SLEEP TOKEN “The Summoning” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction

[@Oooky_Spooky]

“it’s gonna come back with a crushing breakdown” NO ONE EXPECTED THEM TO BRING THE ✨FUNK✨

[@nattal4179]

The funniest thing about that is Nath's reaction. Johnny is like, breakdown incoming! but he's like nah. And he looks so proud of himself only to go "wait what the hell?" immediately after lmao

[@nattal4179]

7:42 here's the exact moment

[@PerryTDOO]

The amazing thing is that last 2 minutes is the same verse and pre chorus from the beginning of the song, presented in TOTALLY different way.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

yeah, my reading of the song is that it's literally a summoning in real-time: section 1: the incantation / prayer for an encounter of "the divine", worship section 2: shit gets heavy / brutal, we're not in Kansas anymore, worship gets more ecstatic section 3: going through the veil (ambient section) section 4: "the other side", intimacy / sexy time encounter with the divine

[@markmoore618]

Damn. That's crazy. Doubt anyone would've figured that out without this comment lol. Did you also catch how the song starts with music and ends with less music? Crazy stuff

[@PerryTDOO]

@markmoore618 You are sat at home, replying to people trying to be contrary. Calm yourself.

[@ainzaida477]

Ikr😂 but soooo good🥹

[@QuantumFeldspar]

@Mr. Ry i agree, people find little things amazing hahah

[@XbLTryHard]

Sleep Token is the musical equivalent of 'never let them know your next move'.

[@T4Rlvr]

Haha cause we really never know their next move

[@sacreblegh8929]

Im confident they could make a whole funk album and it would be fuckin fantastic

[@swimwiththedead]

Baby making music.

[@TriciaPooh01]

GOD I NEED IT

[@erinraecowin]

Funkin fantastic, even

[@bruins2821]

Naths reaction on the funk drop is comedy. Giggled realizing johnny was wrong on the drop but then it immediately hit HIM just how surprisingly wrong he was 7:42

[@chrisp.14]

Imagine you are in public transport and you listen to the ending of this song and just want to undress, hahahaha!

[@nathandjohnny]

We don’t suggest that, but let us know how it goes!

[@voodooogaming]

7:35 "It's just come back with a crushing breakdown" Lol

[@Th3BadThing]

"Oh that's sexy as shit" Unapologetically Aussie and I love it lmao

[@HLA302]

Sleep token has a hold on me… hahah one of my favourite bands right now. “Fuck that’s sexy as shit” literally my reaction to the end 😂 the song goes hard & his vocals are wicked! Much love from Vancouver ❤

[@GCoWife]

The quiver in his voice is something I cannot get enough of. I’ve not been this buzzed over a song in a long time! It’s epic.

[@petemartyn]

Watching Johnny call for a crushing breakdown and then getting the FUNK warms my heart honestly!

[@MrBlakeD82]

4:43 I said the same thing when I heard this for the first time. These guys definitely took the Dream Theater lesson to heart.

[@walltimore]

Producer: What do you guys want to write today? Sleep Token: Yes.

[@hatedfollower]

Sleep token has become my favorite band in just the past week. I just found them after this release and can’t stop listening

[@jon2986]

Cannot wait to see Johnny’s reaction to the end of this song. So stoked y’all are back!!

[@anaclaraduarte2835]

Me 2 🤣🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

[@michellematthews8312]

The end of this song gives me an eargasim 🤣

[@Andrew_-nr7zt]

same lol

[@swimwiththedead]

The best quote. 👌 "fuck,... thats sexy as shit."

[@williamsummerson1204]

Great reaction guys. Sleep Token is a special band. This song is perfection. Vessel's voice is unreal and soul piercing.

[@InkAndPoet]

It kinda reminds me of Hozier.

[@FullCampColby]

This song says "it's gonna get weird , but trust me. You'll like it."

[@dewrules235]

Never heard a Sleep Token song before this one came out. I've been hooked ever since.

