SLEEP TOKEN-THE OFFERING!!!!!!!

..... Take a bite!!!!

[@RKDuskHaven]

Yeah, he's gotta react to The Offering

[@11peterson1]

Higher has to be next. That song is amazing. Heaviest breakdown I’ve heard in my life. And I listen to a lot of death core. That song wrecked every breakdown I’ve heard. I don’t know what guitar and/or amp can even make such an absurdly filthy sound.

[@Damomonopolos]

"Life is like a box of Sleep Token. You never know what you're going to get." Someone in another one of their videos wrote that in the comments. I feel like llits worth repeating because you will only understand it once you listen to more of them. And it 500% accurate

[@B4RGU3ST]

Drummer kills it. Whole band is amazing, but man that drummer is just OOMPH👌 SOLID.

Worship 🙌 Got a ticket to see Issues for their Beautiful Oblivion tour with Sleep Token and Polyphia last year as a birthday gift. Didn't know Sleep Token (Polyphia was the major reason I went there lol) back then but they delivered a powerful, haunting show and I was sold. Was hoping you'd do a live version but I doubt there's one with great quality.

[@laceysnakes]

You said to tell more of what we know about the band. I’m not sure what you’ve gathered since you posted this but here are some things I know. They are actually phenomenal live if you haven’t come across a video yet. An insanely talented group. They do strive hard to remain anonymous and their fans do the best we can to help as well. Also, Vessel, the lead guy does do most of everything in the studio. You mentioned one person writing this. He does do everything except the drums. Overall, they are just an incredible band and I have it on good authority that we will be given some new music soon so stay tuned 😁

[@lpucci]

I am so jealous you now get to go delve into all of Sleep Token's catalogue. This band is just unbelievable. I am completely obsessed. They are incapable of making a weak song.

[@monstercookies2726]

That face tho. Were you confused and trying to figure out Vessel's identity? Haha. My next recommendation from them is Gods. It will be right up your alley because of its heaviness.

[@TankTheTech]

Pretty much. I absolutely LOVED the music, but the mystery behind all of it is screwing with my brain.

[@everett880]

WORSHIP. Bro, you looked confused as hell in the thumbnail, man. Looking forward to this.

[@TankTheTech]

I loved it, but my brain was working overtime for sure. Haha

[@pupperoni1500]

Love that you and Chase came up with this idea! I was so sure he‘s gonna pick Sleep Token for you 😄 nice to see you liking them. They‘re a hidden gem imo. Btw: you somehow remind me of Chris Evans (captain America) 😂🙈

[@TankTheTech]

[@daymo9785]

Wow, that is haunting. The bass tone is crazy

[@papaherf7349]

Damnit CANT WAIT!!! Excited you guys did this👍. The band is not on my radar so it’ll be some new music for me also.

[@tylerchovanec8573]

Gotta react to the offering by these guys, soooo good man

[@Audard]

Atlantic, The Love You Want and Mine. This band is something out of left field and completely owns in so many ways. The band is great at making emotional landscapes which are dark and heavy both in lyrics and music. Atlantic is super heavy in regards to these aspects and hits like a truck towards the end.

[@__Raze]

Absolutely love Sleep Token, Sundowning was my favourite album of last year, really glad to see more people discovering them. Such a broad array of different genres covered on the album, Vessel's voice is insanely beautiful and has such an interesting texture, and the drummer has some of my favourite recent tracks to memory, Higher and Gods definitely being 2 standout tracks imo for that. Would be awesome to see you react to some tracks from the latest album, Higher, The Night Does Not Belong To God, The Offering, Gods and Give would all be great options showcasing just a few of the different styles they've done. Perhaps a full album reaction once the Patreon is set up? ;) Love the recent content dude!

[@Wailmaker]

I really like the tank facts! The reactions itself are really enjoyable too and I'd like maybe dedicated gear talk vids/breakdowns :) Keep up the good work. Ehre

[@Gullidegl]

Please react to Leo Moracchioli. He is an multi instrumentalist who covers mostly every song and produce them alone. I recommend „all the things she said“. Keep on rocking 🤘🏼

[@1972cd]

This was definitely a different song and interesting video. It was fun watching you react to this one and great choice on chase, I really liked it. I am looking forward to the your next reaction, peace out!

[@deanlovesy203]

Love your channel dude 👌👌 saw these guys live last month, one of the best live performances I've ever seen. If you ever get the chance to see them live I highly recommend it. Keep up the good work man 👍👍

[@peeessaye-7339]

Me as well. Saw them as an opener. Blown away. Even bought the shirt. :)

Damn, this is why I see reactions, never heard of this band and loved it... thanks Chase and Tank!

Thank you!

[@Zhgarr]

Awesome reaction Tank! What a weird song, not sure if I like or not! I think I would like it in the background while working perhaps....

