It always makes me laugh because people think that core singers are like hateful people that hate life when in reality they are THE nicest people to walk this earth.
I'm not sure if the look on her face at first is like "Im scared, what's happening" or just shock and confusion mixed with awe lol. But seeing these two react to music together is kinds cute 😅
@liveandletlive2014 for a trained musician Sleep Token is a huge sensory overflow at the beginning. You hear Metalcore but at the same time it's a surprise test for Jazz groves, the guitar and bass are on crack and Vessel mixes all kind of tricks from any genre out there while doing his own stuff.
an extreme metal vocalist and a opera singer, friendship blossoming over the years and now geeking out over a song that spans several genres. can't make it up, music is universal
Remembering when Elizabeth done her original reaction to Will's vocals and being fascinated and horrified, and now they're just nerding out together to Sleep Token. You can't help but smile the whole time watching this. Such a wholesome duo.
I love how Elizabeth is sitting there getting her mind and ears blown by Vessel and Will is just sitting next to her air drumming and just vibing along 😂
I just imagine Will being like a little kid like "can we do Sleep Token TOGETHER?!?!?!" He's so enthusiastic about everything and it's so REFRESHING. ❤
The Summoning is the closest thing to edging that I've ever heard in a song. You think it's going somewhere, then it stops and takes you away from that sweet spot to another unexpected sweet spot, and back again. Edging.
@@tracyraines1059, I think it's also something to do with the relative ages of their main vocal styles. Opera seeming "older" than Metal... but are Operatics older than Throat Singing or Demonic Squeal or Pterodactyl?
Will's face when Elizabeth says "it sounds kind of jazzy" is everything to me.... he's just thinking in his head "oh, just you wait...". Love this collab and reaction so much!
The way these two have connected over the past couple of years is incredible. It’s so refreshing seeing when talent recognizes talent, no matter the genre. Love seeing them together ❤
@@sebastianrivera6164 right!!! And it's completely so wholesome too. What makes it so great is seeing how the two bring out so much of each other's personalities. So much appreciation for each other. It really is crazy cool watching this.
The way Sleep Token sings "you've got my body, flesh and bone, the sky above the earth below" sounds like some sort of holy vow its literally so gorgeous omggg
You're all wrong. He worships Satan. He gave his soul to him. As above so below is duality, same thing that Anton Levay taught. The same thing that the Baphomet does, one hand points up the other points down.
very true. there are very few "celebs" that I want to meet. very few. like I don't even want to meet the members to my favorite bands. But I would love to meet Will. He seems like and incredibly humble and genuine young man. Especially considering the incredible talent he possesses.
@@ownedasteroid1918 He actually lives pretty close to where I do in NJ. He just acts like a regular Jersey boy to me! =D (we aren't all bad over here lol)
Lorna Shore AND Sleep Token are playing at a metal festival in my country this summer. I could really see Will fangirling like this in the audience lmao.
wait where is this??? i must know. i found lorna shore after hearing sleep token on liquid metal on sirius xm and hearing about willls cover and both of them are some of my favorite bands now
One of the things that makes Sleep Token so good is the intensity contained within a well-modulated rich-toned voice. Very much like Maynard from Tool.
I've been saying they're the modern day heavy pink floyd with a mixture of tool. Melodic and intense instrumentals, strong vocals, and very strong story telling musical arrangement.
Always thought Tool would stand alone for me, but that was the first place my mind went when I started listening to them. Which is crazy, the sound is entirely different. But the song structure, the layering. Lyricism and story telling. The conviction of the vocals. The technicality of the drums. It's all on another level with these two bands specifically. Truly incredible stuff.
I immediately thought the same thing. I have seen both in concert multiple times, and they are both amazing. In terms of presentation/ visuals, TOOL holds the top spot. But vocals, lyrics, and composition they are basicly equal, and I never, ever thought I would say that.
@@mrprincemusicandgaming I could have seen them at Bloodstock last year but was far too hungover. Will did come out with Malevolence later on that night
@@lunarsolstice7081 That man is a vocalist, being in music videos and playing live. Here he is in a relaxed setting nerding out with a friend about a song. Can't get more chill than that.

