SLEEP TOKEN "Ascensionism" // Audio Engineer & Musician Reacts

[@jking317]

Does anyone else get shivers and tingling when you listen to sleep token?

[@musikbyjh]

YES!!!! ✌🏽

[@ЛевХорошилов]

And it sends me shivers, how you love like weapons kill.

[@JakobStrand]

Never has a band/artist moved me like ST does. It´s surreal

[@Kreverend520v2]

Only on the tip of my pp

[@amsa928]

@@JakobStrand yo I feel the same exact way. They fill a void in me I never knew was there, until I heard them. Nothing compares. 🖤

[@crm71mo41]

6:53 the “YOU’RE GONNA WATCH ME ASCEND!” scream though…… I felt that in my toes! 😮

[@KJiinX]

6:43 When the "stank face" kicks in 😂Great reaction man, as always!

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks so much, Kevin. Super stank face for sure!! ✌🏽

[@elkevera]

I am glad the US is opening up to the UK artists again. I really enjoyed it. Head phones are mandatory to hear the fine nuances. Thank you for your time ☮

[@crm71mo41]

Definitely DO use headphones! Especially on Take Me Back To Eden… all the animal sounds! 🥰 Absolutely beautiful album!!! Worship 🙌🏻

[@claytonkeever2992]

Did we make a boycott after the Beatles I missed?

[@lukedacosta1401]

Loving this... Sleep Token's drummer Vessel II is so deep in the pocket he comes out covered knee-deep in lint. Mad respect for the Twelve Foot Ninja reference. Those lads r insaaaaane.

[@musikbyjh]

Totally agree!! Twelve Foot Ninja is ridiculous. Soooo bummed that Nik left the band. Nervous to see who will be the new singer. And I LOVE II…(fun fact, in the drum play through reaction I did for “Like That”, I called him il. Didn’t realize it was a number. Lol. Now I just call him “il” all the time. Lol. Dude is sick. ✌🏽😎🤘🏽

[@crm71mo41]

8:18 the sigh, the inhale, followed by the scream! 😮 *chefs kiss*

[@UMPeeps1348]

Your gonna watch me ascend!!!!!!!!!!!!! que full body melt mode on that scream!

[@musikbyjh]

LOL!! Right?!!? ✌🏽

[@Elviolli]

My dude! Everyone is focusing on the genre bending abilities of this band and it fills me with immense joy that you mentioned Twelve Foot Ninja. While I'd argue they both have immensely different sounds, they are both very good at blending genres. Good stuff.

[@jessicar5748]

This song is next level 🙌🏻

[@gerardomorales4078]

You mentioned Twelve Foot Ninja... you got a sub. Loving your Sleep Token reactions bro.

[@deannatyler880]

This wasn’t just dirty it left stains! 🖤❤️🤘🏼

[@danielleyoung3133]

Easily album of the yr for me!!

[@ricjobl]

Album of the year

[@eilselp11]

This song reminds me of "haunted" by Type O negative.... i miss that time in music, not comparing...but it takes me there for some reason. Thank you for sharing this time in music. 😊

[@JohnMHatch]

It reminded me of Broken Promise from Placebo. Great comparison though, I see it

[@eilselp11]

I'm going to need to look that one up, thank you.

[@missmarlajean]

Yay for the Twelve Foot Ninja nod!

[@BillWood2791]

When that first metal section comes up I get serious Type O Negative World Coming Down vibes

[@KOA_GOBstopper]

No matter what genre you favor, you can ride to this album.

[@UMPeeps1348]

YES finally here!!!!!! So pumped to hear your take on this one, the lyricism here is just too good along with the production! Worship!

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you for watching and the comment!! Oh man, I just LOVE this entire album...some songs more than others, but this one is just incredible!!! 🙏🏽✌🏽

[@elemma25]

This video has brought so much joy into my day🔥.

