THESE DRUMS!! | THE OFFERING | SLEEP TOKEN

[@CloakerJosh]

I tune in for two reasons: a) To see the boys experience a particular Sleep Token track for the first time, and b) to see what Eric is drinking beer out of

[@Nathdood]

LOL TRUE

[@edj4843]

LITERALLY, he has the most random containers and it's such a random thing but so entertaining

[@MetalBere]

And Kyle and Eric t-shirts 😂

[@idreamofire]

It’s APPLE JUICE!!!! 😂

[@kaylabroe1632]

Same!!! This is a good guilty pleasure to have

[@mack2132]

Vessel goes absolutely ham when they play this live, he screams and bleghs and growls during the whole breakdown. It’s glorious to see

[@cenobytecode]

He's taught us an important lesson...we all should dance like nobody is watching and shout to the rooftops. We only hold ourselves back, so just let go.

[@ryanford5320]

Their energy of the live shows is insane...and the crowds feel it for sure!! It's been over a week since I was able to see it and I still get goosebumps replaying it in my head

[@DarcPakla]

God I wish they would just drop a live album! Some of the songs live I feel are better than recorded!

[@matthewsolomon8269]

Their drummer has always been a monster. The 2nd album This Place Will Become Your Tomb is practically a drum clinic. His precision and the complexity of his fills are just nutty.

[@shungite4720]

He's an absolute showman in the live shows. He loves to work the crowd.

[@ColieBear18]

I wish I knew more about drumming so I could really appreciate it. I trust people saying how fucking good he is, I just lack knowledge 😂 I know chords and music theory so I understand all the rest of it but percussion is a big ole blank spot for me.

[@d3filedgaming691]

I couldn’t agree more. That album made me reconsider ever getting behind my kit again 😅

[@Nathdood]

a drum clinic lmao. i like that.

[@Nathdood]

@@shungite4720 lol him and 4. 4 was so much fun, and I was on his side up close when I saw them last year

[@fkuchta145]

This song has been more or less the closing song for their live shows. That "chunk" at the end is the perfect send off.

[@gerardomorales4078]

Yup! 🤘

[@michaelmilne5282]

It's so good live! The whole show is, but Vessel dancing around losing his mind is so incredible to see.

[@kingkoopa_]

This as the finale/closer song on the tour has been sick. I’m so glad I got to see them on this North American tour. I can’t wait for them to come back!

[@yamilink18]

​@@michaelmilne5282 For real! Vessel and iii dancing around is the energy that brings so much life to the show!

[@thewafflingdead4589]

Saw it last night at the Denver show, such a killer of a closer. The whole show was phenomenal, I couldn't believe how good they were live

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

Ooooh, this makes me so happy. I can’t wait to see the obsession unfold. Worship, fellas. 🙏🏼 Also, yes. The Offering was fucking dope as hell live. Vessel loses his mind and the crowd collectively screams ‘Take a Bite’. It’s a perfect moment.

[@dropthehammer1360]

They’ve been obsessed for a while now. Haha.

[@OphoisOne]

seeing them play The Offering (among another song or two) as one of the openers to a Polyphia show is how I learned about Sleep Token. Was definitely an experience.

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

@@dropthehammer1360- Ohhhh, it has just begun. When you listen to nothing else, that’s when it’s full blown. I used to love Killswitch Engage/Light the Torch, and I haven’t listened to them in over a year. Each of their albums are 10/10, One/Two/FTRB included. 😂

[@bobarcher5837]

@@AsAbove.SoBelow That sounds unbelievably boring...

[@sleepyhead5686]

Hearing it live was life changing honestly. I still have the video and cry over it

[@mama.bear22]

If you love the drumming here, II did a couple videos of himself playing the drum parts for a couple songs. Amazing.

[@cenobytecode]

..and the production on those offerings is crazy good!