@@ghost_mechanical4214 its a west country thing as well(vessel is from bristol) even punk singers from here do the same thing, Jaz coleman from killing joke for instance. or even female vocals do something similar like beth from portishead.
I had an incling that they were British but couldn't be totally sure. I discovered them through tiktok. I'm a metal head and find sleep token an absolute breath of fresh air. Even my wife likes them 😂😂 can't wait to get tickets and head to a gig
You guys need a weekly 1hr reaction/podcast. Will is such a fun, genuine dude. You both together is entertaining AF, & i want more. Like, for real tho.
@ 34:58, the "Oh and my love" is the exact same key and general progression as the second part of the first verse "You've got my body, flesh and bone". So not only are they carrying a heightened sense of that same ambient/more chill vibe, they are also picking up and progressing on melodies from all the way at the beginning, as is the guitar (notes played are similar to the chord progressions a bit earlier in the song). It's a simultaneous callback to like 3-4 different parts of the song, while ALSO making it different AGAIN. Absolutely insane. Unconventional songstructure is my favourite thing in music and Sleep Token is just fucking KILLING ITTTTTTT
The way so many of us were present when this friendship started and the way we see it evolve and them working together and hanging out is so so wholesome! Still waiting for the Will/Elizabeth Phantom of the Opera cover ❤ or any song with the two of them really
I really want her to react to Death of Peace of Mind, even though it’s not my favorite. But starting out with Noah’s pandemic challenge video, so she can see how it came full circle, into an amazing piece of art, from the weirdest beginnings.
Watching people on Drumeo trying to figure out parts for these songs is hilarious because they have to just get outside their own boxes so much. and then they hear what Two did on the song and they're amazed and baffled. He's so incredible.
This exists. Theater of tragedy and draconian are two bands that do this and I love em. Check out theaters old stuff. There new stuff sucks and no metal vocals. Or any draconian song.
I've been impatiently waiting for Elizabeth to finally hear Sleep Token. They're overwhelmingly amazing. Every...single...song. Vessel is one of my favorite vocalists of all time, his range and expression are among the very best. And the drummer, II, is just...inhumanly talented. I could go on and on but I'll just wait for the inevitable CV Sleep Token journey. Just pick a song and you'll fall in love. And I'm so glad Will joined her for this one. For those who don't know, his vocal cover of Chokehold is magnificent. I gotta ask, if you ever think you know who Vessel is, don't tell anyone. The band's commitment to anonymity is integral to their art form. I'm definitely curious but I'd honestly rather not know, and I think a lot of fans feel the same. ,,
I love how Will is so humble about other vocalists skills. Especially considering he is one of the best metal singers alive right now. Will can even sing too. Like damn good clean singing. Will is one of the maybe 3 "celebrities" that I would love to actually hang out with and talk music, especially since I'm finally learning how to sing and scream.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US???" And oatmeal was just ejected from my nasal cavity onto my keyboard. It's so fulfilling watching two repected professionals of different music genres (though I think we can safely say at this point that we've brought her over to the Dark Side) who appear to be kindred souls appreciate another professional artists work.
I “found” Sleep Token only about a month before this song was released… I’ve never heard a band change genres 5 times in a single song before… time signatures, yes, but GENRES?? Love it!
I love Will's boxing-doggy-paddle dance moves or whatever that is Edit: Also I love how Will is a deathcore vocalist who can make the most demonic sounds perceivable to the human brain and looks so serious in music videos but then IRL he's like the cutest human being ever
for real tho, I showed my girl the video they did with the throat camera and her reaction was basically, "those sounds come from that happy little guy?" and i thought that is basically the perfect way to sum it up
I kept asking for this song, and was getting butt hurt that it wasn’t happening. This is such an unexpectedly amazing treat. As the old saying goes, good things happen to those who wait. I also absolutely love how this friendship between Elizabeth and Will has blossomed, so wholesome!
To me it's weird that The Summoning is the one getting all they hype when personally I think that Vore is an objectively better song. I suppose it was uploaded a couple of months before Vore though so hey ho.
At 31:45 I knew she wasn't ready, but the reaction was priceless. This song is one of a kind, and can mean alot of different things to different ppl. It's therapeutic to me, to others it's the unofficial bedroom anthem of 2023. The list goes on.
