I like how that a new generation of listeners are finally realizing heavier bands are legit musicians and deserve the attention these guys are receiving. Just think of all the other artists you’ve missed that have been doing this same thing for years and years.
I find it really irritating that everyone reacts to that one, I prefer the original version and its annoying that everyone posting reactions just completely ignores it
Vessel has a very different, unique, yet soothing voice in the genre. Not only his voice, but instrumental wise also somewhat different in metal community. Love em
Sleep Token is just an amazing band altogether! And yes, I will be that guy who says everything that theyve ever made is a masterpiece from their One EP, all the way to This Place Will Become Your Tomb. Great stuff! Worship.
I’m watching this 5 mo later but it does happen to be Friday lol absolutely love this band so very much!!! Remember in the movie “ the mask” that dude wrote the book called “the masks we wear” he said we all wear masks metaphorically speaking lol
This is an old video and someone may have mentioned this already but this is a Vessel quote "Life is beautiful. Don't get lost in genres, they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone." So he is right on par with you about genres
"This was a welcome step up in class," he said open-mindedly. I feel like the percussion in this band's music really stands out. I totally get this song. Sometimes you're just in a comfy chair, it's been a long day, and someone's at the door but you just can't be bothered. And then they COME IN ANYWAY. Just... rude. Got what they deserved, I'd say. Per masks, I mean, gimmicks are fine as long as the musical quality is there, and it's here. Oh, a space pants sighting! This video had everything!
Another great video, Charis!!! I've actually never heard of this bend before, and you reacting to them caught my interest!!! Can't wait for more! Love, your #1 Simp 😘
"You could be watching this video a year after I made it".....damn close, Charis! Damn close! Been watching your vids since near the beginning but I tend to skip vids of bands I'm not familiar with for the most part. Now I'm on a huge Sleep Token kick and I was glad to see that I missed one of yours to come back to! Cheeyas!
Seeing that you're a theatre kid, Sleep Token would be a great band for you to check out more of! Their music videos are all of Vessels dreams for each song that they have a video for. Fun fact, the actual guy behind Vessels mask used to be a theatre kid as well and used to be in an old 2 piece band with a girl he used to be in theatre with.
I checked to see if you've done any other reactions to Sleep Token and it appears you haven't. You really have to check out BLOODSPORT. It's pretty amazing.
Check out the song Jaws. I totally see what you mean on how you described Alkaline. Jaws has more variety. Great song and really shows off Vessels vocals. After that Calcutta is awesome
Sleep token - The Offering Sleep token - Blood Sport (from the room below) You absolutely must do these if you liked this, and I'll definitely subscribe if you do a reaction to those. I love watching people react to those two
A few suggestions. Liliac- We are the Children, Dear Father, or Mystery. They are a 5-piece sibling band that are so talented and they are independent so you don't have to worry about blocked videos. I noticed your title said theatre kid so I would think you would enjoy their theatrics.
This is probably one of their more heavier songs. Most of this stuff is softer with Piano. I'm a massive metal head but this band has that special place.
I'd love to hear your reaction to Nightwish's cover of The Phantom of the Opera (from the musical). They performed it live in 2006 with Tarja Turunen, the band's first singer way before Floor.
I think you can use a neural net to classify all songs on a 2d map where songs that are more similar to each other are closer together and the genres would be where they cluster together. Space pants was a great SNL skit.
@@CharisSellick Right, it would just give you where the points of the songs are in relationship to each other but it would be debatable how to really divide it up into different regions which would be the genres.
@@CharisSellick A reacter asked his viewers today what their favorite genre was and I said traditional/black/symphonic/death metal. Just to be a wiseass
I recommend that u react to The Love You Want by Sleep Token, if you haven't already. I also recommend that you react to Fall For Me by Sleep Token, Fall For Me will remind you of a very very popular song...........
I understand why this was pressed hard on you. The song intro does a great job of pulling you into this tension. By the time the song punches you in full, you are already on edge. I ditch labels frequently myself. I'm pretty sure the background of the band's concept is a reference to a meditative epiphany conceived from a psychedelic state.
