Twitch.tv/drewf28 Streaming on Twitch later guys - would be delighted if you could all follow me over there and come join the chat - will be talking all things metal, Call of Duty and much more, thanks for the support as always❤️
YESS, I would firstly check out Jaws then Higher i just think the ending for higher will have you jaw dropped (all my fellow sleep token fans know what I'm talking about hehe) !! you're gonna love this band !
Sleep Token music is more of an experience than just music. It truly is art , personally it’s been a long time since a new band has captured me like this and it’s really refreshing to see something so original in this day and age.
Great that you've got around to Sleep Token, everyone will have a fav. But always loved Blood Sport and Sugar. Jaws great too from an earlier EP. If you like this maybe at some point in the future a couple Aussie bands could get some love. Northlane and Thornhill, think you'll love both.
I freaking love sleep token!!! He is doing something truely unique for prog music. My fave sleep token songs are higher, the offering, levitate and say that you will. WORSHIP!!
That was the first song I heard from them. Beautiful and Heavy. Sleep Token in general will appeal to anyone into Deftones, to even bands like I dunno, Coldplay,Radiohead. Those fragile,but f'kin awesomely sung mealoncholic melodies. Higher's second chorus is incredible. It soars to the heavens. Drew will love it!
FUUUUCKING FIIIIINAALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been recommending you Sleep Token for ages now, although I was asking for Higher as a starting point, but The Offering is overally more solid track I'd say. I'm glad you enjoyed it, although I knew you will :P I'd leave the list I commented before many times already, maybe now you gonna trust me more: Sleep Token - Higher Tesseract - Smile Periphery - Reptile Thornhill - Coven Architects - Holy Hell Loathe - I let it in and it took everything
Your reaction is so fuckin similar to my reaction when I heard the song for the first time! I love to see when people enjoying music the same way as I do! 🤘🏻🥰
I honestly love that first half a second when people hear his voice for the first time and that smile creeps out the sides of their mouths. It’s so satisfying to see faces light up because of it ❤️🤘🥲
Discovered them late 2018/ early 2019. They quickly became my favourite band. Love everything about them. The style, the tones, the artwork, the lore. Unreal. 🖤
Honestly took a break from reaction videos and needed to come back to you to start me off again. Never heard of those guys and that’s what I love about your channel, that switch up was fucking heavy! Reminds me of Twelve Foot Ninja, I recommend checking those guys out they are sick. Mother Sky, One Hand Killing are my suggestions
Thank you for this my friend 😌 Higher by Sleep Token next 😁 your reaction made me so happy lmao glad it had an effect on you to say it was the best song you’ve heard in 2020! Once you get a taste of them, their whole discography becomes ADDICTING. You won’t be disappointed, and they’re very versatile
Also I think you need to give Leprous another shot considering this is in their ballpark. Check out the song "mirage" for newer or "chronic" for older from my personal fav album coal.
Since you like this guy’s vocals I really think you’ll like Voyager! I recommend To the Riverside/Ghost Mile as a good starting track. (To the riverside is listed as separate but it’s the intro, the music video for Ghost Mile has both tho)
I'm glad i check this out because that was fucking good song. For another great new song from 2020, try out The Ocean - Jurassic | Cretaceous It's proggy, the musicianship is incredible and the vocals are just as impressive as the music. Jonas from Katatonia also does guest vocals spot.
Their album (of which this is track 2 on) Sundowning which released last year was my favourite of the year, and I've still not stopped listening to it. Absolutely love it, front to back is an amazing listen, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Perhaps a full album reaction is on the cards? Haha.
Thankyou for finally getting me into these guys. What a unique sound and solid album. Check out "higher", "Gods", "Sugar", or "the night does not belong to god" My initial favorites.
If you love the poppy vocals and heavy metal of Sleep Token here, I think you'd love Arcane Roots. 'Curtains' is my personal favorite of theirs, and has the most genre-range in one song that I've ever heard... Every breakdown is another genre.