The look on Will's face when Elizabeth starts talking about it being almost jazzy is just full of "oh you have no idea". Elizabeth's description of the solo "bubbling over" is honestly also a really good visual description for the progression. Edit: that whole portal-tangent was the cutest
I love that Revolver mentionned Elizabeth's channel and quoted Will's analysis on their last article on Sleep Token, Will's undying love for Vessel's voice is now recorded for the posterity :D
i don’t really watch reaction videos that often, but i was literally smiling ear to ear the entire time watching you two absolutely dork out over this song. it also gave me a lot to think about as a musician. i practice intentional listening, but it’s always fun and super informative to get the perspective of other musicians on music that inspires you. thank y’all so much for this video!
I’m only 5 minutes in and I’m smiling so much just from Wills genuine respect and her impeccable ear for totally intimate vocal moments…and how much FUN they’re both having. Thank you!
Absolutely loved this. Will giving his perspective as a fan and as a metal/harsh vocalist balanced with Elizabeth's knowledge and experience was so great. Also, it seems like they are genuinely friends which makes the back and forth wholesome
BEST. Reaction. Ever. 🖤 But way too short! I love how Will is totally into ST and gets so excited. I've been obsessed with them ever since I discovered them a few months ago. PLEASE do more ST reactions, you will not be sorry. Every song is a masterpiece and Vessel's voice and breathing and control are incredible.
"You offered me chicken nuggets and gave me bacon." LMFAO you need to have Will on more often! As much as I love the solo commentary, having a co-host really elevates it
You two need to do a song together. Lorna shore and Elizabeth doing opera vocals would be out of this world. Cant wait to see lorna shore for first time in Toronto this Aug.
I now understand the hype of Sleep Token. That was just wow 🤯 Also, I never thought I’d see someone get more excited than Elizabeth about a song but Will is just bouncing all over the place loving every second of the song. It’s so awesome 🤘
Both of you give immense sibling vibes! I dont know if its the eyes or your lips, I just cant unsee it. Its like watching a "Sibling's React" video. you're the traditional elder sister from Juilliard, and Will is the black sheep metal kicking dropout BUT lovable brother, and both of you finally came to a point in your lives where you can finally connect with him by listening to a metal track that has these traditional elements (Jazz, funk, etc.). And you can see he's so stoked to share this with her and she's just gushing over his adorable banging & kicking, its.. wholesome?
I love the big sister little brother interaction they naturally emit 😂😂 it goes to show that when people who are passionate about something get together there's natural chemistry that surfaces. There should be a channel with both of them analyzing/reacting to music and singers. The Eli and Will Show lol or The Metal Opera House Channel 🔥🔥 fav channel for sure 💯💯
The fact that they are like friends who hang out and collab just fits perfect, the world didn’t make sense until this happened. I don’t even really mess with Lorna shore, but will is like one of my favorite musicians/people.
I studied as an opera student for many years and I SO APPRECIATE THIS WOMAN’S EXPERTISE focusing on what Vessel is doing vocally. I know people get it, he’s really good. But as a vocalist, I’m always thinking critics of this band don’t know HOW GOOD! All the transitions he pulls of with his voice are INSANE and difficult.
There is no friendship in the entire world that could make me smile as big as THIS! The most wholesome and beautiful thing ever. Every video with Elizabeth and Will just makes me so ridiculously happy 💜
You two have CLEARLY hacked in to the algorithm because you are such a delightful contrast of personalities sharing their love for music and vocal prowess, the result is just… refreshing as f*** 😊

The unlikely friendship between a renowned opera singer and an immensely popular deathcore vocalist is a beautiful thing
It's Scratching the itch nobody knew they had until now

he does
So perfectly said
I believe it was Nik Nocturnal that said Will was like a golden retriever who just summoned Cthulu up to the Northern Hemisphere 😂
hahahahaha thanks for this
He sure does 😁
You get sucked into Vessel's voice and almost completely forget that the drummer is straight murdering that drum set.
