The Story of Sleep Token

[@inappodcast]

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for watching! As I mention in the video, this is my first stab at doing a story of/deep dive into a band's career, so I appreciate any constructive feedback. Along with that, if there are any other bands you love and/or would like me to do another video for, sound off below. The next one is already in the works. 😉

Bring me the horizon

[@justadexdpup]

The London show where Vessel lost his voice brought me to tears. The guy is bouncing around passionately the crowd literally screaming like a true ritual of worship. Thats art

[@JennaGraceBlah]

Makes me worry he's not screaming right though. Maybe he was just sick but if you don't train to scream properly it can damage your vocal cords. If you are properly trained you can scream for hours with no damage or negative effects.

[@xxnovatitanxx326]

I just want this known for all the video gamers here. I was at the teeth of god tour...specifically in asheville. VESSEL PLAYED THE HALO THEME ON PIANO

[@inappodcast]

That sounds amazing!

[@utube.190]

I was there !!! Wish I'd been on the floor,but still epic❤

[@xxnovatitanxx326]

@utube.190 kinda the same but I also liked the theatrical feeling ya know?

[@utube.190]

​@@xxnovatitanxx326 Agree,honestly didn't even feel real

[@adamhundley551]

Nice 👌

[@rinderknorpelmuhle1790]

What the fans did at Wembley was, I think, one of the best things that can happen to a band.Namely, to give back the love and solidarity that the band normally gives to the fans.And I can only confirm this from the concerts I've been to. Sleep Token fans are some of the most open and friendly fans ever.

[@MaeveArterius]

What the fans did was absolutely amazing and beautiful. I wish more fan bases were as wonderful as this one.

[@shannonnaish347]

I got to go to the Teeth of God tour in Colorado and to hear them live is.... Otherworldly. I highly. HIGHLY. Recommend it. Also thank you for a timeline! So well done.

[@wilsonhsubmth]

I am just so happy that I am living in an era where Sleep Token exists.

[@tomia89]

Sleep token have become my favourite band of all time, i have listened ALOT of different kind of music of my 35 year of life. And they are just something REALLY special with their music, and how deeply they can connect me with music

[@GabbaViking]

This! 🖤

[@kevinmyles6369]

Totally feel ya. Not gonna lie, it took me few years but since last year's Take Me Back album everything clicked and my fave band now! 😍😍

[@suekauder2725]

Absolutely agree - I'm 68 and I get lost in their music every day - Worship🖤🤍❤

[@willtheelectrician8184]

Thank you for putting this together. Sleep Token is my new favorite band of all time for 2 or 3 years now (sorry TOOL). It’s nice to get some better insight to their origin story.

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much, glad to hear you enjoyed the video and got something out of it.

[@plinplinplonbutwhole6908]

I still get goosebumps hearing thousands of voices to sing in unison to help Vessel perform. I wish i was there coz id also pour my every heart and soul singing in behalf of him and for him. Then he hit us with bloodsport at the last part. Id be crying in the floor. God, I love this Band so bad...

[@RealTroyE23]

Thanks for covering them, worship!

[@inappodcast]

WORSHIP

[@andybonk365]

fair play !! any old heads hating need to wake up and see the struggle and the absolute push back the band did. Love or hate the music they did wonders for bands after them.

[@brianalmeida1964]

Very well researched and excellently presented! Great job. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it.

[@melodyaminian9008]

Thank you for putting this history together. Excellent job!

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much, happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@kevinmyles6369]

Not your average band but a phenomenon, a consciousness cuz of the way they connect with so many people from all ages. They do the right thing at the right time in their music.. it goes deep, really deep emotionally ❤️❤️ worship More than well deserved headline slot btw on Download fest 2025 🙏🏻

[@daniella_bb]

This is just so amazing, thank you so much for putting this together!! I've started listening to them a year ago around october and it has changed my mind completely. Indeed we never rest from trying to decypher the lore/the meanings of the lyrics but that is what makes them ethereal and majestic. So proud to see how far the boys have come and excited to see where they will go❤️ worship 🙏

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much for checking out the video and for the kind words. Glad to hear you liked it!

[@PunttiTJ]

Worship

[@inappodcast]

WORSHIP

[@PunttiTJ]

@@inappodcast I think I worshipped too much. I got most of their merch and tattoo of their logo on my left shoulder. One thing looking back on the video, which would've been a good talking point, is their merch and marketing of it. They make such a good quality merch and they are not afraid to market it.