Ah yes. the song that started it all for me. My first introduction to Sleep Token, and somehow I feel something different every time I hear it. This was before the lore, the story and the message behind this band was known- this was something foreign... and to see where they went after this, it's actually not that far from where they started. I love coming back to this reaction.
Maith an fear,mo Chara le Sleep Token. Good man my friend with Sleep Token. This is a seriously underrated band/artist that, last year let loose the album to raaaave reviews. Full of huge emotion, dramatically sung and performed. It could be a mealoncholic pop song in places. But then Bang-- Massive, descending cliffs of Deftones sized riffs cascade from the speakers. Brilliant stuff. I absolutely think you will like that whole album- and I will defo go with the recommendation for the track "Higher". You will love that.
You need to react to Blood Sport (From the room below) is a great piano reprise of the original version of the song and Sleep Token is such an underrated group and deserves so much more.
I think it's pretty clear now, which type of music you absolutely love, Drew ;) I would recommend the following : - Soen - Martyr (quite similar Singing Stile to what we just heard, or Leprous for example) - Riverside - Lost (more prog Rock, put excellent melodys and lyrics) If you want to listen to something harder: - Wilderun - Far from where dreams unfurl, or - Wilderun - O Resolution (pretty unknown but they dropped one of the best albums last year) - Oceans of Slumber - Winter (most popular Song by them but it's a good one, I recommend to see the video) Keep up the great job your are doing with your videos ;)
Been looking for more Sleep Token reactions and yours has to be the best one! I highly suggest reacting/checking out 'Jaws' by Sleep Token next it's definitely a fan favorite and all for good reasons!
Can't go wrong with any of their songs. They were my favorite find of 2020. Insane band. Chills every time. Jealous you get to experience them for the first time. My recs would be: Blood Sport (do the album version, then the stripped-down "from the room below" version later on) Higher Jaws Dark Signs Calcutta
Drew ST are stunning. Live too. Soul metal. Songwriting, awesome. All of Sundowning is great, but try Calcutta and prepare to have your goosebumps raised.
Trivium "What the Dead Men Say". Another shout out for that to you! You gotta hear it! Their frontman Matt Heafy is a HUGE Twitch guy and streams amazing Gaming content-and music jams- every day on it. Look him up, hes a really cool guy.
I gotta recommend Infinite Ilusiom - Absence, they’re a sick Australian band who’ve gained a little popularity through a reaction video and I think they deserve a lot more. Definitely one of my favourite tracks of the year
Another band you'd kick yourself for not checking out is Rishloo. They're a little obscure, can't really find many other people reactiong to them, but the songs i'd suggest listening to from them are Landmines, Downhill, and Feathergun.
Saw CH at the Black Heart in Camden a few years back and got to chat to them after the gig. It was an *amazing* gig and the whole place was poppin' Great guys as well, ready to spend time chatting about music and beer.
Not gonna lie their visualizers take songs over the top in a way too definitely worth watching their own video again. But regardless it’s dope seeing others have that initial feeling I had when I discovered them.

Streaming on Twitch later guys - would be delighted if you could all follow me over there and come join the chat - will be talking all things metal, Call of Duty and much more, thanks for the support as always❤️
I would pay lots of money to hear this again for the first time
I would sell my kidney to hear Vessel´s voice for the first time again
I always find that I enjoy their songs the more times is listen to them.
Same
First time I heard this live was when they were supporting Architects at Ally Pally, it was insane and I’ve been hooked since
sleep token are the most underappreciated band going right now
@Logan Par theyre like ben & Jerrys, its soooo good, i dont want to share.
Not anymore. The world caught up!
Fast forward to TMBTE and look at them now
keep randomly coming back to this, this is the only reaction that replicates how i felt when hearing this for the first time
❤️🙌🏻
Sleep Token are unreal. They took a little listening for me to truly get into, but once it connected for me it was all over.
Same haha, totally!
Gotta recommend Jaws and Higher by them, they’re also great bangers like this 🤘
these, do a back to back. they will both put you on your ass!
YESS, I would firstly check out Jaws then Higher i just think the ending for higher will have you jaw dropped (all my fellow sleep token fans know what I'm talking about hehe) !! you're gonna love this band !