[@JPSchulzy82]

Sleep Token is like Spiritbox. The more I listen to them the more I like them. All five songs they have released are incredible! Pre-ordered their new album on vinyl!

[@barryclark6119]

"Fuck, that's sexy as shit!" Yeah, he gets it. LOL

[@XeRo333]

II is such a phenomenal drummer! Very precise and lots of tone in his sound.

[@kristianwilson1991]

This band has its own genre, it’s now officially “HornyCore” 🫠

[@gregkoenig1614]

“We’re halfway through the song.” -That’s fun

[@mack2132]

I need the last 2 minutes extended into an entire song i can’t get enough of it

[@darrengee936]

this bromance is exactly what the world needs right now. Oh and the song is a banger

[@littletommy69]

The creativity of this band is out of this universe!

[@TenaciousJoe24]

Love that bluesy funky section! Hope they have more of this in their album!

[@ericarodriguez662]

His voice is a joy to listen to every single time. High notes, low notes, screams, it's alllll 🔥AF!! And the end of this song is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 And now just patiently waiting for reaction videos to new Axty and Periphery🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Carry on!

[@chrisjayne4746]

Re: visualisers. They’re touring and I think they just wanted to get some of their new stuff out there to drive hype. And it’s REALLY worked.

[@riccardo_masut]

Deftones + Tool = Sleep Token

[@lc81002]

Chunk Token to Funk Token, hell yes! I want more!

[@TheWanderingCheetahCam]

This is why I love music

[@harefrken1053]

When that sexy vibe sets in towards the end there aii! Such a treat of a song, going to listen to this a 100 more times now 🤘🏻

[@AbhilashPotharaju]

No sleeves, just guns 😁 Great reaction guys! Love the direction Sleep Token are taking. The production and mix on these two songs has been amazing too.

[@wheetbread1]

At the risk of getting yelled at, the vocals sounds like a rougher/heavier/grittier vocal of Kings of Leon singer and its amazing, especially the last funk part it resembles him as well. and the breakdown was a banger ❤‍🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stephenairey4952]

I see what you mean, but I'm hearing a stronger resemblance to the singer from Bastille

[@benbrown007]

Seeing them in couple weeks. Can't wait!

[@ishlaud83]

Sleep Token ❤ this band is giving me life!

[@YetSoBroken]

"Fuck, that's sexy as shit".... exact same reaction 🤣 The whole ride on this song was smooth...

[@TurtlesC4nFly]

I have had this song on repeat since it came out, it's a masterpiece!

[@camilabrites7656]

I guess this is one of the bests songs I ever heard in my entire life

[@olegmcrussian245]

The most funny thing about you guys that your headbanging in the different timings 😂 7/8 and 5/4😅👍🏻 love your reactions 🔥

[@bluegrassjoe2413]

Been looking forward to you guys reacting to this one. Such a good song.

[@bevbash68]

🤣🤣🤣🤣great reaction! This is weird but brilliant as well, to be fair he could sing the phone directory and it would be good. Baby making music deffo 😆

[@timriley4543]

This song, its instrumentation, production, vocals and its overwhelming power just blew the earphones right out the back of my brain. It's pretty goddamn amazing. The band has talent in spades. I'm a fan.

[@koenv306]

Johnny looking into the camera after saying "we like a long one"... I can't 😂 also this song is just so good! Can't wait to see them live this Sunday 🔥

[@agreen67]

Been waiting for this all week! 🖤

[@avahxnley685]

i feel like i misread this song bc with the title being "The Summoning" i sort it assumed it was abt them summoning smth but it feels more like Vessel is singing from the POV of what is being summoned

[@johnsharplin]

My hopes for this album could not be higher. The funky last minute is possibly some of my favorite work from them thus far.

[@shona5512]

I love heavies and I love when Sleep Token gives us a taste of the heavies.. But damn I'd be lying if I said that the final 2 minutes aren't my favourite part. So sexy.

