REACTING to SLEEP TOKEN (The Summoning) 🙌🤯👊 

"They are, in a short period of time, creating and advertising the size of the auditory room they're about to walk into; and they proceed to fill it with violence, emotion" I absolutely love the way you said that. 👏👏

I saw Sleep Token live yesterday (setlist: Chokehold, Alkaline, Hypnosis, The Love You Want, Higher, The Offering) and they are SO commanding on stage. Not a word spoken between songs and a completely enthralled audience. The ambience they manage to create is amazing, and they're such technically solid musicians! Can't wait to see the Summoning live one day.

Never thought I'd call a reaction video poetic. You somehow manage to do that every time. Have a damn good day too.

For any band, this could be a fitting and wonderful final form. But they're just getting started. This is two singles into album three, y'all. We're watching the start of their ascension, not the peak. Truly special.

"it's limitless, you can't see the corners, they will, in some way after this, show you how to touch the ceiling" what a fantastic analogy!! #WORSHIP

Thank you so much for the shout out!!. I really appreciate you dude! As for your reaction I absolutely loved it and I cannot agree more that "we are not longer listening to Sleep Token we are experiencing them" So powerful. I absolutely love that. They are really evolving and how they aren't bigger already is just wrong. I do think that this year they are going to absolutely explode and will be doing truly huge tours. Sleep Token are a band I would prefer to see in a much smaller venue for the intimacy but they will absolutely destroy arenas.

Thanks to reaction channels, Noah Sebastian from Bad Omens saying how much he loves Sleep Token and Will Ramos covering their song Hypnosis I finally gave them a chance and I’m glad I did. Love this 🖤

Technical breakdowns aside, I can't explain the serotonin boost I get when a smile breaks out on your face. It's so genuine and you can tell that you just love the sounds you're hearing. It's that impactful moment when you come to the realization that "ok, I love this song". I watch just for that reaction.

The way you react to sound is absolute bliss! Never thought I'd be so captivated by someones reaction... Keep up the good work!

Chase. How do you do it?! How you hear so much so quickly, all of the intricacies, and can then so eloquently and clearly explain those to us, baffles me. You have an incredible ear, and musical mind. You point out things I hadn’t heard in 20 listens of the song! You are a joy to watch and so informative. Not to mention the enjoyment I get seeing you react just as I did! Much love to you brother ❤

"...And afterwards, they will show you how to touch the ceiling." My man, you're a poet. Especially knowing what comes next.

Older fans such as yourself can truly appreciate the little things, like the heavy scream, the guitar solo. New fans are in for an awesome journey with Sleep Token. Like you said sleep Token will put you in a dark room where you can’t see the walls. But this time the house lights turned on and you find yourself in a beautiful jazz night club. Amazing song… for me, the best one yet!!!

Sleep token are masters of sound design and song structure. The engineer on this is awesome also. The chunk in the metal part is amazing too. Worship. 🤘.

I'm ecstatic. I've been looking forward to your reaction since it dropped! I hope they get to see how you appreciate their music. I dont think that appreciation and gratitude could be portrayed any purer or more genuinely and be taken more to heart by an artist. And I love what you said about them cresting a room. The only word that came to mind when hearing this song was "expansive". It felt like so much space but that they and I and we were growing outward. Like the way the universe is constantly expanding. Expansive in that they were trying new things and building on what they already do so well. Emotionally just...more. not overwhelmingly so. Euphorically so. It's like when you love someone and they do something that makes your heart overflow with gratitude and love and appreciation. An overflow of euphoria. And it doesn't "pull back" so much as it just changes to something more digestible. Like dreaming.

I love how this song encapulates the road of discovery and evolution that Sleep Token is on. Everytime I think that I figured them out they put out something like this that throws me off guard really hard, in the best way possible. The skills of these guys is amazing and just keeps getting better and better, with more and more techniques. For example Vessels screams now, on top of being a better singer then a few years ago. I really wonder where this group is going to end. They deserve to be the next big thing.

Sleep Token are amazing storytellers. They have some much atmospheric elements at the beginning that makes you feel like you are maybe performing a "summoning" of some kind. And when the band does kick in, you feel off kilter and trying to find your footing. Like you feel that up and down of emotions and anxiety and then the end is not what you expect. You think they are going to do that thing where they drop that heavy beat back in, but they just give you a groove that is just so unexpected. It's fantastic. like always, a great video! HADGD!