[@Lunar_Asylum]

There is a reason this is one of their closing songs live. This man's energy while on stage to this song. III and IV have a blast and it's an amazing track to hear II finish out their show with. It gives a very final feel. 😊

[@Mockaworld]

I love how "unrefined" the old songs are, you can pretty much track their progression into the sound of Take me back to eden. The transitions are alot more crude early on, and get smoother throughout their 3 albums. Might be reading abit too much into it, but its almost as Vessel gets more comfortable with his emotions throughout the project of Sleep Token. It goes from raw and untampered in the beginning to controlled and poignant in TMBTE. love it

[@ensco7]

Wdym? The transitions in this are better than in most of TMBTE..

[@TokenArma]

You can really see it, especially with sugar you can see the general inspiration aswell as composition that really shines in take me back to Eden, which IMO is the fucking transcendent arc of their career, everything just feels so tailored and special compared to sundowning and tomb where not everything clicks but there are still absolute bangers

[@EastonTaylor-o9b]

At one point, Noah and bad omens wanted to get sleep token on tour but they were too busy at the time. It's the tour we didn't know we needed

[@jenniferhill6506]

I could die as fulfilled as I'm likely to get if I got the chance to see Bad Omens and Sleep Token perform together. If it weren't for me having discovered Bad Omens and the occasional Sleep Token song popping up on my Bad Omens playlist, I'd almost certainly have never discovered Sleep Token. Bad Omens was an INSTANT obsession for me, but Sleep Token took some time to grow on me and sink its hooks in. Thank GOD I hung in there with them and kept giving their music a chance, because now I feel as though I have discovered a band that is truly, not even being funny, otherworldly or somehow beyond my feeble human comprehension. The more I listen to Sleep Token, the more I realize that what Vessel is doing is just...I can't even put it into words. It's 10th dimension beyond space and time. It's driven and conceived from a place and power beyond our understanding. Vessel truly is a vessel that was chosen to deliver this remarkable experience to us, and what he is doing with Sleep Token truly is an experience. I had truly given up on music a long long time ago. Tool was the only band of any significance that we had left as far as I was concerned. I now have hope... though I really don't see how anyone is going to be able to ever make music again now that Sleep Token exists and has mastered its craft lol.

[@ImBatman-dk8eh]

I would be blubbering in the crowd

[@Justin.K2009]

That would've been so cool, but i dont blame em 2023 was Sleep tokens year

[@cdub462]

You should see Vessel dance to this song. It's so awesome. I can't wait for you guys to do Dark Signs and Sugar off this album. I'm here for it! 🤘❤️‍🔥🤘

[@silentmortis]

I saw this in concert and LET ME FUCKING TELL YOU, THE GOOSEBUMPS I GOT , THE MOST PIT WAS INSANE AND THEY WERE KILLING IT ON STAGE 😭

[@lauratyler9904]

No matter how familiar I already am with Sleep Token, y'all make me feel like I am listening to their music for the first time again and that is truly magical. I constantly regret taking their music for granted the first time around. I love your Sleep Token reactions and I always can't wait for the next upload! Thank you so much for letting us experience this with you. Much love from Texas

[@Lauren__M]

Sooo excited for levitate!! This whole album is amazing and quite emotional! The live version of the offering is even better

[@jaycarr5906]

Also if you love his high notes Eric, wait until you get to Take Aim. It's gorgeous.

[@ElementalBean]

Or Drag Me Under

[@UnXplainable1]

Did no one warn you that II goes absolutely BONKERS on the earlier albums? Not that he doesn't on TMBTE, but man, he establishes himself as superhuman throughout the first two albums. Also, I've been listening to them for years and I can't imagine how anyone would think their newer stuff is a massive departure from the rest of the catalog. They've evolved, for sure, but the sound is quintessential Sleep Token. By the way, I live for your facial expressions while you're listening to them and following the lyrics. Oh, and Eric's episodic final thought. I'm taking down Holyfield AND cilantro if Sleep Token gets snubbed by the Grammys.

[@edwardlovatt425]

Better take that down then man

[@UnXplainable1]

@@edwardlovatt425 thanks for holding me accountable.

[@Inesieb]

The first album is AMAIZING

[@shredfreak93]

That end chunky riff gives me real Deftones vibes with them playing that low, melodic, moving vibe

[@DataLupus]

if you guys are doing Blood Sport, I do *highly* recommend checking out the version from the room below! you dont even need to do a reaction for that one but its fantastic and definitely worth checking out (although I wouldnt say no to another Sleep Token reaction from you guys 😂 )

[@dropthehammer1360]

Had this same sentiment initially, but some have mentioned that they should listen to the original album version first, and THEN they need to see from the room below, and I agree.

