Sleep Token are from London and were formed in 2016, all of the members wear masks. They have their own lore and are said to be the mortal representatives of the ancient deity known only as Sleep who appeared to the singer Vessel in a dream, he has said in his one and only interview that “we are here to serve Sleep and project his message.” They have released two Eps(One and Two) and two albums, Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb which along with the forthcoming album Take Me Back To Eden(out May 19th) will form a trilogy. Sleep Token are an amazing band who are quite unique, Vessel has an amazing range and such an emotional soulful voice and Vessel II(all the members are known as Vessel) is one of the best drummers I have ever heard. When recording the albums Vessel sings, plays the guitars and keyboards while II provides his magic on the drums but when they go out on tour they become a band and are joined by Vessel III(or bassy)on bass and Vessel IV on guitars. I only discovered them in July last year when I heard Alkaline but straight away I was hooked in and lost down the rabbit hole, they have become my favourite band and I feel such an emotional connection to their music. It’s great to see them really taking off now as they deserve all the attention that they are now getting. There are many great songs for you to react to, my own personal favourite is Jaws but you should also check out Hypnosis, Sugar, Atlantic, This Night Does Not Belong To God, High Water and the other songs released this year Chokehold, Granite,Aqua Regia and Vore. Basically listen to any song that is suggested and soon you may also be lost down the Sleep Token rabbit hole. Worship
Vessel’s true identity should never be known. I believe the mask is allowing vessel to sing about anything he wants without fear. To know his true name would be the end of the emotional connection we have with this music.
We know by lyrics and by pre show messages that he is in a lot of pain from his past. The mask is a healthy option to allow him to move on, considering in “this place will be your tomb” I think he tried to end him self. The mask also makes it harder for people to dig up his old past so he doesn’t have to live through it all over again.
Obviously it's a developing situation with a relatively new band, but I wonder if he ever plans to pass the mask on and let someone else be vessel. I feel like vessel is a separate entity from whoever "plays" him, like an actor and their character aren't the same person. Would it matter if vessel's voice changed? Surely it would be a great voice to lose but would it defeat the purpose?
Seeing the comments section below makes me so happy. It just goes to show how important this music is to people, and how true to the art the band is. Cuz it's an experience. I hope i never find out the real identities bc it would ruin the lore and the connection i feel personally when i listen to ST. And if you listen through each album, there is a backstory that they each revolve around and are interconnected. Enjoy and Worship!
Their drummer is beyond fantastic, and I think that's where some of the Tool vibes come from. ii (drummer) has massive chops and is about as close to Danny Carey as I've found in music so far.
No real fan will tell you their names, even if they know. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to them! They're an extremely eclectic band who never sticks to just one style and absolutely blows everyone else out of the water no matter what genre they try out.
This is what I love. Many know like me but I've never seen anyone ruin it. I guess if someone likes them enough to find it out of curiosity, they like the band enough to not ruin it for others.
@@codypieper728 Unfortunately, it was revealed to me when I didn't want to know. The upside is that I can vote down anyone who tries to reveal their names haha.
Honestly. Curiosity got the better of me, but we never reveal to others. They've gone through pretty extensive lengths to have a bunch of their info scrubbed from the internet. I'm also glad that knowing hasn't changed a thing when it comes to loving them and their music.
I found out Vessel’s identity on accident and it crushed me! Wish I didn’t know. It doesn’t change a whole lot for me, I still am absolutely obsessed with this band and their lore but I don’t recommend knowing.
The more you dig into Sleep Token the more you find that they don't have a sound they have all the sounds They literally slap you in the face by meshing together so many different styles and genres I absolutely love this band I would enjoy more reactions to their stuff from you and seeing you delve deeper Some recommendations Heavier stuff -Vore , God's Mellow or Jazzy Stuff -Hypnosis , Sugar, Dark Signs , Bloodsport
The great thing about them is every song sounds different. You actually listened 3 of their heavier songs. The have a lot more melodic dark songs with no heavy guitars in it. It’s awesome!
Love the reaction man, sleep token is amazing, they are something different than anything or have ever heard. His name is vessel From England They all hide their identity
I just got into these guys a few weeks ago! Their singer plays piano as well, aqua regias a straight piano pop song where he really shines, hypnosis is a great song I keep coming back to and gods is on the super heavy side if you want that! good reaction!
the noise you pointed out in The Summoning as "a harmonic but not" is a pitch shifter i believe. i think they shifted the pitch up a few steps and then played two dissonant notes on the two highest strings at least thats my guess.
Definitely not new. Just finally blowing up. They're a masked band from England. If you really want to know their names it is possible to find. But honestly I think its more interesting not know. They also kind of have a cult woshiping the god of sleep. Worship lol

I appreciate the info! 🔥
Should copy/paste this comment to every Sleep Token reaction vid TBH lol

Yeah, he said that the mask helps him show a level of intimacy in his writing, that he would not be able to release without it
It sucks knowing who it is, but discovered other good music from his previous project.
@@noneya3292yeah curiosity got the better of me lol but I liked his old project too at least

I gotcha 👌
ST are phenomenal WORSHIP ❤

They literally slap you in the face by meshing together so many different styles and genres
I absolutely love this band
I would enjoy more reactions to their stuff from you and seeing you delve deeper
Some recommendations
Heavier stuff -Vore , God's
Mellow or Jazzy Stuff -Hypnosis , Sugar, Dark Signs , Bloodsport
Thank you!🔥
You saying you want to get an understanding of their sound.
Sleep Token fans seeing you've included The Summoning: 😝
The great thing about them is every song sounds different. You actually listened 3 of their heavier songs. The have a lot more melodic dark songs with no heavy guitars in it. It’s awesome!
iiinteresting, would it be right for me to compare this band to Ghost?
@@ResurrectedReacts they don’t sound like Ghost at all. The only similarities would be the anonymity.
true true
You don't need Vessels name. Read their lore. Let them be anonymous, they are too good to destroy their plan. Worship.
Please do some more Sleep Token.
Worship
Glad to see a homie react to my boys Sleep Token, they’re taking over 2023! 🔥

loved that a ton. unmatchable sonic material. how come I’m finding them out for the first time? 😵
the noise you pointed out in The Summoning as "a harmonic but not" is a pitch shifter i believe. i think they shifted the pitch up a few steps and then played two dissonant notes on the two highest strings at least thats my guess.
Their new album came out!!!! Man you have to react to ascensionism and take me back to eden!!
Definitely not new. Just finally blowing up. They're a masked band from England. If you really want to know their names it is possible to find. But honestly I think its more interesting not know. They also kind of have a cult woshiping the god of sleep. Worship lol
I gotcha 👌
Do some reading up on this band. Fascinating and the best band that have heard in a long time
Sensacional ❤

I have not yet, just these 3 so far
you should listen to it it's pretty good and looks like Vore is the heaviest song to date.
All the songs are a homage to their diety.
