When my boy said "I love when there's drastic mood changes" I couldn't wait for the song to get... *THERE* 😂

[@13kellyr]

I was thinking the same thing🤣

[@weirdVampiress]

Same!!! I said “oh, just you WAIT!” 😂

[@markgarcia72]

@@13kellyr yeah I love to see these videos just for those moments I’ve already experienced.

[@Toxicity96786]

My exact same thought 😂 like you don’t even know what’s about to hit you big dawg 😂😂

[@massaj88]

Let's be honest that's the reason everyone is here

[@WyllowNorth]

"I just punched you in the chest, but let's be beautiful for a few seconds" yup, that sums it up 😂

[@UnXplainable1]

Every song of theirs is a ride and a blend of all sorts of genres. They just do whatever they want - no conventions, no rules - and it works across the board. They just don't miss. Hope to see you guys do more from them. Worship.

This, Worship.

embodiment of the melting pot

[@huskygal]

50+ year old woman here, and I love Sleep Token. My son and his partner are off to see them tomorrow in London, so jealous.

[@rottenbeast]

I wanna see them as they are in Sydney Australia atm and I’m not to far from the venue but it’ll cost a lot

[@xtop23]

That song is a fuckin masterpiece

[@haydenlee2696]

As someone who's been an adamant sleep token fan since late 2018 it feels so good to see all these new fans they're getting with their new music. Worship!

[@CrosshairM4A1]

new fan here

[@merleeuphoria1949]

​@@CrosshairM4A1Me too!!

[@mommachar6697]

Vessel has the ultimate talent to grap your attention, lift you up out of your seat, then gently brings you back to relax and your ready to hear more.......then it ends where you don't want the song to end. Perfect Artistry Hop onto the train ~ Worship🫶

[@frank7982]

"It's got Beauty... and the Beast" Perfect. One my favorite comments so far.

[@JustGerryNow]

if you love drastic mood changes, you're in for a HUGE treat with Sleep Token. Worship. (also the drummer is fucking phenomenal, there's a few drum cams on their channel)

[@danielleyoung3133]

Sleep token is a band u feel in your soul. They are super atmospheric like the deftones, I'd highly recommend hypnosis, alkaline, higher, and the offering by sleep token

[@TeleCarlitos]

My fav reaction of the band. Yep, they are amazing, to music fans and to musicians. Not in the show off sense, but in the creativity, art, and heart. Those chops they display, definitely are educated and professionals and have experience. This is no “band”, its a passion project. Jaw dropping and inspiring at the same time. Grammy worthy. If that were an actual thing.

[@weirdVampiress]

This song sent me to another universe. I close my eyes and I’m not on this earth anymore. Sleep Token is the fucking shit!

[@Mc_muffintop]

This song is a melodic masterpiece on so many levels.

[@nicholaslowe4254]

Out of the dozens and dozens of “The Summoning” reactions I’ve seen so far, this is easily my favorite! Everything about your reaction to this song is EVERYTHING that ST is! This is my first time to your channel and WILL NOT be the last! Keep it up! Cheers 🍻

[@AJvsEverything]

I've been listening to Sleep Token on shuffle for 3 days now and everything I've heard from them has been absolutely phenomenal in its own way...but this song...this master work...all I can do going forward is one thing...Worship.

[@DoYouWishThatYouLovedMe]

Nothing and no one compares. Never has, never will.

[@pikachujizzrainb0w]

Granite makes me go feral!!!! WORSHIP!!!

[@SimonaDrvek]

Absolutely loved your reaction and genuine excitement! This is definitely one of their heavier songs; their previous album was more melodic and slow, whereas Sundowning also has heavy parts you might enjoy! This band simply never misses and I've been obsessed with them for years ❤

[@mommachar6697]

Vessel is a vocal genius. He also produces the music, except the drums. His drummer is phenomenally talented. He knows just how to fill the pockets in perfectly. WORSHIP 🫶 Absolute perfect reaction👍

[@renskevanderhaagen5813]

Ah yes, the baby making metal, make a good girl bad (and yes on the hair pulling lol) this was a great reaction guys you made me laugh 😅❤

[@jameskeene3126]

They are anonymous because they don’t want to be known for their faces they want to be known for their music. All that matters to them is the music.

[@amsa928]

😂😂😂 love y’all’s reaction. To say that this band is “next level” is an understatement. Cant wait to see more from y’all.

