NikNoc 1st Era - A guitar cover before the song releases 2nd Era - Reaction video 3rd Era - the music making Era Dude becoming A divine creature little by little

At this point nik is a one man band better than most actual bands

I love hearing people hype the drummer. I feel like he doesn't get mentioned much, but he is ALWAYS going so fucking hard

holy hell, man. what a journey this song is. You're absolutely killing it.

Bro, so happy you decided to go on this creative journey of making more music instead of just reacting to it!

The vocalist is what Vessel sounds like to non Sleep Token fans.

After Sleep Token’s new album this song needs an R&B/Hip-Hop section and it’s perfect

So happy to see you succeed man. You deserve every bit of it. 500k listeners on Spotify is absolutely fking insane for a metal RU-vidr and I'm here for it.

Their drummer is a monster. So tight! Completely underrated.

Love it. You know what’s crazy is I’m actually getting like a Thornhill meets Sleep Token vibe. “Thorn Token” as it were. This slaps.

The song itself is class. Not the biggest fan of the vocals, but I'll still be streaming it. Awesome work as always!

This is the greatest era this channel has seen by far. New banger every 3 days. What a time to be alive.

I mean you easily understand what vessel is saying at all times. I couldnt understand a single world this dude was saying 😅 Killer riffs tho

The true test of a Sleep Token song is how many articles of clothing you're wearing by the end, and I'm down to half a sock so I say success!

Well fucking done, Nik. Sleep Token has to be one of the hardest bands to make an 'in the style of=' song of because they're so weirdly unique and you can listen to 5 songs and hear so many different things so it's hard to pin them into a single genre never mind one specific style (which is part of what makes them so fun to listen to) but you nailed it.

For some reason I was hoping for Will for the vocals. His covers are out of this world.

Gonna need a how to write an electric callboy song soon mate!

This sounds like Thornhill way more than Sleep token. Amazing job again.

Sleep Token collab with deaftones would be an absolute masterpiece

Nik, you've done it again and have written a banger. Definitely has that Sleep Token vibe. Always a blast watching you create these songs, in a few hours, from scratch. Your instrumentals are so good! 🖤

The new style of content is amazing. Loving the shift you made man. Keep it up!

You guys really got the style! But this also shows how good ST actually is at what they do.

It was a extremely good song, but hearing the lyrics for this was extremely difficult because of the reverb/delay. BUT THIS WAS A FREAKING BANGER!

this gave me thornhill vibes way more than sleeptoken but still fucking sick

Ohhhh myyyyy...that vocals, I`m dying. All the small things just blended perfectly in this masterpiece!

The funniest part of this whole thing to me is knowing that through all the headbanging the mask is only attached with a piece of ductape to your forehead😂😂

Nik is making me discover so many new to me metal bands through these videos. I love it.

So hyped to see them in a week or three on Graspop MetalMeeting here in Belgium. It's going to be an amazing offering. Thanks for this early treat.

uh oh i think you made a How To ‘The Dark Pool by Thornhill’ instead😂😂🔥🔥

I agree with Alexander man I've watched him do a couple of these now and it's legit amazing to watch the process and hearing the end result. Really badass Nik keep it up bro Core Kid for life!!

Dude, this might be my most favorite one yet. This was beautifully done. Can't wait for volume 2. Also, can't wait for videos of you reacting to other reactors reacting to your how to songs 😅😅

Missed opportunity not having Will Ramos on the vocals. Stylistically the track nails sleep token, but it feels more rushed than your other adaptations. In reality, that doesn't mean this track is bad, it just shows how high of a bar you have set with what began as a meme, and turned into something quite special and a joy to witness. Good job Nik. Keep going. I'd love to hear some more of your own compositions in the future.

Holy shit I wish this showed up on my recommended. I had to manually find it after hearing it on the Album. You're amazing and thank you for introducing me to new bands and talents!

Also you're soooo close to 1m followers, hope you hit it soon; deserved once it happens, inevitably

No disrespect to Cameron, he sounds great, but it doesnt hit that sleep token sound, Honestly though, that just shows how dam unique and powerful their vocals are.

ii works so well with vessel...ii drums even/especially when he isn't drumming, composed restraint is just an extended atmospheric build up/expansion of space. ii and vessel could be asleep and they're still drumming/singing to me it's all part of their music eventually lmao. the vocals and jazzy bits here have me dying of lol though. the editing only seems 'rushed' since you spent 2 hours programming ii replicant drums, the editing feels like you just wanna be done with it lol. this makes me appreciate them and you more

I love how he’s not really saying anything. Fuckin dyin. This song rips though. I aspire to be this creative on demand

that was sick, ngl. kinda of ST vibe inside it. Great job Nik! love it

Dude....I always felt me being a one man band had it's limits, but dang, do you inspire me to do so, so much better.

With the unintelligible vocals, the verse honestly sounds like you asked AI to make a sleep token song.

I caught this stream live, it's so fun watching it go from nothing to finished.

Well, again, Nik nails it! That was awesome.🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘 Kudos to Mrs. Nocturnal for the DIY.👍👍

can you do a tutorial on writing midi drums? Your patterns are so sick!

Truth be told. I watch your videos so I can dream of bein' as talented as you are . Not even mentioning vocalists that you're workin' with.

i love this. the whole idea. you're on a next level.

