Sleep Token - The Summoning "Official Audio" 2LM Reacts

[@TooLITMafia]

Sorry for the fans in the background a/c in the room was down unfortunately, hope you enjoyed the reaction non the less. STAY LIT!!

[@Phillyboi2581]

The difference between a key change and an octave change is how much of a change in notes it is. An octave change takes the same note and transposes it up to the next octave which is 8 notes higher or lower. A key change only changes the notes by 1 or 2 notes and normally the whole band will follow with the change. An octave change will normally have the vocals change notes while the band keeps the same. Hope that helps, much love ❤️

[@williamsummerson1204]

It's always lit.

[@Tigerjunky93]

@@Phillyboi2581it’s neither. He’s switching from his ‘chest’ voice to his ‘head’ voice. At one point he jumps more than an octave. That’s just 8 whole steps up. Just tryna educate! Music theory is fun!

[@OneTapKap]

just a fyi.... its only 2 people who make the music the singer(does guitar/bass/piano, live they hire touring members) "vessel1" and drummer/programmer/percussions aka "Drummer guy" how he could make a metal head love blues and RnB man.... the ending of this song is so perfect i swear

Sleep Token's vocalist is 100% correct. "We wear masks because it doesn't matter who we are or what we look like. Just focus on our art in the music."

[@crystalarchitectslad4897]

I think i've already heard this statement somewhere with the same thought... prolly slipknot

[@CrzyWzrd4L]

@@crystalarchitectslad4897 Except that nearly everyone in Slipknot is famous and recognizable outside of the masks. Sleep Token will take the masks off and chat with a couple fans after shows, but because they’re just random dudes with minimal social media presence- nobody recognizes them and it’s VERY hard to look them up.

Dude that little “huh?” At the beginning of the final jazzy breakdown is exactly how every single one of us felt listening to this masterpiece for a first time.

Twelve Foot Ninja has been doing genre mixing with metal for years if you’re curious. Their tone is a lot more comedic though but they still have a lot of bangers. I’d recommend starting with their song Vanguard or Mother Sky

[@martyfrancis1011]

More exposure?!!! How much exposure do they need?!!! They were scheduled for a show at the Fillmore in Silver Spring MD but for some reason it was cancelled the day of the show. The very next day them and two other bands played an unexpected show at Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore. The show was packed and it was a Wednseday. They have all the exposure they need.

[@darcystcorner2580]

[@williamsummerson1204]

Too lit mafia delivering the undeniable flame. You are not the only one that was surprised by this masterpiece of a song. Sleep Token is a special band. Vessel's voice is unreal and soul piercing.

[@swirle13]

A little more music theory: key change vs out of key chords (non-diatonic). Key change is when the whole key is shifted and stays that way for an amount of time. When notes/chords are out of key, that isn't necessarily a key change, but are non-diatonic chords/notes being used to add color and tension to a movement. Sleep Token does both :) btw, the root of a key, like A in A Major, is called the "tonic", so "diatonic" notes are all notes in that key, "dia-" meaning "through," "throughout," or "completely". So all diatonic notes are notes throughout the key of the tonic note. The more you know! 🌟🌈
