This song is so freaking sick! I have no words! Probably my new favorite ST song. Love your videos Drew!

Bro the CONFIDENCE these guys just put into this song. Next album will be an absolut banger

[@katetgw]

Your reactions to these two Sleep Token songs are among my favorite reactions I've ever seen from anyone for any song. Minimal talking during the song, not pausing the song every 20 seconds. Your facial expressions say everything. This is the kind of reaction I love watching. Maybe I'm missing something or my brain just works different, but I just don't understand how a lot of other reactors can truly experience/react to a song when they're constantly interrupting it. Anyways, loved these reactions!

[@DrewFortune97]

Thanks Kate, glad you enjoyed ❤️

[@judgepage6605]

Maybe it's the "new" but this might just be my favorite song they've ever released.

[@colbyboucher6391]

Nah they're genuinely just getting better. Plus rumor has it they got a new producer, it shows.

[@titans77]

yeah, this isn't just it being "new" this is genuinely song of the year material. A generational banger...

[@Lazarus37F]

Yeah man. Couldn’t believe how good this one was. Something tells me this album will send them to the next level.

[@TheDjfranco100]

It will be an ALBUM. Luckily, you can find the album tittle, tracklist and the next singles they will release. This song sets the bar really high

They gotta be doing what they did with "Sundowning", releasing 10 singles and then the final song with the album release. It's honestly a brilliant marketing strategy

[@CruciaLou]

[@DioThermidor]

[@sandcake]

New album 'Take me to Eden' is recorded and will drop sooner than later. It's going to be HUGE.

[@ryancozzolino7832]

That’s record time! It’s hardly even been a few hours and this reaction is out. I don’t know if I said it on the “Chokehold” reaction, but “Chokehold” gives me similar vibes to Deftones’ “You’ve Seen the Butcher.” This track was my personal preference though.

[@mossdefect2547]

That’s a comparison I never thought of but totally agree with

[@zeelix5]

The sundowning got more experimental and I love it

[@SimonaDrvek]

My theory is that they are going to release one single each day from now, so that the set is ready for their first live shows this year! 😍🔥 And I'm HERE FOR ALL OF IT!

[@aaronstickle]

Their first show was last night with Architects and Northlane. They opened with Chokehold

[@lucasmedina5149]

I got other theory, that they will release 3 singles per week, so it's the whole album by the end of January! If i'm not wrong there are 12 songs, so let's see!

[@samconran]

I'm seeing them in a few weeks! Hyped beyond belief with these releases

[@Smithysmithin]

Dude. I was about to go to sleep too when I saw this. They summoned us.

[@ashtonhamilton5719]

One of the few songs to have me mouth open sat in silence on first listens. Perfect heavy record. A blue print for future artists

[@SleepTokenLuke]

Ironically they have us all loosing sleep! The track is absolutely beast mode. I did a pole in the community between Chokehold and The Summoning, and the latter won by a landslide. It's deffo my favorite between the two as well.

[@gunbooster666]

This is why I love them, even if you listen to them non stop they still surprise you with twists

[@KiwiLaaaaa]

Cannot wait to see them in Manchester in a few weeks 🤘🖤 They released a song every day last time! Summoning is an absolute banger 🤘🤘

[@m.8.d.713]

That has to mean a new album is on the way, hopefully soon though. This was so different yet very Sleep Token at the same time. That ending section was so Polyphia-like. Amazing song, definitely one of their best

WE'RE ALL FREAKING OUT TOGETHER AAAHHH

[@TheCrathes]

I had never heard of Sleep Token before i heard this. I found it literally a couple of minutes after it was released, with something like 26 views here on youtube. The counter doesn't update very often, so it probably had thousands of views already. BUT it felt very special.

[@Smithysmithin]

Was not expecting a song, let alone what we got. But like, instantly It clicked with me. Idk, this may have become a top song for me. High Water is probably still the number 1, but this song is now number 2. Everything about it is so fresh and unique. And that's what I've come to love about Sleep Token.

[@marshallmatherne7052]

Took me nearly a dozen listen to figure it out, but the solo gives me “The Sky is Red” vibes from Leprous. What a crazy departure and step forward for Sleep Token’s sound. And that synth interlude? Absolutely transcendent.

[@colbyboucher6391]

Seriously, I've loved this sort of sound for years. Leprous (especially their earlier stuff), VOLA, Agent Fresco, some of Devin Townsend's stuff... It's like prog metal has been having this funky transition for almost a decade and now it's leaking into other bands. It's exciting.

[@CruciaLou]

‘Holy shit, what just happened’ right before the HOLY SHIT moment lmao

[@jctheii]

Somebody released a tracklist of the upcoming album, but was later deleted, but an album is for sure coming but no telling when that will be. But these two singles were projected to drop due to SpineFarm’s post showing the two images of Chokehold and The Summoning. Anyways, these two drops have been absolutely phenomenal

[@someguy7448]

WATCH OUT. SUNDAY.

[@tansell2691]

@@someguy7448 who says that??

[@vsevolotti]

TPWBYT was actually released in 2021, Sundowning in 2019, so it was logical to expect something in 2023

[@daniellozada2290]

So the last two minutes of this song, really was a welcome surprise. Rarely listen to Sleep Token, but that was amazing. Going to listen to their discography now

[@EclecticInstinct]

Great reaction. Loved the look of total confusion mingling with appreciation. Legend.

lets freaking GO!!!!!!!!!!! man I am so excited. this man could do things and get away with any of it with that voice. loving the bangers your bringing out my dude. keep kickin ass

[@Gravityys]

I'm not sure but I think Sundowning also had a very unusual way of releasing singles where they would put a new song out each week. Seems like we're on the verge of a new record and I especially appreciate how different sounding these new songs have been.

[@angelaa1611]

That expression that says "Wow...I didn't see that coming!"

The new album is titled 'Take Me Back To Eden'. Chokehold and The Summoning are the first two (of 12) tracks on the album.

I seriously can't get enough I get shivers every time I've listened to this ........they HAVE TO come back to Dublin ........Steph 🇮🇪

[@savvyjd]

First take made me wonder if some of this came to them while touring with Nothing More last year. I'm digging the structure, vocal choices, and funk influence. Not an immediate favorite for me personally, but still really solid and fun. I'm into this Sleep Token remix of Sleep Token. I have had Chokehold on repeat since it came out yesterday; here for all of it.

[@frostfang1]

Yea the abrupt switch ups kinda reminded me of some of what Nothing More has done. Definitely made it their own, but conceptually very similar. I really like it. Some of it I almost wish was separate songs so those beautiful moments could be even more extended. But I also love the abrupt shifts and contrasts.

[@ArronPeacock]

It's a new album called 'Take Me Back To Eden' - 63 minutes long!

The way it was composed and put together. I was pleasantly surprised. They way they keep us waiting. They way they flex all musical (not just vocals) prowess….damn.

Thought chokehold where their best song damn little did I know!

[@kylereece1979]

Can't bate the aul' live reactions as they happen! Ill agree with the comments about the sublime vocals smoothing into the monlithic slabs and stabs of guitar. But- I really like the liquid, mercury like guitar solo. It reminds me personally of OG virtuosos like Steve Vai. His "Passion and Warfare" album from 1990 is a grrrrreat instrumental album mo chara that is the peak of shred guitar from that era.

[@8JFJK8]

Releasing a surprise album would be such a Sleep Token thing to do, praying we get a lengthy EP or a new album.
