MY FIRST TIME LISTENING TO | Sleep Token - Granite | (REACTION!!!)

[@mack2132]

“Sulfur on your breath, granite in my chest” I assume that means the other person speaks poisonous words but Vessel’s heart is now made of stone.

[@ryansecakuku9312]

Yeah that’s what I took form it also. All the hurtful harmful word have turned him to stone and more to the point his heart.

[@marcellouspaige5127]

And also in science, sulfur degrades granite overtime and breaks it apart

[@ryansecakuku9312]

@@marcellouspaige5127 now this adds way more layers to it.

[@marcellouspaige5127]

@@ryansecakuku9312 factual lol, it makes me think that her voice and the passion in her actions that my have caused breaks in his defenses overtime which means his heart or chest of granite

[@ryansecakuku9312]

@@marcellouspaige5127 I take as a dual meaning. With your insight I see it more like she speaks with passion and at times anger that turned his heart to stone but as you say the Sulphuric aspect of her words also in turn start to make his heart brittle and break. The song to me is about over all soulmates who don’t coincide with the end goal. But ultimately they were made for each other. He was more than just somebody in her passenger seat and he was more than just somebody to meet. They were destined to learn from each other but instead changed it other for the worse. The pain of what should have been but was never able to be must be unbearable.

[@Nonya12608]

Sulfur breaks down granite. Her words are destroying his heart.

[@LedaXI]

The Love You Want, Descending, The Way That You Were, When The Bough Breaks, The Offering, Take Aim, Higher, Dark Signs (all of them honestly, every single song)

[@jonosmith4919]

England is SLEEP TOKEN 🥁🥁🥁❤️

[@decimonster]

Sleep Token has so many body rolling songs. lol

[@xVoLxPaYnE]

You'd like Dark Signs from their first album.

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@cristycarlton4547]

This was the second song I heard from them and it has been my absolute most favorite (with Euclid and High Water creeping in super close) since I first heard it. I *love* it! Great reaction!

[@AbsurdToastling]

"Take Aim" is a favorite of mine from their very first album. You haven't heard a song like it by them yet.

[@The.Dinkster]

Super underrated track!

[@nnunghi]

Each of their songs is a work of art. Vessel knows what he's doing) I highly recommend "Rain", another great song from this album (as well as any of their songs) thank you for your reaction!!

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

I defo will check it out ty for putting me on 🙏🏾

[@yades6189]

The Apparition

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

😂😂😂 Yeah, we complain when we see a song might be to long, but with Sleep Token it's never long enough 😅. One of my favorite lyrics of this song is "you gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave".... Man, thats probably one of the best ways to describe a couple of bad relationships I've had. Yes, Vessel is a poet for sure. You should check out Chokehold, The Apparition, Rain. Giing further back in their catalog The Offering, Dark Signs, Higher, Sugar, Atlantic, Hypnosis, The Love You Want, Alkaline. They're so good you wont go wrong no matter what you pick. Stay safe. Worship ❤

[@stephendavis75]

Sleep is amazing live. Get there

[@oviate1]

You’ve heard enough and gotten a taste from bouncing around. Now go back to the beginning and listen to the whole story as Vessel intended. Start with the One and Two EPs. Then go through Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb and Take Me Back To Eden in their entirety. It’s a long and emotional journey but you won’t regret taking it.

[@miss__anthropy]

THIS. Once you've gotten a feel for the music, you need to go back to the beginning and listen from start to finish, because Vessel had a plan. There aren't a lot of artists where you need to listen from start to finish, but this is one of them!

[@alizz2775]

My jam!! Such a great song! Sad song definitely do Atlantic. I love Like That too. The drummer II said it’s his favorite song to play.

[@TB-sp9jy]

Oh what a treat! Worship ❤

[@heatherbennett4512]

Hypnosis, Decending, missing limbs, gods, sugar, dark signs, the offering.