Can't wait to see your reaction dude! I love the way you love good music and can see the nuance and all the aspects of it ❤️

I've been binging reactions for a few months now, and I can honestly say without a doubt that your Sleep Token reactions are ...poetic? Can't put a word to it. It helps me to hear music in a whole new way! *Almost* like I've never heard the song before! Thank you!

Hearing Chase talk about not quite filling the room, and more coming later, at the first chorus is spot on. The second chorus doesn’t just fill the room, it blows the walls of the room clean off

Sleep Token doesn’t miss. I can’t even say “I don’t know how they don’t miss” because it’s very clear why they haven’t. Such a talented group of musicians just making…beauty. They continue to evolve and I canNOT wait to see how they grow with their next release.

just wanted to say that we experience music physically in a very similar way and it's so cool that someone else feels and emotes the sounds same way I do, I love how you fully immerse yourself into what you're listening and you don't worry about performing in a "typical" reacter way

Don't sell yourself short, Chase, some of us were introduced to Sleep Token through your reactions, so thank you as well as the people that recommended them to you, and so on down the chain. That's my second favourite reason for why reaction channels should not be so easily denigrated. Great reaction as always! On that note, that part where you were talking touching the ceiling, that twinkling bit of piano in there felt more to me like they were showing us the ceiling before touching it, like burning embers in the air or something. Love it.

Revisiting this one. I truly love your dissection of music

I only found ST a few months ago, about the time this song was released, so I didn't get to live the whole experience of followijg their journey. But I found your channel and I was able to experience that journey with you by watching your old ST videos. I greatly appreciate it!

I was holding my breath waiting for those last two minutes to see your reaction. I knew you’d go crazy 😂

Great to see another reaction from you! Your reactions to Sleep Token are the best because you don't just bob your head and give some pros and cons, you actually appreciate the music and the artistic vision behind it.

Lol I posted on a 2 year old video of yours that this is my new favorite react channel and it is 100000000000% my favorite react channel. Dude I love your energy and excitement and how connected you are. Keep it up brother. I hope your channel explodes !

It's because of your channel that I even know about Sleep Token, let alone appreciate them even a fraction as much as they deserve. I love this song, it goes from heavy/angst/unsure feeling building up to an unexpected confidence/swagger, and I love it. So thank you, Chase, for introducing me to yet another amazing band. I happened to see they're touring relatively nearby this month, and I knew I had to jump on the chance to see them live; I cannot wait - they seem a band that's meant to be most appreciated live.

There are so many moments in this song that on the first listen, you think they are going to do one thing and you were excited for it coming up, but then they do something different. That can be risky to do because that can be disappointing. But in this case, it ends up being a continual delightful surprise. I have found that in repeat lessons, there are some really subtle foreshadows of some of the unexpected turns before they actually happen (solo, breakdown, funk,etc)Interesting that it is so carefully planned out like you said. Definitely my new favorite song from them.

I really like concept you mentioned on how the band are basically creating and walking you into a "room" with the song. The structure, technicality and seamless genre bending really makes the ceiling feel massive and shows the range these guys are capable of. They nailed it perfectly with that ambient synth section, it built suspense and where a lot of people might have expected either a slow fade out or a gut wrenching breakdown, they did neither and threw in something new and unique and it still somehow fits perfectly. Looking forward to whatever Sleep Token have in store for us this year

This was a JOURNEY, for sure. Very rarely does music speak to me on such a deep level, and this song is definitely up there on the top of my list. I can't get enough of it. These guys are phenomenal. EDIT: I love seeing the reactions of longer time fans of Sleep Token. You can tell the impact in how much they can do in their faces. When that scream came in, your expression just shows how good they are, and how much more they can grow.

I've watched so many reaction videos - but your description of the song was a truly resonates with the song to a T. Eloquently put - so excited to see what else Sleep Token has in store for us to experience.

As soon as this and Chokehold came out, my second thought after "holy shit everything else has to stop until I listen to these", was "I can't wait to watch Chase's reaction to these!" Enjoy chokehold, man. They're both awesome in their own way! And thank you for your videos, as well as your unique perspective. I watch all of them, and I relate to you the most out of all of the people who do reaction videos to music.

I laughed out loud when you said "After this... They'll show you how to touch the ceiling" It's such a perfect way to describe what they've done, and how they got there. It's as if they went "ok, so we made it heavy: can't really go heavier. Is there a different way for us to fill the room? How about making it as dense and lush as possible with brass and groove and synth and dynamics instead?" Utterly brilliant analysis from start to finish.

