Who else besides myself was introduced to Sleep Token from this channel and now absolutely love this band? Thank you Chase!

[@kentishandy]

I just have!!... 👍😝

[@najrenchelf2751]

Maybe me after this video!?

[@chilly2go]

@@jasonscreationsunlimited4161 oh they can do metal too. Check out their song Gods. It will show you a very different side to them.

[@ChaseCarneson]

This makes me very very happy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Xarah8]

Yep! Me 👋🏻. Right from Chase's first reaction to them. And I have introduced them to many people in my life. That's exactly as he says in the end, the beauty of reaction channels and great ones like this one in particular. The majority of my playlists is music I discovered here and I'm a different person since....

[@Istielthia]

Sleep Token just forces you to feel. You might not even be able to identify what you're feeling, but you know that its there.

[@WriterEvanMorgan]

This. I’m still recovering from a breakup that ruined me both emotionally and financially and it’s like Vessel is the only thing strong enough to put cracks in the fortress I’ve built around myself. I discovered this band a little over a month ago and it really feels like they are the only tether keeping me to my humanity. Forces you to feel is the perfect way to put it because I have no choice once I hit play with these guys. Even for someone that has stacks on stacks of complex trauma, Sleep Token reminds me that my emotions are still there, and they bring them forth in a way no band ever has before.

[@qwertyuiop32935]

I have bipolar disorder, and I’m so glad I discovered this band. I was going for the walk at night having felt numb for weeks. I bawled my eyes out when this song came on, and damn it felt so good. I’m inspired to pick up my saxophone again and start making more music. Sure it might just be another mood swing, but I feel motivated and I’m happy for that.

[@Anon-21j]

This is probably my favourite song from them. As someone who's a fan of both trap music and metal, that moment when the band kicks in is just MAGICAL.

[@ireladdy]

Chase: "What I would give to see them live... pick a limb." Sleep Token on their next album: Missing Limbs. Coincidence????

[@Nora-di9pw]

I know this is 2 years late, but ii’s interview with Drumeo shows him playing the percussion for this song. It’s such a treat ❤

[@ChaseCarneson]

I’ve seen a small snippet but o really should watch the whole thing. Incredible drummer

[@jessicar5748]

I am hoping 2021 brings us new Sleep Token music 🤞🏻

[@ChaseCarneson]

YES PLEASE!!!!!

Your wish has come true!

[@Mutant_X98]

Worship.

[@juliettemcgee9055]

The person who introduced you to this band must be a lovely one and (s)he knew you well- how the music touches and resonates within your self. Vessel's vocals are another thing, just otherworldly. Hope you've been having a damn good week so far 😊

[@ChaseCarneson]

I sure have ☺️. Hope yours has been a very lovely one too. 👌🙏

[@eiriknordahl5112]

This is my fav track actually. There is SO much going here, it's insane. The melodies and the harmony

[@beccamcdonough8226]

I swear. The way you close your eyes, touch your heart and smile, I react the SAME WAY every time I listen to them. Also get very emotional. Like you said before “it’s in my blood”. Beautiful shit!

[@Charlie_TU]

"The Night Does Not Belong To God" was the first song that I heard by them, and I must say it was a very good introduction

[@gustavolagosfotografia]

Same here 👍🏻

[@itsLeftyLucy]

Sleep Token - Nazareth

[@maddie22577]

I was blessed enough to see them on the Beautiful Oblivion tour in 2019, the ambiance of a Sleep Token show is something unexplainable. They are by far the best band I have ever seen live. Each member performs in ways you can’t put into words. They are so amazing, even more amazing live! Worship! 🖤

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Thank God! Sleep Token is DEFINITELY one of my favorite bands of ALL time as well. Unreal to find something new to take that space. Sundowning is a true masterpiece 💜🙏

[@weresorenflyin]

It’s just so cool to see someone connect with this band so strongly (as i do) and then be able to break them down technically with such great insight. Truly makes me love and appreciate the band even more and helps me as a musician overall. So thank you for these amazing vids Chase

[@mmurphy84]

I have had such a hard time getting people I know to love the band the way that I do. I really love watching you react to them and see you appreciate them the way I do and see the pure joy on your face when you check out a new track.