[@TheMirandawise]

Confirmation - Vessel was absolutely doing some funky stuff with us when he released this 😏 The first listen was just unbelievable when it dropped since it was the second single given in 24 hours. Man, I love Sleep Token and every second of the musical journey spent with them. It's a good time to be alive to hear what masterpieces they come up with. And what an awesome reaction video too! It's my first time seeing you guys, so thanks for uploading. I really enjoyed this!

[@DanSkinny]

He does sound A LOT like Gavin Rossdale at the beginning but I highly doubt this is Gavin Rossdale. I honestly don’t care who he is - I’m all about their anonymity. The music is all that matters! Great reaction fellas!

[@TheBeardsShow]

Fun fact the drummer can do fast techy stuff as well, I'd recommend you check out his other band but that would give away his identity and that must be protected. Worship.

[@alexthefossilguy2754]

Welcome aboard the Sleep Token train! If you Want to start a deep dive here is a recommendation on a Sleep Token starter kit. The Offering, Jaws, Hypnosis, Sugar, Alkaline. You find the have no genre. They can do heavy, melodic, ambient, funky, sometimes all in the same song as you saw here. I love Eve they do

[@stephenairey4952]

This is the first time I've seen anyone recommend Sugar!! Honestly one of my faves, narrowly behind The Summoning - definitely one that's overlooked!

[@KieronDSFX]

Subbed in readiness for your one way ticket into the sleep token banger factory! #WORSHIP

[@sinluze]

Dont have to react but Sleep Tokens version of Hey Ya (Outkast) is honestly one of the most beautiful things I've heard in years. Also show how sad the song actually is. Should definitely listen!

[@maximilianschmidt424]

Sleep Token is out of this world WORSHIP

[@richardlovell2732]

ere's the thing. I discovered Sleep Token a couple of years ago and was instantly hooked. I have been listening to music for as long as I can remember and I rarely don't have music playing no matter what I'm doing. However, I am nearly 43 and have not been as obsessed with a band the same way I am with these guys since I was a teenager. They may possibly be my favourite band but it feels wrong to say after only a couple of years whereas some bands I've been listening to for 30. They are gonna be huge and I highly recommend checking them out. Their music is so varied and ethereal, their song crafting and technical ability is astounding. I am seeing them live for the first time with my son tonight and I have not been this excited for a gig in years.

[@jeremyzengler5287]

For me it sounds like Tool, Gavin Rossdale from Bush, Tears for Fears, love it

[@MrJdub322]

Love the content guys! I would highly recommend reacting to “Chokehold “ their other new single. It’s a bit more of their traditional musical formula but still very different. I think it would add to the intrigue for you . This band is phenomenally talented and capable of so many different musical takes . Their discography is all over the place musically. Thank you for the upload, subscribed!

[@BillWood2791]

The singer sounds like the guy from Hozier (Take Me To Church).

[@neddiesounds964]

Your reaction to them was almost exactly like mine when I heard their song The Offering from several years ago! They are amazing. It's been just Vessel and the Drummer doing everything. You should check out Alkaline or The Offering.

[@kennyhoffmann5649]

The solo part of this song gives me huge Dream Theatre vibes I absolutely dig it.

[@Ana7hema]

Nothing is official but The Summoning, and Chokehold which came the day before, should be part of their third album called Take Me Back To Eden. Sleep Token is surely a band to get into, or at least to try to get into but definitely, do not have expectations based on this song. In fact, do not have any expectations at all cause you can't predict Sleep Token. Just listen and vibe with their sound as it goes.

[@jumpinggakflash2313]

Perfection. ❤❤🎶🎶

[@kamilooss2113]

Everything is so tight I can say in this song. If you focus enough you can hear so many sound. There is like 7-8 sounds and melodies they topping each other. Blending and mixing together perfectly..wow

[@owenbenjamin6413]

This is an amazing reaction. Best band going right now! ❤

[@richardpalermo9020]

When you play this for your wife the babies will follow.

[@robtater5543]

I love watching react channels to this song just to watch the faces when THE PART comes in!! This song and this band are a GAME CHANGER!! LOVE IT!

[@willtheelectrician8184]

This song is a masterpiece!

[@Predicador_Maniaco]

Worship

[@rickbaker6077]

My favorite band right now! Welcome to the ride!

[@polodrums94]

"..it's like making love"..;that's right guys, SP invented a new genre: Sex Metal

[@Motherguz]

This is making Grandmas rock again. It's an experience. Magic!

[@russelltyler9363]

SUBBED. You guys put a huge smile on my face, and as a Sleep Token fan watching folks go on the journey for their first ST ride is so cool! Greetings from the UK.