What he said.
Also, Dark Signs, completely unexpected sound. Blood Sport is amazing as well... 🤘🏻
Franco Villamil Honestly he should do an album reaction 🔥🤘
Whoever recommended this. THANK YOU.
Sleep Token music is more of an experience than just music. It truly is art , personally it’s been a long time since a new band has captured me like this and it’s really refreshing to see something so original in this day and age.
Higher
Jaws
Nazareth
Dark Signs
Gods
They don’t have a bad track. Amazing band.
Dude, Sugar is a fucking banger.
That is one of the greatest breakdown endings of all time. We just got into Sleep Token and that ending is fu*king phenomenal
Great that you've got around to Sleep Token, everyone will have a fav. But always loved Blood Sport and Sugar. Jaws great too from an earlier EP.
If you like this maybe at some point in the future a couple Aussie bands could get some love. Northlane and Thornhill, think you'll love both.
During that build up I was like there’s no way this song gets better. Damnit this was insane
The Night Does Not Belong to God
I freaking love sleep token!!! He is doing something truely unique for prog music. My fave sleep token songs are higher, the offering, levitate and say that you will. WORSHIP!!
No better feeling than finding “THAT” band that just gets you straight away. Black Peaks were that band for me.
Check out holy fawn
You won’t be disappointed
Cannot recommend Higher enough
That was the first song I heard from them. Beautiful and Heavy. Sleep Token in general will appeal to anyone into Deftones, to even bands like I dunno, Coldplay,Radiohead. Those fragile,but f'kin awesomely sung mealoncholic melodies. Higher's second chorus is incredible. It soars to the heavens. Drew will love it!
HIGHER!!!!! it will blow you away even more than this one!!!!!!!!!!
This is the song that got me into Sleep Token a few years ago. They're my favorite!
When I heard this live, I teared up. Worship!
I'm so glad you finally reacted to sleep token dude I've been requesting for ages :D
FUUUUCKING FIIIIINAALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been recommending you Sleep Token for ages now, although I was asking for Higher as a starting point, but The Offering is overally more solid track I'd say. I'm glad you enjoyed it, although I knew you will :P
I'd leave the list I commented before many times already, maybe now you gonna trust me more:
Sleep Token - Higher
Tesseract - Smile
Periphery - Reptile
Thornhill - Coven
Architects - Holy Hell
Loathe - I let it in and it took everything
also Dark Signs you gonna love for suuuuuuuuuuuure from Sleep Token, I can put massive money on it :P
Sleep Token - Jaws and Bloodsport (from the room below)
I love seeing im not the only one with this reaction to sleep token.
Glad I could jump start ya onto this song through Twitch ;) you should really either do Higher or Calcutta next
My man Eric! I’ll be jamming this on stream soon, hope to chat to you over there at some stage later ❤️
Haken Haken Haken! The Architect, Veil, Falling Back to Earth, Carousel, 1985
Your reaction is so fuckin similar to my reaction when I heard the song for the first time! I love to see when people enjoying music the same way as I do! 🤘🏻🥰
Caligula’s Horse. One of the best prog bands making music right now
WORSHIP!
While you are a on new bands, check out Haken. Especially their new album. I definitely think it is something you will like.
Prosthetic - Haken
Opeth A fair judgement/burden
This track is ridiculously good, I've been searching for something post spiritbox and here it is!
love this song so much. it's actually my fav right head of blood sport. but agree with others that higher and jaws should be up next!
I honestly love that first half a second when people hear his voice for the first time and that smile creeps out the sides of their mouths. It’s so satisfying to see faces light up because of it ❤️🤘🥲
Discovered them late 2018/ early 2019. They quickly became my favourite band. Love everything about them. The style, the tones, the artwork, the lore. Unreal. 🖤

my man Alex, much love brother and great to have you back dude
Drew Fortune Love back at ya from Melbourne! Great to see you still kicking ass on the channel
Thank you for this my friend 😌 Higher by Sleep Token next 😁 your reaction made me so happy lmao glad it had an effect on you to say it was the best song you’ve heard in 2020! Once you get a taste of them, their whole discography becomes ADDICTING. You won’t be disappointed, and they’re very versatile
Yes, yes, yes!! Thank you. They will become your favourite band👍👍
First time heard about this song form you. Thx. Really. One of the biggest musical discovery of this year. 🙌
Think I just found my new favorite band! Completely blown away!!!
