artificial

[@JustStopPlayingGames]

I've listened to the whole album so many times. It's so good.

[@earthscorcher]

Honestly, I love your version, too. It almost sounds like Chris Cornell covering Sleep Token.

[@ryansanow3276]

If you haven’t heard them already, songs like Aqua Regia, DYWTYLM, and Euclid are amazing

[@StrobeFireStudios]

Euclid and Aqua Regia are just sublime

[@Anjel1e]

You hand picked my favourite songs. 😊

[@thedangerturtle125]

How did he almost nail the melody 😮 Truly astonishing

[@astrolopitekos]

My favorite thing on these videos is how one gets the feeling how raw vocals come to be and then I am just blown away by how much work bands put into production to flesh out the tiniest of details.

[@herrschniedler4207]

Will see Sleep Token live soon, very excited!!

[@virtuex10]

Next Week for me!

[@levoldunom]

I’d love to see them live

[@JustStopPlayingGames]

I'm so jealous. Oh my god.

[@ademusicita]

Tuesday for me heheheh

[@blueluminos]

Saw them live twice. Its an incredible show

[@Alicia.Marie.13]

Most bands have a very specific style the use. Makes it easier to guess how the lyrics would be sung. You sounded great! I for sure never heard that song and I'm going to add it to my Playlist on Spotify now 😂

[@mbgreenleaf]

I'm currently in my ST Era, which basically means I am not listening to anything else - hyper fixation, anyone? This scratched an itch I didn't know I had. Thanks 💚

[@baconeggcheesecroissant]

Me too 😅

[@kristenenglehart8982]

I’m right there with ya

[@ademusicita]

me 😭

[@ryanmalyszka1075]

Yea, same. But it’s become an unhealthy and lengthy addiction

[@003bsgj]

Wow, I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out at first, but damn dude, I really enjoyed your take on that. It made me think of what would Chris Cornell do?

[@t_writer17]

So good! You weren’t getting it at first but by the chorus/pre-chorus, I was starting to see it.

[@brandonb.5304]

That was a cool, man. And Vessel definitely has a love for 90s R&B because his vocal delivery and runs are so similar to what you'd hear in R&B songs from that era. I always think of Sleep Token as R&B metal because they love to blend both styles together.

[@Dayleofthedead]

There’s a band called Red that you may not have heard much of. They are kind of breaking Benjamin/linkin park style you could try their song sever :) it’s one of my faves of theirs

[@StormRulerKazunagi]

RED MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥

[@GabrielAmorim86]

OMG RED!!! Breath into me!!!

[@Metalhead4theSavior]

I LOVE RED'S MUSIC!!

[@brendanhogan2002]

YES!! More Red! My favorite band, have gotten to see them 3 times so far.

[@nimish123n]

Top 5 band for me!

[@The.Void.Dragon]

i've been listening to this album nonstop for months and it's giving me whiplash to hear this but this is so fun lol

[@tastesawesome]

Dude, you got like 90% there. That was super impressive!

[@egp014]

You should definitely try this with Invent, Animate- Heavener

[@Skiptags]

YES

[@gdj20]

DOUBLE YES

[@illenium1202]

Yes

[@mikeormoab]

yes

[@isaace8090]

Adding my yes here also.

[@TheGuyFromSpace]

This is so impressive, great version and so close to original!

[@frankiekurtz2734]

You're sleeeeeeeeeeeping on this album if you're this late listening to it. Instant classic!

[@xxtz2007xx]

I find myself describing these guys as "Dark R&B", they're not specifically a Metal band, per se, but they're fluent in its language and putting it towards a different purpose that I find myself vibing with even though I don't typically enjoy R&B in its own right.

[@SolarWraith]

After he described their pattern I thought of R&BM...but Dark R&B fits quite nicely.

[@d1rkSMATHERS]

I always sing the lyrics of Hit Me Baby One More Time in place of Chokehold's lyrics. It works so well.

[@garrett1282]

Sleep Token is my favorite band currently for the last year or so

[@FacelessMage117]

Same, I have always loved a variety of music, and Sleep Token is such an amazing shift from the typical metal band. I have always loved genre-blended metal. Static X has long been a favorite, and for several years Trivium was my favorite, but I love stuff like Celldweller, Scandroid(if you don't know is Klayton from Celldweller, but synthwave) and so so many others. 12 ft Ninja in many ways reminds of Sleep Token, but obviously in sillier and less self-serious way. But for the last year or two, Sleep Token has been my favorite, almost everything they release is as an absolute vibe.

[@ssj2kenshin]

great song. its slowly becoming my favorite band

[@dreamcat4]

personally found it lovely your rendition of this song and the themes in the lyrics were interesting too then that the heavy part was kick ass too dont really know anything about the band themselves just really niice to hear you singing it ! was awesome for the personal happiness things to sing along with love you! mr vincent

[@christiandauz3742]

I suggest The Love you want

[@Fubbernutt]

Band is good enough to have an insane cult following. I am one of them and I highly recommend lol.

