REACTION to SLEEP TOKEN (Higher) 🎤🥁🔥

[@darthtater6543]

I’m glad my friend introduced me to them in 2023. I started with “The Summoning” but my favorite is “The offering” and “Gods” I’m officially hooked. BETTER LATE THEN NEVER!

[@lpucci]

Finding Sleep Token was literally one of the only good things that happened in 2020 for me

[@lessur]

absolutely feel the same way

[@Marieketoetsenist]

Yes, same here!

[@josephindorf759]

I heard and watched the alkaline music video after scrolling by it 20 times. Love them

[@Atommms]

I hope 2023 is going better for you ❤

[@GahMehGrrrr]

My sentiment about 2023

[@johnschaffer6968]

YES! All the Sleep Token! Criminally underrated

[@ChaseCarneson]

No argument here...WORSHIP

[@jdhane36]

I completely agree. This group of extremely talented musicians have been twisting what’s considered “normal music”. Very unique and it deserves all the respect it can get. As a musician myself I sit and listen to their songs with my mouth wide open. Not even able to comprehend what’s actually going on. 😂

[@jdhane36]

I am super pumped to see this reaction and have been listening to the song all day to try and figure out what Chase is gonna pick out about the song

[@Oroboruscomp]

100% I feel cheated that i didn't find out about them until recently. And it was by chance while surfing twitch.

[@getdowngirl91]

It's so validating to see another fan with the same feeling and appreciation for a band you love. One of my top bands as well! Worship 🖤

[@ChaseCarneson]

🙏🙏🙏

[@metalblakedowns]

Straight up, I don't know how you've reacted to so much Sleep Token and didn't immediately just dive straight into the full-album LOL Your self-control is insane, cause their discography so far is just...No misses man. The album is a masterpiece

[@ChaseCarneson]

So many requests to go through. Over 1,200 and sometimes I get a little lost in it all. Glad I found my way home again.

[@jessicar5748]

A saw a video of this song live and Vessel was screaming like a madman at the end and his hood fell off 😵 He’s just so awesome all he had to do was headbang it back on 😂

[@ChaseCarneson]

Legends!!! Excited for this one.

[@skylar8197]

yes the way he just casually flicks the hood back on after screaming was so smooth

[@ReXtion88]

DARK SIGNS MAN, I BEG YOU. WORSHIP

[@ChaseCarneson]

Sounds fun. WORSHIP

[@nissyenarts]

For me their best from the new record. So catchy and fun yet sinister.

[@spork4924]

Then Gods maybe? For a change of pace.

[@chloestarshine]

Worship! This is my favourite song by them. Beautiful band. Discovering them has been a deep experience.

[@ChaseCarneson]

WORSHIP 🙌

[@juliettemcgee9055]

The myriad of expressions on your face, such a joy to watch. Hopefully you get to see them live soon. This was the last song on their setlist when I went to see them live back in 2019. Indeed they're magical in what they do musically, from crooning, atmospheric subtle beginnings to a crescendo of crushing yet soulful heaviness. Vessel's live vocals are as rich and velvety as studio version. They only had 6 songs on their setlist, but it was such a majestic show. WORSHIP 🙌

[@ChaseCarneson]

Aaaah I can't wait to see them. I think I'll just stand there in shock....awe....they are the masters of melody and it is very very magical.

[@juliettemcgee9055]

@@ChaseCarneson and masterful lyricism too 'Cause I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet...' tidal wave of feels there.

[@OphoisOne]

They're fantastic live - saw 'em in Salt Lake City when they were touring with Polyphia in 2019 - didn't know who they were before so that was my first experience and it was amazing.

[@aleasha.k.b]

Loved the look on your face when they got heavier and Vessel screams!

[@thepassenger6499]

That was a proper reaction to this masterpiece! This band have mastered the way overwhelming my brain with so many impressions and feelings...it's amazing! And this filthy breakdown at the end...oh my god! ❤

[@chewbunkie7031]

The drums are always on point, it's incredible. I love the shallow attack on the cymbals that create an open, almost ethereal tone. I love the quick, tight snare fills and offbeat attacks. Sleep Token are epic.

[@djpinger]

Sugar and The Night Does Not Belong to God. Sugar specifically. I can't stop listening to this bad. I get immense joy seeing people react to these songs. Their depth and intricacy are mindblowing.

