Sleep Token In Session From Maida Vale

[@speakerdestroyer425]

One of the few times a vocalist sounds better live than on the studio recordings. Whoever this guy is, he has a beautiful voice.

[@mentaltelepathy24]

For real.

Took me a second to realize that this is live.

[@evaj2556]

To the creator of this channel. If you ever get to read this, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for sharing this. I love early Sleep Token ❤ Back then they probably had hopes and dreams like any other band. And now from 2018, the year this video was uploaded to the current day, January 1st 2024, not only are they most successful band on the planet right now, they have changed how metal music is conceived, constructed and delivered! Love them or hate them, this band is here to stay and I for one are excited to consume the next chapter of their amazing journey! ❤

[@TheGloria21]

yes... this is just the beginning for them 🖤

[@ShrimpTechStocks]

Greatest band ever in my opinion

[@MidwestDrumner]

They've definitely taken off, but still nowhere near being the most successful band on the planet right now.

[@weebsarecringe2102]

"most successful band on the planet right now" - eh no.

[@Stephie_G338]

They worked hard and are still climbing. Their future will be brilliant. And I can’t wait for the next evolution!❤

[@akshitjha6251]

Vessel sounds exactly like on the EP's. Fuckin amazing!

Just found this and my god do I love his vocals - I prefer them live

[@Nathdood]

Nazareth is such a vibe.

[@Bloodyria]

Come on KZbin, why didn't I see this before? I've been listening to them nonstop for a year now and it still blows my mind how insanely talented they're. Worship. (And leave their identities alone, they're wearing masks for a reason, show some respect.)

I am convinced that whatever algorithm KZbin uses supresses great music intentionally. I cannot fathom how some of their vids have views in the low 1000s, and how a band with 40K followers and has relatively few decent live videos which only get 100 odd views and 3 likes.....No way its legit

[@tung123451]

Stay strong! How you doing? Glad we are into the same music

[@Void-Realm]

I can relate to this. After a similar experience after feeling like I'd lost everything, lost all my friends and the help on the NHS being shit when I did attempt to take my life so I just fell into addiction. I still am trying to get through addiction, still have no friends, life is arguably worse and my mum has cancer so I still think about just killing myself but I haven't tried again. Sleep Token seems to really help when I'm really low. You're always more than welcome to reach out. I hate the idea of anyone else having to feel this way. It's not worth ending things though because you'll die anyway eventually. May as well ride it out and see if things get better somehow.

[@TaffruYT]

live on and see sleep token play live! that is whats currently keeping my shipwreck of a boat still floating, the day i see sleep token play live, i'll be good to go to drop the fucking anker.

[@QueenCheese93]

....can't believe they played Nazareth on radio... I'm part of the camp that doesn't like the suggested violence in it, but also respect the song's existence and meaning. Just not my cup of tea. But because of the violence that's why I'm surprised it was on radio

[@Fiachbuay1987]

I love this band, but one thing that kinda creeps me out is that their aesthetic is cult like. Then you mix his beautiful voice and music to it, just feel right but it works soo welll

[@TaffruYT]

sign me up i'd be in a cult for sleep token

[@radianteclipse132]

Too much bass in the mix......detracts from the disturbing beauty when it sounds like you've got a everything on room effect but bass is DI

[@unbecoming9321]

Dude they are probably playing in a room the size of a cupboard

[@viktorhokes5610]

Its guitar, not bass.

[@limestone_xyz]

Love the band, love the drum parts, love the sound in general - but I particularly hate the snare tuning. It sounds like some "I don't care, just crank it" tuning on a 12" side snare from the early 2000s pop-punk/metalcore days...

[@NOPPYify]

You know what? I actually said the same thing to myself when I first heard it. But then it grew on me. After watching a couple live shows of them it just baffles me how well his snare cuts through the noise and fill up the room. Especially with all that reverb

[@metalblakedowns]

On recording though, their snare is fucking bonkers One of my favourite sounding snares

[@Poofter]

No it doesn't bro shut the fuck up it sounds like a goddamn gunshot and you know it but you're right on this live radio recording with absolutely no effects. It doesn't sound like what they envision on their albums or even live on their own set, for that matter. Yeah true, but their snare choice is fucking nutty.

[@Void-Realm]

@@metalblakedowns you're totally right.

[@steve.hoffman]

As a lifelong drummer, the uniqueness of the snare is one of the first things that drew me to this band. Stayed for the emotion of it all. Amazed I have only now seen/heard this performance on KZbin.