[@jaru13rapper]

i thank you for existing and sharing your love for music

[@nathalievandijk]

Went to a psych today for all my comorbidities with adhd. Got gaslighted and am devestated. Currently in the mother of all burnouts. And then this video popped up. I have come to discover i gravitate towards like minded kind, honest people like you. Your message at the beginning was creepy, though. Gonna give it a try. Maybe. I kinda given up after 49 years. This was my last hope today. Dunno. I'm al over the place. But i did enjoy this video. So, thanks for that.

[@spazzologist]

You got this bro. Don’t let those people try to convince you that you have a problem. It’s all good 😊

[@HelenNetoken]

As a huge ST fan this was pretty darn good!…so close in some chords!..really nice 🫶🏻🖤

[@BlackSheepCheckMyMusic]

I really dig this series! Keep them coming=}

[@Monius13]

Wasn't quite there, but there's something addictive about your take on this one! I really like your version, too.

[@BeeMcDee]

Love this. Agree that they have a bit of a ‘formula’ to their songs, and (without being a music player myself) I feel like they give enough rhythm clues to figure out where the spaces are. My favourite breakdown/drop of theirs is in Hypnosis. Even after listening to it ad nauseam, it still takes my brain a second to find the 4/4 beat because the rests are so irregular. 😜 *What* they do isn’t that technical or niche. It’s *how* they do it - using the full sound spectrum, and Vessel’s lyrical genius - that makes them so addictive.

[@Dnote113]

I love this song and I'm writing this at 3:12 to say that you may not have it "right" but I LOVE what you're doing with it! You're insanely talented!

[@motherofspiders763]

This was great! Whether you never heard Granite before or forgot you had was still a fun exercise and would love to see you do this again.

[@Th3BadThing]

This is fanastic, really love seeing the thought process and how you interpret things differently. Ill suggest 2 bands and songs you're less likely to have heard: Living the crash - I Am Giant Lethean - Katatonia

[@RXBRReacts]

Keep doing this type of video, it's simple but is so good!

[@spacebadger21]

AV makes this song sound like a 70's or 80's R&B song.

[@ShushildaSims]

I like this format. It's a pity there haven't been any songs I've heard before to immediately catch the differences in your version. But this is interesting too! Maybe try Zeal & Ardor? Their music is unique, and it would make for an interesting challenge.😊

[@martonex14]

So stoked you chose Granite

[@NahIamgood]

Loved it! I'm always amazed by how talented you are and sleep token was a great choice

[@t4sh4._.4ndre4s]

I was waiting so long for this!

[@lunethias]

Oh, you did one of my most favorite songs off of their newest album! And interpreted it quite close too! Been really enjoying these videos! Vessel's really hard to try and sing like, no one should feel bad for it. Because yes, he is very unique!

[@levoldunom]

I try to sing his songs at karaoke (“Sugar” is my favorite) and can confirm singing his stuff is different.

[@JD1886]

Vessel sounds like he's gargling water while singing

[@LuisGarcia-rx5zj]

I really liked your version. Works very well with the song

[@philrosadohtd4life147]

That was so close how you almost did it as them but different. I like how you adapt and change up styles. Cool, keep em coming

[@ChaseOrdonis]

Whether you heard it or not I think doesn't matter, I just love seeing how you process and go about putting a song together with lyrics and music. It's super cool. Also Sleep Token is my top artist right now, next to Utada Hikaru, Hadestown muscial, and Chrono Cross OST. I find ppl into them are into many types of genre so i'm not surprised you're willing to try this with other songs.

[@MariaKrasyuk]

Fantastic new series with exercise❤️‍🔥 As always! Solfeggio is fun! Amazing how your version is close to original, but beginning is different. And I prefer yours👑 All singing was super beautiful.. I'm captivated. Thank you for open new music to us🦋 To let the arrangement to show yourself in all beauty. With vocal It's not so noticeable. I suggest to try AOR and Melodic styles - good challenge for vocal. XYZ - Off The Sun, The Brave - Running All My Life, Blue Murder - Valley Of The Kings, Q5 - Steel The P.S. Special thanks for reverb.. My favorite🌹

[@di2071]

It's actually impressive how close the rap part gets to the original. Love me some sleep token!

[@paulbellaby]

I love their song are you really ok, its very moving.

[@originaljk555]

I love Sleep Token. Sleep Theory’s Fallout (Reimagined) would be awesome to hear your attempt. Love your work. Keep it coming.

[@gavinmoore7255]

Cracking Video whether it was already in your Brain or not! Well played sir!

[@CactuCactus]

I definitely love those videos, it's sooooo intersting to watch, congrats !! Maybe you could try Jinjer for a next one

[@TehZombish]

Awesome first run though... And no shade at all, it sounds like if Chris Cornell wrote a sleep token song... now I kinda wanna hear that. Chris Cornell sings sleep token. I bet he would have loved them. RIP. Anthony, you always kill it! I think this could be a super neat series.

[@davetorres8529]

Listening to sleep token I hear little elements of Kanye west, gospel, NiN, even a little pinch of dubstep, but it doesn’t sound forced or gimmicky, just catchy and beautiful

[@gisellebonilla1336]

This man is what music is made of... talented af

[@redplanet8359]

This should turn into a series that will feature different singers/vocalist and they should also have the freedom to write their lyrics. 🙌🏽 I’d love to get into the minds of different vocalist and how they interpret instrumentals.

