Sleep Token - Ascensionism (REACTION!)

[@_Swillyz_]

I’ve heard these songs a million times now, so my guilty pleasure is seeing people react to them for the first time.

[@Kaz-g8y]

Me too! I love seeing if people react the same way or how differently they react!

[@garytackett8426]

Especially the Make It Real run.. So sexy

[@_Swillyz_]

@@Kaz-g8y hearing these songs for the first time will forever be a core memory of mine. It was like discovering a new color.

Vessel on genres: “Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don't get lost in genres, they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone."

[@StrangeQuark84]

beautiful perspective. I love everything from classical to opera to 50's doo wop to death metal. If it gives me chills and feels, I'm all for it.

[@Childofbhaal]

Pretentious af lol and I do love Sleep Tokens music

[@lagerthasbeech]

You say that a lot 😆

[@RVFFICA]

Swear it's a rite of passage to comment this on every Sleep token Video

[@MErickson11]

​@Childofbhaal pretentious how? He's not wrong. Genre is only a way to describe music, it isn't meant to limit what an artist can do.

[@Cumminsnut45]

Sleep Token has a genre, it’s called bangers only.

[@svenprobst903]

underrated^^

[@melissababson3933]

Thisssssss

[@tobydobo4080]

I call it post-genre lol

[@CavalryofWinter]

All of them are in this genre except for Fall For Me

[@StayZero556]

DonVon: This is a ballad. Sleep Token: You sure about that?

[@Lunavolt_]

MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT! I was like “okay buddy” 😂

[@rockerguy97]

I love living vicariously through people who are experiencing Sleep Token for the first time. I get to have those specific goosebumps from hearing the song for the first time again and I love it.

haha me too. love seeing those facial reactions when that beat change happens

[@paladinminipedro707]

very well put!!

[@HereForASeason]

No kidding! What is it about watching people experience these songs for the first time that just brings it all back? I can't stop with these haha

[@samweller8673]

I've known this band for literally only 24 hours, and im already in love

[@levilenz2327]

Bro saaaaaaame 😂😭🙏❤️

[@nickwelch3649]

That scream at the end going into "you make me wish i could disappear " gets me everytime. I have to scream with him, so good. Great reaction bro

[@DonVon]

Thx you

[@johncarpenter3751]

If Sleep Token did a track with The Weekend, it would really put The Weekend on the map

[@AngeliyahsMommy]

There is a mashup here on KZbin of Ascensionisn and The Weekend… As much as he mentioned The Weekend, it made me wonder if he had already heard it…

[@imalsoscarlet8466]

"'bout to go crazy" accurately describes how I get when I listen to Ascensionism (it's my favorite Sleep Token song)

[@DonVon]

Yessir!

[@Lou_Sassle1]

"Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky"

😂😂😂 my favorite part of this video aside from the lil shoulder dance this guy makes my mood go from 0 to a million in one video. 😂❤

[@taylormerrill4896]

“This is a ✨ballad✨” heheheheeee

[@morsecodex]

I don't think the world is ready for Sleep Token/The Weeknd track but I'd be living for it.

[@bobbinwithpete2051]

Who the hell is this artist even? I’ve never heard of him till now and every song is so goddamn good 🙌🏻

[@kingtomthebomb1639]

Congratulations.. you've discovered the best band to ever come out of fucking nowhere.. everyone loves them. This band is breaking boundaries, shit goes so hard!

It’s panty melting. Actually, underwear melting is a better description since it don’t matter what your undergarment of choice is, they’re on fire 🔥 🫠

[@mindybowen7800]

Honey makes me melt 😂😂❤

[@ShaddyMan]

I’ve decided sleep token made it’s own genre call “Seductive Metal”

[@noahhinkle9409]

I've called it Ambient Metal, but I think adding Seductive works so well 😂

[@de5troythebrain]

also heard sex metal, baby making metal, and.... cum metal. lol

[@nix9355]

Cum metal

[@the_user_redacted7924]

@@noahhinkle9409 i feel that the title "Ambient Metal" implies that it could be background music, which imo Sleep Token is simply incapable of being

[@Capthowdy098]

I also like trying to come up with a genre for Sleep Token. A while ago, I kinda settled on Ethereal Core.

[@VoidHxnter]

Im a sucker for dark music. The ending of this song is CHILLING and I LOVE IT. The raw amount of despair and anguish in that ending is mesmerizing to me.

[@tylerk3616]

Don’t know if you’d like it but check out Joji

[@xyredits320]

when i listened to it during a breakup, that part of the song perfectly captured the pain i was in. call me dramatic, but it was like that song spoke literally through my soul 💔

[@StephanieShearer-v3b]

This band is what happens when slipknot and the weekend have a baby. You get SLEEP TOKEN!

[@Kirusdagon]

This is one of very few songs I GENUINELY consider to be an 11/10. LITERAL perfection

[@tylerk3616]

I cannot think of a way it could be better. It is a true 11/10

[@bdepas1813]

The fuck ? Only 11 ??

[@GrandpaWhiteOak]

You get Sleep token better than most people who review their work. You got a fan in me bro.