Hei Chaaaaaris wow, those fans have you going down the dark alleyways of metal, huh? Slipknot, Sleep Token.... yipes, stripes, Russula brevipes. You can get back into the wide wonderful world of Vocals WITHOUT HAZMAT SUITS by listening to some Ayreon (a project band is an understatement).... try "The Day the World Brakes Down - The Source"), and chase that with the Live version of "Everybody Dies" ... yeah, really uplifting song titles, but you'll be pleasantly surprised.... the first one has 11 vocalists... some of whom you already know. Hey, you don't have to listen to me.... you know I'll hang around just to see what you do next. BTW. ... masks. Back in Viente-Viente, when I was scrappin to find N95's for my clinic, I picked up one of those Plague Doctor / Leather-Raven masks. Goes well with a felted wool, black, top hat and black scrubs...for that 'formal look', amiright? (sorry, they don't make strapless scrubs) Scares the CRAP outta my patients when I show up in it, too. I mean, they already know it's not quite normal at my clinic. ...The Devin Townsend orange octopus on top of the cupboards in the drillin-room kinda gives it away. so....lastly... Clumsy Charis vs Suave Charis? ... hm, I prefer Any Charis, actually, over 99% of the others on YT. Take Care. And give a hug to that guy behind the camera.... he puts up with a lot.
Imo, genres don't exist like any classification doesn't exist. I think they have a function, but shouldn't be taken as a rigid set of requirements. Most of my favorite groups fall into that "genres don't exist" category, so I see what you're getting at there.
if you want to be impressed/surprised you should check out what pro beatboxers are doing now! i would highly recommend you start off with anything from Gbb 2019 but I would also recommend to watch the actual battles and avoid the top 10 things only because you lose a lot of the interaction between the beatboxers
More interesting music requires naming several genres to give an idea of what you're dealing with. They're like flavors, or paint. What color is the Mona Lisa? Does that mean colors don't exist?
Yes so weird. Like people praying to some imaginary being. That's just crazy lol. Also Idk how someone doesn't believe in genre's. They are 100% real they just change with time. That's like saying rap, metal, opera and dub step are all the same sound.
You’re doing yourself a great disservice if you don’t go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole… They are definitely not to be compared to the likes of Slipknot, Ghost, etc. just because they wear masks… This is some of the best singing, drumming, songwriting that’s out there… Alkaline’s just a tiny tip of the iceberg with these guys… As musically diverse a band as you’re going to find…
Cult or band? Yes. It's *an experience*. I try to avoid the evangelical vibes by just ascribing to multiple cults at once so it all balances each other out lol. Like ST and menstrual cups and anime. Keep it all at such opposite ends of the spectrum that one of them can't overtake the others.
Their drummer is always on god mode. Master of ghost notes.
Yes. He needs do a tutorial on Gospel chops youtube. Dude is a unit on the drums. A current student of the game ,and future legend. Soooo a agreed!
What is a ghost note??
@@ChrisBtw the opposite of a regular note basically quieter then normal notes which makes songs sound better instead of playing fully out
I like how that a new generation of listeners are finally realizing heavier bands are legit musicians and deserve the attention these guys are receiving. Just think of all the other artists you’ve missed that have been doing this same thing for years and years.
The track blood sport from the room below set by sleep token is just amazing, puts vassals vocals front & centre
Yes react to this one! 🌟
Agreed
I find it really irritating that everyone reacts to that one, I prefer the original version and its annoying that everyone posting reactions just completely ignores it
100% react to blood sport
Yes that is absolutely beautiful!! Also the album is intense! That one DOES make me tear up vessel gets me every time at the end
Love Sleep Token. They have a very diverse catalogue. Their new album is absolute perfection 😍
100% agree with this! totally fallen in love with this band!
Nik is basically becoming The Godfather of metal.
His content is everywhere!!
Nik who?
Vessel has a very different, unique, yet soothing voice in the genre. Not only his voice, but instrumental wise also somewhat different in metal community. Love em
spiders are friends. they eat everything you don't want in your domicile and then politely leave
Unless they bite you!
@@CharisSellick and you've been bitten by a spider how many times?
Sleep Token is just an amazing band altogether! And yes, I will be that guy who says everything that theyve ever made is a masterpiece from their One EP, all the way to This Place Will Become Your Tomb. Great stuff!