[@tylerjenkins7806]

the FUNK bro

[@sesh517]

Worship🙏

[@juice_ten]

I absolutely FROTH the first half of the song. If Sleep Token released a full album that sounded like that first half, I’d be playing it on repeat and throwing it up for AOTY contender. I personally feel like that last minute of the song could’ve been it’s own track to break up the album with something different but running with a continuous theme (like Bad Omens most recent album for example) and it would’ve been a great thing!

[@christofts857]

Can’t wait to vibe to this live a week Saturday. That ending is pure joy.

[@the_wilson_smh]

At Brixton?

[@the_wilson_smh]

Nvm it's Bristol right?

[@christofts857]

@@the_wilson_smh that’s the one dude, Bristol O2 Academy w/ Northlane.

[@koenv306]

Duuuude hyped! I'll be seeing them in the Netherlands with Northlane AND Tesseract AND Architects 🤤🔥

[@the_wilson_smh]

@@christofts857 Ah I'm going to the one in Brixton 😂

[@codyallen9188]

This is one of my favorite drops by them it's great!

[@RootedMystic]

there's a reason this one's shot to #1 of Sleep Token's "Top Songs" on Pandora 🤩 🤘🏻

[@andresamell9367]

What a banger! Great job guys!

[@twall91]

Single talk aside… we’re definitely getting a new Sleep Token album! Take Me Back To Eden will be a contender for AOTY

[@ChrispyBacon2234]

I can imagine this song fitting so well with visuals of Jinx from Arcane

[@norahdenovan8658]

Masterpieces, utterly brilliant ❤

[@lillyannrodriguez2518]

Love both of their new songs!! 🖤🔥🖤🔥

[@freelot5133]

The "Was I alive?" got me lmao

[@MetalBere]

It's a masterpiece

[@kierangohrt]

The hype is real

[@XandycamX]

Good to have you back lads

[@Bonz-vc8zd]

This band is so damn talented it’s almost like they’re gifted from a dark Entity…🤔

[@australianwi-fi]

THE Entity?? Vessel in Dead by Daylight confirmed

[@chriswillemstein2544]

This song gives me chills ❤

[@Paleface23]

These dudes are so unique, love it 😮😮❤

[@yourmatejay]

Wonder if the tour with northlane and plini was an influence here Breakdowns with screams & the synths - northlane Funky solo and change at the end - plini One things for sure - it’s bringing in tons of new fans and I’m all for it!

[@juanpaneiro8496]

Dream theater part is so funny

[@benlacey6429]

Sickest riff, pure musicianship this song. Hey Nath I know you give zero friggs but that thick af mo & bowl cut combo is woe woe

[@coloradoruffneck4230]

Johnny looking like every member of Super Troopers in one with the stashe lol this song fucking slaps

[@nathandjohnny]

*nathan

[@gutterpeach]

‘I like to be controlled.. that came out weird’ fucking sent me hahahah. This song is my new favourite!

[@nathandjohnny]

Standard Johnny

[@MetalRock92]

Do it, Johnny.

[@RyeRyeL]

3:53 was exactly my reaction the first listen too :D

[@chloestarshine]

Yes to the silver hair!

[@unLUCKY95]

I get your point even though I do listen to a lot of music. Going back 10 years or so I'd listen to an album at a time, but now because Spotify makes it so easy to make playlists and I find most new music through KZbin I don't really do that any more unless it's a band that I really like. The only full albums I've listened to in the last year have been from Electric Callboy and Dance Gavin Dance, and even then I've only listened through a couple of times when the album came out and added the handful of songs that grabbed me straight away to my regular playlist. It's something I've always done, I used to buy albums then pick my favourite songs and burn them all onto one CD, but obviously back then you had a limit on the amount of songs you could add so you had to be more careful how you chose and if you really fancied listening to a song that wasn't on your mixtape you'd have to go back to the album it was on, but again, Spotify makes it easy by giving you an unlimited playlist so if you suddenly get a song in your head that you didn't add you can just do it in seconds. Plus most of the time you can just hear what are inevitably going to be the best songs on KZbin, go "yep, that one" and add it, so you don't feel as inclined to listen to the whole album even if you have the time to. Wow that was long, sorry to any one who got bored reading.