[@DonVon]

Much love brotha 🖤 thx you

Yes!! So good!

[@shadowninja6444]

If I got your style correct, the next songs you should react to are Granite and Aqua Regia. I know you'll love those two for sure. All there songs are 🔥🔥 tho.

[@cregan4584]

“They’re gonna bring back the sexy now.” Oh, yes they are.

[@IainCr]

Another top tier reaction 🔥 Granite, Chokehold or Aqua Regia are all worthy reactions for you! All from the same album as the last few too! Can’t wait to see what you pick next! 🙏🏻

[@gerardomorales4078]

🤘🙏

[@bamadondon0495]

Ayyyy.. DON'T SLEEP ON "GRANITE" OR "THE SUMMONING"... STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, can't wait to see this band in Atlanta in May!!!! TELL ME THIS BAND DON'T FIND YOUR SOULS NATURAL ORGASM!!!! REAL TALK

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

Lol 😂 Vessel gives everyone eargasms 😂😂. I was going to see them in Atlanta but the tickets were so overpriced I couldn't do it. So I'm going to see them in Tampa in May instead! I'm halfway between the two cities so, I'd have had to drive hours anyway. At least in Tampa it's a stadium venue so I can't wait for that. And my daughter wants to check out Tampa as maybe somewhere to live when she's graduated college. I'm so excited to see Sleep Token. It's going to be epic! ❤ Worship ❤

[@tommyswife05]

​@NikkiWright-STLVR23 I was eyeing Atlanta and Tampa as well! Ended up with general admission for Tampa! I'm so freaking excited, especially since it's my first real concert!

[@fallenreaper9066]

They define their music the same way they do theirselves, with anonymity. You will never know what happens

[@Smorman92]

Bro I love that you love Sleep Token! There’s so many other great songs of theirs you NEED to check out like Granite, The Apparition, Euclid, Blood Sport, Like That, Sugar, The Offering, Dark Signs, and Higher!

Oh man, him talking about sexy music and then does Like That lmaooo

[@LadeeLibra646]

At this point you are gonna react to their whole discography 😂 (not complaining)

[@Truthster772]

I love watching reaction videos to this song cause he’s all like “I told you we were going to get the banger,” while all the while the banger hasn’t even happened yet! LOVE SLEEP TOKEN.

When you need a really good cry, go listen to the live version. If you aren't on the floor the very second you hear his voice crack you'll be there soon enough 😭

[@TippyTabby]

If you want to cry you should listen to Atlantic by Sleep Token. It's honestly so good.

[@DonVon]

Soon enough

[@Schumacher190]

I'd honestly LOVE to see Sleep Token feature TPain on a song or two. TPain has similar genre -bending qualities, and he's equally gifted musically. And I cannot agree with you more about hearing them on the radio. I text my local rock radio station at least twice a week to request they start playing Sleeo Token, and I don't even listen to much radio anymore! Haha.

[@robdurfee6861]

I say do a feature with Will Ramos as well since he is such a gigantic fan of ST, it would just fit perfectly imo lol

[@shilohivy4590]

Or Noah Sebastian from bad omens. He loves sleep token as well.

[@eiriknordahl5112]

You gotta go back in time to hear " Dark Signs " by SleepToken. Probably up you alley :-)

[@gerardomorales4078]

💯 That's a great track!

[@coreyclip1]

This has to be my favorite song they've ever written by far

[@de5troythebrain]

Every time in the second ballad part with the redemption line hits me like a mutha f'er. lots of life changes in the last year and a half. this album has been a shining light.

[@Shannynjams]

Felt

[@joshlewis8860]

That scream taking us into the last two lines of the song contains so much emotion, it gives me shivers every time. Straight goosebumps it’s so good. “Well I know what you want from me. You want the same as me. My redemption, eternal ascension, setting me free. So I’ll take what I want-then leave.” Then this man pours his entire being into this scream, all the pent up emotions, every word that went unsaid. Like if he’s leaving he may as well let it all out. “You make me wish I could disappear. You make me wish I could disappear.”

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Knew you would love this one! They’re just absolute fire! I love artists/ bands that defy genre. Sleep Token, REN, Falling in Reverse, Bad Omens. All defy genre and have insane ranges. 🖤

[@djchaddeus]

This song hits the hardest for me... Both musically and personally 🤘🖤🤘😎

[@JustGerryNow]

Aaaaaah I've taken a break watching KZbin reactions but I'm so enjoying your Sleep Token journey!! I got into them last year with their new album and now they're my favourite band ever! I have a few recs of specifically the clean vocals that I think you will absolutely love (there are a lot i'm not sorry). These aren't even recs for reactions just these songs are so freaking gorgeous and I love them so much, and I hope you listen to them!! Off of their newest album: - Chokehold - Aqua Regia - Granite - Are You Really Okay? - Apparition - Euclid Off of their second album: - Atlantic - High Water - The Love You Want (has a music video!) - Fall For Me (best listened to right after The Love You Want, also has a music video) - Missing Limbs Off of their first album: - Dark Signs - Sugar - Blood Sport - Blood Sport (from the room below)
