This is how it starts... You stumble across Sleep Token, hear a song, like it, then check out more of their music, and BOOM!!! You're obsessed (like the rest of us).
It was not by accident you found Sleep Token. It was Devine intervention 😅. This band is quite possibly the best band I've ever heard. Definitely in my top 3 of all time. New subscription here. Im down for any and all Sleep Token reactions. Definitely worth a dive into. Glad you found greatness! ❤ Worship ❤
If you liked this you should check out Ascensionism. One of the most creative and amazing songs ever written. And you'll have a bunch of people watching your reaction
If you enjoy weird shirt and acts not afraid to blend and explore genres these are the guys. They have songs that explore Jazz, songs that explore trap, , Songs that explore R&B and Funk. Very talented group. I would recommend Accessionism. My personal favorite
Brooo...my intro to them was the Summoning and I was hooked. But check out Take Me Back To Eden. That song is similar to The Summoning as far as the inclusion of other genres, but TMBTE is a beautiful experience. Not a song, experience.
This is how they get you. I found a clip of Alkaline from a live performance, 12 seconds long, and then had to check it out. Full year later I own too much merch to even talk about and went to their Massachusetts show to see them live.
A little introduction to Sleep Token: Sleep Token are a British band from London, formed in 2016. The group are an anonymous, masked collective led by a frontman using the name Vessel(the lead singer and primary songwriter of the band.) Vessel and ii(the drummer)are the only members of the band who have been credited as performers on Sleep Token's studio albums. ii is also the only member apart from Vessel who has been given songwriting credits. There are two more members that play bass(iii) and guitar(iv) when Sleep Token preforms live, and a few women who do live backing vocals known as the ’Vesselettes’ (hope I wrote that correctly). They don’t really fit into any genre… As for the lore, the band worships a deity by the name of Sleep, who is essentially omnipotent, everywhere at all times. Vessel discovered Sleep in a dream being promised magnificence in return for Vessel becoming a follower. Sleep Token’s songs are offerings to Sleep and depict Vessel’s relationship with them.
Ascensionism should be next. You should save Take Me Back To Eden, and Euclid as the very last Sleep Token songs you listen to, otherwise a lot of their payoff will be lost on you.
Reggae might be the only genre Sleep Token doesn't dabble in. Legitimately a genre defying group. Check out The Summoning, Ascensionism or Bloodsport (from the room below) to be impressed and surprised. Also, for something completely different but of reggae origin, check out Allen Stone - Is this Love live from Bonnaroo. He covers the Bob Marley hit in a completely original fashion and nails it.
Sleep token has quickly become one of my favorite bands. I love their stuff, they are so far beyond any single genre. they blend so many different sounds and every song ends too quickly... even when they are 8 minutes long. Check out Ascensionism, The Summoning, The Apparition, Granite... basically the entire Take Me Back to Eden album
They have no genre and cover it all!! If you want more of a R&B feel try Acensionsim, Dark Signs, Granite, Aqua Regia, Give, Descending. Or more heavy with Hypnosis, The Offering, Rain, Gods, HIgh Water, or Higher
I like you, you have common sebse, if the box moves, im outta there, hazmat suits with no gloves and a Metallica hoodie, ive been a fan since the mid-80's. Now you stumble onto Sleep Token. I agree you should check out The Summoning. Have fun.