I love watching your reactions and your absolute passion for the magic of music! Sleep Token are transcendent. Worship 🖤

As soon as you mentioned how you knew they foreshadow in the start and draw on it throughout, I went holy shit I get it now - I get why it tickles my brain so good. My brain saw the pattern, but I didn't. Every section feels so good in a different area of my music taste.

The way you explain things, especially them makes me so happy

Seen them live last week and it was hands down the best live performance of any band I have ever seen - and I have seen a lot of bands over the years. Vessel sounds exactly like in the studio live.

I just want to say how enjoyable it is to watch him listen and break down music. Its fascinating an pure. Watching you feel an enjoy this just makes me smile. You get it. Thank you so much sir!!!

I love how much you love this band. I get so excited with every new release. This has been one of my favorite song of theirs. They are in my top 10 favorite bands of the last few years!

Your reviews always leave me with a greater appreciation of the tracks I had already fell in love with prior to watching. Can always greatly appreciate the level of thought and depth you give every track you review.

Observation: spatially, it felt to me that vessel was placed physically right behind me. No matterwhich way I turned. His voice and the keys seemed to originate there, but filled the "room" (I totally agree with your estimation of the space). The last, funky section had so much swagger. Heartfelt, confident and passionate. So. Damn. Good.

Been waiting for this hell yeah.

I asked you a few weeks back on Twitter if you were going to review this one and you told me it was coming soon. It absolutely did. It was me who was unfortunately just now able to get to watching it. You made it well worth the wait. Great review as always! I was anticipating your reaction to that end part and you were just as surprised as the rest of us upon first listen haha

This has to be one of my favorite songs I've ever heard in my lifetime. And I always appreciate it when you break it down because you pick up on things I don't have the ability to yet. Thanks Chase!

i got in to Sleep token because of you! at first i did not "understand" the music, but you have explained the concept of structure and complexity of music in a technical way that clicked in my head

Seeing a new Sleep Token video from you is such a joy. To ride along with someone while they consume a piece of content from something they love with such passion, its a rare thing indeed. Cheers and thank you!

I was waiting to see what you'd have to say about this one my boy. You touched on something I am loving here, for those of us who've been privy to them for a long time, this a whole new level of maturity and no one deserves this attention than the sleepy boys.

26 hours?! Whachu doin!! (also when these dropped my second thought was were you at, Chase)

I had my first experience with Sleep Token through your reaction to Jaws. Needless to say you were my first thought after hearing this masterpiece. Can't wait to watch this. Worship!

So happy you're back on Token. I started experiencing them at the same time as you, and, with you. You're reactions have opened up how I listen to music. Much 🙏. This song hits all the right buttons!!!

As long as you’re doing reactions you’ll always be my 1st stop reaction on YT to anything epic like Sleep Token. Fabulous

My favorite sub genre this year is watching The Summoning reactions 😂

Please watch Drumeo's video of ii playing this. When he plays The Summoning live, he adds a drum solo at the quiet part and its so amazing. He makes it look so easy

This guy is on the musical spectrum. Its awesome😂

Yesss, I have had this on loop all day for the last week. Worship!

Chase I just love your honest reactions! You looked like you were about to fall outta your chair a few times 😆

Yeah!! I was really looking foward to see this reaction on my favorite channels! Can't wait!!

This is probably the best music reaction channel I've watched. Sleep Token is basically all I listen to nowadays so I need them to release more music so you can make more videos for me to watch 😁 love the way you break things down!

It affects me in my core to connect with others like yourself. People who listen and appreciate all the skill and thought that is put into good music. It's one thing to tap your foot and bob your head to a song but is something completely different than those that have the hair standing on their arms and allow them themselves to be transported somewhere else while FEELING the music. You are a treasure, Chase. Thank you, for being you.

You made the right choice picking Chokehold as the one to internalize yourself. I didn’t fall in love with the song until the 3rd or 4th play through, and i have no stopped playing it since then. Absolutely a journey of emotion

I always love your reactions/analysis to these guys, you get as hyped as I do when I first listen to it and I love it. There should be an album coming called Take Me Back To Eden so we're all VERY excited for that! I'm seeing them next Tuesday in Birmingham with some friends so hopefully we hear this one live there, it would be a dream.

Hooray this is the reaction I've been waiting for. Love ya buddy.

I’m def a new fan, heard them Sirius XM last week

Been waiting for you to react, absolutely the most genuine reactions on RU-vid.

