They're taking a lot of ideas that have been floating around in prog metal and making them less... y'know, prog. Not that the bands I'm thinking of are actually all that metal, in fact most have been softening up. As someone who listens to that shit, it's very cool for Sleep Token to introduce this sort of thing to more people.
I'd describe what they do as post-metal art rock. But its so eclectic we metalheads hear the metal in it, but pop fans love his voice and the other elements. That funky section to end is surprising and very cool.
For your question of genre, I think they're pretty solidly prog metal, but it's just so all over the place with their influences that the argument could be made for just about anything else
you're a cool ass dude! Your voice, accent, enthusiasm...kudos my Brotha! Also... I didn't come up with this but someone in the comment section on another reaction of sleep token said... "Life is like a box of sleep token... You never know what you're gonna get!"
Of course you have to di Chokehold, too. Albeit, it doesn't have the energy of "The Summoning," but it's good nonetheless. My man saying, "Forget my channel, check THEM out!" You are a great man!
Mate, would love to see you react to "New Medicine". Most recent song is F*ck it, other ones I would recommend are American Wasted, Fire up the night and Rich Kids. Definitely worth looking into, I'm a huge Falling in Reverse fan but also listen to a lot of the same stuff you react to.
I don't remember which was the first video I've seen of you rich, but i always enjoy your reactions. Your energy and stache is just the best. Keep the good vibes! ❤️
Takes you from Chunky Town to Funky Town lol. And everything in between. This was a roller coaster ride of a song with a lot of change ups but was fucking amazing the whole ride.
I've watched many of your videos several times, but it feels so fresh every time! Love the reactions brother. Keep doing what you do, fan for life! Hope you have an amazing year and love from across the pond! 👏🙌
Chalk another thank you up to sleep token for directing me to a dope channel. Your reactions are hilarious and heartfelt. New sub in me fo sho. Cheers mate.
Sleep Token is hard to pin down, genre-wise. They definitely fall under the metal umbrella, but nobody can agree on quite where they fall. Some say prog, some say melodic, some say djent, some say djent doesn't exist.
