#sleeptoken #thesummoning
The unusual changes and odd structure of this song keep it fresh for me. I love when musicians break the rules.
you should check out maximum the hormone 👀
@@MurderWeaponLimited Too much breaking rules
@MurderWeaponLimited that's a lot of breaking the rules💀
@@MurderWeaponLimited Thank you very much for pointing me towards them lol. I'm in love!
but it doesn't have unusual changes or an odd structure, you just dont know when to count to 4 lol
I think Sleep Token are the freshest metal act to come out in years! The genre was definitely in need of some revamping.
Hard disagree. They sound super contrived and cliche to me. Its that shaky, cliche voice that pops up on every electronic pop song now. Some cliche, uninspired de-tuned guitars pop up with a piano then drop out and back to the cliche pop voice. I really dont see anything special or unique going on here at all.
IMO this is regressing metal. Metal is one of the most creative, exploratory genres out there. Having a big band who minimizes themselves to big poppy hooks and cliche riffs isnt the "revamping we need in the genre" IMO.
@@carryingfire286 Agree. They sound good though
@@CLord I’m not hating and I def don’t think they’re a bad band. This to me just feels like some dudes sat in a room and combined all the most trendy sounds they could think of.
Pallbearer is the best modern metal band i have heard
@@AspiringSpaceWizard The Ocean is who I’ve been getting into this past year. Progressive metal / metalcore out of Germany.
You guys should 100% do chokehold by them. This was a bit more transition heavy but chokehold is amazing too and the vocals shine thru even more on that
100%. Chokehold is far more digestible and just so great all around
I’d even say Granite & Aqua Regia have better vocals than Chokehold and show more of their diversity.
@@jamesschultz8260 Granite miiight throw them off there at the end but I think they’d still get enough out of it for a continuous delve into them. HIGHLY agree with Chokehold and Aqua Regia though! They’d lose their minds over those two
@@twall91 I don’t think it would throw them off. It keeps the same vibe and rhythm but just in a heavy way at the end with that beautiful chorus over it. I think it’s probably the easiest digestible song out of the 4 songs along with Aqua Regia. Chokehold is great too but it’s still a little dark like The Summoning.
The Summoning is definitely my favorite of all the new ones so far. Heavy is catnip for me.
Definitely a band worth coming back to. This song doesn't showcase it so much but the drumming on tracks like The Offering or Alkaline is really amazing. This song is more chaotic than a lot of their work, it's by far their most experimental. Their style bounces around a lot but not usually this much in one song - also the funkdown at the end wasn't an outlier, they use R&B elements a lot. Amazing band once they really bury their teeth in you
The offering is a great song.
"Just take a bite of me," Am I right?
@@suckapunch565 That, and the mouth of infinity burying its teeth in me while I smile through the agony
Lol what you mean this song doesn't showcase the drumming?!
@@Daniel-xu6kd😂 Every song showcases the drumming if you're paying attention. Thing is like these guys here and the general listening population the vocals tend to be a stand out... which is not suprising with what we're given here.
I am so glad Sleep Token are finally getting the recognition they deserve. I would definitely dive more into them. They are such a unique band and you can't really get a good understanding of them off one song. This is a fantastic song but it might not be the easiest to digest for your first sleep token song
Truth. There is so much depth to them.
Indeed.. they deserve more recognition
So much truth in your words
what is so unique about them? they sound like many modern metal(core) bands
@@JacobsKrąnųg You clearly haven’t heard much of their music, because if you did, you’d know they’re as stylistically diverse and musically skilled as any band out there.
If we ever need to create a baby boom, just put Deftones and Sleep Token on tour together 🥒 😀
Ain't that the truth! In fact, let's see a Chino/Sleep Token crossover! I think the fans heads would explode.
@@maynarddrivesfast804please let this be a thing
Considering how much ST is influenced musically by Deftones, I’d say this would be a great idea.
holy shit i didnt even think about that, imagine if they could do a feature on each of their songs woooooooowie
Is it wrong that I want to hear a Sleep Token x FKA Twigs duet? 😅
My adhd loves the craziness of their songs lol
Hypnosis really shows Vessel's vocal range, same with Sugar. Sleep Token is so unique.
It's not an odd time signature. The whole song is in 4/4. They right pop music for prog metal enjoyers. Love this band so much.