Never change Sleep Token… never change! And by that I mean, they should continue doing exactly what they’ve always done and make their music exactly how they want to and keep their ethos exactly how it has always been. Such a special special band man

Chase! The first time I listened to this song, I immediately wished that I could see you react to it. Then I chastised myself for my selfishness, because that would mean that you'd have to wait to hear it. I'm so thankful you were willing to wait, so the rest of us could enjoy this reaction. The Summoning has become my favorite, as well. Worship

Your reaction when the funky electronic section kicked in is everything 🤣 I wish we got a reaction for Chokehold, but either way, enjoy! Cheers brother! WORSHIP

First time I heard of Sleep Token was on your channel, you said they were one of your favourite bands, I can see why now, so different 'out of the box' Nice reaction 👏

before this song came out, i had heard of Sleep Token, but not yet checked them out before, now i'm eager to check their whole discography and hope that more masterpieces like this one are on the way.

The one reaction Ive been waiting for! 🤩🤯

Our boys are have moment right now.. It's beautiful to see!

Been following you since your first reaction to Calcutta back then.. i’ve appreciated watching your journey with Sleep Token while also seeing them continuously evolve and man, could not WAIT to see your reaction dude. Absolute masterclass and i think this is the year they actually have their ‘moment’

This song will go down in history.

Haha. I'm one of those who recently discovered them, can't get enough of them and found your channel as a result. Interesting comments. Very thoughtful reaction. Thank you.

Good to have you back Chase! And what better way with the best band out right now

This is looking like a dark year for me and this music is going to help carry me through.

I don't normally watch reaction videos, but I absolutely love yours. It's like unpacking a song with a good friend who truly appreciates it as well. It's that shared passion and I'm smiling right along with you as we enjoy it. Thank you for these videos!

Seeing the amount of views that Summoning and Chokehold have gained in such a short amount of time compared to previous videos is really exhilarating.

They show you how to touch the ceiling alright. They didn't give any hints that they would do it by shrinking the entire room bringing you into that super intimate funk groove. lol

Sleep Token - Vore. C'mon dude.

Nice! I finally saw them live last week (and on Sunday again!) and they were just as amazing as I hoped

Nobonononnnnonoooo!! Yeah! That’s what we all felt! And then thoroughly enjoyed it!!

"your musical rules aren't welcome here" should be the name of this album 🤣

I really don't mind your pauses and you contribute wonderful points and knowledge. Anyone who thinks Chase pauses too much... This other streamer I just closed couldn't get through 4 bars. Longest I recall counting is 3. Imagine a pause every 3 bars in that guitar solo. Thank you Chase for paying attention to the ending of a phrase to pause. I know it may sometimes pause before a great transition out that you can't have known about, but Chase lets the damn section breathe.

Worship

Chase : "They will show you how to touch the ceiling" Sleep Token : Shows you how to touch the cervix 🤣

Not sure what you're doing with your hands, but good video nonetheless lol

At this point, considering the song has been out for a while, this is far from a new song for me. But the amount of joy I received watching someone else experience so much joy and euphoria from this song for the first time is as almost indescribable.

At first I was like "damn that's a long time to run a premiere cycle" but my second thought is you've earned having one with a sleep token react. You get them like few on this platform do

GOAT album that displaced Type O Negative, AiC and Queensryche on my GOAT albums list ❤

Chase, do I detect a South African accent? 👂👀

After finding your channel, from the Calcutta reaction, it’s safe to say that your reaction to this song has been my most anticipated one yet. Much love, Chase ❤

Hands down the absolute best reaction channel on youtube. Thank you for your dedication to active listening and helping so many people go deeper into music. ESPECIALLY Sleep Token, a band which you get exactly what you put into them. Thank you for helping everyone understand this experience even better.

Absolutely incredible band, wonderful journey you've been on with them. Music is so powerful and Sleep Token stands as a champion among artistic creators. Legends. Thank you so much for listening and sharing your first experience of this song with us.

Hey Chase, thank you for this amazing reaction. Thanks to you I discovered this band and all the joy I got from Sleep Token is therefore also thanks to you! A personal recommendation since it is one of my favorite bands - Periphery have also just dropped two amazing singles in preparation for a new album. You should really check out Wildfire by them. It's incredible. Have a great day!

Perfect reaction from a REAL ST fan.

This song is definetly a treat

Your reactions always more than do justice -- they open up new ways of appreciating. Cheers, and thank you!

Chase, if all the rumours are true Granite drops on 19th and Aqua Regia on 20th. We would love a live stream ☺️
