Please do more Sleep Token!

Funny that you'd ask if the angel depicted here was Lucifer, because it's actually the opposite. When Adam and Eve were forced to leave Eden, an angel was placed at its entrance with a flaming sword, so mankind could never return. The angel is wielding a scythe, rather than a sword, to symbolize the end of something rather than the defense of something. And in the statue's hand is THE apple. It's all a metaphor for state of mind, and love. Vessel (the singer) is saying you can't go back to the way you were. The bygone days are bygones. There's no returning to the person you used to be, only accepting who you've become, and the people around you won't always accept or acknowledge that. And, as he says, no amount of love can keep things the same way they've always been if you don't put in the effort to stay that person, stay in those relationships. You have to want to be better, or you'll never be. Ignorance is bliss, and you can't unlearn something. You can't go back to Eden. You have to move forward. Even if the people around you are full of themselves, or offer empty words, you need to do what you have to to keep yourself moving. The whole album is full of this kind of symbolism, and it's amazing.

Wait a minute like the original SCP001?

"I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre" is the most beautiful way to say "like a moth to a flame" that I've ever heard. Vessel has a way with words that I feel is unmatched.

Sleep Token Army….Do your thing! Worship

“People don’t miss their water until their well runs dry” Wow just wow. What and incredible analogy of what is going on in the song and in the world today. Great reaction!!

I cannot help but watch a Sleep Token reaction video. It lets me relive the first time I ever connected with one of their songs and it's a wonderful feeling.

I love to watch people’s minds being blown by Sleep Token 😆 I’m still amazed by them! If you have the chance see them live.

They are unbelievably gifted. Just genre bending and deep meanings. The entire album is a masterpiece

if you loved take me back to eden, you're gonna love Acensionism. In my opinon it's their best song. same album. I loved your reaction. I love watching when people that have never heard sleep token have a similar reaction as me. Keep it up all have a blessed weekend!

Sleep token is amazing ❤

Sleep Token makes me wanna headbang and sob all at once.

Think of that angel looking visualizer as…… a representation of something is both beautiful ANd lethal. It holds you in awe of its perfection and its magnificence AS it kills you.

If you love this, you'll love the album. Every song is so different from each other as well

Actually Lead vocalist Vessel encountered in a dream an ancient deity known only as "Sleep", promising him glory and magnificence if Vessel followed Him. Hence the name sleep token and the songs are tokens to the sleep deity

Great reaction. I've been a ST fan since their inception back in 2016. And I can honestly say that they don't one bad song. Not one. They just don't know how to make bad material. Everything they is pure gold. Do more and you'll find out.

I super appreciate y’alls reaction to this song!

1:18 out of countless reactions.to this song you a the first one to finally bring up the Garden of Eden and the birds Thank you 😊

Thanks!

Please more sleep token 🎶🔥every song is a masterpiece 🫶🏽 🎶music is life !!! 🥰

Love all the easter eggs in this song.

More Sleep Token. They NEVER disappoint. Trust.

I get so excited watching people's first reaction to this song. Makes me jealous.

Oh my God Sleep Token is one of my favorite artists ever!

The visualiser represents a sleep God, it's a part of their lore.

Fun fact for sleep token. They have a band for live shows, but the albums are done by just 2 people. Vessel the lead singer also plays all of the instruments excluding the drums, then the second person is the drummer who is obviously incredible

Good reaction!!

this is a great reaction, I hope you get to love them

This whole album is like that. Its really touching. Good reaction guys ❤

Every time I recommend Sleep Token to friends who've never heard it before, they always ask me what genre they are. My response? "Yes."

“This is deep already!” My friends… This man Vessel don’t know how to be anything but as deep as the Mariana Trench 😎

need more sleep token!!

Loved the reaction! Its clear yall are both spirtual people. Check out Bad Omens "Death of Peace of Mind" for similar genre bending and lyricism.

I am fairly sure the figure is representing the angle of death.

Acensionism is a absoolute must!! Worship!!

Btw the “It was no accident” and “We were tangled like branches in a flood” was a reference to another one of their songs called “Chokehold”

Great reaction! Acensionism is another banger. So many great songs. They don't make bad music and you've only scratched the surface. Very much worth a deep dive.

Sleep Token fan here, loving your reaction!! ❤

This was a great reaction i love the meaning you got from it and i believe the Angel is the angel of death if you noticed the orbs that are floating around the figure. But also like someone else said that it could be the angel that guards the gates of eden. But keep going down the sleep token rabbit hole it's a heartbreakingi ntenense beautiful jaourney from the darkest broken parts of love and obsession to finally letting go of a lost love to finally discovering self love and moving on.