Sure, but the emphasis in the opening verse isn't just on the 2 and the 4 like normal, so it's less obviously head bobby
@@BrofUJu yeah, the first verse is 4 groups of 3/4 followed by one of 4/4. Add it up and its 16 which means it could be argued it’s in 4. But really it feels and is played far more in a 3 feel (with one bar of 4 thrown in).
Cool song btw. Never heard of them before 👍
You can play this to a click set to accent 4/4. But written out it switches between 3 and 4.
*write
@@Jimbo292 k
Definitely not the first song of theirs you should listen to. There’s sooo much more to this band. They released 4 new songs and none of them sound the same.
None of their songs sound the same dude.
@@Audard I was literally about to type that 😂
@@Audard of course. I just don’t want the guys thinking this is what they only sound like and to try the other new singles. Aqua Regia will blow their minds since it’s the complete opposite type of song with all it’s beautiful Jazziness.
This song doesn’t even sound the same as itself, and the transitions are clunky and abrupt. Doesn’t sound very good.
@@ryanwinters3234 that’s Prog for you. I think it sounds great and with Sleep Token you never know what you’re gonna get. But its a tough listen for any 1st timer who isn’t into all the changes any proginess.
Sleep Token and bands like them are getting the most glorious rise out of metal elitists ever and I am completely here for it. Worship.
Elitism in Metal is hilarious to me because rebellion against rules and conventions IS THE POINT of Metal.
@@MrJordwalkno punk is based around rebellion metal isn't such a narrow-minded concept metal is passion which is why everything Is always debated in the metal community.
@@jackh7977
No rock in general is. It was rebellion against censorship, conformity, being anti war (before that was a common general consensus), anti establishment and so on and so forth. At its center it was always meant to provoke in some manner or fashion. Whether it be thought or sparking outrage due to its intense sound being misunderstood. Rock has always been pushing the envelope.
Why? Sleep token isn’t even metal
Metal elitists hear sleep token bad omens and freak out 😂😂😂
Sleep Token are very Very special, they are stunning live, a real emotional journey. Thank you. I love you guys.
I’ve only just found about them in the last week and just found out they’re doing a show here in Melbourne next week. Your comment has made up my mind about going
I think you'll like most of their other stuff more. This is their heaviest song. Most are softer with prog rock, pop, electronic, R&B, even trap elements with some heavy parts sprinkled in sparingly. Hope you do more from them.
This is not there heaviest song gods and a few others are heavier
I hope they will give them a chance with an open mind I feel like I'd they like Deftones they should be able to get into it especially the ones that have they RnB sound like sugar and Nazareth possibly j aws.
This is their heaviest song? Damn…that’s disappointing.
@@KKzErstorung no this isn't the heaviest
@@KKzErstorung nah bro, they got a few heavier tracks. One in particular is rather heavy throughout.
Heard this song a couple days ago and I fell in love with the band. Excited to dive into the discography.
It gets mentioned often, but it can't be overstated how much of a monster their drummer is
Agreed. I can't stand the fact that all these reaction youtubers fail to recognize how amazing he is.
If you watch these guys often, you probably knew how they would feel about this song. Granite and Aqua Regia would be perfect for them and probably even Chokehold just because those songs don't blend genres which is something I personally love because of the way they do it.
Yeah I agree they would love granite more.
I think for songs like this they should do a revisit review of them. Genre blending is a bit much on first listen for many people so it's understandable that it throws both Ryan and George off since they're not used to it.
I’m just here for their reaction to the last bit. 😂
I loved the changes and transitions. It’s what made it a recognizable sound. They had a little bit of everything. Very good
This new Hozier song slaps.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that hears it.
Yeah ❤ hozier is great I think they might consider a collaboration with him at some point
Watched 5 times already lmao. Man , been following you guys for so damn long, and while knowing y’all i found Sleep Token about 4 years ago, and since have been WAITING for y’all to get to them. My favorite crossover yet
Sounds like everyone is pitching collaborate ideas in this song and they made it all work. And how unique did it come out? Absolutely sick! These guys are definitely in tuned as a group. And the sick drummer makes it blend so good too
It's just Vessel (the singer) writing and performing everything -- other than the drums!
The Birthday Massacre is a band that died with the phase it was apart of, but they are so much more. Under-Appreciated. Try the songs Always, Kill The Lights, Goodnight, Lovers End. Such a unique sound. Still fresh today. Also female vocals, which is not that common in rock/metal. Really fits their sound.
Oh man, haha my hometown! My mom worked with one of the members sisters for years
Such a great band.
