Hey everyone! Thank you so much for checking out the video! Be sure to follow me on my other social media! linktr.ee/thenoskipshow
Beginniners guide to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I think another thing for their popularity is that you can actually hear that Vessel sings from his heart- there's quite a bit of music these days without any feeling, that man pours his heart out to their songs.
Main reason I love metal
Completely agree!
He really does, to the point of crying fairly regularly. I can't blame him, it shows just how much of himself he put into his lyrics.
Sleep Token is their genre lol! It’s hard to pick a fav..I really love Fields of Elation, Calcutta, Jaws, The Offering, Give, Atlantic, Hypnosis, Like That, Telomeres, The Summoning, Granite, Ascensionism, Take Me Back to Eden..but honestly, I never skip any of their songs
That’s the best way to look at it! And all great tracks! They don’t have a single bad song
@@thenoskipshow truth!
Agreed!
I think even my least favorite song from them (Aqua Regia) is starting to grow on me.
@@KriminalKat even if there’s a few that don’t resonate with you, I feel like the more you listen to them the more they grow on you lol. I pretty much liked everything I heard from them my ass made me like to song is that just took a little while to grow on me, also, once I read the lyrics understood how deep this song was that pretty much did it for me
@TaraRyze oh I don't dislike a single other song from them. I think just something about Aqua Regia doesn't satisfy me in the same way as all the others. It's an undeniably popular song, so I am certainly in the minority. I still think objectively it is a good song. It's just my least favorite. Thanks for your input!
Alkaline has been on repeat for days now. Its so hypnotic and i cant get over Vessel's voice 🤯 Im officially obsessed with this band!!
Such an amazing track! 🤘🏻
I found Atlantic and same!
My friend showed me "the Summoning " a few months ago, and they've been in my everyday rotation. I really love songs like Rain, Granite, and Alkaline
Discovered them on TikTok maybe a month ago but I never dived deeper. It’s only TODAY that I decided to listen to their albums. I’m hooked now. They are AMAZING. They have no bad songs, that’s crazy. It just feels like I’m levitating whenever I hear them, they’re that awesome. I have too many favourite songs tbh. Anyways, love them
About an hour ago Granite came on Sirius XM and I was blown away. I’m going to take a deep dive into this band. Wow. I’m floored by their detail and musical schema. What a find.
That’s awesome! SiriusXM is a great way to discover new bands! Welcome to the club, worship 🤘🏻
You will not be disappointed!!!!!!
Same.
Lol you posers are ridiculous.
These guys have showmanship in the bag. High quality. Mystique. Just all around phenomenal. Love it. I get goosebumps everytime.
They got it all! 🔥
I just had the privelage of seeing Sleep Token live a week ago and it was an absolutely beautiful experience! About 2-3 yrs ago,I remember hearing of this band on the site Ultimate Guitar from an article interview with Corey Taylor of Slipknot and this was one of the 3 bands he said was going to blow up in the next few years as there was a video link to Alkaline and it was the first time I ever heard a Sleep Token song and it was dam good, but it didnt draw me in, fast forward to around 4 months ago the title track of TMBTE popped up in my feed on YT I listened and was absolutely floored! This catalyzed my newly formed obsession with Sleep Token and now I know all of their songs, Ive never had a band do this to my brain as they have, there is something special about this band and I believe the emotion and genuosity play that key role I've been looking for in modern music, Worship!
I like how Ghostemane describes his music. Genre-fluid. That totally should be a thing we start considering artists and bands as. Its perfect. I mean you can even do Genre fluid Metal if thats more of a main stay for the band. Or just call it progressive metal. Yea we play metal but thats not all were capable of. I think thats a beautiful thing.
That’s a great way to put it! Genres are becoming much more fluid as styles of music influence one another constantly now
Genre fluid but he is not original
Orrrr, we can just stop labeling band's completely. That would work as well. I used to be a complete maniac with genre fitting band's, but as I've grown older I completely ignore the "label" and just listen to the music. It make's the experience much more enjoyable.
@RemmyRiffs sure. I'll just type "music" in the search bar next time I want to listen to sleep token, Alan Jackson, snoop Dogg or the backstreet boys. I'm sure the search engine will know what sound I'm specifically in the mood for 🙄
There's a duo from Nelson, New Zealand called Genre Fluid 😁
Why hadn’t I heard of this band until last night?! Holy. Fuck. They’re beyond amazing 🖤🖤🖤
What have you been sleeping under a rock all year? Lol. This band is quite literally all over the place, you can't get away from then even if you tried.
Welcome to the club!
I discovered them on SeriousXM When Noah from Bad Omens took over and mentioned that he took inspiration from Sleep Token. For his Octane Takeover he played "The Love You Want" and i fell so fucking hard. I was in love and listening to all of their music. I waited all night into the morning the day the Take Me Back To Eden album dropped. Saw them live during their US tour and im just waiting for them to announce another. I need them to come back!!!
That’s awesome! I don’t listen to the radio but hearing how SiriusXM Octane and Liquid Metal have helped so many people discover bands is really cool and will help the genre forward! That US tour was MAGICAL, can’t wait to see them again!
It took a minute to get into Sleep Token, but now I'm hooked. I also love ghost and have been a fan for them since they started. Got to see them with my oldest in August and their show was AMAZING.
I hope to be able to see Sleep Token live now!
That’s awesome! Their live show is incredible!
I saw them first at a concert (didnt know them before my boyfriend took me there) and immediately fell in love with their unique music style. They quickly became one of my favourite bands and I cant wait to hear more from them!
I ended up seeing them live at blue ridge before knowing who they were 😅 loved the performance
so lucky!! I’ll be seeing them this week!