[@scaprosim]

Yesss hypnosis was the song that got me into st

[@heatherbennett4512]

@scaprosim I was getting a root canal and I was showing the assistant Atlantic and hypnosis 🤣🤣 2 different songs but both ungodly beautiful

[@chrise13]

Worship

[@stevesummerell9722]

Your mind is going to explode when you hear Ascensionisn and take me back to Eden

That switch up is usually when iii makes a pit too ❤

[@jslady5662]

Loved the reaction! They're really an amazing mind-trip. Lol.(Do Like That)

[@wickedPrints3256]

ST is great! This song is my favorite by them.

[@BOLDgames]

sulfur on your breath is the toxic things she says, granite in his chest is his heart made of stone now - it is noteworthy at this point in the journey that sulfur destroys granite

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

🤯🤯🤯 seeing the verse in a different light now ..wow

[@toxxedgaming3885]

Deftones is their own thing. I don't think they tried to mix a lot of things, they just made music. Chino Moreno's voice was something....different. I don't think I'll ever hear anything quite like that

[@trevorprof]

You should listen to their whole discography front to back. But for one song, I'd say check out Give

[@Nichalorious]

If you like the RnB vibes check out Jericho from their EP Two

[@chloestarshine]

You should also check out the band Sleep Theory if you like that rnb mixed with rock/metal vibe!

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

!!!! 😮 I will add them to the list ty for putting me on to a new band friend

[@nickwelch3649]

You ready for Atlantic, please, such a masterpiece.

[@NickWaibel]

Sulfur on the breathe is referring to someone who drinks excessively and their breath gets a smell of rotten eggs (sulfur) because of digestive problems related to excessive use of

[@scottdixon4059]

You have to listen to asentionsionism for the r&b kick

[@tuckerdodson3338]

Now hold on, if we're going with anybody but Deftones pioneering RnB/metal, it still wasn't Vessel. While he may have mastered it, you should 100% give the band "Issues" a listen if you want RnB/metal done right, and a while ago. If you do give them a listen, I would check out Hooligans, Never Lose Your Flames, and Lost and Found.

[@gorlack0159]

“Sulfur on your breath”is actually talking about the other person drinking and or being an alcoholic bc alcohol can cause halitosis which makes your breath smell like well sulfur

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

😮🤔🤔

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

3:10 there are def other bands who did rnb vocals/instrumentals with metal/rock before Sleep Token, and specifically with a “core” sound, Issues were a huge one. It’s sort of what turned me away from ST originally because it was being talked about as such a “unique” thing, but it’s actually pretty common in newer melodic metalcore bands, so it sounded like they were just another more generic band to me. I just didn’t know how genuine Vessel’s love for those sounds were, and how they have full rnb/pop songs, not just the mixed ones! That to me proves a real love of/dedication to that sound, that they’re not scared of not being “metal enough”. And their sound has always mixed poppy/rnb influences, from the get go!

[@tonjaleaflows2913]

Not surw what youve heard or done yet but... Rain, dark signs, ascen sionism, chokehold. ( just for starters)

[@mkennedy319]

You should start at the beginning. EP ONE

[@iwad4]

If you like r&b you should react to the new album by khalid sincere

[@tommyjohnson43]

Deftones are similar in the “ shoegaze” type choruses , the more sonic sounding parts . Deftones wouldn’t have an r&b vibe imo .

[@ryannewman885]

It's pronounced granite

[@xVoLxPaYnE]

Are you sure it's not pronounced granite instead?

Well, I’m glad that confusion was cleared up for everyone! 😅

Deftones, great band. R&B core? Naw. Chino don’t even sing that way. Lots of ambient vibes, lots of varying textures, ultra hard at times. Definitely original.

Yeah the commenter was a lil off but I only listened to 1 song so far though

Listen to digital bath by deftones for a better idea

Gods is the most similar to deftones

Love the Sleep Token art in general. But Granite has some atmosphere... something inexplicably attractive about this song.capture my soul. P.s "get ready to receive EARgasm from every song😂" WORSHIP 🤘�🖤🔥