The drums at the beginning screaming was the part that made me get initially interested. Heard the song on sirus XM and now I'm a huge sleep token fan
I'm pretty sure he sold his soul to a sleeping god for his drum sticks... Or maybe I just made that up... Nobody will ever know...
I have seen this guy's in wacken last Saturday.
They where just incredible. The vocals where even better than on the recording. Just phenomenal.

nah this is so real thoo 😭
This is based off the impression I get from the lyrics themselves- that’s exactly what it is. Like Sleep Token turned sexual tension into art.

I was looking for the words to describe this song. And you nailed it! 🤟🏼🙏🏼😂
Petition for Elizabeth being a guest vocalist on a Lorna shore track!!! I love their friendship ❤
im sure that has been discussed right??

The breath though!!!!
i’m sure he’s the only one in the band
Seeing a vocalist of Will's caliber getting so excited, really is a testament to how good Vessel is
“It’s almost jazzy in some ways”- she really is a genius
jazzy straight into the new genre that sleep token is trying out - funk token

I really want her to react to Death of Peace of Mind, even though it’s not my favorite. But starting out with Noah’s pandemic challenge video, so she can see how it came full circle, into an amazing piece of art, from the weirdest beginnings.
I love they collaborated on creating a harsh vocals warm-up course FOR FREE !!! 🤘
(see link in the description underneath the video)
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊
The anticipation on Will's face for that last third of the song - he wants her reaction to the complete flip this song makes. It's worth the wait ❤
The fact that Will’s favorite band is Sleep Token only makes him that more amazing
Will's smile and excitement is everything. So glad Sleep Token is finally getting the recognition they so epically deserve!
Will covering sleep token's hypnosis got me into sleep token..makes sense that's his favorite band...he nails it so good.
And chokehold 🥰
@@jsimsgt96 that cover was sick
II's drumming is extra planetary on this track. He's a technical master and artistic wonder on the kit.
Watching people on Drumeo trying to figure out parts for these songs is hilarious because they have to just get outside their own boxes so much. and then they hear what Two did on the song and they're amazed and baffled. He's so incredible.
You two need to make a track together, operatic death metal. The masses need this!
Fleshgod Apocalypse - Prologue/Epilogue
You're welcome. :)
@ThorsShadow exactly what I was coming here to recommend 😂
Haggard and many others have done it already but yes, of course!
I'm well aware it's not a new concept. Just want it to be them two is all... 😪
This exists. Theater of tragedy and draconian are two bands that do this and I love em. Check out theaters old stuff. There new stuff sucks and no metal vocals. Or any draconian song.
I've been impatiently waiting for Elizabeth to finally hear Sleep Token. They're overwhelmingly amazing. Every...single...song. Vessel is one of my favorite vocalists of all time, his range and expression are among the very best. And the drummer, II, is just...inhumanly talented. I could go on and on but I'll just wait for the inevitable CV Sleep Token journey. Just pick a song and you'll fall in love.
And I'm so glad Will joined her for this one. For those who don't know, his vocal cover of Chokehold is magnificent.
I gotta ask, if you ever think you know who Vessel is, don't tell anyone. The band's commitment to anonymity is integral to their art form. I'm definitely curious but I'd honestly rather not know, and I think a lot of fans feel the same.
,,
Are you sure you don't want to know who it is? 🤔
@@bigl0892 Absolutely. At least until the band explicitly decides to make it known.
@@modredastal1644 but his other music is pretty unknown but so amazing.
I wanna know! Lol
@@indigo_tribe That's fair. If I find out it's not the end of the world but I'm impressed by their commitment to the bit.
I love how Will is so humble about other vocalists skills. Especially considering he is one of the best metal singers alive right now. Will can even sing too. Like damn good clean singing. Will is one of the maybe 3 "celebrities" that I would love to actually hang out with and talk music, especially since I'm finally learning how to sing and scream.
She's annoying as hell
I resonate with Will's fangirling on a spiritual level 🤣
"So smooth! He is killing it right now!" Oddly this is what I think wen listening to Will's cover of "Chokehold"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US???" And oatmeal was just ejected from my nasal cavity onto my keyboard. It's so fulfilling watching two repected professionals of different music genres (though I think we can safely say at this point that we've brought her over to the Dark Side) who appear to be kindred souls appreciate another professional artists work.