[@MegaLaban12345]

When The guitars kick in there at The end, hoooo boy

[@BlackHawk19er]

Dude, THE WAY THAT YOU WERE by sleep token...gorgeous

[@oh_hey_its_b]

This made me smile so big 😊😊😊 I fell in love with Sleep Token only shortly before I discovered your channel last year...let’s just say, you’ve completely enhanced my ongoing love for them. They make me feel SO much, SO hard. It’s intense. And listening to you do your awesome thing and speak about their brilliance? Psshh, it’s pure happiness overload, man. 🙏🏻❤️

[@josefgordon7712]

Just got Sundowning after being a fan for a year now since you introduced them to me. Now the trilogy is complete and it’s just everything. 🙏

[@StephGaudreauTV]

Dark Signs is probably in my top five ever from them. When you mention the sound panning at 5:10 - I can hear it now wow! One of the things I appreciate about your ST reactions is when you point out things like this. It gives me an even deeper appreciation for their mastery.

[@DanSkinny]

Sincerely appreciate you taking the time to react to this under appreciated song.

[@LexiPixeL_]

God I friggin love this song so much aaaaaaa. That break for the last chorus is so gnarly. On a musical level, everything about this speaks to me so, so much that it's hard to really try and condense it down to a little youtube comment. Vessel's little vocal flourishes, the rising or pulling back of the attack on the vocals, like on "i hate who i have become", that rising and falling, and the bits where he elongates and breaks certain syllables, or extends them for an extra 16th note, or gives it a triplet feel (similar to what's conventionally seen rhythmically in a lot of more ambient, ethereal dubstep tracks), adds so much, especially when they're used sporadically to set it apart from what was done the previous time it played. Now as far as that last chorus, omfg, everything about it is so incredible. I love that lead in where almost everything drops out, and that volume swell happens with the two bars marked only by the finger snaps on the beat. In the chorus itself, it might be easily overlooked, but the backing vocal from the other two choruses is pulled out and instead replaced with the airy vocal melody that kicked off the song and it rounds out that section so well, really bring the piece together, and I really love how the guitar in the back half of the chorus doesn't hit right on the beat, but instead does a kind of dun--dun--dun--DAH, also calling back to the rhythmic patters in ambient dubstep. I'm of two minds about the chorus, it's so friggin powerful and and it makes me wish they'd extended it, maybe gone for a double chorus on it, but at the same time, it doesn't overstay its welcome, it leaves me wanting more, and I absolutely think that's intentional on their part. Thanks for the reaction as always Chase. I feel you with those tears, my dude. It's just so emotionally powerful. Frig I love this band so much haha. Have a damn good day everyone.

[@docknives3792]

I was one of the people who pushed for you to discover them. There's a lot of gratitude to go around for everyone.

[@Fallen577]

Thornhill - Where We Go When We Die! You must react to it! I'm going to keep requesting it lol

[@ashleighjane]

I SECOND THIS.

[@whosseanbryan]

Agreed

[@amandajaroch3248]

You say to the end that you get emotional when listening to this stuff but can't describe what the emotion is for you. For me I would say its a humbling emotion.

[@thetruextremeicon]

I just went through your entire series of Sleep Token reactions. I discovered them late but so far you have had the best and most analytical and emotional reactions to their music. Absolute class. I appreciate all the breakdown of what is going on with the music itself and it adds even more enjoyment to listening to them and picking out those things you were calling out.

[@ptuneandy]

i was lucky enough to find out about sleep token in 2019 after getting tickets to see issues(fyi another great band to check out) sleep token was a supporting act that issues brought with them on their beautiful oblivion tour in the united states. Even for a small crowd of 50 people or so to open up the evening vessel mezmorized us with a quick set of old and new (at the time) songs for 40 minutes. The crowd went crazy during higher's last breakdown which was the finale of the set. A giant worship was heard as the band walked off the stage. Definitely one of the best concert experiences i've ever had. Live music is the thing i miss most since this pandemic started. Hopefully sleep token can get back to the states soon. Enjoy the rest of sundowning, it is a masterpiece.

[@spncryang]

Saw them on that tour, it was awesome. Had no clue who they were.

[@luckadoo7982]

I saw them in Minneapolis and I don't think people knew who they were but they commanded complete attention, people were either confused dancing or just staring in disbelief. It was a crazy experience haha

[@Marieketoetsenist]

Yessssssss ❤️❤️❤️ I'll give you more: I'd say either Gods or Levitate next, depending on if you want brutal or beautiful (though this bunch tends to give you both in one track usually 😊

[@Marieketoetsenist]

Oh no, forgot about Sugar! See, you can't really go wrong with ST anyway :)

[@kentishandy]

Damn.... I've never heard any Sleep Token before, so this is/was first Sleep Token track. It was Nothing like u was expecting, but man, what an awesome track!! Certainly won't be my last, so let's go see what else I can find... Thanx Chase👍😁

[@Astridsscribbles]

Listen to Chase’s reaction on Blood sport. You’ll love him and Sleep token even more!