[@craigpattenden]

I’m blessed to be from the UK and seen these guys just before the world went to shit, and no joke the whole gig felt like it culminated in this song. The sound engineering felt like all the levels were absolutely perfect for every part of Higher and it was an unholy experience. Top 5 musical moments of my life.

[@MissIssay]

I love how visceral the lyrics are - they're still poetry but much more raw than what I'm used to, almost Hozier-esque (I can totally see Hozier writing for them, it's definitely not his vocal but there's something very familiar about the aesthetic these lyrics create). Great to see Sleep Token back here, it's really been too long. Also, if we're in the realm of this sort of music - perhaps Kensington..?

[@billie_thepeach]

“Lacerate” always ALWAYS farking destroys me. Whyy is it even so hot?! 🤣😫 the way this man sings certain phrases wrecks me. Like That also is another one that sends me over the edge

[@Istielthia]

I have always loved music, but some time the past couple of years I lost touch with whatever part of me connected deeply to it. Finding your channel last month reawakened that piece inside me, and allowed me to find new music to connect with that I likely would not have found on my own. Sleep Token has been one of those bands for me. Watching you react to this song felt like staring into an emotional mirror. Thank you.

[@ChaseCarneson]

THANK YOU!!! This makes me so happy. So glad this has been helpful to you and it really makes it all worth it. Really appreciate the support and comment.

[@weresorenflyin]

UGHH YESS. plz never stop doing sleep token reactions they’re the best on KZbin

[@ChaseCarneson]

I'm never going to stop. I promise.

[@julioandresdibenedetto8710]

My dear Chase i only came to say theres a new sleep token song! I really hope to see one of your reactions

[@braxtonwalden8365]

I’m so happy I discovered them in their beginning stages of Sundowning. Anticipating every single release was such a great experience

[@Marieketoetsenist]

WORSHIP ♥️♥️♥️ Loved your reaction to this one, very happy for you to be checking out more of their stuff. And yes to all the heavy parts, but melody above all else indeed 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@aorias]

This is a band that makes me feel the same way I can see it makes you feel Chase. This is the best group I found in 2020 and they are just perfect.

[@BigBev121]

Shit yeahhhh mateeeee. So keeen for this reaction.. this song is a journey.. 😍😍. This and their song Jaws.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Jaws was a super fun one. This was....special. can't wait for you all to see it.

[@rockkid407]

Your Sleep Token reactions were my first intro into your videos and it's refreshing to see your in depth anaylses because it always helps me appreciate me their music in more ways that I never realized I could. With that being said, I think you'd love The Contortionist or Aviations!

[@chrisroe652]

Man i was Just listening to this after this video, all by myself, totaly blown away. I have tears in my eyes, but im not sad. Just amazed by this Song. Thank you beeing so awesome and for this recomendation!

It's impossibly brilliant and moving. Thank you for watching.

[@Mr.krabz2182]

I feel you man, they know how to get under your skin with words as sharp as a needle

[@JayJay270681]

I found sleeptoken on a Facebook group for download festival. Someone asked for recommendations for melodic music with crushing breakdowns and I checked out some of the bands that were suggested. I am obsessed with this band, it's so different, soft and hard, light and dark, beauty and brutality. Best discovery of the last god knows how many years. New music can be original and intelligent and amazing... so many old school folk who won't allow themselves to open up amd embrace the evolution of art, its a shame.

[@chrisseeley1868]

You process Sleep Token the same way my brain does..love ya for that!!

[@Justin.K2009]

Lol this girl on mic up on roblox told me to put on some sleeptoken songs, and i didnt know band at furst but wjen she reccomend it i start listening to it more, im really happy,(if you are the girl and see this thank you :> )

[@SandraNelson063]

Damn. He makes me want to sing again. Thank you so much for this. I'm having a bad day.

[@roedyhellyeah]

you know the feeling when you are looking for music that fills that empty space in you. This was exactly what is was looking for. Thank you!

[@pii3242]

Thanks again for introducing this band to me with your very first ST reaction. They are perfectly fullfilling the soul and the brain. And you, Sir, again impoving The experience. You ask other songs: ALL of them. More spesific? All. To ensure you give us more ST: Gods, Levitate, Dark sigs, Nasareth.. Enough to continue? Take your time, I will patiently wait, every day; watching, listening, learning, and enjoying your excellent content.