I “found” Sleep Token only about a month before this song was released… I’ve never heard a band change genres 5 times in a single song before… time signatures, yes, but GENRES?? Love it!
Listen to their first 2 albums sundowning and this place will become your tomb you'll hear those genres changes
Have you ever hear of Kim Dracula?..one song will change genres 10 times in 4 minutes
I mean listen to between the buried and me lol
2 completely polar opposite types of singers just chilling and admiring music. Such a cool analysis, Will is such a fun dude to watch.
I love Will's boxing-doggy-paddle dance moves or whatever that is
Edit: Also I love how Will is a deathcore vocalist who can make the most demonic sounds perceivable to the human brain and looks so serious in music videos but then IRL he's like the cutest human being ever
for real tho, I showed my girl the video they did with the throat camera and her reaction was basically, "those sounds come from that happy little guy?" and i thought that is basically the perfect way to sum it up
You should hear his cover of chokehold his clean vocals are fantastic also.
@@TexasChodeHouse87 Oh I've heard it lol dw
@TexasChoadHouse69 dude fr, I terribly want him to use his clean vocals more often. The dude is just so insanely talented it's unreal!
dude can legit sing too check out his Sleep token covers!
I can’t wait for Elizabeth to fall in love with Vessel’s voice like the rest of us 🥰🤘🏻
Worship 😇
It's so delicious
I kept asking for this song, and was getting butt hurt that it wasn’t happening. This is such an unexpectedly amazing treat. As the old saying goes, good things happen to those who wait. I also absolutely love how this friendship between Elizabeth and Will has blossomed, so wholesome!
I'm positive that this collab had to be in the works and was just a matter of timing for them to be together in person.
Cool song, like Katatonia to a 40K backdrop.
To me it's weird that The Summoning is the one getting all they hype when personally I think that Vore is an objectively better song. I suppose it was uploaded a couple of months before Vore though so hey ho.
At 31:45 I knew she wasn't ready, but the reaction was priceless. This song is one of a kind, and can mean alot of different things to different ppl. It's therapeutic to me, to others it's the unofficial bedroom anthem of 2023. The list goes on.
I’m so jealous of these two becoming besties!! I also adore how much of a fan girl Will is for Sleep Token!
The look on Will's face when Elizabeth starts talking about it being almost jazzy is just full of "oh you have no idea".
Elizabeth's description of the solo "bubbling over" is honestly also a really good visual description for the progression.
Edit: that whole portal-tangent was the cutest
Describing Vessel’s voice as breathy and ghostly is so spot on. Cheers!
I love that Revolver mentionned Elizabeth's channel and quoted Will's analysis on their last article on Sleep Token, Will's undying love for Vessel's voice is now recorded for the posterity :D
That’s incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Why is Will literally me whenever I try to show my friends music? It's the same energy, I swear!
SAAAAME
I love seeing Will geek out over this song. so refreshing seeing other musicians appreciated others art. Great stuff.
YESSS, FINALLYYYYYY,
SLEEP TOKEN IS GETTING THE ATTENTION THEY DESERVE
i don’t really watch reaction videos that often, but i was literally smiling ear to ear the entire time watching you two absolutely dork out over this song. it also gave me a lot to think about as a musician. i practice intentional listening, but it’s always fun and super informative to get the perspective of other musicians on music that inspires you. thank y’all so much for this video!
I’m only 5 minutes in and I’m smiling so much just from Wills genuine respect and her impeccable ear for totally intimate vocal moments…and how much FUN they’re both having. Thank you!
right
Absolutely loved this. Will giving his perspective as a fan and as a metal/harsh vocalist balanced with Elizabeth's knowledge and experience was so great. Also, it seems like they are genuinely friends which makes the back and forth wholesome
Also I’m sure you know Will has some great cleans
I've been watching charismatic voice for years. Seeing the relationship with Will grow has been so unexpected. The duo we never knew we needed.