Worship.
This is my favorite video ever!! I absolutely love how vessel is brewing up all this Chi energy and completely wrecks these guys in his throne!!!
Im usually into heavy stuff but this guys voice is beyond beautiful.
Agreed
Listen to more, don't care which one, they're all great
I’m watching this 5 mo later but it does happen to be Friday lol absolutely love this band so very much!!!
Remember in the movie “ the mask” that dude wrote the book called “the masks we wear” he said we all wear masks metaphorically speaking lol
Been waiting for you to do this one. Great reaction, Charis! Keep smiling and stay adorable. 😊
Definitely recommend Blood Sport from the room below. Super emotional and raw performance
Sleep Token is one of my favorite bands! Great video! Highly recommend Atlantic, The Love You Want, The Night Does Not Belong To God
This is an old video and someone may have mentioned this already but this is a Vessel quote "Life is beautiful. Don't get lost in genres, they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone." So he is right on par with you about genres

Hey from the future. Glad to see you checking out Sleep Token. Amazing.
Checking in from 9 months in the future. Amazing reaction video. Love this song. Thank you.
Another great video, Charis!!! I've actually never heard of this bend before, and you reacting to them caught my interest!!! Can't wait for more! Love, your #1 Simp 😘
"You could be watching this video a year after I made it".....damn close, Charis! Damn close!

Fun fact, the actual guy behind Vessels mask used to be a theatre kid as well and used to be in an old 2 piece band with a girl he used to be in theatre with.
3mo later this popped up and I am in fact watching it on Friday… never seen ya before but your personality is so likable!
Thank you! 🥰
Shout out to Nik! XD hes always on top of new metal
The face when those tentacles took the guy... That's perfection. Hahahahaha.
Ngl I’m watched other reactions to see if they brought up the lyrics and nobody has so very happy you mentioned it, remind me of a poem the chorus
More more more more please….. hey from future to the past. Still shining as usual
You've got to hear "Higher"
That song will get ya 😉
Sleep Token Bloodsport from the room below is epic if you're into powerful voice 🖤
This band is 🔥
Charis: "He's Darth Vader'ing this guy!"
Me: "I find your lack of Worship disturbing!"
Watching this on Friday just out the blue! Friday the 13th to be exact
"He's just chillin'" 💀🤣🤣🤣
To answer the question regarding hasnatt suits and guns... The Alkaline in the title is referring to the metal element.
Chillin' like a villain, stealing it. 😊
Hello time traveler, its friday of the next year and I just stumbled on your channel haha.
"Is he a magician" 😂
More Sleep Token Please!!!
I highly recommend The Offering, Blood Sport (from the room below), The love you want and Higher.
hi from the future. i'm watching this video a year from now
This band is just incredible!
LMAO it's literally a year later as I am watching this 😂
You should react to the love you want next, the video is SUPER theatrical!
I checked to see if you've done any other reactions to Sleep Token and it appears you haven't. You really have to check out BLOODSPORT. It's pretty amazing.
It's definitely the future BECAUSE ITS FUCKING SATURDAY
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE
hey back again from 6 months into the future!
You should checkout Hypnosis from the same album. It has a different vibe.
Check out the song Jaws. I totally see what you mean on how you described Alkaline. Jaws has more variety. Great song and really shows off Vessels vocals. After that Calcutta is awesome
Jaws and Calcutta are two of the most amazing songs ever
Skinned skynd is another enigma that you may appreciate
PLEASE check out their song Fall for Me, it's by far the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It made me openly weep.
I am in fact watching this on a Friday
In Australia
2 years later
Technically speaking unless we were present during the recording we are future versions watching your past recording in whatever our present may be
Sleep token - The Offering
Sleep token - Blood Sport (from the room below)
You absolutely must do these if you liked this, and I'll definitely subscribe if you do a reaction to those. I love watching people react to those two
One year later… worship
Sometimes, we have to fulfil our darkness side.Sleep token is the one which can feed my inner darkness❤️✌🏻
Although very dark, I did like the video. A bit disappointed it didn't go heavier.
They go heavier.
