The funniest thing about that is Nath's reaction. Johnny is like, breakdown incoming! but he's like nah. And he looks so proud of himself only to go "wait what the hell?" immediately after lmao
yeah, my reading of the song is that it's literally a summoning in real-time: section 1: the incantation / prayer for an encounter of "the divine", worship section 2: shit gets heavy / brutal, we're not in Kansas anymore, worship gets more ecstatic section 3: going through the veil (ambient section) section 4: "the other side", intimacy / sexy time encounter with the divine
Damn. That's crazy. Doubt anyone would've figured that out without this comment lol. Did you also catch how the song starts with music and ends with less music? Crazy stuff
Naths reaction on the funk drop is comedy. Giggled realizing johnny was wrong on the drop but then it immediately hit HIM just how surprisingly wrong he was 7:42
Sleep token has a hold on me… hahah one of my favourite bands right now. “Fuck that’s sexy as shit” literally my reaction to the end 😂 the song goes hard & his vocals are wicked! Much love from Vancouver ❤
Sleep Token is like Spiritbox. The more I listen to them the more I like them. All five songs they have released are incredible! Pre-ordered their new album on vinyl!
His voice is a joy to listen to every single time. High notes, low notes, screams, it's alllll 🔥AF!! And the end of this song is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 And now just patiently waiting for reaction videos to new Axty and Periphery🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Carry on!
At the risk of getting yelled at, the vocals sounds like a rougher/heavier/grittier vocal of Kings of Leon singer and its amazing, especially the last funk part it resembles him as well. and the breakdown was a banger ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
No sleeves, just guns 😁 Great reaction guys! Love the direction Sleep Token are taking. The production and mix on these two songs has been amazing too.
i feel like i misread this song bc with the title being "The Summoning" i sort it assumed it was abt them summoning smth but it feels more like Vessel is singing from the POV of what is being summoned
I absolutely FROTH the first half of the song. If Sleep Token released a full album that sounded like that first half, I’d be playing it on repeat and throwing it up for AOTY contender. I personally feel like that last minute of the song could’ve been it’s own track to break up the album with something different but running with a continuous theme (like Bad Omens most recent album for example) and it would’ve been a great thing!
I love heavies and I love when Sleep Token gives us a taste of the heavies.. But damn I'd be lying if I said that the final 2 minutes aren't my favourite part. So sexy.
Johnny looking into the camera after saying "we like a long one"... I can't 😂 also this song is just so good! Can't wait to see them live this Sunday 🔥
This song, its instrumentation, production, vocals and its overwhelming power just blew the earphones right out the back of my brain. It's pretty goddamn amazing. The band has talent in spades. I'm a fan.
I get your point even though I do listen to a lot of music. Going back 10 years or so I'd listen to an album at a time, but now because Spotify makes it so easy to make playlists and I find most new music through RU-vid I don't really do that any more unless it's a band that I really like. The only full albums I've listened to in the last year have been from Electric Callboy and Dance Gavin Dance, and even then I've only listened through a couple of times when the album came out and added the handful of songs that grabbed me straight away to my regular playlist. It's something I've always done, I used to buy albums then pick my favourite songs and burn them all onto one CD, but obviously back then you had a limit on the amount of songs you could add so you had to be more careful how you chose and if you really fancied listening to a song that wasn't on your mixtape you'd have to go back to the album it was on, but again, Spotify makes it easy by giving you an unlimited playlist so if you suddenly get a song in your head that you didn't add you can just do it in seconds. Plus most of the time you can just hear what are inevitably going to be the best songs on RU-vid, go "yep, that one" and add it, so you don't feel as inclined to listen to the whole album even if you have the time to. Wow that was long, sorry to any one who got bored reading.
Good point! Though to be fair I do like the ambience or vibe some albums set when listened to front to back. That's why I also never shuffle an album. I generally tend to switch between playlists and albums depending in how much of one artist I'm down for in that moment.
Wonder if the tour with northlane and plini was an influence here Breakdowns with screams & the synths - northlane Funky solo and change at the end - plini One things for sure - it’s bringing in tons of new fans and I’m all for it!
Excellent point about short attention spans. The days of soaking up an hour+ record are sort of fading off. A lot of records seem to try to pump out singles and continuity isn't as important as it's all about playlists these days.
You are so right about people's attention span getting not only reduced, but literally destroyed by social networks like tiktok. This is so dammm sad ......
Always love some Sleep Token. Y'all heard of a band called Hanabie? They're an all girl band from Japan and their latest single is amazing. It's called Osaki Ni Shitsureishimasu (お先に失礼します). In English, it means Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now.
In terms of that last convo, I think we’ll see more bands just release singles until the album is out, like sundowning by sleep token, what falling in reverse is doing I think? And what The Wise Man’s Fear (awesome band you should check out) just finished.
I feel like I want to comment on every single video you guys have done… and ask that you react to Euclid!!! It’s completely mind blown me. And I will be checking daily for you guys to upload a reactions! Please! 🎉
Okay, but like te vibe section of my brain woke up today,its vibecore from dust til dawn now, also I demand that Nath and Johnny get tiktok famous for everything between 7:35 and 7:57. Right now, Im serious