I love how he's a total sweet heart and then he sings into the hellfire 😂
I would genuinely watch you guys do a 6+ hour reaction to the entire album when it comes out.
thinking about vessels grunts, moans, and breathy notes as adlibs is soo on point
BEST. Reaction. Ever. 🖤 But way too short! I love how Will is totally into ST and gets so excited. I've been obsessed with them ever since I discovered them a few months ago. PLEASE do more ST reactions, you will not be sorry. Every song is a masterpiece and Vessel's voice and breathing and control are incredible.
This was only a trailer. The full video comes out Friday, and is 45 minutes long.
@@kirkmccune7944 I know. 35 hours to go. The trailer was still too short though! 🤣
Elizabeth's reaction and Will's enthusiasm fused to form the purest song analysis in the known universe 😍
Sleep Token is beyond a fantastic band!! Absolutely love them!
Will seems like such an accesible rock star. Would love to hang out one afternoon and just pick his brain on music. Loved this.
"You offered me chicken nuggets and gave me bacon." LMFAO you need to have Will on more often! As much as I love the solo commentary, having a co-host really elevates it
Seeing Will fangirl for Vessel is absolutely epic. I love it!
"This is my favorite part...for the next 6 minutes" Will is awesome. Hanging out with these two would be a blast!
This isn’t the team-up we deserve, but it’s the one we all needed. You 2 are awesome together.
Will is such a king working with so many people! His energy is a vibe. Sounds like a demon from the pits of purgatory, is an actual teddybear lol.
Elizabeth: reacting and analysing the song
Will: Pure fan boy mode
You two need to do a song together. Lorna shore and Elizabeth doing opera vocals would be out of this world. Cant wait to see lorna shore for first time in Toronto this Aug.
dimmu Borgir but core 😂🤣
I now understand the hype of Sleep Token. That was just wow 🤯
Also, I never thought I’d see someone get more excited than Elizabeth about a song but Will is just bouncing all over the place loving every second of the song. It’s so awesome 🤘
Both of you give immense sibling vibes! I dont know if its the eyes or your lips, I just cant unsee it.
Its like watching a "Sibling's React" video. you're the traditional elder sister from Juilliard, and Will is the black sheep metal kicking dropout BUT lovable brother, and both of you finally came to a point in your lives where you can finally connect with him by listening to a metal track that has these traditional elements (Jazz, funk, etc.). And you can see he's so stoked to share this with her and she's just gushing over his adorable banging & kicking, its.. wholesome?
I love the big sister little brother interaction they naturally emit 😂😂 it goes to show that when people who are passionate about something get together there's natural chemistry that surfaces. There should be a channel with both of them analyzing/reacting to music and singers. The Eli and Will Show lol or The Metal Opera House Channel 🔥🔥 fav channel for sure 💯💯
People who know this song are waiting for her to hear the end. What a switch-up, Vessel is unique in such a good way.
THIS IS SO WHOLESOME 😭😭😭😭 I want to see an Elizabeth and Will sitcom 😂😂😂
Charismatic F.R.I.E.N.D.S
@@hurlbag559 oh my goodness.....yes please 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elizabeth could so be Will's sister in a sitcom
@@MasterIceyy oh absolutely 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly a series about an opera singer and metal singer who are roommates would be great.
The fact that they are like friends who hang out and collab just fits perfect, the world didn’t make sense until this happened. I don’t even really mess with Lorna shore, but will is like one of my favorite musicians/people.
I studied as an opera student for many years and I SO APPRECIATE THIS WOMAN’S EXPERTISE focusing on what Vessel is doing vocally. I know people get it, he’s really good. But as a vocalist, I’m always thinking critics of this band don’t know HOW GOOD! All the transitions he pulls of with his voice are INSANE and difficult.
So...will you be doing reaction videos to Elizabeth singing?
Also - Miracle of Sound, "Purest Gold". Thank me later.
I want an entire series of Will fan girling over different sleep token songs. This is my favorite video you've ever done.
There is no friendship in the entire world that could make me smile as big as THIS! The most wholesome and beautiful thing ever. Every video with Elizabeth and Will just makes me so ridiculously happy 💜
You two have CLEARLY hacked in to the algorithm because you are such a delightful contrast of personalities sharing their love for music and vocal prowess, the result is just… refreshing as f*** 😊
