Join me as I react to another INSANE song by possibly my favorite new band, SLEEP TOKEN! The song is Ascensionism. The insane amount of thought, dedication and musicianship skill to write and record this song, is just... ridiculous! It's hard to even comprehend what's going on!

Let em yell! This is a reaction video 1:03 . I am here for your thoughts. If they want a full playthrough, they can go to the sleep token page. You do you, man! I'm here for it!
Very much appreciated! Thank you!
I agree, we are here for your take and your reaction, I appreciate your insight as you hear things that I haven't heard or appreciated even after multiple listens on my own. So if you must pause, pause away.
yeah don’t worry about those comments about pausing man. as long as you go back 5-10 seconds after giving us your thoughts, all good 🤝🏼
@@stangy007 I appreciate the kind words! Thank you! I’m sure I missed a million things on this listen.
@@AaronSmithDrums thanks man. I’ll always take feedback
Plus 7 minute song and when it’s over he’s saying NO I want more!!!!!
Right!
When the reactor can't bring themselves to pause due to the POWER OF THE VIBE
WORSHIP 🙏🏻😌😂🙌🏻
LOL
I've seen them live. He sounds EXACTLY like that live. People think it's effects but it's not. There are effects for stylistic enhancements but the singing itself is 100 percent legit.
14:28 "half step down"
YES MY DUDE. One of the simplest changes with the most feeling. Gets me every time.
The half step always gets me!
Vessel isn't a musician in the traditional sense. He is a composer. Instead of a full orchestra, he uses genere bending and key, chord, and melody changes as tools to tell a story. Truly masterful composition. Not a single sound or effect is unjustified.
Worship!
That's a great way to put it!
Back in 2017, in a rare interview, Vessel said : “Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” IMO, it’s this conviction that makes experiencing Sleep Token so transcendent.
Love it!
"Was that it? Nooooo" - My reaction to every song on this album
Right!?
I usually hate it when people pause so much and keep going back but I absolutely adore your reactions bc you go back to truly appreciate each detail and it's so satisfying to see as w huge fan 🩷
Don't listen to people that tell you to not pause. You should do the reaction the way you feel it's best to share your knowledge because we come here for your technical analysis, we know the song already.
I loved your Take Me Back to Eden reaction because I felt like I learned so many new things! Subscribed
Hell yes this is the way to start the morning! I also agree with what Nahlamgood said, you just do you - however tf you want your channel to be, that's why I subbed!
People that come to a reaction video and bitch about the reaction are idiots. If you wanna listen to the song, we have the technology.
Just want to reverberate this, pausing is great when its along with insightful knowledge like most of what you do, if anything skipping back to re-listen is always good but you alredy seem to do this frequently so keeeep on sir!
Dude. Absolutely loved everything about this comment! Thank you!
Yes sir!! Much appreciated man!
The use of the vocoder is so incredible. And yes, he writes it all. Vessel is a genius.
I love how in most reactions to Sleep Token, everyone tries to fit the song into the typical structures we're used to. This is the reason we love them so much, they've completely transformed how most of us listen to music.
It's just...weird to have a band not follow "normal" structure. But when I heard it, I was... Speechless? lol Amazing
@@oldstonerun Alkaline (from their 2nd Album) is probably one of their more mainstream song structure takes. It’s still lush and gorgeous though.
Don’t worry about the pauses. People watch reactions to see reactions to moments they love in a song. Better to catch as many as you can and give your viewers everything you can. Great video, would love to sit and talk music with you.
Another great thing, there’s no official chorus in this song. It’s just music the whole way through
Right on! Thanks for the advice. It’s a very weird thing to hear a song… that has no chorus. Wild!
The way he sings and the way its produced makes it feel like you are in the room with him while he is singing and I think it is so amazing. I'd let this man scream directly into my ears at full volume.
Also, this is a reaction video! We're here to get your reaction and thoughts. Do your videos the way you want to!
I loved that you tried talking and you just could not put your emotions into words! Love it❤
Lol. Thanks! Their music is legit that’s for sure
Welcome to the rabbit hole, my man. I would kill for you to do a full, long album reaction to all three of the albums in the trilogy (Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb, Take Me Back To Eden). This is, without a doubt, your new favorite band.
Man!! I would if it wasn't for a full time job getting in my way lol! I can promise after hearing the first two songs, more is on the close horizon!
@@oldstonerun the eternal struggle, man. I will definitely be here when you get the time to make em!