Also I think you need to give Leprous another shot considering this is in their ballpark. Check out the song "mirage" for newer or "chronic" for older from my personal fav album coal.
By far my favourite reaction video!
Since you like this guy’s vocals I really think you’ll like Voyager! I recommend To the Riverside/Ghost Mile as a good starting track. (To the riverside is listed as separate but it’s the intro, the music video for Ghost Mile has both tho)
Voyager are soooo underrated. Saw them live supporting Uneven Structure (who are also amazing!) and they were *so* tight!
John Smith agreed! They’re super underrated. I’ve never met someone else who actually listens to them, but I’ve converted some friends over
Worship
Definitely should check Dark Signs, Gods, Fields Of Elations, Jaws, Blood Sport or Calcutta
I'm glad i check this out because that was fucking good song.
For another great new song from 2020, try out The Ocean - Jurassic | Cretaceous
It's proggy, the musicianship is incredible and the vocals are just as impressive as the music. Jonas from Katatonia also does guest vocals spot.
That whole album, and its predecessor, is an absolute masterpiece.
Found this band through your reaction, haven't stopped listening since. Truly unique, thanks for the heads up.
WORSHIP
Gotta recomend a band i can't stop listening to ! Haken have been blowing my mind for a while now so check out either The Architect or Messiah complex
that face of falling in love. i wish i could go back and relisten to sleep token for the first time again. this band is so special to so many people
Their album (of which this is track 2 on) Sundowning which released last year was my favourite of the year, and I've still not stopped listening to it. Absolutely love it, front to back is an amazing listen, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Perhaps a full album reaction is on the cards? Haha.

'Curtains' is my personal favorite of theirs, and has the most genre-range in one song that I've ever heard... Every breakdown is another genre.
Yessss, finally!
Ah yes. the song that started it all for me. My first introduction to Sleep Token, and somehow I feel something different every time I hear it. This was before the lore, the story and the message behind this band was known- this was something foreign... and to see where they went after this, it's actually not that far from where they started. I love coming back to this reaction.
Seeing them live at Download Pilot Festival this weekend! Can't fucking wait!
thank you for bringing this song to me, loved it
II really just decided to become super-human for the drums on this one.
Just adding another request for Blood Sport (from the room below) heartbreakingly beautiful song
It's beautiful right? Literally just bought tickets to see them in 2021, I'm beyond excited.
Maith an fear,mo Chara le Sleep Token. Good man my friend with Sleep Token. This is a seriously underrated band/artist that, last year let loose the album to raaaave reviews. Full of huge emotion, dramatically sung and performed. It could be a mealoncholic pop song in places. But then Bang-- Massive, descending cliffs of Deftones sized riffs cascade from the speakers.

Love it bro!!!
You need to react to Blood Sport (From the room below) is a great piano reprise of the original version of the song and Sleep Token is such an underrated group and deserves so much more.
I think it's pretty clear now, which type of music you absolutely love, Drew ;)
I would recommend the following :
- Soen - Martyr (quite similar Singing Stile to what we just heard, or Leprous for example)
- Riverside - Lost (more prog Rock, put excellent melodys and lyrics)
If you want to listen to something harder:
- Wilderun - Far from where dreams unfurl, or
- Wilderun - O Resolution (pretty unknown but they dropped one of the best albums last year)
- Oceans of Slumber - Winter (most popular Song by them but it's a good one, I recommend to see the video)
Keep up the great job your are doing with your videos ;)
When the breakdown is so groovy good you fall back into your chair, I feel ya XD
hey, man. chase carneson sent me this way, and imma have to go and say thank you. this was awesome. looking forward t more.