The Offering is a much heavier song and it's great. Higher is also good
A few suggestions. Liliac- We are the Children, Dear Father, or Mystery. They are a 5-piece sibling band that are so talented and they are independent so you don't have to worry about blocked videos. I noticed your title said theatre kid so I would think you would enjoy their theatrics.
Also! Sleep Token just released two new singles and maybe a react to them would be worth the adventure.
This is probably one of their more heavier songs. Most of this stuff is softer with Piano. I'm a massive metal head but this band has that special place.
have you listened to Gods by them?
Idk this chick is gorgeous. Her personality makes her glimmer
You definitely need to react to Ice Nine Kills, as a theater kid I think you'll enjoy their last two albums a lot!
I'd love to hear your reaction to Nightwish's cover of The Phantom of the Opera (from the musical). They performed it live in 2006 with Tarja Turunen, the band's first singer way before Floor.
Yeah I gotta do this video!!!
You were talking to me.
I think you can use a neural net to classify all songs on a 2d map where songs that are more similar to each other are closer together and the genres would be where they cluster together. Space pants was a great SNL skit.
Definitely help to generalize the music but are very very unspecific lol
@@CharisSellick Right, it would just give you where the points of the songs are in relationship to each other but it would be debatable how to really divide it up into different regions which would be the genres.
@@CharisSellick A reacter asked his viewers today what their favorite genre was and I said traditional/black/symphonic/death metal. Just to be a wiseass
*Oooo let's talk about chemistry*
Blood Sport, Dark Signs, Jaws, Nazareth
more sleep token!
Just do blood sport from the room below, just do it. I don’t need to explain why, you’ll umderstand why after you whatched it!
Absolutely 🔥
Lol hi I'm here a year after you made the video
Also I highly suggest you check put their newest song "The Summoning" I think it's their most viral song yet (and their best song to date)
I recommend that u react to The Love You Want by Sleep Token, if you haven't already. I also recommend that you react to Fall For Me by Sleep Token, Fall For Me will remind you of a very very popular song...........
I understand why this was pressed hard on you. The song intro does a great job of pulling you into this tension. By the time the song punches you in full, you are already on edge.
I ditch labels frequently myself.
I'm pretty sure the background of the band's concept is a reference to a meditative epiphany conceived from a psychedelic state.
The lore of Sleep Token is a theatrical gimmick. Don’t take it too seriously lol
All hail the sleep king!
You absolutely need to check out orphan by Whitechapel it's amazing
Hello time traveller, I have no idea what you're up to now but hope it's chill
Livin the dream
You got to do Whitechapel’s song Orphan!
Soooooo Speaking of bands that are anonymous dudes in masks. Ghost. You should do Ghost. Specifically "Square Hammer".
I'd rather see a big spider than see a spider with wings......
Hei Chaaaaaris
wow, those fans have you going down the dark alleyways of metal, huh? Slipknot, Sleep Token.... yipes, stripes, Russula brevipes.

Clumsy Charis vs Suave Charis? ... hm, I prefer Any Charis, actually, over 99% of the others on YT.
Take Care.
And give a hug to that guy behind the camera.... he puts up with a lot.
Old Farm Show where ya at? We'll keep a place for you at the comment table. ;-)
Hi I'm from the future lol xD
Check out Take Me Back To Eden

React to Fall for me by Sleep Token
I didn't know if that was a music video or a video game preview..."Are we all wearing masks?" Oh, the irony...
HA! I didn’t even think of that lol
i would say genres are real but subgenres are not, though both very good for specifying your tastes
Reacts to "FAKE" by VEXED
pretty sure the guys in the suits are the band members. every member wants to kill their singer. lol
Yeah I was waiting for the cringe. I agree genres are BS. More cult/bands! Great reaction!
Cult or band? Yes. It's *an experience*. I try to avoid the evangelical vibes by just ascribing to multiple cults at once so it all balances each other out lol. Like ST and menstrual cups and anime. Keep it all at such opposite ends of the spectrum that one of them can't overtake the others.
“She’s perfectly misaligned “ makes me think of you for some reason 😉
Late again
A theater kid... making fun of the band having a fictional backround... you're cringe.
I 100% am
Hypnosis by Sleep Token is a must :)
