Thanks for checking out the video! I wanted to comment on a couple things. First, I've listened to this song several more times since recording this video, and I actually love it. The vocals, the music, everything. It's pretty amazing to be honest. The song as a whole is pretty hypnotic. Second, I don't do a lot of research (if any) typically before listening to a new band, because I like to go in blind and just react to the music. So, I had no clue that Sleep Token is another masked anonymous band similar to Ghost, and from the way I understand it now, they have like a religious following, and they worship an entity named Sleep. The lead singer is known only as Vessel, and no one knows who they really are. Did I get all of that right? Anyway, they sound awesome, and I will 100% be checking out more of their music. See y'all in the next one!
Hey man, I just found your channel and am now binging a bit. Keep being genuine, I love that and your musical knowledge! And I got similar taste because (without exaggerating) it was the exact same story with my opinion of the song. Wasn't really sold at first and now I'm loving it.
Ace reaction, dude. Love this band. Guitar is 8-string, now custom baritone now in double low E tuning.. no shredding on the guitar which kinda refreshing using it more as songwriting tool instead of guitar gymn stuff most bands use to do.. cool, refreshing band!!
I love this band, all their music is worth a listen, in my opinion they don't have a bad track. and if you pay attention to the drummer he is amazing as well
Their most beautiful song in my opinion is Blood Sport (from the room below) version. I highly recommend doing a reaction on that, but if not then definitely check it out on your own in your spare time. If you like beautiful music you won't regret it.
8 strings in drop G and in some songs (High Water) double drop E btw. The guitarist has a 30 inch scale baritone 8 string for High Water lol. Love your channel, just found it, I like that you know your guitar stuff!
Omg yes finally a reaction where you've never heard of them I keep finding reactions of ppl that already have heard the band b4 so it's nice to get a legit reaction this time. Sleep token is amazing
Ditto on Hypnosis and High Water off "this place will become your tomb" - and I'll add Alkaline. From Sundowning check out Sugar and if you want heavier, Gods . Older songs: Jaws and Calcutta. Love this band! Worship
if you like the falsetto singing stuff, check out leprous in case you don't already know them, you know. just start with the slave live performance, the fans will guide you from there as always :) but keep going for sleep token, they're aweseome :)
Songs these folks are recommending to you will blow your mind(Hypnosis blew mine. I use to listen to more extreme metal but sometimes the algorithm blesses you). Vessel's unique vocals are easy to notice, but drums, man, drums kill: clean, groovy, original, those fills... Worship🤞
This band has been the breath of fresh air after a long stinky fart. A glass of water after a handful of salt. They are my everything. However you won’t find typical metal tropes in any of their songs. Lots of dynamics and electronic used to paint a picture.

Yes! And the drummer (who is amazing) is called Vessel 2. Worship!
I have seen them live in Leeds last week. What a music! So many emotions in Vessel voice. You need check Hypnosis, Alkaline, High Water
Please react to Scarlxrd - Dr dxxm

Higher, High Water, Hypnosis, Telomeres. I mean I'd just dive into all their music lol. I just recently did so and am still obsessed

Definitely right about the drummer. I just did a video for High Water and he goes off in that outro!

I'd recommend High Water from Sleep Token. Song from their new album and I really love it.
High water is so exceptional. The whole album is quite moving, but there are a few that really are captivating. This, being one of them.
'Bloodsport (from the room below)' is a haunting beautiful song and the video, bro! A must see.
Def the kind of band that gets better after multiple listens
High Water off of their newest album has been my jam lately, but it’s hard to go wrong with any Sleep Token songs. Sugar is another favorite
Love Sleep Token! Thanks for the reaction. I would recommend 'Hypnosis' next if you wanna get these guys another listen
8 strings in drop G and in some songs (High Water) double drop E btw. The guitarist has a 30 inch scale baritone 8 string for High Water lol. Love your channel, just found it, I like that you know your guitar stuff!

Welcome to the fandom. Only additional song suggestion not already here is Say That You Will.
That smirk you did was when you realised what a great song this is 🤘🏻👌🏻
Sleep Token is 🔥 Love them. I hope they tour in the States soon
Ahhh Sleep Token. Bloody brilliant band mate.
this song gives me frisson every time
I suggest to listen Higher ! 😊🤘🏻
this was my first sleep token song. I was like wow! you might also like Chelsea Wolfe and Emma Ruth rundle and Lingua Ignota
Since nobody said it, yes, from what I've seen the guitarist is using the "standard" Ibanez 8 String.
Glad you liked them. You should definitely check out High Water, Hypnosis and High Water from them. I think you will enjoy these tracks.
They use baritone guitars 🔥

I can’t wait till this band comes to USA and just shreds the country.