[@nathandjohnny]

Never apologise for discussing music here friend

[@koenv306]

Good point! Though to be fair I do like the ambience or vibe some albums set when listened to front to back. That's why I also never shuffle an album. I generally tend to switch between playlists and albums depending in how much of one artist I'm down for in that moment.

[@danrmetal]

You boys make me LOL 😆 Do the grey thing Johnny..

[@N1yaw]

You are so right about people's attention span getting not only reduced, but literally destroyed by social networks like tiktok. This is so dammm sad ......

[@HellSpartanZ]

They was like it's time to get funky

[@FullCampColby]

Excellent point about short attention spans. The days of soaking up an hour+ record are sort of fading off. A lot of records seem to try to pump out singles and continuity isn't as important as it's all about playlists these days.

[@emptycloud2774]

Sleep Token are on the rise.

[@Tyler108x]

Okay, but like te vibe section of my brain woke up today,its vibecore from dust til dawn now, also I demand that Nath and Johnny get tiktok famous for everything between 7:35 and 7:57. Right now, Im serious

[@max-yasgur]

The funk breakdown is pure sexy time 😏

[@krumpetkrumbs2040]

Darko US dropped more music, and one of the tracks features Landon Tewers! Hopefully, they will release a video for you boys to react to.

[@debbiewilson4484]

I feel like I want to comment on every single video you guys have done… and ask that you react to Euclid!!! It’s completely mind blown me. And I will be checking daily for you guys to upload a reactions! Please! 🎉

[@aclusterofstars]

Johnny just says what we're all thinking

[@TJTV1]

Shoot the shit with Nath and Johnny, with the occasional reaction mixed in for good measure.

[@nathandjohnny]

You GET IT!

[@zachcenate]

No tricks. No sleeves.

[@kustomkure]

Phew, it's a good thing I just finished Savage River. I wound't have understood anything otherwise.

[@bradleypaton5951]

S&M&M's... Gotta buy myself some of those

[@CrypticlyEncrypted]

I always listen to albums, I listened to like 286 albums in 2022 lol

[@WillowMcTree]

Always love some Sleep Token. Y'all heard of a band called Hanabie? They're an all girl band from Japan and their latest single is amazing. It's called Osaki Ni Shitsureishimasu (お先に失礼します). In English, it means Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now.

[@nathandjohnny]

We reacted to “I love sweets”

[@WillowMcTree]

@@nathandjohnny Oh cool! I'll check out that reaction! I actually just found the band on TikTok and haven't heard that song yet.

[@davitcandra9736]

​@@nathandjohnnyyou GAY??

[@resolutrial_]

15:46 CRACK

[@K1NGD0M]

I agree with you Nath, bands will 100% be dropping more singles than albums. Axty's been doing it as of late, but I'm assuming an album is coming.

[@codyallen9188]

Also you 2 need to check out both Periphery's new drops they are amazing.

[@beepeeify]

Pu -push it real good

[@prototype102010]

In terms of that last convo, I think we’ll see more bands just release singles until the album is out, like sundowning by sleep token, what falling in reverse is doing I think? And what The Wise Man’s Fear (awesome band you should check out) just finished.

[@gabbiespeirs8926]

thank you soo much for the Rick Astley bit guys

[@wreckumwaterfowl2727]

I wanna get into sleep token but haven’t been able too, but this is killer. Any songs similar to this I can dive into?

[@haventfoundapseudoyet9331]

Honestly they are all so different.... But maybe higher and gods would be a good start, with alkaline!

[@miss5sos192]

Me and Mt boyfriend listened to this at the same time qnd smirked and said baby making music