Boys you have to hear The Offering or Jaws. This band is next level and vessel is one of the best vocalists I have ever been lucky enough to hear. Also the drummer is super underrated.
Aqua Regia and Granite are the two singles released after this one. They are much more up your alley, and they are definitely amplifying the sexy trend lol
The thing about this song is that it is in every way a slight departure from sleep tokens “usual” sound. They’ve never been this heavy and the ending is something no one saw coming.
This channel can help a lot to Sleep Token gain more recognition!
I'm not saying they need, but it's a nice plus to their exposition! :)
Might wanna edit the statement here bud. Remove the “than”. Because that turns it into a negative statement. It doesn’t look like that’s how you meant it. Because we all know Sleep Token deserves all the recognition in the world! So my guess would be a typo lol
@@twall91 Thanks :)
Vessel (the lead vocalist) is an amazing talent and if you like this you will dig his vocals throughout. I'd suggest the piano version of Bloodsport for really hearing him pour out the emotions.
Gives me goosebumps thinking about it. Such a beautiful stripped down verstion of the song.
So true. The stripped back version is pure emotional realise
Oh man the piano version of Hey Ya! Brought me to tears. Love it so much
Ryan started commenting on the transitions early in the video, and i was like "damn, they havent even gotten to the funk section yet" 😂
Thank you for reacting to Sleep Token. I’ve been a fan of this band since 2016 and they were practically unknown, and they’ve been putting out bangers since the One EP. Seeing them absolutely blow up now makes me proud
Really cool band, super talented, pretty eclectic. But the second half of that song was straight funk, sexy AF. Nice work lads 🤘
I had to go back and listen to this song a second time before I could make sense of its unorthodox structure. They are very talented and creative musicians. The lyrics are also really good. Thanks G&R for introducing me to something new.
Welcome 🙏 let me know what you think of their other work
So far, I like what I’ve heard. The other songs I’ve sampled have more of a conventional flow to them than “The Summoning”. The vocals, lyrics and instrumentation are excellent. I like the chord progressions and love when the heavy riffs come in. The drummer is amazing and very musical. His fills are great, especially when he starts reeling off one after another. This stuff is right up George and Ryan’s alley. They really should hear more from this band. So far, I’ve listened to “Alkaline”, “Hypnosis”, “The Offering”, “The Love You Want” and “Atlantic”. I’m going to continue going through their catalog and look forward to hearing more of their songs.
@@colinmanderson2185 thanks for sharing, so happy you're enjoying it ❤️. I've been listening to them non-stop for about two weeks now and feel/ thought the same. Keep going!
@@domesticated_kat I'll add to that list as I'm a new convert also. The Night Does Not Belong To God & Distractions
Wow, this was a really spot on, thoughtful analysis. I think you guys nailed it.
This band is the most amazing band on this earth, guys…the talent is oozing out of these guys…give ALL of their stuff a good listen…you will not be disappointed!
So true...they keep getting better. Peace and love.
Been waiting for you to hit these guys for so long!! Each song is so different.. the musicianship is so amazing..but I hope it's a rabbit hole you guys explore!
My favourite song of theirs so far, I hope they make more heavier tracks like this as I couldn't get into their slower more electronic poppy songs.
Super agree
Accord
To stay within the same vehicle of expression limits creativity. Post Metal and or Avante Garde Metal in itself is the fusion of many genres and experimentation is primordial. Music should be celebrated regardless of genre.
I was waiting on y’all’s video for this! I’ve recently fallen in love with them and can’t get enough. This song is perfect.
This song is kinda unique in that it is their most complex track they’ve released out of their entire catalogue.. (so far) but give it a few listens and it’s REAAALLY not as disjointed as you think at first. Nonetheless, I HIGHLY recommend going both back in their music to old(er) stuff, as well as forward to the three songs they’ve released also from this upcoming album! You 100% will NOT be disappointed! You’re so close here but it’s a challenging listen for your first with them! The rest is much easier
The drum fill in the 2nd part of the song is so clean and smooth
This is one that really grows on you as you listen to it repeatedly. Not saying it SHOULDN'T hook you immediately, just that this one grew on ME. Whatever. I'm not a Sleep Token Stan, I just think this one is very "ear-worm-y".
So glad you guys reacted to Sleep Token, love this band! I really hope you do more of there music because Vessel has an amazing voice!