[@kanefears4245]

I remember being in middle school trying my damndest to figure who the members of slipknot was. This band has revived those childhood memories.i don't care who is in sleep token. I just love their music. Just like slipknot, they'll come unmasked when they wanna. If they wanna stay anonymous, then that's cool. Just don't stop making music

[@yaboyfori]

Hey Tank, I’m super stoked that you’ve checked this band out! They are hands down my favourite band! “The Offering”, in my opinion, is their best song and you should totally listen to it. But if you want another song of theirs to react to, then you should check out “Higher”. And seriously brother, do yourself the favour and don’t pause it once. I’d love to watch your head explode listening to that song start to finish and I’m sure everyone else would! Keep up the dope content my dude 🤙🏻

[@crystalrainfeather]

Well, I now have 2 (more) never-before-heard bands to check out, thanks to you & Chase. I gotta admit I was really surprised by this request from Chase, even though I'm not sure 'why', lol. I love that the 2 of you have become friends and are doing this here in YT land, and letting your fans in on it. Two of the best reactors teaming up = much love from subscribers/fans. :)

[@papaherf7349]

I got lost in the video ( so Dark!). Ouch! Liked it...well done guys.

[@mkennedy319]

Nice deftones vibe reference dude. I've only heard of Sleep Token due to youtube music algorithms. His eccentric voice can sometimes be too much for me but not enough to dislike the song. I discovered both you and Chase within hours of each other so i find it really cool that you guys have become friends and are collaborating. (PS: Still waiting for that Veil song lol)

[@chrisbarker8513]

Just subbed! Found this band today . Something special for sure , listening through the whole album tonight 👍

[@TankTheTech]

Sick! Thanks!

[@jonasbatzdorf1506]

Great song indeed! The sound and arrangement reminds me of the band "VOLA" check out "Alien Shivers", extraordinary mix of synth piano and super-heavy riffing.

[@javelinjester4321]

Album was so good I got the whole album tattooed on me. If ya haven’t listened to Sundowning, go put on your best headphones and listen to the journey. Great reaction!

[@jerrodgamble5686]

The offering, higher and theres a lot more from then worth checking out. I love this band so much!! One of my favorites for sure

[@blakewarford1168]

It's not the dude from Bastille, for sure. But glad you finally checked these guys out! Chase kills his breakdowns of Sleep Token tracks. These guys definitely have music background (The drummer obvi has a jazz background) but no, this isn't a side project. These guys are absolutely new, they got noticed so fast because of pure talent The mask is Vessels mask that he uses live. I HIGHLY recommend checking out their 'TWO' EP. It's flawless. The best part about Sleep Token is when you start a song, you have NO idea how it's going to go. Every song is completely different If you wanna headbang, checkout their song GODS off Sundowning. I won't ruin it but, just check these guys out some more

[@timhutchinson8485]

I thought Dan Smith too, but I went and listened to Bastille and Dan has a thinner/brighter tone (but a very similar voice)

[@ShortOrderCook]

Well this is awesome. I like the anonymity too - mysterious and dark.

[@adamtaylor9617]

Good call on the Bastille observation. I thought exactly the same thing

What is this Sleep Token of which you speak? I seem to recall hearing of such a thing many, many moons ago...a legend of The Ginger Vampire....🤔

[@Xarah8]

Aye! The Ginger Vampire’s bite turned me into an offering, obliged to worship..

[@SandraNelson063]

@@Xarah8 Tis a sad tale of woe! I fear me that the Ginger bite may be without cure! Oh, is there no end to the this Gingery incursion? Although, I've looked at the vid that Tank gave Chase, and it IS a bit of a piety tester. Chase may be getting more than he can chew!

[@SpitFireShad]

And if you’re going to go with something “out there” vibe, well, you are in luck from either “Overconfidence” (released a few days ago) or “red light” both by Tallah. Either one of these should test your ears with what you hear influence-wise. They’ll both be a trip. And maybe through this on Chase too! Overconfidence has your best gear chance. And Red Light, well, it almost made GALACTICRIMINAL’s head pop off. ✊🏼

[@purpleir]

Chase why are you trying to freak Tank out?🤣 Tank great reaction! And the voice does sound very familiar! I really like this concept of you two exchanging suggestions.👍 Is it weird that in an bizzare ass video as this, the only thing that disturbed me was the damn roaches?! 😛

[@TankTheTech]

If I'm being honest, I could have done without the roaches as well. Haha

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

That's exactly the way I felt about it, that's a good thing.

[@brianflynn4]

Hey Tank. One of the most amazing tracks I've ever heard is one called "Forced Entry" by a progressive metal band named Leprous. I'll admit it took me a couple listens to really get into their head space on this album ("Bilateral"), but once I did, I was amazed at how brilliant the whole album was. If you've never heard the track, I would love to see your reaction to them, they're really something special and have a pretty nice backlog of albums to dive into if you end up enjoying them as much as I have over the last decade or so. Thanks!