[@rickperales8544]

Dudes voice is all over the place, could cut butter or iron, really appreciate the difference between other bands

[@digitalmichael]

Love your guys' take. Subbed, hoping to hear some more Sleep Token reacts.

[@vagrantender]

I love a good set and charismatic guys for a channel. You got my sub.

[@mindybowen7313]

Like His voice melts me 😂❤

[@ReXtion88]

I love this band, and I loved this reaction. So happy you've discovered Sleep Token, they're an incredible band. You have a new follower in me

[@brandonray61]

It's definitely not Gavin Rossdale but I can hear what you're hearing in the verses with the bush call out

[@agreen67]

From chunk to funk 🔥

[@domesticated_kat]

We need that on a shirt tbh

[@phill8712]

Sleep token is amazing.

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

That was a crazy awesome ride that I wanna take again.

[@user-gy1jn4sb6i]

I think that his voice is very, The Cure or Depeche Mode. Especially if you listen to Bloodsport etc.

[@PlebMufasa]

Off the bat I thought about tool haha

[@bryanscarborough00]

I’m so glad y’all did a reaction to this band. I’ve been following y’all since day one and been following sleep token since day one. I would love to see you do more reactions on this band. try their song ALKALINE next please please please

[@Cornchps827]

I know you guys used the rollercoaster metaphor but that sound reminds me more of a Boeing 747 a second before crash landing in your face

[@pauldavidmiller7424]

Listen to the rest of their work and they’ll definitely be your favorite. Lol

[@Philthy82]

Sleep Tokens song arrangements are just 🤌👌🤟

[@kevincucumber1118]

Sleep token is truly a religious experience in the figurative and literal sense

[@collindougherty8398]

Please get you spouses to react to this song

[@Siendorf]

Definitely need to do more sleep Token

[@domesticated_kat]

Great vid!

[@KironKabir]

their music makes you feel like you're walking on a different planet

[@domesticated_kat]

Worship 🥀

[@samrubino6201]

Would love to see you do next by them: The Offering Alkaline Higher

[@hunterflaherty8676]

It sounds like the singer from breaking benjamin

[@Taylor-bw4zg]

13:02 "theyre setting the mood" u dont even know buddy lol

[@EvansExplorations]

I cant un-hear the fact the dude in green sounds EXACTLY like Joe Rogan

[@wickedPrints3256]

Nice ear to pick up on the British accent of Vessel in comparison to Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale. You have a good ear.

[@_piccoloser]

Lol, welcome to the cult! It starts slow with a "maybe these guys could be in my top 10" to listening to nothing but Sleep Token for months in a row.

[@spagsketti]

Sounds like the guy from Volbeat

[@sandcake]

Worship 🫶

[@ninja3687]

I'd recommend Alkaline, Jaws, and Dark Signs.

[@bluepilledalpha]

I wish there were more jaws and dark signs reactions!

[@PardonMyReaction]

Let’s see if we can make that happen!

[@ridiculousric1779]

Please checkout Sleep Token- The Offering or Bloodsport or Alkaline!!! Sleep token is phenomenal.

[@kurtallen2998]

Reminds me of Fear Factory

[@FlourishExpire]

If you love the whole mood change in songs, check out The Contortionist - Flourish👌🏼

[@PardonMyReaction]

Like them a lot!!

[@FlourishExpire]

@@PardonMyReaction great taste ❤️

[@davej.4989]

There has been speculation who the lead singer is and some people think that they know. A little research will lead you down that path if you want to know. Worship.

[@donniebuster5200]

Vessel sounds like Hozier. The end of this song sounds like Hozier. Vessel is Hozier lol.

[@pbplauralfilms]

You can find out who Vessel is in a five minute Google search 😂

[@dougc9130]

If you are not familiar with 'tool' I think you'll like them. I'll start you off easy with "the pot".

[@KHZ1986]

need a cigarette after that lol

[@janliebens9621]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MadailinBurnhope]

both British so the Bush comparison makes sense

[@Reels_and_gills]

The guy has no name he hides his identity.

[@hickorywhat]

This song literally f**ks.

[@user-gy1jn4sb6i]

The riffs are very Metallica but not too

[@shawmmathews889]

Two weeks ago it was Polyphia... now it's this mess.

[@shawmmathews889]

You guys lost all credibility! This is Baby Metal meets Evanescence...lol! It's not even coherent. So pretentious.

[@shawmmathews889]

This is theatrical crap.

[@uppotukki]

They're magicians of music. Sleep Token is awesome.