Dude… this actually might be one of my fav things You‘ve done so far 😂👍🏼

This shows you that Sleep Token isn't just the sum of its parts. Theres alot missing here.

I love these, but honestly, I'm waiting for the real band to cover it that would be awsome

Nek all your songs have been on repeat for me. All been ao good

This man dropping more bangers than anyone else rn. Also, when are we getting a new Termina track? Keep up the amazing work, Nik!

When you first started to play the keys I was like: " Wait... A martian winter?". Nik turned into Angel Vivaldi? xD

man this sounds huge! what drum library did you use for the drums?

Thank you nick ! You are the talent !

Dude, this slaps hard. Great track!

At this point Nik should be a producer

praying he does how to northlane next

This is absolutely hilarious. Just a 10/10 all the way around. I love it.

Dude´s wearing a Meshuggah shirt and sings like an angel. Amazeballs! And Nic, your drum programming is fantastic, dont beat yourself up man!

Seriously so good!! How do you come up with the lyrics??

The vocals totally missed the mark, but the song itself is pretty good and has some Sleep Token vibes.

you are a complete epic musician, i respect you

what most people dont realize, is that all these songs make for the best gym playlist ever.

I hated this as a Sleep Token song, but love this as a Deftones song. Vessel's voice is borderline inimitable, and so much of ST relies on his performance. This was fun tho!

Would love a How to Babymetal

I just can't not headbang to this, it's so good.

I'm not gonna lie here, I was skeptic going into this, but 10/10 would listen again.

I'm not sure how hard it is for you to find vocalists to collab with you for these but you ought to give Chris Liepe a shout sometime. I'd imagine that guy can probably do anything. Matt Heafy would probably also be down to sing on anything, he seems like he just loves doing music with anyone and everyone.

Would have expected Will Ramos as the vocalist on this one

Cameron is a BEAST! his vocals get better every time he sings!

Proud of you Nik. Follow what calls you, it won't go wrong ❤

Forgot I was watching a video tbh I just started vibing and then heard Nik speak again

No creo que alguien llegue a leer y entender mi comentario, pero amaria que algun dia una de las bandas encontraron la canción que Nicolas nocturno les hizo, y el vocalista la cante en redes sociales al menos jajaja

How to Periphery in 30 seconds 👀

You nailed this! Sick song man.

I never thought I'd be able to fall asleep to the low pitch of a guitar... That's cool!!!

Yeah, it's not easy singing Vessel, which he proved

Cameron still sounds like Chino even when trying to sound like Vessel idk

this shit its OFF the charts, this sounds so COOL dude.. i love it.

OK but this is actually good? Nik what have you done... I came here for the memes and now I'm watching the second half of this video on repeat

Instrumental is good , but trying emulating vessels vocals - is very hard thing to do

Your videos are a gem as soon as I'm going to watch the video and I know it's going to be good. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🤟 Y reacts to the Seventy Thorns song by Kim Dracula and Jonathan Davis

Nik is a simply fkn amazing ... Youre the man dude. Ever in Philly beers are on me 🤘🏻

II is an absolute beast of a drummer. Probably my all time favorite actually.

I really need to hear a How to Born of Osiris very soon please

I don’t think you hit the Sleep Token mark, but it still sounds really good.

man im so sorry i havent watched in so long, i literally found sleep token not long ago and your video arose from the playlist. Im sitting here wondering how would u put a tune like theres together and here your doing it.. absolutely nailled it with the jazz part in the middle i couldnt help but laugh my ass off with you.. \m/.

I love those writing (in the style of) videos! Keep up the good work🤘

Nik Token

This is the heaviest Sleep Token song I've ever heard.

As an old school metal head. I’m loving the vibe your bringing. Love the Sam smith unholy. That’s a tune I’d blast driving down by the shore

Lovely😍😍😍... Your talent is in another level.... Worship

"We have Sleep Token at home" (I feel like everyone has made this joke about all the videos in this series, yeah?)

Amazing song Nik, the album you made was awesome and I can't wait for volume 2. Cameron does an amazing job doing Vessel's vocals for this song. Now I have some ideas you can do, you don't have to do them if you want but I hope you do.... 1. How to "Metal Hellsinger" in 30 seconds (for vocals, any vocalist will do) 2. How to "Ice Nine Kills" in 30 seconds (for vocals, I really don't know anyone for Spencer) 3. How to "Black Veil Brides" in 30 seconds (Get Andy Biersack on, if you can) 4. How to "Motionless in White" in 30 seconds (Get Chris Motionless on, if you can) 5. How to "Linkin Park" in 30 seconds (Get Danny from From Ashes to New on it) 6. How to "Ghost" in 30 seconds (I don't know who would do Tobias's vocals) 7. How to "Trivium" in 30 seconds (Get Matt Heafy on, if you can) 8. How to "Disturbed" in 30 seconds (Don't know anyone for David) 9. How to "Arch Enemy" in 30 seconds (Get Alissa on, if you can) 10. How to "Dayseeker" in 30 seconds (Get Rory on, if you can)

dude this is fucking sick. You're a beast

got some ‘the offering’ vibes from this. and i ain’t complaining.

This is fucking hilarious why does it slap so hard omg

*Instrumental is a banger, but those vocals..... Icky. Bad. Stinky. Don't.*

This is why Nik is famous, the real deal, Nik knows music. These guys nailed it, really good for an improv Sleep Tokenesque track.

This is a helluva banger!