[@Omertahun]

Tank! New Sleep Token! With coreography!

[@andrewmorin05]

Hearing it Live was even better. Worship!!!

[@iDEATH]

Masks remind me that Ad Infinitum just released a new video. I think they are very cool, three talented musicians in fancy plague doctor masks and the excellent and gorgeous Melissa Bonny singing.

Higher and Thread the Needle are a few other really good ones by Sleep Token! WORSHIP 💜

[@madhya]

in regards of their identity/identities, it took me nearly a month of intense research to find the vocalist's old music- their real identities arent readily available on the internet, it takes a keen eye and a fine-toothed comb to find them. the band is incredibly thorough about hiding themselves and have been doing it well for years

[@sirrobert23]

Calcutta by Sleep Token is one to check out. Are you gonna do a video about Deftones new song Ohms?

[@alexthompson7080]

Their live show is phenomenal. Welcome and Worship 😊 Check out Blood Sport!!!

[@npinjest7779]

As I I listened, my mind kept going "Hmm, if Massive Attack ever went metal.. this would not be out of place on Mezzanine", a connection later compounded by the Bristol roots of a top Vessel "candidate", along with the "collective" angle. Missed this the first time through, so late to the party, but very interesting mix of elements...

[@ShiniestGoth]

One of the best bands around seen live few times and just unbelievable powerful & glorious live. Bloodsport definitely my top track. PS keep the identity secret 😉

[@TankTheTech]

I will. I've actually deleted a few comments where people have tried to spill it.

[@BiGStellar]

Oh man, I've first listened to Sleep Token in 2017...and I'm a fan since that time. I was lucky enough to see them live with Polyphia and Issues, it was hell of a show. Imo, 'Sundowning' is one of the best albums EVER. W O R S H I P.

[@DavidSlEePtOkEnSanchez]

Can’t wait for that Ice Nine Kills!!!! One day, one day🙏🙏🙏🙏 lol

[@caramel4068]

I love this channel because I love learning about things I know nothing about (like musical gear!). But for once I know about some "gear" in this video: the bug is a cockroach, specifically looks a lot like a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach to me. This is a wingless species common in the exotic pet trade as pets and as food for reptiles, most famous for being relatively big and for making a brief hissing sound by squeezing air out of their exoskeleton when they feel threatened! Not one you'd find infesting homes in the northern latitudes but maybe if some pets got out in a humid and warm country they could, though the very specific placement didn't seem like they were trying to show an infestation. I'm not sure the symbolism they were going for with it, but I think it's awfully cute!

[@craigarnott6189]

You will like their song, The offering. Very different but in a good way

[@harakiriforthemetal4634]

You need to try Kvelertak. Its a very good band from Norway with a very individual sound.

[@isaactayller]

there is a live performance in which vessel cries singing this song, it gives a lot of goosebumps

[@KelvinZomerVlog]

I also recognise Vessel as Dan Smith. Bastille has the same vibe and the singer of Sleep Token is just as amazing as Dan Smith.

[@tantibogusboy]

It's not Dan Smith. He wasn't known before this.

[@awaitingdisaster17]

"I don't expect this to get heavy." 😂

[@jctheii]

I wouldn’t say NOBODY knows who they are 😉

[@TankTheTech]

Very true. But people are doing a DAMN fine job at keeping quiet about it, which you don't see too often.

[@Capthowdy098]

Haha 12 foot ninja I love that you recommend them 😁

[@Lilty92]

I'd love to see you react to Wintersun - Time

[@mementomori2839]

So I looked into some Reddits and it's confirmed it's not Smith from Bastille. There are more solid claims that it's this UK solo vocalist that has some weird, artsy, solo stuff on YT. Can't remember his name

[@josiahw9915]

Not much of gear talk here, eh? Don't think we can find any live footage of Sleep Token that are really in HD quality. But the song slaps. I'd recommend Gods or Calcutta from them next. Btw, I'm interested to hear more on gear especially when bands do playthrough. Not sure if you've heard of Polaris. They just released guitar + bass playthrough for their song Pray For Rain a week ago. Figure it might fits you since you're all about gear.

[@unlysdexia_849]

I saw them live in 2019 at St. Andrews hall in Detroit Michigan. Absolutely amazing performance, I fell in love with the bands aesthetic, energy, and vessels voice. Went for Polyphia, stayed for sleep token 😳

[@Widetrackband]

Was there as well, and ditto!

[@digitalmichael]

More Sleep Token, my friend!

[@BurpleRX7]

I can tell you with 98% confidence that the singer is not Dan from bastille. It does sound a bit like Hozier or even Isaac Gracie but it could be anyone, The drummer, I don’t know why but I get a LOT of Jason Bowld of Pitchshifter, BFMV vibes, he loves a gold play around the kit like that and a few of his favourite flairs are in this, but again this is purely speculation. I am sure some of my crew friends know identities but there is no fun in asking, I want to find out through research