@@earthscorcher hell yea man. Dude thanks for letting me know about that Tyler Childers video and audio mess up.
I love your reactions. Seems like you really appreciate every note and hear things I hadn’t even heard.
Thanks for the kind words! I can promise I appreciate every note! It’s a very complicated and complex thing to write and record something like this song!
I caught that immediately, too. You can just see the appreciation and enthusiasm on his face. Awesome stuff.
"This is not normal.. at all" 😂 No, it's Sleep Token
Not normal at all! Haha
Those pauses in the song feel like getting to the top of the first of the roller coaster before it all drops, tick..tick....tick............
Nice way of putting it
Please pause and talk! One of the things I enjoyed the most about your last Sleep Token reaction was your breakdown and discussion of the things you noticed! If I wanted to hear the song without pausing I could listen to it by myself haha. Keep up the great work, your excellent insights are the reason people will watch.
Yes, I feel the same way! I love when people share their knowledge because I am not versed in the technical musical aspect.
Pikachu surprise face reactions are fun but when reactors have interesting things to say, I hope they stop every 10 seconds to share with us.
Don’t feel bad for pausing! Some reactors talk about sections for 2-4 minutes and that’s a bit much, but providing 5-15 seconds of commentary on pauses is great! Really loved the balance on your reaction to Take Me Back to Eden
Hey! Thanks so much for the feedback! It’s freaking much appreciated man I’ll tell ya! Thanks again!
Thanks for the kind comment
Thanks so much! I appreciate this
That half step down at the end gets me every time, so damn good.
The production in sleep token is absolutely phenomenal... ❤
I 100% agree!
Pause as much as you want, we love to see the reaction! Sleep Token is hands down the band of the year.
Thanks for the comment and confidence!
14:05 to 14:11 that breath and gut wrenching scream is so devastating.
I feel like especially this latest album each song is more like a piece of classical music. I mean that there are movements within the songs. It is a masterpiece and I am so happy these tokens to sleep have been gifted to us all.
I haven’t heard it out like that before but I totally agree with you!
I think from a songwriting perspective, this is their best yet. Not necessarily their best song, but I can absolutely see music teachers using this song in their classes. It's so cleverly put together, so much attention to detail and structured so brilliantly. From the same album I think the closer Euclid is up there too as the second best on the record.
One of their heavier songs Hypnosis is also incredibly well written.
They don't play by the rules and that's one of the things people like about this band. Nice reaction, I hope you do more, and delve into their back catalogue. It's very varied :)
Thanks for the comment man, it's much appreciated. I can't wait to listen to more. I can only hope that future music teachers use this as music lessons!
Its also one of the reasons why they have an equal amount of haters too, those metalhead gatekeeper brains short circuit!
@@RPZSTA man. I can’t imagine how this band could have haters. That’s just silly.
@@oldstonerun Well the haters are the same haters that hate on Ghost ( have you listened to them? ) Its just people not letting new music whether its actually written well or not into their genre. I also think ( this is just a theory ) that they might be a little homophobic, Ghost and Sleep Token do a little bit of tom foolery on stage grabbing or sensually riding one another during some performances more than likely because it sends white girls absolutely nuts. So many girls on Tiktok have dedicated stage smutt from their live shows haha.
@@RPZSTA lol! Nah I haven’t tried ghost yet but I’m going to. Metal changes man. Some people get stuck in their ways when it comes to music. It’s just how it’s always been. People in general take a while to come around. Lol that’s funny with the girls and their stage antics. Who cares. Let them have fun!
Hey man, this is your channel, you can pause as much as you want to!
Lol thanks man
"Was that it?!" (after hearing 7 minute long song) - true words spoken from any ST FAN, that's how you know we got him...
You've probably already done this by now, but in your own time just go back and listen through the songs and let them run through you and enjoy the ride. BUT ON YOUR channel, do WHATEVER TF YOU WANT cuz its your video. That's why I subbed to your TMBTE reaction video, I really appreciated your musical knowledge. You were following the hints and notes they were dropping, so when the time came at @9:12 you knew EXACTLY what was about to go down, and that's what I'm here for. I LOVED IT!
Vessel/ST is very intentional I think in the way they make their songs, he was obv trained well and knows his stuff - makes you wonder if he used to sing professionally in a choir or something, the theatrics notwithstanding xD
I love his voice so much I can't even begin to describe, it delivers me to another dimension. Don't worry, he makes me sweat too ;) Keep worshipping, you can't go wrong with them! I'm honestly jealous but so filled with glee whenever I find someone who discovers them for the very first time and hearing them listen and vibing with their music. WORSHIP
100% this I LOVE his musical knowledge about these songs. Make's me notice things I haven't before.
