[@x0scimy0x]

Their drummer never fails to just amaze me. Crazy chops.

[@SoundlinkTV]

This whole band is just insane live! Like I will be honest, I had heard of them, never listened, but one of my guys that was covering this festival with me was like “you have to see sleep token” I’m glad I did, they’re my new favorite band.

[@giantcerealbowl2120]

Usually a band with a dark presentation like theirs take themselves way to seriously in their live performances. These guys are a total VIBE and we’re all here for it

[@aarongaines3556]

It's the fact they don't try. They just vibe and love what they do. It's art at It's truest form.

[@melody7-12]

[@rpie1382]

I want to see them perform in a amphitheater at night to enhance the mood it would be epic

[@elijahholcomb9360]

This band is dope but probably the least equipped for a broad daylight performance lol

[@jason_odonnell]

They are taking themselves too seriously unfortunately. The bass player is upstaging Vessel big time. I’d prefer to see waaaay less of the band like Tool. Maybe a big screen with imagery & focus more on Vessel. Great drummer. Damn. Atypical vocals though, generic guitar tones. Meh.

[@GhostEye31]

Vessel may not want us to see his face but he absolutely wants us to know he's shredded.

[@Valineris_The_Phoenix]

He's more on the skinny side. Would love to see his face. Imagine them being in music for thirty years from now and no one knows who they are lol

[@Dream_elixir_band]

@@Valineris_The_Phoenix if you do a little digging, you can find out who he is pretty easily. But I wouldn’t recommend it, it kind of spoils the whole mystery lol

its crazy how they play in a festival and then casually walk into the crowd without all their outfits and just chill and vibe with all of us to the rest of the festival, chills!

[@mentaltelepathy24]

This band is awesome - I hope they never expose who they are - I like the mystery.

[@dallasreynolds2962]

If you want to it doesn't take a ton of work to find them. But I agree as long as they don't publicly acknowledge it it keeps the focus on the aura and the music.

[@technickn9n3]

the drummer n singer aint too hard to find crazy sick musicians

[@Tigerjunky93]

Yea the drummer and singer are pretty much known at this point but you still gotta hunt a little. The mystery is better, though the singers previous stuff is really good

[@TheForg0ttenD3mon]

This band's performance is the definition of loving what you do and owning it.

[@kitten170]

My bf played one of their songs earlier today and I had to ask who the band was. Once I found out, I drove 30 minutes home just listening to their songs... entranced... feeling all kinds of emotions. I didn't want my drive to come to and end but it had. Their music soothes my soul and engulfs it in a loving feeling. Everything is just so... deep.

[@Jlmproductions99]

Very well put! shout out to your BF for spreading the word :)

[@JLVCII]

New songs are very good

[@Inherit_Drums]

I feel this

[@dustinjackson4761]

Beautifully said. It's always wonderful getting lost in Sleep Token. It's like going for a swim in the ocean at night - it's risky, soothing, terrifying and serene at the same time.

[@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960]

[@happycanayjian1582]

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve only just learned about these guys a day or two ago. Now, excuse me while I go download anything and everything I can find on them! Wow. 😳

[@scottfielding6179]

40 years a drummer and I LOVE watching good drummer's FLOW in movement. It's a lot more rare than you think, just fluidity as you can see limbs and body move to perfect unison to what the brain is feeding them. This drummer is a FLOW MACHINE.

[@yarzy]

Just give this video/band a year. They are too good to fade.

[@SoundlinkTV]

I hope!

[@KaguyaIzanagi]

He's so pitchy and awful. Bitch can't sing. Please find better bands. These idiots suck.

[@IronTensei]

This is surreal. Been a while since I've witnessed a metal band create an entire new sound in the genre and completely perform it with all their ability. I love seeing them dance and choreograph their emotions, not a moment wasted!

[@lastditch727]

Ok so we've established this band is a must see live situation.

[@hashslingingslasher2613]

They’re so damn talented, I like how I hear people say they’re weird cuz the way they dance and dress but that’s the best part ,the band are freaks of nature talent wise , there’s no human face attached to them just a pure unit of entity and passion through their music. I’m moved , when I was a kid slipknot , daft punk , blue man group gave this mystery too but ALL were musical geniuses like you couldn’t suck at music to do what they did , I’d even throw in SOAD in there too not because of how they dressed but only because how unique and unorthodox their sound was at the time you either were disturbed by these types of artists or completely blown away, bravo 👌

[@christopherbarclay7482]

I've just realised how they get such great guitar sounds . It's a 12 string electric not your standard 6 string . The depth of clearly defined sound is now how they can be so ethereal . It's also the 5 string bass that sends it so out there . Can't wait till they tour Australia .

[@Eyeyamgod]

Wrong. In this video it's a 8 string Jackson. He also uses a 30 inch scale baritone by Gretch and it's a 6 string. What gives it the tight tone is that the bass isn't tuned as low. Only guitar is. This is what gives it more texture because tuning bass so low you lose that thump and you're left with the sub frequencies.

[@venomstellium]

If anyone is new to sleep token, this video is one of the best examples I’ve seen (thank you daylight) of how Vessel presents the offering to the deity Sleep at the end. According to the band’s admission, each song they have created is an offering (or “token”) to Sleep, and so you’ll notice when they perform live, vessel will end the songs in some sort of offertory pose like this, sending up the performance to Sleep.