[@jenniferlchainmailjen152]

Yea double reaction for Blood Sport, since the room below is almost a reimagined version of the album version.

[@brandonpettyjohn3879]

Still patiently waiting for the room below version reaction

[@Aya84524]

This is the first song of theirs that I heard, and is responsible for dragging me down the rabbit hole! It's a great song.

[@rylanscott410]

Just saw them live in Denver. This song hit even harder seeing Vessel jam and being surrounded by fellow worshipers.

[@kaits95_]

I'm so glad you guys finally got to hear this one! I saw Sleep Token last night in Denver and they ended the show with this song and it was NUTS. Everyone went crazy. Excited for y'all to be going through their discography. Enjoy the ride :)

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Yeah II goes off in this! I’m so glad you’re going through all their catalogue and you are genuinely falling in love with them 🖤

[@Sixela999]

I am convinced the bass and drum on this song is designed for bedroom activities.

[@4sak3n3n3my]

I saw these guys in detroit earlier this month and this what they ended the show with. Literally the best concert I’ve ever been to and you guys need to see them whenever you get the chance!!

[@starlight_prince]

I was there too! The acoustics in the masonic temple made it all the better, we were like a grand choir!!

[@arimewillow4278]

I was in Detroit. I would take that 6 hr drive and crazy wait line again in a heartbeat. Best concert I've ever been to. Also I got my friend into them and her face when the whole building full of metal/goth heads all started singing Whitney Houston was priceless. I had to explain the room below 😂

[@NahIamgood]

The Offering was the crucial song that made me a massive fan back in 2021! Fire ass song like Eric said, still in my top 10 all time. Great watching your evolution into becoming fans, especially that after The Summoning reaction, I didn't believe you'll give them another chance

[@7fs8]

This song slaps so hard live it is the perfeect closing song, also vessel sounds even better live when singing this song. The "Take a bite" part really cought me off guard.

[@davidriddick82]

YES!! Finally!! You made it 🤘🏻🤘🏻 The best part about this song, is that TWO is absolutely going off on the drums, just massively huge, he’s a beast on the kit In their live performances of this song that people capture, Vessel goes off dancing like nobody is watching, and now every time I hear this song I dance like him too CANT WAIT FOR MORE!! So glad you guys are still into Sleep Token, there’s tons more good songs coming from Sundowning

[@brandonbeam8013]

Saw them Saturday! Vessel's energy on stage is just so unmatched. They did The Offering last and it was legit epic. Worship!

[@jaycarr5906]

You have to listen to off camera, the drum solo for Alkaline. It's called Alkaline-an offering from II. It really shows how amazing the drummer is.

[@rydenlandlachlan]

I'm so glad you guys are going through their entire discography. I do hope you take the time to go through I and II (especially Calcutta and Nazareth) as well. I think the difference with TMBTE vs the other albums is their brilliant producer. But every song they make is absolute perfection.

[@somebody1102]

Nazereth... Shew. I think it was their defining "this is our music song" even tho its so early in their history. But I think it's when you really get to hear all of Vessel's talents while also being a deep song. "lets see what a ......." gets me every time.

[@rydenlandlachlan]

@@somebody1102 totally agree! It's sooooo good.

[@Deadfool31]

You guys got I'm into sleep token so thank you for that. I listen to sundowning at least twice a day. This blows my mind every time I hear it!❤

[@ndisfoshiz]

I've seen videos of them performing this live and those 4 look like they are having the time of their lives!!!!!!!!!!

[@ryanford5320]

This song is an absolute banger at their live show...seen it in Dallas and the crowd went nuts

[@imquokkacola]

You absolutely NEED to react to "Jaws". One of their older songs, yet still a fan favorite. S-tier song 🔥

[@Sammyii.]

I went from listening to rap, to listening to rock, to listening to punk, to listening to metal, to listening to deathcore, to listening to Sleep Token, in my life. There's some bluegrass and country in there as well. Sleep Token is my everyday music now.