This is the best reaction video I've watched in awhile. Great breakdown of a great song! +1 subscriber boys. Thanks for sharing!
Y'all have got to check out Aqua Regia or Granite by Sleep Token. I promise y'all will not be disappointed.
If you guys liked this, definitely do more songs from them, they have a fairly varied catalog. They borrow from a lot of genres. I’m so happy they are starting to blow up. Went from about 200k monthly listeners on Spotify to well over a million in about a week and a half. Been cool to watch.
All the tracks they've released this month have been amazing and genre bending, hope you guys do Aqua Regia
This was my first dive into Sleep Token, you need to really dig into their entire catalog! It’s like reading only one chapter of a book, you don’t get the full scope without their other songs
The quintessential Sleep Token sound for me, and where I fell completely in love with the music, was their track The Offering - I encourge you guys to check it out :D
I love your guys' breakdown of the song! Subscribed 😁
This channel and review channels similar to this are incredibly important for the metal genre (and most genres tbf). You guys keep it real and give a perspective that a lot of artists otherwise wouldn't get; genuinely well thought out criticism. There's a good few reaction channels that I enjoy but they're almost all hype-manning the music, which I enjoy but I don't imagine is all that helpful to the actual artist beyond an ego boost, which in fairness anyone who puts out well crafted music deserves.
NO WAYYYYYY 😭😭😭
Did not expect them to jump on this one anytime soon tbh
I'm completely addicted to this band right now. Absolutely phenomenal metal, best I've heard in many years [life long metal fan, 40+ years old]. This song is fantastic, not remotely too 'experimental' as is being said here.
These types of songs where things switch up are great. You have to listen to them multiple times to get the groove they’re in. So Ryan, give it 2-3 more times
how Lost in Vegas gonna finally do Sleep Token and they don't even mention the drumming once? II is the best out there right now, check out Hypnosis
got to see these guys tour in the States this last summer and was completely blown away by their live show. Instant fan and cant wait to see where they go.
To sum this song up and the band in general, the are very similar to Deftones, heavy, soft, sexy, dreamscape and down right awesome.
But yeah... not the song i would of recommended for you guys to start on. This is an eclectic mix for a single song. Most of Sleep Token is multiple genres over an album not one song. This was them flexing and showing how they can make it all come together in one song.
Check out "Altantic" "The Love You Want" "Alkaline" or "High Water".
PS: Ryan, those are high pitch screams not growls brother.
Everyone always compliments the singer, which, don't get me wrong his vocals are fantastic. But who else is appreciating the drummer!?! Like damn, those fills are clean!
Their drummer is SO awesome
Just found your channel. Love the ST vids. I think their music has something for everyone, which is one of the reasons I love them.
You can’t pin down their genre & that’s what I love about them 🤘🏻🖤
As a fan since their first record, this is the first time we've heard them approach a song this way. The throughline is usually WAY easier to follow, but I think the fans have been eager for this. Please check out "the love you want" off their second record (I think I've been screaming for this a long time lol)
Vessel has one of the best voices I've heard in a very long time.
Thank you for covering one of the most incredible bands out there
Sleep Token has such a huge variety of sounds across their catalog, it would be interesting to see what you guys would think of other songs of theirs. This song definitely is one of their most experimental, as well as their heaviest. Their newest song, Aqua Regia, has some r&b, pop and jazz influence, and is vastly different. Like most of their tracks though, it's very hooky and an enjoyable listen!
This band I think is definitely reaching out to a broader audience. Anecdotally, I posted on my FB feed the video for Chokehold and talked about how enamored I am with that song, and my sister's friend said she loved Sleep Token. This girl is a choir singer and I seriously doubt she has any other band in her playlist that would be considered metal, based on what I know about her while I was in HS band with her. She is who I talk to when I want to ask questions about singing, and I have a feeling that this vocalist plus some of the more "palatable" / poppy instrumentation you find in the songs allowed her to like a band that also mixes in metal. With her being a singer herself, I bet the vocalist just sucked her right in. The vibe of Chokehold sucked me in, but also the vocalist has just one of the best voices in rock I have ever heard.
YOU FINALLY did Sleep Token!! Yay!
Finally getting into sleep token! The best kept secret in music right now
I would highly recommend “Chokehold” and “Is It Really You?”
both great track. Also, they need to check out Loathe in general, don’t think they’ve had yet
Wait till they find out just how different every song of theirs is to each other song.
how are yall so talented when it comes to breaking music down no matter the genre, its honestly crazy
This song was definitely made for the ADHD running rampant in 2023. I fell in love with it immediately.
