It sounded pretty bloody good to me, until the last five minutes of this track. I wouldn't consider myself an afficionado of current metalcore either. I found the ending disappointing, because it was so... dissociative, for lack of a better word.

They will never be as big as someone like Bring Me The Horizon, because BMTH figured out how to do it. You have to purposely add generic stuff to your music to get popular mainstream wise as a metalcore band. So if that means ST is never as big, then so be it. At least we have an amazing sound to listen to.

I caught the Vore release and hadn't heard of them before that. The Summoning is such a great song. I've been listening to it, Vore, and Alkaline on repeat for 4 days and have already bought the album and a t-shirt lol. It's been a while I have liked a new band this fast this much. They are incredible.
Seen these live a few times at Alexandra Palace supporting Architects and they're phenomenal. Can confirm Vessel's voice is as good if not better live. But they're all supremely talented.
This is by far the best song from start to finish they have created. So many different layers in all 3 different sections of the song.
Honestly i would pay 50 bucks for a ticket just to watch them sing this song and only this song live.
They way genres are effortlessly mixed by this band gives me severe queen vibes. Queen was phenomenal in mixing elements and I haven’t heard a band effortless do that yet. The ability to change a song without having the audience immediately notice the element change is amazing. 2023 is the year of ST
I LOVE IT. its so different and just beautiful. I now simp for sleep token.
Gods from sundowning was super heavy and i really wanted more of a similar vibe to that on the last record. Looks like we’re getting it in spades here. So good
I wish the ending was a separate full song but holy shit this is sick
I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing the big chorus, and then a few minutes hear that same chorus but funky. God damn thats good
It's been years since i've listened to a song and after it I went like: "Wow, that's an experience". It's like this one song takes you through this rollercoaster that other bands need an entire album to take you through. Even The Devil Wears Prada, which is my favorite band, a band which, might I add, also knows a thing or 2 about taking listeners through the motions, hasn't given me such a vibe recently. And Chokehold also feels grand. I'm telling you, with this material, Sleep Token can be taken to the stratosphere.
This slaps SO hard on multiple levels! Sleep Token is a certified Nocturnal introduction for me, and thank the gods for that

I discovered Sleep Token last year through Nik's reaction to Alkaline and I can say without a doubt that Sleep Token is my new favorite band. I plan to get their symbol tattooed on my wrist this year. Linkin Park guided me through grade school and high school. Sleep Token is going to guide me through the rest.

Sleep Token is the only band where I love every single song they’ve released. Every. Single. One. 58 total I think. They don’t have recycled riffs, sampled melodys- it’s all unique messages, gorgeous lyrics documenting the human experience in a way, making me feel how I haven’t felt in a long time. My favorite song from them? The Night Does Not Belong to god, followed by Higher and When the Bough Breaks. But I love all of them. Truly both albums I listen to fully and regularly. They are not confined by genre or audience. They are driven by Worship. And I worship their art fully.
I love both tracks but damn this is the heaviest Sleep Token track and the soulful solo, Jeeeeeesus
This is one of my favorite Nik reaction vids, natural and fun. Also the chat comment “We go SEXY?” killed me
