"Walls of flesh, so warm again. We step into my suffering. My only need, welcome me in. Welcome me in." 🖤🥺

[@DJ_Digi]

From the calm and jazzy Acqua Regia to the the brutality of this shoegaze/blackgaze hybrid…like they were takin back that sense of security. This track hits you hard like the punch of the drummer’s double kick pedals! Love Vessel harsh vocals (without distortion they are even better when they play the song live, insane!) and the huge Deftones vibes.

[@oldstonerun]

Nice comment man. Oh this one definitely hits hard!

[@azraelcales]

The other instrument is a Koto which is Japanese.

[@oldstonerun]

That’s it!!!! I knew it was a guitar! Thanks!

[@kookiepooh]

This song tickles my ADHD brain in the best way. I love that you’re pointing out everything that I hear❤

[@ImperfectCitizen]

John Wick listens to this when takes out the trash

[@RealTroyE23]

Hes just like me fr

[@HolyBurntTrephines]

He can do it live, I heard it with my own two ears :) Love your Sleep Token content! Worship

[@oldstonerun]

That’s awesome!! Thanks so much as well!

[@run4walk]

He doesn't really. IV does the heavy lifting on the live screams.

[@brandonb.5304]

@@run4walk The high fry screams are Vessel. IV does the low growls. The two together sound huge live.

[@run4walk]

@@brandonb.5304 Haven't seen them live yet (going in November) but at least in the audio recordings of their live performances it's really hard to even hear Vessel over IV.

[@beccareichard6669]

it’s him doing the vocals and he’s amazing doing it live. IV chips in a bit live to give it layers. you’ll definitely have to check out some live videos in your free time! also that instrument you’re hearing isn’t guitar or keyboard. it’s a traditional chinese string instrument that I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called. and yeah those high notes in the background are also him. his range is ridiculous.

[@oldstonerun]

That’s awesome! Thanks for info! Ahhh it’s a freaking koto or something like that. I knew it was a guitar lol. His high notes are ridiculous

[@beccareichard6669]

@@oldstonerun yes!!! that’s what it is! there’s a lot of chinese string instruments and I can never remember the names of them lol

[@oldstonerun]

@@beccareichard6669 hahaha there are a lot! It’s really hard to call them out during a reacts video for the first time lol

[@Eyeyamgod]

It's called a Koto and it's Japanese. But also this is done on a keyboard. Midi patch of a koto with reverb. Not an acctual koto.

[@theh3rbanlegend416]

Vessel can do the screaming live there are some videos of it, he does have some help from IV (guitar player) live but you can hear vessel scream live for sure brother. Great video!

[@oldstonerun]

Hell yea! I’ll have to check them out! Thanks man!

[@brianalmeida1964]

I now automatically click the like button before I've even watched the reaction. There's no question that I'm going to enjoy it! Vore is an erotic desire or sexual fantasy to be consumed or to consume another. So the fade out is appropriate here as though Vessel is being swallowed whole. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks so much for the confidence booster and kind words man! Much appreciated! Also thanks for info on the song, that’s awesome!

[@Nerve__]

It definitely sounds like a Japanese instrument in it, especially the "shamisen". The notes from it is especially distinct imo. I love vore

[@haloedge2829]

What sets him apart, as a male artist, is how he singing in cursive. We mainly see female artists do that: Billie Eilish, Halsey, Amy Winehouse, etc. I love the fluid highs and dips and turns so much.

[@HGcardinal55]

WORSHIP🙌🏻

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Such a banger of a tune. I wasn’t a fan the first time I heard it but I love it. This and Gods are their heaviest ones I would say, obviously some of the others have heavy parts but these are heaviest. Vessel does all the vocals but live IV helps with the screams. 🖤

[@oldstonerun]

Tobii!! What’s up!? As always, thanks for the awesome info!

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

@@oldstonerun heyy! How you doing? You know I’m all over ST reactions 🤣 can’t get them past me lol. 🖤

[@josefgordon7712]

I definitely want to see a II offering video for this song like they did for Hypnotize. Just him with his kit and the vocals stripped out.

[@sgtkruger]

Same

[@JewelsLeigh]

Surprise!!! He does perform this live with IV singing also sometimes on the harsh lyrics, I've watched all the live videos posted.