Been looking for more Sleep Token reactions and yours has to be the best one! I highly suggest reacting/checking out 'Jaws' by Sleep Token next it's definitely a fan favorite and all for good reasons!
Just now discovered these guys and its my new music crack
Would LOVE a reaction to Calcutta by Sleep Token, such a beautiful song!
Hearing this live was magical. I recommend Dark Signs and Gods!
Can't go wrong with any of their songs. They were my favorite find of 2020. Insane band. Chills every time. Jealous you get to experience them for the first time. My recs would be:
Blood Sport (do the album version, then the stripped-down "from the room below" version later on)
Higher
Jaws
Dark Signs
Calcutta
love ya drew :)
Your reaction to this was just like mine … blown away
Drew ST are stunning. Live too. Soul metal. Songwriting, awesome. All of Sundowning is great, but try Calcutta and prepare to have your goosebumps raised.
nice sleeve dude!
holy shit i didnt expect you reacting to one of my fav unpopular band
🤭
Mastodon - The Czar, its from the same album as oblivion which you listened to previously and its probably my favorite mastodon song
Based on this video (sick), I think you'd really like Katatonia. I really liked the Dead End Kings record - tracks The Parting, Buildings, or Lethean.
CANNOT wait until you react to Jaws! Great band, great reaction.
I’d highly suggest you react to Dark Signs. Such a powerful track, and it really showcases Vessel’s lyrical range.. Man is an amazing vocalist...
You gotta do Northlane - Bloodline if you loved this.
Do the live version
@@atharvajoshi5331 YES!!!!
For crissake Drew, get around to doing Haken. You really need to get that new wave of prog metal.
Hearing this live was one of the best experinces ever
Trivium "What the Dead Men Say". Another shout out for that to you! You gotta hear it! Their frontman Matt Heafy is a HUGE Twitch guy and streams amazing Gaming content-and music jams- every day on it. Look him up, hes a really cool guy.
good reaction bro
I gotta recommend Infinite Ilusiom - Absence, they’re a sick Australian band who’ve gained a little popularity through a reaction video and I think they deserve a lot more. Definitely one of my favourite tracks of the year
I love this band, and the bands that brought me to find this is VOLA, The Contortionist, and Haken.
Just found ST and went back to listen to their older stuff. Most of it is decent, but this is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard
Pure Reason Revolution's new album is absolutely amazing, I'd recommend Silent Genesis.
Also, for clean vocals in powerful prog metal, see: Leprous, Haken, Caligula's Horse, VOLA, TesseracT, Ihlo, Agent Fresco...
The song is tops. The best breakdown.
Yup the parish, sleep token are a very special band to me
Another band you'd kick yourself for not checking out is Rishloo. They're a little obscure, can't really find many other people reactiong to them, but the songs i'd suggest listening to from them are Landmines, Downhill, and Feathergun.
Such a great band
Okay... Sleep Token before Caligula's Horse.. I am NOT complaining! These are like the two main bands I'm trying to get out there 😁
Caligula’s horse soon my man!
Stream later, hope to see you there❤️
Saw CH at the Black Heart in Camden a few years back and got to chat to them after the gig. It was an *amazing* gig and the whole place was poppin' Great guys as well, ready to spend time chatting about music and beer.
Awesome song. Check out the whole album sundowning
Not gonna lie their visualizers take songs over the top in a way too definitely worth watching their own video again. But regardless it’s dope seeing others have that initial feeling I had when I discovered them.
You just must listen to Vola - Head Mounted Sideways. I'll really think you would love that track and Vola as a group also!
Nazareth and Calcutta are awesome as well. Try anything off Sundowning - it's an amazing CD. They're incredible live as well. Worship!
tingles everytime
EVERY TIME
7:27 your timeline
Chech Tesseract's Altered Stated. Proxy, Retrospect, Nocturne, Exile, Eclipse, Singularity... The album is a masterpiece!
Bravo Drew!!!! Make Sleep Token to be heard!!! So underrated an so few know about them!! Hear Nazareth track!!
React to Mastodon’s Leviathan album, is a metal classic.
If you want to cry check out Sleep Token "Blood Sport (from the room below)"