[@colleenw8363]

Knowing the songs as well as I do now and only recently discovering your channel and falling in love with the way you connect to the music, I just have to say, watching you react to the transitions and climaxes that I know are coming fills me with an utter joy I cannot describe. I simply adore seeing every emotion you display knowing you are mirroring exactly what I and so many others are feeling when experiencing the wonder that is this band. Thank you.

[@moseygosey]

I love seeing your reactions to music! and especially Sleep Token. I love how it looks like you are imagining yourself playing the instruments!

[@crabuki1273]

TU4C! Sometimes bands speak to your soul, and everyone's soul speaks its own language. It's a profound feeling when you first hear it, when you discover you're in lockstep with what you're hearing. I don't share that feeling with you for this band (though I certainly don't dislike them), but I really enjoy seeing the joy you get out of them. Seeing Chase doing Chase things, if you will. ;-)

[@rajshah3576]

This was the first sleep token song I listen to and truly appreciate their music listen to them nearly every day on loop. Looking forward to seeing them live next year. Brilliant analysis Chase 🙂

[@cmote78]

Glad you were able to get back around to another Sleep Token track. Your first reaction to Sleep Token introduced me to one of my (now) favorite bands!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Their one of the best bands I have ever discovered EVER!!! Like you said in your blood sport video they have also become such a important part of my life in a very short amount of time

[@ryanfrazier3781]

I'm reviewing these Sleep Token reactions in order and so far every one ends in a beautiful nightmare and I am here for every moment! Thank you for exposing me to this band!

[@tombland3779]

I found sleep token through your channel and can't get enough. Straight onto my going for a wonder playing. Something about them just makes you get lost in their music.

[@Sound_And_Color]

That breakdown is incredible! Absolutely filthy!

[@prideofalion]

Dude, you know how when you hit a part of a song that just grabs you and you just repeat it over and over. That's legit what i just did with your reaction when you realized that breakdown was coming! 🤣

[@travisnat]

I found your channel when I saw you had reacted to Sleep Token for the first time and I was thinking "wow, someone found out about this band and actually reacting to it!" - then you continued with Nightwish, my fav band of all time of course. 2/2, stuck with you now! Keep up the wonderful job :)

[@ChaseCarneson]

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING!!! Really appreciate all the kind words and glad you're enjoying these.

[@soap.muncher]

I dont think you'll see this since this video is a few years old, but Higher is my favourite song of theirs and I'm so glad that they have gotten big. I've followed them since the beginning, and it's just incredible seeing them going from performing in a church in london for like 50 people to selling out the O2 arena twice in a single tour is just insane. Another fun fact-All of their tracks are only Vessel and II (the drummer), Vessel does the vocals and he did the bass and guitar/piano while II does the drums and synths, its so cool. I really hope they do their new album with III and IV, seeing them live is out of the world and just an absolutely amazing experience.

[@ChaseCarneson]

I see you! Thank you so much for this extra info. Always helps me appreciate and love this group just a little bit more. Thank you 🙏

[@soap.muncher]

@@ChaseCarneson another great song of theirs to react to is Take Aim, if you haven't already. Or The Night Does Not Belong to God-Euclid is the parallel to that song and The Night is the start of the story while Euclid ends it,,,i love this band so much its not even funny

[@ChaseCarneson]

@ I have a lot of reaction to their newer stuff up on the channel at the moment.

[@draganapasti_]

I get chills listening to them too. Rare are the bands today of such a deep dive emotion. Technically accurate, spiritually so symbolic & wide. Amazing instrumental parts plus that incredible vocal are simply stunning! Yes, “unexpected aggression”, easily go deep under the skin. I’d really love to see them alive on stage ✨✨✨

[@JackMcDonnell91]

dude this was so cool. I felt every emotion of this song all over again with you. amazing

[@muaddib4329]

the way the song just builds and builds and builds and then releases that tension with that NASTY breakdown is just so satisfying. Love to see the pure joy in your face throughout

[@maximilianschultz8244]

So whenever I hear incredible music, I always get covered in goosebumps, and it is GUARANTEED to happen when listening to Sleep Token. Everyone in my life that has seen it happen always seemed surprised or shocked that it happens, as if it’s strange. Glad to see I’m not the only person on earth that it happens to lol.
