Sleep Token - The Summoning For The First Time | BSSB REACTS

[@pushpopLoC909]

The lasers are pointing at all major arteries in the body that can kill. He's pointing them out to almost showcase an image of how someone could know all your weaknesses and take advantage of it in the game of love. To put it as simply as I could imagine at least. That's kind of been the theme honestly but you can easily interpret it as grief as well. Anything you've ever loved is essentially what Sleep Token speak loudly about and I'm always reeled in for that.

Damn this is this first time ive seen it explained that way. Super dope

[@sarahbrice6282]

Vessel is the only singer. He has an incredible vocal range. He can go from screaming to swooning your socks off all in the same song😂 a good song to hear his range and talent is "Take Me Back to Eden".

[@PenitientOne]

They have background singers, you can hear them in some songs

[@sarahbrice6282]

@PenitientOne it's all Vessel on the albums, he layers his vocals. Live, yes, but not on the albums

Here's the brief Sleep Token story. The singer (Vessel) was in a really toxic relationship with a previous musical partner. It all went bad and he funneled the raw emotion into three albums about that and the way he dealt with that pain. He decided to mask up because he thought the music was more important than the person singing it. He decided on a mythos surrounding the band saying that an ancient God named Sleep contacted him in a dream and that each song is an offering to that deity. It's really just a metaphor for this healing journey he's been on. So if you are looking for song meanings just assume they are about a past relationship that went bad or they are being sung to an Old God...lol Vessel and the drummer (ii) write all the songs and in the studio it's just them with Vessel playing everything but drums for the most part. They have other members when they tour who spice things up in their own way. They're generally anonymous but their identities are out there if you go searching and you can find Vessel's earlier band, but I think that they would rather stay as anonymous as possible. For their latest albums, each song has an avatar which is what you see in the video so there's no real backstory for them yet. They are really varied in their musical genres, sometimes within an individual song. Most of their songs are amazing but it depends on what you are into. Most don't go full heavy screaming but there are a couple. I'd suggest Chokehold, Take Me Back to Eden, and Ascenionism from this latest album. You really can't go wrong and you'll find a lot of melodic songs especially on their first two albums.

The whole discography is wild and is a story. It all has Easter eggs. It's all so good.Yall should hear the live drum solo in this song! There's lore. All the album covers have codes and messages. There's live messages. There was one interview in 2017 with vessel that set up the story line and then the next was recent with ii on drumeo.

Welcome to the Sleep Tokers Cult 😶‍🌫️💨🤘🏻

[@gotchyaa5747]

From one stoner to another let them take you on a journey. Everyone’s journey will be different. You lol be here for the ride of yours Euclid is a good one. But i would suggest starting from album 1 and going all the way through

[@tommyjohnson43]

The singer is a gamer , so the soundtrack thing fits , lots of video games have iconic scores.

[@meeralmmg1991]

Oh this is such a unique reaction to Sleep Token, i really hope yall do more of them because i freaking love this point of view yall have. 🙏🤍

[@meeralmmg1991]

Id like to drop some suggestions from them in case yall want 1-Take me back to eden 2-Chokehold 3-Granite 4-The offering (this ones my favorite)

[@caffs7777]

As a fellow stoner, Sleep Token is the best ride you can take 😉

[@JewelsLeigh]

Watch Drumeo presents an offering from ii, The Summoning he plays the luve version where he adds a drum solo. We're a very forgiving fsn base. I enjoyed your interpretation of the visualizer and the looks of confusion when the song went funk.

[@earthscorcher]

I wish it were a forgiving fan base, but glad you haven't had many negative interactions.

[@KashtheDegen]

Dude in the blue sweater likes the less heavy ST and dude on the left likes the heavier side of ST…keep doing reactions man! ST has all of your favorite musical parts! Here for it! Worship!!!!!

[@Danileu1175]

This was fun ! 😂❤ Greetings from Germany

[@Andy513Gonzalez]

Appreciate yall A⚡️G Always Grinding

[@BloodlustNightingale]

From a fellow stoner, I love the vibes here. Sleep Token would be a great journey to watch unfold with the dynamic you both have. With one of you being more embracing of the heavy, and the other more keen on the melodic/atmospheric tones, this band will give you all of it. I’ve seen people who are a little less nuanced in metal not take to the summoning right away… I think it may be the wonky time signatures. I think ascensionism or the apparition on this same album would be a good choice next. The apparition is a little shorter and more straight forward… ascensionism if you still want the longer proggy feel, but it’ll still be a little more fine tuned to what I believe the guy in the blue would jam to. Hope to see you guys do more ST reactions. Worship, friends 🖤

[@AMikeStein]

Actually at their core both Sleep token and Coheed see similar in the fact the they’re both what you could call a concept band. As opposed to a concept album, all sleep token does is tell a singular story across all their albums, coheed does the same thing, except for one album.

[@hitman9198]

You definitely should check out the video from Drumeo that their drummer II has. If you like their drummer. I personally think he is amazing. There is a video that roughly an hour long with multiple songs. But there is one of just the summoning that i highly recommend. Also for more songs i recommend Take me back to Eden and Ascensionism. For an older song check out The Offering. Definitely subscribing for more.

[@AMikeStein]

Ok so for this album all the videos are are just these different gods. Imagine a big temple with individual rooms each having their own god in it. I think there are 7 gods in total, one you never see which is the top of the pantheon.

[@loriec2452]

When you both reached for your cigarettes and lit up was after sex fire. Subscribed.

[@richardeyes5159]

Great reaction amazing band but for story telling you need to listen to iron maiden the dance of death live

[@TB-sp9jy]

Here to Worship!