[@NdrsOrs]

I made my dream come true.....traveling from Estonia to Belgium (sorry London's airports are too far from city LOL) just to see Sleep Token live. I'm 39 yo man who lost hope in new music (you know the grass was greener in the past thing) but I fell in love with them and I can say...they are my FAVOURITE band.

[@kcbrimhall]

Love this video and appreciate the research! Just wanted to mention the difference between your mic volume and the video clips is almost a jumpscare 😄 Made listening at a normal volume a little tough. Thank you for the great content!

[@inappodcast]

Thanks for the kind words, and for the constructive feedback! The audio levels seemed fine to me during editing - maybe I got a little lost in it after hearing it back so many times - but I'll definitely be taking it onboard to take extra care for future videos. 😊

[@alexanderproctor4588]

Some people know the true names of the members but we still keep it to our selves

[@inappodcast]

Exactly! I'm not making that decision for people, so kept it out.

[@mattcore0088]

It's a secret I'll take to my grave.

[@FlochsTopGuy]

im one of those people. I'll follow the man behind Vessel to the ends of the earth no matter what he does.

[@CaroleEvans93436]

The lead singer and drummer are exceptional writers. Their lyrics move me to tears....

[@RVFFICA]

​@@FlochsTopGuytried looking up his other works/features with piano etc but couldn't find much. Just wanted to hear his Influence in other artists working behind the scenes. (heard someone say he ghost wrote and did keys for other people but he might've been spoofing or BS'ing)

[@markmcelroy5527]

Great video Zach I learned somethings I didn’t know from this feels a privilege to be at the early shows and see the band grow 🙂🖤

[@inappodcast]

Thanks pal, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@rileyxsko]

There's something incredibly poetic about Vessel becoming a Conductor to the crowd.

[@ethanhenderson5840]

I found Ascensionisn on my own, then listened to the album. Found out a friend of mine was listening to them also and have loved them ever since

[@robertwrightson6455]

Very interesting, my son is a follower of ST and is going to see them in concert soon. I am an old rocker who has seen just about everything from Desmond Decker, Alice Cooper to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds but Sleep Token seem to be an advancement of the fascinating and illusiory goth subculture. Good stuff.

[@darias9937]

Thank you for your job! I spent great time listening to you! Keep going

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Amzizizooza]

Can’t wait to watch this over lunch, as a treat☺️

[@inappodcast]

Wahoo! I hope you enjoy!

[@HPMichalke]

Thank you so much for your deep dive! this was really interesting and entertaining!!!

[@jeanproctor3663]

What a great video! Thank you for everything you've put in researching, putting it together and presenting it. Excellent work!

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much, happy to hear you enjoyed it.

[@guishe7071]

Cool video! Really enjoyed learning more about them

[@BrandiBaird-d6g]

This was a great video. Thank you!

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much, glad to hear you enjoyed it.

[@shabblabbat]

ah, thanks for the insight into Holding Absence's song Purge with a phenomenal piano player we all love.

[@chloejanelle1831]

This was a really great video :) thank you

[@inappodcast]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@katherinerussell27]

Really in depth research and info 🙌🏻 cheers dude

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much, glad to hear you enjoyed it. 😊

[@411TimeL0w]

Awesome video! Just subscribed and looking forward to more of these history of bands videos. Keep up the great work! 👏

[@inappodcast]

Thank you so much, glad to have you join the ride. 😊

[@emmasturman]

I found this video very informative... After Sleep Token have just been announced as headlining Download 2025, I don't know much about them so was curious to find out more. Thanks for making the video ☺

[@BlackCat0592]

Well done. Great detail. Only thing was your mic was quieter than the edits other than that really good 👍🏻

[@inappodcast]

Glad you liked the video, and I appreciate the feedback on the mic volume too. It seemed okay with me during the edit, but it's something I'll definitely take into extra consideration in future videos. 😊

[@rebely8608]

I am a new fan of Sleep Token within the last 2 weeks and I really enjoyed your video! Thank you!

[@inappodcast]

Thanks so much. Welcome to the Sleep Token fandom.

[@JournalsJourneys]

Loved the video! Really interesting getting a bit of the band’s origins

[@tanasmom1969]

Thank You ! I really enjoyed this video and subbed for more.

[@hfranke07]

I will see them in just 3 days time in Hamburg...... cant wait.

[@liou1369]

You are going to love it! They are absolutely going to exceed your expectations. I was in Amsterdam 2 days ago. It was the best I have ever seen and heard and I have been to a lot of concerts/ festivals. Have fun!