[@stephenandrew6087]

Another great channel found through ST. Looking forward to more just subbed. Love the different perspectives I can find from fans to engineers on KZbin

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you so much! So glad you found me. Fun fact, seeing a reactor do the Sleep Token Alkaline song about 3 months ago is what made me start this channel! Heard some amazing music since! So thanks for being here and hopefully you stick around! Cheers! 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

[@stephenandrew6087]

@@musikbyjh That's amazing. Best wishes growing man. From what I've seen, for explosive growth if you lean in on Rage Against the Machine, Sleep Token, Falling in Reverse, and Tool you'll get rabid metal fans flocking to your channel. Look forward to seeing more!

[@musikbyjh]

@@stephenandrew6087 thanks my brother. Very much appreciated. I’m actually an old school metal head. Played in a lot of bands. I came up with Rage and Tool. Haha. I wish I could react to them, but I know them like the back of my hand. Now, Falling in Reverse…I know about 5 songs from them. Heard old stuff a long time ago, but not familiar with it. The newer stuff though…dope.

[@yilomina2047]

So good! worship

[@felixthefearless1886]

Subbed just cuz you’re smart enough to not stop the song and kill the vibe

[@solo43cowboy1]

Sounded awesome.

[@Ellipsis_actual]

Worship

[@freehorn]

fvkin enjoyed it so much. top notch sonic material. so glad I came across this video. Btw I can't wait to see your genuine reaction to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song 🤘

[@musikbyjh]

Hey, thanks for the nice compliment!! So glad you found me!! Haven't heard of Nick - added to the list! ✌🏽

[@Stdodrttyl]

I love how they experiment with different genres while still staying true to their sound. I now think you'll love Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song 🔥 Do a reaction video for it!

[@jaysummer848]

it is a song, a dialogue with oneself. that's life🕳️

[@lounette62]

I have not fully enjoyed a song so much in a long song, every single note 🔥 Can’t wait for the Avenged Sevenfold album reaction 🔥

[@AUmica01]

the band issues could have been like this

[@Jessewinz]

Saw Sleep Token on tour with Issues and Polyphia on the Beautiful Oblivion tour. Definitely similarities in genre bending.

[@brianpanther1967]

I think he tuned down to D# A# D# G# C# F# A# d# on the 8 string. This is a great tune.

[@musikbyjh]

Yeah, that’s ridiculous. I think I’m going to have to drop my 7 string a bit more now. Dammit. Lol

[@EvoTheEditor]

​@@musikbyjhIn this particular song, it was tuned to Double Drop B or B B E A D G B E or it could've been a 9 string (B F# B E A D G B E) because even with an 8 string, you need bridge cables for strings.

[@paladinminipedro707]

Also Seven Spires does genre blending very good too but Sleep Token's audio production is the best in the business IMO.

[@CC-fi3pp]

Finally the USA has stopped blocking non USA artists. There's been a real wave of USA only ignorance for many years now. Good music is good music.

[@musikbyjh]

That’s crazy! I had no idea about that at all. I listen to a lot of different bands that aren’t from the US. So, this “non USA Artist block” is something I’ve never heard of. But either way…I’m just glad I found Sleep Token. They’re just ridiculous!

[@Wasabi_Papi69]

6:19 its tuned to double drop C brotha lmaooo! or at least pitched shifter thru gear n shit

[@DevinMarkovichMetal]

8 strings guitars, I'm pretty sure this song is actually in Double Drop E.

[@imaquis8368]

Pretty sure guitar is Drop D# on an 8 string. Could be wrong tho

[@musikbyjh]

Holy crap. They’re playing 8 strings? I mean, it makes sense. The more I listen to the album, the more I feel like they’re tuned a lot lower than I am. And I used to think drop A was low.

[@Digitalgems9000]

if you have time plz do granite

[@joshuaclemons2956]

8 string, drop E

[@christiangammons9934]

Nope double drop e tuning on jackson 8 string and 10 string guitars lol so its eaea so on

[@jcBentleyB3]

First time to catch you but a swear you said "genre-bending" the 1st time you said "genre-blending" ...either are a cool label of their style of music...I like "bending" better tho. The Last Avatar of a Metal

[@musikbyjh]

What's up Jeremy! I know you're cool since we share the same name, and you caught my genre bending mistake. haha And I totally agree...they both work perfectly...and I actually like genre bending better. sounds more fun. haha Cheers my brother from another mother...kinda like Mel Gibson and Danny Glover!