Absolutely love this comment! Thank you so much. Means a lot to me! Honestly, I could do like 10 videos on this one song alone. Just the number of different vocal techniques in this one song is just...Crazy!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Fantastic reaction ST got you yay ❤
I love this reaction because my first time hearing this I was super overwhelmed with all the sounds and genre bending/flipping but was just left in awe and amazement. Also the end of the song makes me sad because I feel like it shouldnt end.
Right! Thanks for the kind words and comment!
9 min song ends: "is that the end? Nooooo"
This is easily my favorite song on the album. Vessel and II are who write all the music. Vessel writes the lyrics and collectively the two of them put everything else together
II is the drummer if you didn't know, sorry I should've clarified
i don't want too discredit II at all but from what i've heard, vessel solely does everything else himself except the drums and some of the post work. Vessel is credited for guitar, bass, piano on basically every song in their discography. dude is an absolute genius along with II's drumming just makes the most out of this world music you'll ever hear
This whole album has something for everyone and something for everyone that they didn’t know they even needed or wanted.
I definitely didn't know I needed all of these genres of music mixed so well together!
Vocal coaches have speculated he's classically trained when it came to vocals.. and vessel also plays piano so he more than likely wrote all the melody lol
He's definitely classically trained... He has to be! lol
This man's mind has been torn in two.
At least in two lol
Whoever yells at you for pausing needs to just go listen to the song. You’ve got a lot of value to add to what you’re hearing, so please pause or go back as much or whenever you like! Have you heard The Summoning yet? If not, pack a lunch. You’ll have lots to talk about listening to that one. 😁
Oh, and there are very few Sleep Token songs built with a traditional structure. Heck, you don’t even get backbeats that often either. They’re prog so it’s supposed to be different, but they’re still breaking all the rules and I’m here for it.
Love this comment! Thanks for the kinds words and info! Much appreciated!
can’t put these guys in a box 😉 a part of me wishes I was a first time listener of ST for this album, but also maybe not because you did mention how overwhelming Take Me Back To Eden was lmao.
truly a one of a kind band. this album put some energy back into me that I’ve been missing and needing for awhile. if you haven’t picked a next song, I’d recommend just going from the beginning of the album to the end. maybe checking out The Night Does Not Belong To God before the rest of the album since they do a call back to that song in Euclid, the closer, and you might appreciate the evolution of the band as well as the evolution of that specific song in the context of Euclid.
excited to watch you listen to more of them regardless
Dude. Absolutely love this comment. I’ve grown up with music in me my entire life. And I thought it was just me getting older, but finding new music to inspire me these past few years has been nonexistent. Then. Well. This happened! My faith in music has been restored!
Thank you for your reactions to Sleep Token. You are my favorite reactor ! Just the right balance of technical musicality and pure humanity.
Thanks Kelly! I appreciate the kind words.
Dude!!! Sleep Token brought me to your channel and I'm seriously loving your work!!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
7 minute song.... "Is that it?".
That's sleep token
Man.....I've watched countless reactions to this song and yours is up there with the best. Brilliant reaction
I appreciate the comment man! Thanks so much
A trend I’ve noticed on sleep token reactions, “is that it” the songs are not short but nobody wants them to end. It really is a beautiful thing. So glad I found this band
Recently became a fan after putting off Summoning for a long time, over the past 5 days yt has seen my numbers gl up watching reactions that end with “that’s it,” or “come on” ❤
I love that the song is over seven minutes long and you look like you wanted it to keep going when you got to the end. :D
Lol me too man
Please please please do more reactions! I love them (and pause at any time you want because we're here for the reaction!)
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m trying to do more! Copyright keeps blocking my videos. I totally understand it, but, dang! Lol
Honestly screw anyone that complains about pausing. If you want to listen to the song just go listen. We came here for commentary. Good job I enjoyed it!
Thanks man!
I love how speechless you get 😂 ST makes us feel the same ! 🖤 worship
I don’t know if I’ve ever been left speechless that much in one song lol
@oldstonerun then I can't wait to see more! You're gonna have a good time if you decide to travel down that ST rabbit hole!
@@urfvsuthrngal318 thank you. I feel I have to at this point after these two songs. I have to!