[@Goluboy_Vasilek]

Мы молим Sleep Token о том, что бы они наконец посетили Россию. Наше русское комьюнити, обожает эту группу, её музыку и её участников. Надеюсь, однажды наша скромная мечта осуществиться и ребята посетят нашу холодную и суровую родину

[@Knochenbrecher-2-3-42]

this was yesterday and I'm happy :)

[@inappodcast]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, thank you.

[@Star_R666]

I prefer not to know who they are. I knew the members of Kiss long before they unmasked and I wish I never knew. LOL

[@the.hinderwomann]

Fantastic video!!! Worship

[@inappodcast]

Thank you so much, glad to hear you enjoyed it. WORSHIP

[@DarknessessB11]

I know the story but I appreciate a different look at them.

[@inappodcast]

Thanks, glad to hear you appreciate it.

[@EmceeCommon55]

The switch from talking to the jarring increase in volume for the music for the year change is really hard on the ears

[@Synmor]

The Estate of Darth Nihilus wants those N.I.L. royalities.

[@WestysPlaylistHub]

Download festival 2025 Saturday headliners. That's huge. Can't wait to see them later this month and Download Festival

[@lakka1148]

And Rock am Ring in Germany. One of 3 headliners on Sunday.

[@WestysPlaylistHub]

@lakka1148 I'd love to go there

[@Edd25164605]

Fantastic Band !

[@alexlief2072]

Now Sleep Token are headlining at Download 2025.

[@rexbry1]

I love this band but i dont think sleep tokens genre is Metal. After hearing all of their music i can say they kinda pop & rock.

[@inappodcast]

They definitely have a lot of metal traits weaving throughout a lot of their material, but they mix a lot of stuff in there.

[@ticklesmcqueen2702]

This guy is the same guy who burnt his mouth on a coffee because he liked it " before its cool"

[@wannabemazeta364]

Can someone please tell me the name of the songs 1:28 - 1:36?

[@maddadbricks]

1:28 is Summoning

[@maddadbricks]

1:36 is (I think) The Night Does Not Belong To God

[@maddadbricks]

No, I was wrong. 1:36 is the end of Euclid

[@wannabemazeta364]

@@maddadbricks thanks! do you know the one right after the summoning ?

[@inappodcast]

If you're talking about the transition clips, the snippets are 'The Summoning', 'The Offering', 'Vore', 'Alkaline' and 'Euclid'.

[@SrDirector]

Brow!!! Great content, just please!!! Learn to manage the volumes of your videos!!! Your voice is really low and the music soooo loud.

[@FailingArtist]

Not sure why they are “in metal.” They sing soft ballads. Vessel is a great lyricist and amazing at melodies. The rifts are good too, but certainly not metal.

[@inappodcast]

They have a lot of metal traits weaving throughout a lot of their material, along with their aesthetics, but they certainly weave a lot of different styles and sounds.

[@1godgodgodgodgod]

KZbin made Jake Paul famous. Stop pretending .. I'd rather hear Poison the well any day of the week

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

The 2 second audio bites during the transitions are infuriatingly jarring. III's birth certificate was never obtained, clearly you bately scraped the surface whilat researching. Also, not a podcast. Podcast format is long form with no cuts, not a guy editing his spare room project.

[@inappodcast]

I appreciate the constructive criticism and feedback, but your idea of what a podcast is or isn't is incorrect. Sorry.

[@DharamsalaChickRach]

Meow!!!

[@Muzzle801]

I know who they are... But I'm not telling. Well... They're as anon as Slipknot at this point 😅

[@lmcdermott96]

Thumbs down for including that god awful blue grass at the end

[@BearijuanaTV]

Sad to see that a member of the ST community is so close-minded to other genres. Especially considering ST themselves don’t confine themselves to a single genre. I’m willing to bet if ST put out a blue grass album you’d be first in line for the preorder 🤷🏻

[@inappodcast]

That's a shame to hear. Thank you for watching though. 😊

[@prestonakin6618]

poor emo kids make lackluster prog goth dirges

[@kai_plays_khomus]

I haven't seen something as pretentious as this band ever before.

[@inappodcast]

They're not for everyone

[@ObiWanBinLaden]

I’m stuck between Sleep Token being really cool music and lore to them being the most influential band of the last 35 years.

[@leoxgamer833]

I hope the situation with III was properly solved

[@inappodcast]

From what I understand, I believe it is all resolved.