This song took me 3 listens to Get It. Like for most of my first listen, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the changes. then the funk-breakdown rewired my brain and I immediately relistened to it 2 more times and now it's in my top-ten favourite songs 😂
also, if u love Vessel's clean vocals, I recommend Atlantic and The Love You Want, also their newest singles Granite and Aqua Regia!
I think Sleep Token definitely has that “sexy” attribute to their songs, most of their songs are about love and stuff.
they don’t keep going and THAT’S the brilliance! You want that ONE MORE piece. Just one more! But they cut. So, now I gotta go back because they hooked me. GD genius!
Do not Sleep on Sleep Token. Amazing band. Even better live 🤙
I agree ! Never ever sleep on sleep token
@@katrinamcrae-owens9087 🤙
So glad you guys did this song! I literally just heard this song and band yesterday and loved it. The more I hear it the more I love it. Take a listen to Aqua Regia from them that was also just released!
The last 1:30 of this song snatches my soul
These guys have that je ne sais quios. They are on the rise.
Oh my GOD!!
Finally, I have been waiting for you to react to Sleep token on this channel since I started watching.
You NEED to listen to The Offering, it’s their biggest track and their best by a mile, which is saying a LOT with the likes of Alkaline, Higher, Gods etc…
You will not be disappointed!
You guys are going to love their other stuff
the slight "what did he say" had me rolling
2:55 that smile sums up everything 😂😂
Nice review. I like this tune and Sleep Token has some strong talent, but your views of the plusses and minuses were well-considered, fair, and your descriptions summed them up really well.
this is the purest unique band i have ever gotten into. i love different and this band is beautiful. i want to see them live. their music is fkn awesome
As much as I have enjoyed the new album, exploring their back catalog has been really rewarding. The album "This Place Will...", with songs like High Water or The Love You Want have a real magic inside of them.
Sleep Token have such a wide range of sound. Hearing one song you still don't know Sleep Token. Gotta listen to a few songs to really understand that they're truly doing whatever the hell they want. I love when a band sounds like they ain't just playing music to play music, but because it's what they were put on this Earth to do, and Sleep Token feels like that. Everything works so well together, and the vocals are amazing
I was turned on to this band last year and this they’ve become one of my favorites. The mystery of the lead singer, the prog metal/ ethereal / pop sound is so cool! They cover Whitney Houston I wanna dance with dance somebody on their first album. Bloodsport (from the room below) is one of my favorite. I think you would be really surprised by it.
The night does not belong to God is a great song that doesn't deviate too much. But callcutta is one of my all time favorite songs. Not just from them but in general! Glad you found them!
Amazing song, great reaction
this band has really been on loop last two weeks every track is good ... love this one the most ...
Me reacting to someone reacting to sleep token is a new addiction…
Great review!!! I wish someone would acknowledge II’s drumming. That shit is so tight and crispy. People don’t realize his fills and rolls and intricacies merge so many parts of their songs all together.
So glad you guys are reacting them! Definitely do Chockhold / Alkaline or Granite or even Hypnosis!
Those songs hold the essentials you guys look for, like repetition and no screaming lol.
This song feels like a journey to me
You've got to listen to "The Offering" from them. That is absolutely a sexy metal song and the singer really shines on that song.
The song reminds me of Ayreon "The Day That The World Breaks Down" in the sense it has a vast variety of vocal technique as well as instrumentation/genre. It's got great cleans, cool high notes, rough growls and screams along with some heaviness, an emotional solo, proggyness, and some groovy jazzy/bluesy type sound.
Definitely recommend checking out "The Day that the World Breaks Down" for some of the best vocalists, musicianship and a mix of everything.
This new batch of songs from the band is just addictive. Granite is also a banger, just like this one.
I think the disjointed transitions exceed expectations and therefore provides something that truly stands out.
Show these guys some love, Sleep Token just won every award of 2023 wit this new album. Worship!
"I've got a blood trail red a blue"
Probably refers to Anunnaki origins. Alien royal blood being blue and our human blood being red.
Heard about these guys a while back ago, definitely something different, hope they get the recognition they deserve
It’s wild, I haven’t visited this channel in a few years, but this morning I woke up thinking “I bet they reviewed that Sleep Token track now that the boys finally broke through.” And you guys didn’t disappoint.