Ya'll really need to check out their song, The Summoning. It's a whole nother experience

❤️❤️🔥🔥

This is so awesome Bryan, thanks for introducing us to Sleep Token

There are essentially only 2 members of Sleep Token, Vessel sings and writes the primary work on guitars bass and piano. II is the drummer. They have more musicians who play live. Thier whole body of work is impeccable

I always love hearing what listeners interpret from sleep token's music 💙

Every single track

My favorite thing about sleep token is to see how many genres they bring together, and how many different types of people can appreciate all the things that sleep token does. And they show you that genres don’t have to stay isolated in their own niche in order to make wonderful music.

I love your reaction. Most other reactors get stressed about what genre this is and you can see them trying to find the box to put it in. You guys just enjoyed it for what it is. Art.

Never seen you two, glad to see you enjoying sleep token. They have a wonderful sound and poetic af.

The way y'all just FLOWED with this 😍 if this one got you, you will absolutely love every single other song by them. More Sleep Token please!

Yassss! Sleep Token are the best band I have ever come across and the recent album is definitely my AOTY! You should go down the rabbit hole now. They’re genre bending and use elements of everything from rock, metal, RnB, trap, hip hop, gospel, and more. Even if you don’t like one song don’t write them off as every song is different and as you can see from this one they switch up completely through the songs, also don’t be thrown off by some of them being 7-8 minutes long either as it goes by far too quickly. You should start at the beginning and work your way through as they tell a story and have call backs to a lot of them. The band are anonymous, I and others know who they are but won’t reveal out of respect to the band and fans but the singer goes by the moniker Vessel, drummer, who is a beast is II, bassist III and guitarist IV. From London UK. As far as their discography goes they brought out two EPs called One and Two, then 2 singles called Jaws and The Way That You Were, then the three albums Sundowning, The Place Will Become Your Tomb, then TMBTE (Take Me Back To Eden). They’ve done five covers that I’m aware of. One being Hey Ya by OutKast, I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston, Is It Really You? By Loathe and When The Party’s Over by Billie Eilish, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. His Vocal range I believe is B ♭2 to F#5 and he has a wonderful chest voice, head voice and scream. I have never hyper fixated on a band like I have with these! Loved the react and Will subscribe and hopefully see many more. 🖤 The trilogy = Seduction. Destruction. Liberation.

I hope you’ve only begun going down the sleep Token rabbit hole.

A hooded figure with a sickle and wings is usually the Angel of Death. The apple of Eden signifies the sin of man, and the forbidden fruit that forsook humanity.

Sleep Token is a treat. Any sleep token song is gonna be interesting tho you might like The Summoning

Loved the energy of your reaction!

Worship ❤ More Sleep Token!

Sleep Token is such a vibe Love seeing you guys get into it Their entire body of work is so diverse and just genre bending and beautiful So I hope to see you react to a whole lot more of their stuff Some of my main suggestions are The Apparition , The Offering, Vore, Sugar , Hypnosis and Jaws ..all different but all amazing

Ascensionism next!

Still waiting! Like it’s my most anticipated reaction.

Great reaction you 2👊🤟...Positive Mind Bullets to ya 🙏💙

Yo this was the best sleep token reaction I've seen on KZread.

I like your reactions. Good job. Sleep Token is amazing.

The best sleep token songs imo are the ones that feel like the calm before the storm. Ascensionism is one of their best songs

Man…if y’all fuck with this…just know this is just a piece of their insane body of work…you’ve got a whole pandoras box of music to open up here!!! The whole album is incredible 🔥 Also seeing y’all get hyped during the breakdowns and switch ups was a lot of fun to watch!!! Great reaction!!

Do more Sleep Token. My favorite songs by them is Acensionism, The Summoning, Hypnosis, Chokehold, Granite, and Jaws. I personally love this band and all of their songs. Also, look up the lore about the band. It's really interesting. It'll show a bigger picture of what the songs is about. ❤

Love the callback to chokehold towards the end there there's so much nostalgia in this album it's insane i recommend going back to Sundowning album maybe on your off time and then their second album This place will become your tomb, and then a full album reaction of take me back to eden amazing album amazing trilogy they gave us. Worship!

Please more sleep tokin please please

Fuck yeah sleep token. This album will win Album of the year this year. Not a single doubt in my mind.

Vessel. Worship. The best.

Ascensionism easy next 🙌🙌

Great reaction guys and defo do more sleep token like alkaline,euclid or the summoning

I highly recommend more ST but that electricity you feel, it can be quite addictive so be careful.

Tou two are so much fun to watch. Ren brought me here and ST got me to subscribe. I like to watch reactions to see someone else hear stuff i like for the first time. I've got a lot to watch here!

Its the deity sleep in the video

Sleep Token and that Orioles hat made me stop but great reaction. Ascensionism, The Apparition and Granite would be great songs to check out off the same album.

Do atlantic by them as well

Once you fall down the rabbit hole of Sleep Token, there is absolutely no return.

Acensionism next pls

Sleep token uses a lot of religious symbols from all diffrent religions but they are not religious band themself.

I suggest Ascensionism by Sleep Token. This lyric video is great - kzread.info/dash/bejne/aXZ528-nepvXmbg.html