[@ryntrinity]

Omg that was sooo close! that's awesome!

[@Keyblade11master]

Hey man, love your content. I 'd love to see chop suey in the style of muse, I think you 'd nail it!

[@edelwiess2306]

I’m impressed! That was so close! 👏👏👏

[@taraduddy7687]

I loved your version!

[@jimmydean7219]

This was very entertaining. Great content. Would love to hear your take on basically any Chris Stapleton song.

[@fiveangrybunnies1470]

Love sleep token and love you! Great video 💯💕

[@swedishtime6910]

I mean..if u listening to music long enough and heard 2 albums of Sleep Token - u probably hear em all anyway. What matters is that u tried so hard and got so much. But in the end it doesn't even matter. Enjoying that exercise a lot Anthony, much love ❤

[@forgingluck]

I love sleep token. Only recently got introduced to them by Opal in Sky's shorts.

[@cyberpunk3116]

Opal in sky is awesome

[@Grimfel]

Wow this was incredible man

[@ibpants]

I've only heard a couple of Sleep Token songs, but I'm almost certain their singer is Dan Smith because my wife used to listen to Bastille a lot, and I too find Sleep Token's vocals kind of fit a template.

[@thecreatonaut6165]

Did a great job!! I think the pace was really close.

[@Richie_Godsil]

It's actually pretty cool hearing the song reinterpreted and rearranged by another artist

[@CHVSE77]

I like your “but I am, I am” version

[@heathervalentine2196]

Nailed the chorus! Even if the "but I am" was different, it still could have been a Sleep Token sound

[@alet5365]

I enjoy this format

[@eduardosanta678]

Here the list of future bands I would like to see in this kind of video: Nirvana, The Doors, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, The Beatles

[@lovehatetragedy823]

I don't care if you heard it before or not, you did great 👌🏾 👍🏾.

[@Stephain]

If Soundgarden were ever to do some sort of reunion I would lowkey riot if they didn't get Anthony to do the vocals.

[@WoofWoofinson]

You should do this with Sleep Token’s other songs Vore or The Apparition!

[@blunderbass851]

Hold Back the River by James Bay in the style of BMTH

[@gammafrost107]

Do Video Games in the style of Sleep Token, please.

[@wolvetica]

You need to give Vola's new album a listen, each song has an epic vibe

[@sheendrummerboy]

Summer Gone from AWS - Hungarian band with english lirycs.

[@EzPulsy]

You did great. Please do the same thing with the band Issues if you're not familiar with their stuff

[@ricardoremedio2716]

This was impressive i gotta say!

[@bruhder5854]

Never heard of this song but I'll be honest, I prefer your version of it

[@devcor]

5:24 wow, that was really close!

[@jktalania]

Also in 6:10

[@der_vicus]

Sisters of Mercy's Temple of Love in the style of Iron Maiden

[@Howuf]

Really good educated guess. Right on.

[@JaymeeLouOrdonio]

I remember Nothing But Thieves to that song. Listen to Futureproof, If I were you, if you like it too my favorite 😊. I like that granite 😊

[@nicolaisidek]

Genuine surprised how close you were.

[@iikittycatii]

would love to see you try this with a Periphery song! some songs by them that i think would be fun to try are 22 Faces, The Bad Thing, Scarlet, The Way The News Goes..., Garden In The Bones, It's Only Smiles, Prayer Position, Atropos, Wax Wings, Alpha, Stranger Things, Feed The Ground, Rainbow Gravity

[@vladdycutefluffy]

Never listened to sleep token til today at work. Checked out Take Me Back To Eden. Really enjoyed it.

[@TB-sp9jy]

What a wonderful day to Worship ❤

[@SunDiegoRockStar]

Nice job man.

[@jonathanmacarthur6924]

I would love to hear a periphery version of this 👀

[@vikingkermit]

There's a really small up and coming band in the UK called Pryma. They're awesome and you definitely won't have heard their stuff. Their song Dead to me would be a good one for you to do.

[@pufferzsola69]

"I know how Sleep Token writes their songs" ! *misses it completely :D* Still, a great cover of their song!

[@21bifox]

You sounded great regardless :]

[@collusions9425]

I never clicked on a video so quick

[@t4sh4._.4ndre4s]

Seriously each time I got a notification from his videos I was hoping its this I still can't believe its happening

[@RandomCrewPotatoSoup]

you should try a progressive metal song. something from Periphery, Haken, or Leprous. all very vocal-heavy bands

[@turboflush]

You learn the style. I can identify allot of new songs just by their style. And I am not a musician. And yes there is a chance you heard the song. . Passing by someone, in a store, radio.. who knows.

[@OleksandrNurzhanov]

Man, you are doing crazy, fun to watch and really difficult job here, awesome! Try "Watch the World Burn by Falling In Reverse"

[@Peaceful_Rayne]

Id love to hear you do a cover of a Sonata Arctica song! Also this rocks!