Pause when you need to, homie. Your analysis is unique, thoughtful, and interesting. Just drop a warning at the start that you pause a lot. Some people get mad about you breaking the "flow" or whatever, but you are definitely a strong enough musician to remember whats going on, and the insights you give in the pauses are worth it.
WORSHIP
Much appreciated the kind words and feedback man, thank you!
Youre great man! After at least 30 listens to this song, I'm still just as amazed!
Only 30??? There's still time 🖤🖤
It freaking needs that many listens to break it down!
This is the absolute best reaction of this song i’ve seen by far. You got every emotion that I think most of us had when we first listened to this song. Love your work man, keep it up
Thanks so much man! Thank you!
Earned a new subscriber. Loved the musical insights in the reaction. This is my favorite Sleep Token song. Totally transcendent experience.
Thanks so much! It is an experience that’s for sure!
Brother, I know 5 months is a million years in internet time, but I had to tell you "thanks" for helping me hear things I didn't know were there...like musical Easter eggs. I wasn't hearing some of the things because I had been listening through speakers...then I put the headphones on. Dude, it's like listening to the album for the first time again! Thank you, thank you!
Amazing song, really enjoyed your take on it! The pausing is necessary, but you let it breathe this time and heard so much detail. Loved watching you notice all of the bits and bobs. Thank you for this!
Thanks for the comment and kind words!
I was so excited when I got the notification for this video! I’m loving these reactions and you can pause as much as you want! So much can happen in a Sleep Token song in the span of a few seconds.
Thanks so much! Seriously thank you!
"I don't even know..." That about sums it up. Epic music
One of my favorite songs ever. And albums. Just incredible.
i love seeing people react the exact same way i reacted my first time listening to this beautiful masterpiece. take me back to eden is my all time favorite but this one is right there with the chill inducing factors. sub earned my friend
Much appreciated! Thank you!
Wait until he discovers The summoning by Sleep Token
I keep seeing this recommendation. Trying not to watch it till I can record.
Worship.
Bro pause wherever you feel is necessary! Don't let people take away from your genuine reaction. Sleep Token is a lot to take in lol do whatever you feel is needed brother! Also, iirc Vessel (the singer) writes most, if not all, of the parts of their songs. Vocals, instrumentals, etc.
Thanks man! Also, it's insane one person writes this "style". It's not normal.
Vessel is a straight up genius, him and II the drummer write and play everything on the albums its insanity!!
I agree with everyone else regarding the pauses. I’ve heard the songs a ridiculous amount of times and I’m here for the actual reaction, or there’s no point and I may as well watch the original 😄. Subbing! If you hadn’t already guessed, Vessel is well spoken and they’re from England. One of the few bands I know where the accent is used to enhance the vocals. He’s exceptional.
Thanks for the kind words! I really do like how he uses that particular accent to color his vocals. Exceptional is a great way to put it
This band are just simply bloody brilliant& this coming from a teenager from the 70’s who’s gods were L/ 3:37 Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Rush& the list goes on.
Never would I have believed that a band from today would blow my mind
Talent, conviction, feeling, soul,, they have torn up the rule book.
Adore them ❤
Part of me wants ST to take over the world…the other part of me feels the world doesn’t deserve them. Absolutely phenomenal!
Every once in a while there is music worth listening to!
Sleep token is so amazing in that by the time you recognize build up they are hammering you with what’s next and you just can’t keep up and are left in awe 😮
Hypnosis next is probably the play 😉😂
Nice reaction man, I'll be here for any Sleep Token song you check out 🕯️
Your confusion is so cool to see. Somehow I don't have that with Sleep Token (only know them for 6 months now). Probably because a) I'm not a musician and b) I don't give genres to music, I take it as it is. Therefor, Sleep Token makes perfect sense to me somehow and especially Ascensionism . They are indeed all over the place yet it's one coherent track
Thanks for the comment. And I like your take on it. Just take it for what it is. Very nice!
Loved your 2 reactions.....welcome to the Sleep Token party lol Album of the year for me and many others.
Thank you!
This was somehow SO hilarious and simultaneously very informational. Loved your reaction! Screw those people. This is YOUR channel, bruh. Do YOU!
Hahaha hell yea!! Thanks for the kind words!!