[@oldstonerun]

That’s so crazy

[@carolperry103]

This is my FAVORITE song, tingles every time 😊

[@oldstonerun]

It’s really good!

[@banshee8328]

That 80s synth…. Chef’s kiss ***

[@oldstonerun]

Right!!

[@LS-yh5el]

Makes me laugh every time you try to put Sleep Token in a traditional box. Chorus? What's a chorus? Do you need a chorus? No, lol Great reactions! Keep up the good work.

[@oldstonerun]

Lol! Thanks for the kind words! They really do stress me out haha

[@edelwiess2306]

If you’re listening to it again, catch the chewing noises at the beginning 😂. Was waiting for this one and it didn’t disappoint! Great reaction!

[@oldstonerun]

@@oldstonerun yes, they’re definitely there. Once you hear them though, you can’t unhear! 😋

[@danandersson7768]

@@oldstonerun Hints at the title Vore. The meaning is definitely wild.

[@HowieStephens]

Love your in depth and well-informed insights, especially on the production/musical side. I will say I think the thematic reason for the vocals being way back in the mix in some parts relates to the lyrics and title of the song. To simplify it a lot, "vore" is related to the idea of being swallowed whole or eaten, and there's several lines in the lyrics like that. So let's get swallooooowed whoooooole And yeah listening to this on some nice monitors with a sub is another experience 🤘🤘 A mix/DAW project break-down like Tim Henson does with some Polyphia songs would be sick

[@oldstonerun]

Ahh man I love this comment. I’ve never watched his DAW reactions, hell I didn’t know that was a thing! Now I need to look into that! I could totally get into that!

[@enterjudas8543]

Would love for you to do reactions to live performances of them as well 🤘🏻

[@oldstonerun]

Deal!

[@crab9852]

This song came out on my birthday, it was definitely quite the surprise present. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@animyrch]

Old Stone reviewing Sleep Token. I literally drop everything and focus all my attention here 😅

[@oldstonerun]

I greatly appreciate that man. Thank you

[@Eyeyamgod]

The drummer in this band is insane. Just saw them live and it was utterly goose bump incredible. It's a whole journey and no song sounds the same so you don't know what to expect next. They got a female choir as backup vocals.

[@robotwaifuengineer]

WORSHIP.

[@UnXplainable1]

Hahahahaha! Oh, this one is gonna be reeeeal good!

[@oldstonerun]

Lol! What a wild song!

[@UnXplainable1]

@@oldstonerun haha such a great reaction to it, too! It’s definitely Vessel doing the screaming, and this song was purposely mixed in the style of Black Metal, a hallmark of which is vocals tucked back in the mix. Different genres, but the concept is kind of like how Tool views Maynard’s voice as another instrument as opposed to the focus of the music. If any of that is info you’re already well aware of, just ignore me. I get too excited talking about music, especially theirs. 😁

[@oldstonerun]

@@UnXplainable1 ahhh I never even thought of black metal mixing like that!!! Totally agree with Maynard and how they mix their sounds as well!

[@brees354]

Worship ❤

[@locustkllr]

i've only got one question for you: ARE YOU IN PAIN LIKE I AM!!!!!!!!!??????????????

[@gitsiemonster]

I don't think so 😂

[@andrewyork7776]

I have a feeling they could have continued with this one another 8.5 minutes. They enjoy taking us on the journey as much as we enjoy going on it.

[@DanielaLacerda]

OMG i love this one so much, one of my fav, thank you for react ♥

[@oldstonerun]

Of course!! This one is awesome!!

[@winterstar9682]

Listening to this album on anything other than a physical copy does this album a disservice. I highly recommend purchasing it, it's almost like listening to it for the first time again.

[@gitsiemonster]

If I could get/afford resale vinyl I would lol

[@winterstar9682]

@gitsiemonster I got it on CD lol. But yeah, if I could afford vinyl, my God. That would be even better.

[@danandersson7768]

There has been a lot of speculation about the picking instrument that sounds like mix between guitar and synth. Some say it’s a japanese style string instrument, the name of which I unfortunately can’t remember.

[@pedefeijoau]