[@kentishandy]

@@Astridsscribbles I've followed Chase for months now, but tended to just followed his journey into Nightwish. but just never heard any Sleep Token. But thanx so much for the recommendation. Gonna go check it out right now 😁👍

[@Astridsscribbles]

@@kentishandy Funny, I met and follow Chase aswell because of Nightwish. But his journey is far more excited, I promiss!!

[@eric_stewart]

14:39 - 14:54 is quite possibly the best explanation of Sleep Token ever… I’ve been listening to these guys for a few years now. I was watching various videos of them on KZbin which led me to the challenge you did with Tank, which then led me to your channel, which inevitably led me here. This is my favorite Sleep Token song, and as it’s a bit different from some of their other stuff, I was anxious to see how someone else would feel about it. To see your passion for music and for this band is very relatable and encouraging in some ways. You’ve definitely gained an automatic sub from me after just watching a few of your reactions. Keep up the great work!

[@rasilverstorm]

They make me feel so zen, and I love it!

[@chris.nanite]

Bro I'm glad there's another south african that resonates with Sleep Token as much as I do.

[@vixn89]

So interesting to see your reactions and hear your insight into this music. One of my absolute favourite bands. I truly hope that you get to see them live at some point as they really are incredible. I saw them for the first time in January 2020 and I was so overwhelmed with emotion I cried three times during their set. Just wow.

[@claudebarnardo5214]

Yes Chase! Absolutely love this song. Can't wait to rediscover their tracks through you, so keep it coming. You are in for the ride of your life and I'm there for it. 🙌🏼

[@TheBeardsShow]

They are excellent live. Saw them last year. So so good

[@josephbishop3590]

Wow! The absolute depth and otherworldly dimension to this... just made a fan of me! Thanks Chase. Your channel, your well informed analyses and your exploration of 'different' bands, styles and music have made this old man's heart beat again. I look forward to those moments you discover and by extension, I discover new talent. Second only to my discovery of Nightwish, subscribing to your channel are the best things I've discovered on KZbin.

[@SandraNelson063]

Oh I wish I could be here for the live chats!!! Dammit!!! OOoOOooOOOOooooOOO! Something is buzzing in my nose! And this man's voice...just drops my knickers.

[@Addictedtoludus]

it all started with your shirt. Sleep Token. I immediately asked myself "surely it is a group that deserves to be heard". I will never thank you enough.

[@ChaseCarneson]

No thanks needed. I'm really glad you're liking these 🙏

[@ciryadin]

It's suspected that Leo Faulkner is Vessel; singer from Blacklit Canopy.

[@ChaseCarneson]

I hope I never find out.

[@ciryadin]

@@ChaseCarneson Can imagine; it's part of the mistery that keeps it enticing.

[@GoalPost_er]

Can’t wait to hear your take on that jarring single beat that starts playing around a minute forty nine of the song. Make it make sense for me!!!!!

[@jackjohns9447]

I've been searching for a great reaction channel that have covered one of the best bands out there and properly appreciated them, thank Sleep that I've found one! My favourite from Sundowning is Sugar. I don't know why, its different to others in that the lyrics are actually very simple, yet it is the song that makes me feel the most complex set of emotions (maybe equal with The Offering), you have the constant tension building up until the final moments of the song, it makes you feel almost feral in the breakdown. I genuinely can't describe it better than that. I don't know if you take recommendations from here, but if you do then Sugar would be mine.

[@martynjames8900]

Really nice breakdown of the tracks. And yes I would not be listening to Sleep Token had I not watched this channel. I am now completely obsessed with them. Thanks for all your great work!! HAVE A DAMN GOOD DAY!!!!!

[@MrFergio07]

Sleep Token are beyond incredible live. The vocals are just as amazing and the crowd atmosphere takes it all to the next level. Personally my favourite band of all time. Went to see them end of Jan 2020 and am going to see them again when the UK returns to normality.

[@austinlloyd8414]

Came across this band while in a tatoo shop. Guy was playing this whole album and I've been obsessed ever since.

[@LexiPixeL_]

Yesss, I love this song so much. Very much looking forward to this one. Sleep Token kicks ass.