[@Daniyvet1264]

This is one of my favorites ♥️♥️♥️ the drummer kicks ass and Vessel's voice is out of this world. Every time I hear the part in the middle when he says the word favour and his voice falls off the note, I melt.

[@brandondrush]

Kyle's face at 7:02 is me every damn time I hear this song.

[@mclovinlife4018]

Experiencing this song for the first time with you guys. Just now checking out their older music

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

😂😂😂 i love seeing your faces You guys both were so enraptured by the breakdown and the lyrics, not looking at each other but were completely in sync with your head banging 😂😂😂😂 Loved it! And yeah, this song is awesome live with Vessel dancing around on stage and doing some screams in there. You should KZbin the Offering live since you've heard it now😊 Levitate is next....love love love ❤❤❤that song.....and can't wait for you to get to Higher too. Aww hell, yeah just the whole album lol 😂😂 You made my day guys!! 🤘😎🤘❤ Worship ❤

[@yilomina2047]

Two really gets to shine more in the first two albums, in my opinion, and this was a great example of that! Really looking forward to going on this journey with y'all!

[@kasper_88]

This is the first song that I heard from them, and I listened to it when it first dropped. I was hooked instantly, and I've been a massive fan ever since 🖤 Even though I adore every one of their songs, this one is my favorite. 🙏 Worship 🙏

[@laecifer4736]

The drummer did an "offering" of this song on their youtube channel where he does a playthrough and you can watch him play. He's so talented. Also can confirm this song goes fucking CRAZY hard live. Crowd goes crazy, vessel goes absolutely feral and its amazing.

[@Capthowdy098]

I used to put together playlists to use at a jet engine maintenance shop that I worked at for about 5 yrs. This whole album was in the rotation, and it rapidly became a favorite among my crew and others that could hear it across the floor. Jaws was the song that hooked me and Bloodsport (From the Room Below) kept me.

[@TB-sp9jy]

I was fortunate to have worshipped recently, and The Offering is such a stellar song to feel pounding at your bones.

[@WishMount]

Ah yes. the song that started it all for me. My first introduction to Sleep Token, and somehow I feel something different every time I hear it. This was before the lore, the story and the message behind this band was known- this was something foreign... and to see where they went after this, it's actually not that far from where they started. Loved this reaction.

[@norahdenovan8658]

You need to watch them doing this live, it’s brilliant Worship❤

[@dorkamiks]

Finally! At their Budapest show The Offering was the last song on the setlist, we lost our minds for sure. Much love from Hungary 🖤

[@waydagotc]

This song hit me real hard a few months ago and I cannot stop listing to it. The lines, “Give up the game and let me in, My arms belong around you” are a proverbial knife twisting in my gut.

[@TheScarecrow863]

Saw that one live. Emagine a massive wall of death at the end of the song, loosing shit. Was so damn awsome to be in it!

In case you didn't know yet, this band is Will Ramos's favorite band right now and he got Charismatic Voice hooked on them too. He often tweets about their lyrics and talks about what song he's had on repeat by them lately.

Firstly Hi 👋 I'm new brought to you by Sleeptoken... I have binged watched you guys for the past 2 days and nights I've loved hearing your conclusions to the story I'm with u 💯 I feel Vessel's lyrics deep in my chest, I also have raw emotions to alot of their songs from Sundowning, This place will become you're tomb and Take me back to Eden. I have to agree that their older stuff is still current in their recent album. Drumming got more intense on the newer album they all have such Immense talent. I'm disabled haven't been to a gig since Opeth and Evil Scarecrow so going to see Sleeptoken in November and with bkstage access I'm so emotional. You guys have made me laugh and cry you are epic I'm a metalhead with versatility I love NF, also Wardruna and Heilung and dance. I've recently lost 2 childhood friends and a close friend recently and If it wasn't for ST and Vessel I don't know where I'd be. Love your vibe 🖤♥️🤘🤘

[@mplevey]

Thanks, now I have to go and listen to the whole album for the millionth time 😂 The Offering remains one of their best songs, and definitely their best live song. They've added a few subtleties to the live version over the years which makes it even more incredible