Of course! Your analysis is what drew me to your channel, and now I'm hooked on all your ST reactions 😅
@@StardustFreckles lol! Thanks. A new one tomorrow! Just saying… lol
WHAAAAAT. LFG! 🤘
@@StardustFreckles hell yeaaaaa
I love your analysis. You really pick out intricate things I’ve not heard in these songs on your first listen, even when I’ve heard them countless times at this point. Very impressive. Subbed ❤
Hey man, thank you for the kind words and the sun. It’s much appreciated.
Here for all your sleep tokens
Great song
Man, just came here to say that this is a REACTION video. If people want to listen to the song uninterrupted, let them stream it. Pause all you like! Dissect the lyrics and instrumentation all. you. like. Please. This is my first video of yours but it’s one of the better reaction videos I’ve seen for this band. It’s very fun to watch people pick apart the lyrics, but as a music major I hugely appreciate your appreciation for the production and instrumentation. Sick shirt, by the way, and Worship
crazy how much you can hear after you call it out. so knowledgeable omg lol
Welcome to the rabbit hole 😅.
If the music blowing your mind, wait to see the lyrics
Lol! I do need to go back and listen and read the lyrics
"hey guys, i just wanna rewind a bit, now listen to this as I talk over it twice as much!"
Dude, downloaded it. I want to hear from you. Loved your Summoning reaction. So fun to hear you dig in.
Hey man, thanks so much!
My reaction same as yours at the end of every Sleep Token song; "Is that it? Noooo!"
The pauses are what make reaction videos, otherwise it's just watching someone listen to music haha! I know the negative comments are loud but I promise if you curate the right crowd those comments will get drowned out by other people who actually want to have constructive conversation.
I also want to reccomend another band from this label, "holding absence" is very different but super super talented. They are early 20s and playing super tight post hardcore. They don't do numbers for reactions but I absolutely adore the band
Thanks so much for the comment, it’s much appreciated. I’ll always take feedback. I will absolutely check that band out!
I LOVE your ST reaction videos. So good!
Ohhh this one gets nastyyy! Love it! Well done on less pausing too, it made me laugh when you said you get shouted at for pausing 😂 Looking forward to more 🖤
haha, thanks! I took the constructive feedback and I'm learning lol
@@oldstonerun haha aren’t we all, always learning! Now get on the rest of sleep tokens discography 🤣
@@TobiiRheaStarr haha deal
@@oldstonerun yasssss 😆🖤
This and Aqua Regia are my faves from this album. I can’t wait to see them perform their new stuff live in September.
interesting, Aqua Regia is the one i skip the most...but im glad to see different perspectives around the songs
I'm seeing them live in September too! Sooooo excited
I'm jealous!
Worship 🙏💜
For Sleep Token, the best thing to do is rip up the rule book and consign it it to the waste paper basket! Both for song structure and genre. Where Sleep Token are concerned those things are irrelevant. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
You did a very nice reaction here. Subscribed. Liked it a ton.
Thanks so much!
Sleep token is their own genre. It's music that will either resonate with you or it won't. For many of us, it's incredibly powerful music, that reaches into our souls. If you really want a beautiful song with just Vessel and a piano that will reach into your soul but also show off Vessel's incredible music ability, listen to Bloodsport from the room below.
3:55 LMAO best reaction ever to this song
This is your channel bruv pause all you want
Здравствуйте! Я посмотрела уже много ваших реакций, спасибо за них!
Хочу сказать кое-что: нажимайте паузу, столько, сколько вам хочется! Пожалуйста!
Мне нравятся ваши реакции именно из-за того, что это почти полноценный анализ! Вы слышите и сразу говорите, комментируете, это я и жду всегда) ну все фишки не запомнить ведь до конца прослушивания!
Делайте обзоры так, как вас удобно и приятно. Те, кто хотят послушать трек или посмотреть клип - пускай идут на официальное видео и смотрят без пауз.
Благодарю за ваш труд!
Good reaction bro
Ya i gotta subscribe you a goat
Much appreciated man. Thank you
Bro, you can pause. Ignore them fakes. Just remember to go back 5-10 secs each pause to catch back the rhythm 🖤
Thanks man, I'm learning.
Fantastic reaction! ❤
Vibes bro it’s just vibes
Agreed!
What a journey, huh? ❤
Do your channel the way you want. Don't listen to the people telling you not to pause. Be comfortable and do your thing. I subscribed after your Take Me Back to Eden reaction and you're doing great work
Much appreciated! Thank you
The Summoning and Chokehold are my 2 favorites after Eden. So good.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don't feel bad about pausing. reacting in a reaction video is a fine thing to do xD
Appreciate it man. Thanks.
