From Sleep Token's interview with Revolver in 2017: "Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone."

Huh I never read that interview, but I wholly agree with that statement. Genres only limit our perception of what music can be.

Theyre pretty straight up metalcore, except when theyre making straight up ballads.

Vessel doesnt write songs, he writes experiences.

Facts!

Sleep Token isn't just music, its an experience. There is a lot of lore to look into also.

Well, I just found my favorite reaction to this song. As a musician myself, I love watching other musicians appreciate what other artists do and have their minds blown by a song, especially when it's Sleep Token. My recommendation would be to make "Ascensionism" a priority for your next listen. It's just as much of a ride as this song, with twists and turns all over the place.

I know you guys are blown away by Vessel’s vocals, but something to note is that he also wrote and recorded all the instruments excluding drums, and has a big hand in the mixing mastering and over all production!

Sleep token are fucking mad live. Im going to see them again in sept. Vessel the singer is insane, they are possibly even better live imo. And vessel as an artist does everything except drums, hes an incredibly talented musician

The only interview I've seen of them they said with regards to genres “Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.”

Yes, yes just appreciate the music... as a society we are so easily distracted... no need for visual stimulus, just close your eyes and follow them on their musical landscape... just talent... and i thank them endlessly ❤ thanx guys, you rock!

I call their genre “ambient metal” or “transcendent metal” 😁

Welcome to the Sleep Token family. You can pick any genre and find the sound in at least one of their songs. I hear Pink Floyd, Deftones, Depeche Mode, Opeth, and Bush to name a few of the sounds and influences.

Sleep Token is a genreless band which is an experience!

I hear much of Depeche Mode, british indie pop, progressive metal/djent, Rnb, ambient...all in a beautiful mixture. Sleep Token is like no other band and hits on so many levels. Art!

« Do you think they’re like super high when they write these songs ? » Is probably the most pertinent question I’ve heard in a reaction to Sleep Token

“Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” - Vessel 2017 To answer your question of what genre it is, it is music.

Loved your reaction! I cannot recommend enough Ascensionism from the same album, The Offering from their first album (Sundowning), and Atlantic from their second album (This place will become your tomb). You cannot pin them to a genre, Vessel (the vocalist) writes everything besides drums, drums are written by the absolute unit of a drummer, called II (two). Subscribed for more awesome Sleep Token reactions, you guys are great!

you have no idea,im living and breathing, sleep token and the songs you suggest are just a start to a master piece that sleep token is. sleep token introduced a life style that is dark,bright,soft,heavy,beautiful and ugly. it saved me from suicide since i listened and i was like, i feel this and i am happy that im alive to watch him (vessel) bloom like a flower in dawn.

Nice reaction. They definitely crawled there way up to my favorite band of today. So unique and perfectly put together music.

I love how that last post chorus hits, like they are no longer asking. Take them back, now.

I think this is my favorite song of theirs just because of the longing I can feel through the song. It hits so hard.

They do have a few music videos if y'all want to check them out. Thread the Needle, Calcutta, The Way That You Were, Jaws, Alkaline, The Love You Want, and Fall For Me all have videos

I was impressed almost in similar way by Pink Floyd only 20 years ago. ST is cosmic and beyond special for me💙 Thanks for cool reaction🙏🙂

Enjoy the first times listening sleep token, they blow your mind, then you really want to necer listened to sleep token just to discover them again. Amazing

Saw them yesterday live in Hamburg, and it was the second time after the munich concert they played this song live! It was an experience... this band is so freaking amazing... you have to see them live! 🤘🖤

I was listening to this album high the other day and holy shit there are so many small details that go into making the songs it's insane and was very inspiring.

I recon you would love higher by sleep token, its off their first album sundowning and its one of my favourites of theirs!! Love this reaction!!!❤

The hype is real! My favorite band in recent memory. I’ve seen them live once and can’t wait to see them again this Fall! If you get a chance to see them on tour do it!

Interesting how their music brings fans from all genres together to enjoy a band that does it all. And they end up worshipping the transitions and new genre. Sounds like God And how he/she presents themselves to different cultures.

1:27. That's exactly the point. They're masked and anonymous and no one knows who they really are and we all want it to be that way, because music nowadays is all about imagery and who did it more than what the actual message of the song is and the emotions it brings out of you. So in a way that's the whole point. They DON'T want you focusing on the video too much or on the imagery too much. Just listen to the music and enjoy.

Welcome to the ST rabbit hole. Each song is an experience

I am a guy mostly into death metal/deathcore sort of bands, I listen to a lot of other stuff, hip hop, anime openings etc, but thats my base. My cousin sent me stuff of this bands first album and I liked it, but it didnt stick with me fully. Then she asked me to come see them with her an hour away live. I have seen a ton of death metal bands, Nile, Deicide, Fleshgod and on and on. And I can honestly say the drops live with Sleep Token are as heavy as anything I have seen live before, the effect of it live is mind blowing and I came away after that show obsessed.

Sleep token have changed the music rules and it’s amazing

I always hear that ending of this song like the main character of this album is in complete despair and scream to Sleep take him back where he was happy to just feel like this once more.

Ascensionism next!

With this band i do recommend doing a lil research cuz they have a very interesting lore and everyone has different takes on it but i recommend taking what you can read coming directly from the one written interview from vessel and building your own view from the songs but it's a story that is worth it cuz the songs are really relatable and intense and just so emotional and beautiful and heart breaking and if you let yourself you will feel every emotion that a human could ever feel and some you didn't even know your could feel. I really recommend taking a deep dive into this band. Cuz they aren't like any other band out there.

Sleep token has been categorized as Ambient metal

You may want to try the lyric videos from Sleep token just so you can accurately follow the words. Vessel's lyrics is next level god tier mode!

I totally agree with you guys, if you go in with research it's not really a reaction, it's an analysis. There's a reference to one of their first album songs in one of the melodies towards the end. Then the last song in the album immediately after with a part from the first song in their first studio release all ties it together.

There is a scientific reason their music gets louder as the song goes on. It is a brain stimulus that makes you like the music more. It is the same reason live shows get progressively louder as each band plays and even while bands play.

The entire album is a masterpiece, no doubt. But how about some Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Expereiment (LTE)?

Come check this out as an introduction: 1. Dream Theater - Pale Blue Dot (kzread.info/dash/bejne/moxnxrutedW9ec4.html) 2. Liquid Tension Experiment - When the Water Breaks (kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4eJktp7d8nRlso.html)

Look up the meaning of Vore and realize the whole album lyrics match with that theme. The visuals make more sense then

4:00. Another point they want to make. Music should not be put into boxes. There is no genre. As Vessel said in his ONLY interview back in 2017: "Life is dark, life is bright. Life is ugly, life is beautiful. So don't get lost in genres, they'll only disorientate you." Because music should just be heard for what it is. MUSIC. And that's it. Sleep Token is Sleep Token.

I've heard Ambient Metal.