[@gaskaramona]

Yep, can confirm - I wouldn't have listened to them without your reactions. And yes, almost the entire album can be found on my playlist now. So thanks for that and keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it damn well! 🙂

[@Papatoothwort]

Just found you and immediately subscribed. Love that your reactions are equal part analytical and just emotional geeking out over the quality of Sleep Token’s music. If you haven’t already heard it, I would HIGHLY recommend reacting to Jericho from their Two EP. I think it perfectly does many of the things you seem to like most about the band (incredible vocal performance, brilliant consideration of sonic space, compositional maturity in letting ideas breathe for however long they need to, huge dynamic shifts that never feel contrived, STUNNING uses of counterpoint in countermelodies, polyrhythms etc… I could go on.) It’s a masterpiece.

[@ashleybooker4420]

Yay I love you thank you, can't wait for this, you have to listen to Gods after this

[@fmotion1723]

Damn dude, I get emotional from just watching how much you love Sleep Token, let alone the music itself, that silent cheer when the end part hit was magic.

[@shadow_still]

I love how much you just freakin get it, man!

[@andrewmorin05]

They are beautiful live. Worship!

[@wxsteria3451]

Talk about great sound design lol. Since I started learning about production, I’ve been noticing so many small nuances in the production value of songs that I hadn’t noticed when I first heard them. It’s really cool to hear them now

They are not my favorite band, but among bands that I discovered through your reactions, sleep token is my favorite and now a top 5 band for me. They are on my you tube playlists, Spotify playlist, and I need to get a CD. I thoroughly enjoyed the reaction chase and another killer Sleep Token song. Have a good one, my friend!

[@hummy5434]

easily one of my favorites off of Sundowning! i highly recommend their song 'The Night Does not Belong to God' by them it's one of the best album intro songs ever!

[@Capthowdy098]

Yes I'll do one different here, I was introduced to Sleep Token because of you and Tank. So it became a main stay on my work playlist. One of my co-workers asked me about it and now it's all she listens to .. so yes thank you

[@owenbenjamin6413]

Sugar - Sleep Token... In my opinion is Vessels best vocal performance to date, his talent is insane. Also not sure if you're aware but Vessel writes and records every single instrument apart from drums 🙌🏻🤞🏻

I recommended Sleep Token to my Mum the song Blood Sport - from the room below. She admitted that whilst not the normal type of music she'd to listen, she felt very emotional at the end. I think Sleep Token have a way of tapping into emotions, and it's wonderful, as you say in a positive way, not always sad.

[@emmaglover94]

This song is stunning. Great reaction as always! Smashed it.

[@oneysays]

Your willpower to not just power through all their songs is insane. I couldn't do it, I'd become strictly a sleep token channel until I heard all of it. Loving the journey though brother. HADGD

[@wayneturner4483]

Hi Chase, really enjoying your reactions, especially the Band-Maid ones, I too only discovered them and became a "Maidiac" within the last 12 months. Please continue to bring us more Band-Maid content :D I really appreciate how you give us a really detailed and technical analysis unlike a lot of other reactors out there. You have a great variety of international bands but I have noticed you have no band to represent Russia as yet , so I have a suggestion for you to broaden the selection on your channel even more ;) They are a Russian Metal band called "Slot", They have a female and male duo singing setup and they are very versatile if you go back through their catalogue! And I know you appreciate a good Bass player, their Bassist Nikita is phenomenal! I hate comparing bands to other bands, but just to give you an idea, imagine the likes of KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Pendulem all rolled together and then you might start to scratch the surface, but like I said they are so versatile, you could listen to two different tracks of theirs and be forgiven for thinking it was two different bands. I really suggest you start with either their song "200 KW" if you want to start with an official Music Video, or "Cuckoo" if you want to start with a live performance! I have linked both below :) I challenge you to find a band that brings more energy than these guys and I can guarantee you will finish the songs with your adrenaline pumping (Especially 200KW!). Their female singer Daria is an absolute vocal beast and although these two particular songs do not showcase her talent that well, I'm sure you will end up down a rabbit hole like I did when I first discovered them. If you do end up enjoying them, I can always recommend you other songs of theirs to showcase different things! And I would love for someone who is as musically intelligent as yourself to teach me some things about one of my favourite bands that I may not be aware of! Oh and consider yourself having gained a new subscriber my dude, keep up the good work :) 200 KW: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2bEg6Fse9arnpY & Cuckoo (Live): kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6WqnKOoqZuHn7M

You owe it to yourself to listen to When The Bough Breaks. It’s not as accessible as what they have on Sundowning, but it will send you to HEAVEN with its atmosphere. Possibly the best Sleep Token song of all time. Also, listen to Gods. It’s the polar opposite, and also possibly the best Sleep Token song of all time.
