IT'S JUST SOO CHOPPY!!! | Sleep Token - The Summoning | REACTION 

Please go down the rabbit hole! You won’t regret it!

The whole album is a masterpiece front to back. Worship

Thanks for reacting to another of my favourite bands. I've been listening to Sleep Token since about 2018 when I came across their song Jaws. This latest album, Take Me Back To Eden, is the conclusion of a trilogy of albums that began back in 2019 with their debut album Sundowning. It has been quite the journey, and I am so glad that they are finally getting the attention they deserve! Sleep Token is a British rock band from London, formed in 2016. The group are an anonymous, masked collective led by a frontman using the moniker Vessel. They have been categorised under many different genres, including alternative metal, post-rock/metal, progressive metal and indie rock/pop. Officially, Sleep Token only consists of 2 members, Vessel and II (Roman number 2). Vessel performs all the vocals and plays all the instruments except for drums and percussion played by II. For live performances they are joined by III (bass) and IV (guitar) and sometimes 3 female backing singers. The lore behind Sleep Token is very deep but simply put: Vessel was visited in a dream by an ancient deity identified as "Sleep" (actual name is too complex for modern language). This deity promised Vessel succcess if they followed their instructions. This relationship between Vessel and Sleep appears to be very toxic and as the only way Vessel can access Sleep is through dreams, he therefore also has an intense relationship with actual sleeping! Sleep Token is Vessel's attempt to worship this deity by offerings of songs. Hence the name of the band conveys that everything they do is a token to Sleep. Even though every song is about this relationship with Sleep, the genius of Vessel in his lyrics means one can always interpret them and apply them to one's own personal experience with bad, toxic or failed relationships. Hope this long message sheds some light on who Sleep Token are as a band. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

Sev, I cannot express to you how excited I am that you've FINALLY found Sleep Token. They are going to become your next favorite band - that's a promise. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to go in with zero expectations on each song, and just experience it. Start with their EPs, then listen to Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb, and then Take Me Back To Eden. They've been genre bending since the start, and no one does it better - almost no misses in their entire discography.

I just discovered this band about two weeks ago because of a reaction channel!! I’m so thankful

the entire album 'Take Me Back To Eden' for this English band, man is soo damn good. Alkaline, another good song! Sooo many good songs dammit!!🤘🏾 WORSHIP🤘🏽

I’m so so so glad you finally got to my favorite band! Thank you, my friend! Listen to the entire album. It’s a true masterpiece! Worship!

I discovered Sleep Token like you Listened to The Summoning My mind was absolutely blown Then I heard the entire album Take Me Back To Eden and immediately went back to their first album Sundowning and then their second album This Place Will Become Your Tomb. Now I’m a full fledged fanatic and this band is on my playlist every single day. WORSHIP 🙌🏻 welcome to Sleep Token

These guys really make me want to break down and order that 8 string Strandberg I've been lusting after.

My man…KEEP GOING! You won’t get a song like this every time but you will love them. Promise you. You keep rhythm really well so I have a feeling you’ll vibe along with their stuff.

Who else is obsessed with the guitar riffs in this song? I now think you'll love Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song 🔥 Do a reaction video for it!

Glad you checked this amazing band out! This is a wonderful rabbit hole!!!! Great reaction!

If you decide to take the Sleep token journey, you will not be disappointed. They are one of the very best to do it right now.

We discovered them at the same time, just bought my first espresso machine and grinder also and now drink straight black dbl espressos daily, if ever in California, let's have some coffee and jam Sleep Token haha.

Yesss!! Thanks Sev!! 🙌

I saved this reaction for last. It was the first song i heard also. Now ive seen all your ST reactions so I'll be moving into others on your channel.

I also think you’ll love everything they’ve ever done. But particularly choppy classics are: Thread the Needle, The Offering, Gods, Like That, High Water, and Ascensionism. Would love to see you react to any/all of these!

Yessssss!!! Choppy indeed and funky 😝

Emotional Journey that's whats going on my friend. We need more lol.

They played Metro Theater here in Sydney back in April, it was amazing!

Great reaction. All their songs are awesome! Theyre becomming everyone i know's favorite band. Rightly so

Who are they? Nobody knows. What genre is it? Who cares. Somehow they are my favorite band right now, they sound incredible. Love Team Choppy Drops, I’m on board bro!

effing loved this so much. gold tier and super unique. so glad I came across this video. 🤘

Btw I can't wait to see your genuine reaction to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song 🤘

welcome to sleep token's world. worship! :D

Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden

The sheer intensity and energy in their music is mind-b. One request. React to End Up Dead by Nick Thurl Mavromatis 😍

I love me some sleep token 🎶🔥💫😉✌🏽

Honestly before finishing the new album i would highly recommend going back to the previous two. It's a trilogy anf there's quite a few callbacks. They've also got a couple covers that are definitely worth checking out as well. "I wanna dance with somebody" and "Hey Ya!"

New sub to ur channel! Great reaction. This album is the last in the trilogy and it’s genre blending greatness. They broke the mold with this album imo. UK band that dresses up in full masks. No names but singer is vessel, drummer and other guitarists go by numbers. It’s like a huge fantasy concept album about love when you read the lyrics. Had a dream about a “god of sleep” and made a whole band around it.

😍 Sleep Token

What a Banger 🤟🔥🤟

Im so happy you did a reaction to this band you’re gonna love definitely ascensionism

They’re playing the crap out of this on Liquid Metal. Must be good.

would love to see you check out some more big metalcore bands like Invent Animate whithout a whisper, make them suffer ghost of me, Currents remember me, so alone, spiritbox, bring me the horizon etc.

yesssss moarrrrr

This whole album is a wild turn

My favorite band. Do yourself a favor and listen to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song. React to it, please 🤘

Ok check out Falling in Reverse CHAMPION Please 🙏

if you go down this rabbit hole - just note every single is extremely different. there are no genres. glhf enjoy

Architects - Naysayer!Lets GO!

It's a good bet that a lot of women watch Sleep Token vids in their undies, too. Just sayin.

If you want heavy guitars and good clean vocals look no further than Tesseract, particularly their Altered State album

"it's so choppy." -- ? -- "Choppy" is a negative term denoting that something doesn't flow as it should, is badly broken up, and disrupted. Are you saying that the song is horrible, then?

"It sounds... So good". Summed it up pretty well there, ey?