YES, me too! I was sucked in.
Sleep Token are my band of the year so far and I don’t see that changing. My favourite track by far is Take Me Back To Eden, but Jaws is a solid second.
Great video man!! Sub’d
Thank you so much! Dude TMBTE the track is unbelievable, takes you on such a journey
Sleep Token is by FAR the most hyped band of 2023.
Love Sleep Token. My favourite is Chokehold, or maybe Rain, or Ascensionism, no, Take Me Back To Eden, or maybe Alkaline, or actually I really love Summoning.....
I think the same thing when someone asks me my favorite lmaoo
I first heard of Sleep Token last year thanks to tiktok. They have quickly became one of my favorite bands. Alkaline, Vore, Sugar, and Elucid are some of my favorites of theirs!
I love Take Me Back To Eden, Atlantic, Rain, Blood Sport, The Summoning, Ascencionism, The Aparition, Jaws, Alkaline, Chokehold... And about what genre they are, they're everything. In one long song, there are at least 2 genres lol
All great tracks!
I first heard them in 2017 when Calcutta (still a single at that time) popped up randomly on a Spotify playlist catered to me. Immediately fell in love with the song, but didn’t get into the band until a couple years later when Sundowning came out. Have been a fan since, and it seriously warms my heart to see them have the success they’re having now! I just saw them play a sold out show just a few days ago, and it was an amazing experience! I’m excited to watch them continue to grow
I started listening to Take Me Back to Eden (just the song) last summer after a friend told me to check them out but finally did a deep dive earlier this year. They are now my whole personality. I just saw them live four times in the past two weeks and will be chasing them around the UK in November. What is my favourite Sleep Token song? Yes (but probably a tie between The Love You Want and Euclid). Their genre? Yes. There is just something about Vessel's voice that pulls me in and keeps me there and not a day goes by that their music isn't playing. I love the emotions their music evokes in me. They have truly helped me through an incredibly difficult time in my life and I could not be more grateful to them for how they have helped me heal.
When I saw II ON Drumeo I fell down the Sleep Token rabbit hole..haven’t stopped listening since 🖤🤘🏻
This band literally makes me cry it's been awhile since I've discovered such beautiful music😭
It seriously is beautiful. I would have never thought to describe it that way but it really is.
Same, the emotion in their songs are unreal
Their genre is “Yes”.
Great video man! I would love to see a Beginners guide to Ice Nine Kills as they have been killing it since the silver screams II
Great idea! They’ve had quite the history and it would be so fun to tackle all of it! Be on the lookout for this in the coming weeks!
INK video out now! czcams.com/video/xKrgcuqypmA/video.htmlsi=bYi7OZEYCaGcgvTT
Sleep Token is in a genre all to themselves 🖤🎶 My favorite ST songs are Jaws & The Apparition.
Just discovered them today while in HMV in Watford ( UK that is) looking for PJ Harvey’s latest vinyl. It was playing in the shop and likes it instantly and then liked even more when queuing to pay I noticed the geeky girl at the till was singing alone while serving customers in front of me. I asked her who they were and boy did I make her day!! 😂 she told me all about them and I cannot thank her enough! Way to go!
Nice video, I'm seeing them this weekend at Riot Fest and despite having a few songs on my playlist for the fest didn't know much about them aside from their looks.. They are a must see before they blow up anymore than they already have.
Thank you! And yeah definitely! I’m seeing them live on Friday and I’m so hyped, arenas will be next for them
Great video. I’s the first I’ve seen of you! Loved it so I subbed.
I heard of SleepToken back in May from my husband after he listened to them on the suggestion of a friend. I listened casually until bam: I heard the most amazing song ever called “Aqua Regia”.
I just saw them in Denver and I was blown away! Amazing “ritual”!
They are overall hard rock, but a genre bending sound all their own. Their songs are complex musically and lyrics are either gut wrenching or babymaking tunes, sometimes both at the same time! I call them “pantry droppers” #aleeptoken #worship
Nicely done, buddy!
I appreciate your enthuziasm and all the great info you transmited.
Thank you so much!
I love Sleep Token! You should do a beginners guide to BABYMETAL!
Great suggestion! Definitely going to make this!
Euclid is by far my favourite song of theirs, i just dont get how it has so little streams
Amazing song!
My favorite also, followed by Sugar
@@brandiandersen5273Sugar is so good
100%. Euclid has made me cry so many times, it’s absolutely beautiful. Such a nostalgic, haunting, emotional song.
I love two most popular songs, The Summoning and TMBTE. But their heaviest stuff like Vore and Gods would also be in my top songs. I love his screams. From the other side, Atlantic is definitely my favourite from second album, I thought it would make me cry in first listen.
A lot late to the party here! I've listened to 'Take Me Back to Eden' about a dozen times the past 2 days and I still keep finding more in that song. This band is phenomenal.
Better late than never! Welcome!
my favorite song by them currently is Granite. defintely metal
One of my favorites!
They remind me of a band called Clutch. Loved this video you shared! Thanks so much!
im seeing them tomorrow live and i cant wait!
Can't pick a favorite yet but I absolutely love all of Take me back to Eden. I call them ambient industrial, with a strong pop sensibility that gets rather genre bending at times
Thank you for appreciating and respecting the incredibly talented Sleep Token!
Genre- Sexycore!
I wish I would've heard of them sooner. Immediately fell in love with their sound when I saw them as an opener for Slipknot this year. They are truly amazing. Going to see their ritual live in 4 days 🫀
They put on an AMAZING show!
Just saw them live two days ago...what a freakin amazing show it was. They are all so talented and it shows. Probably one of my favorite concerts of all time!
Sleep token invented a new genre : Sexy Metal
That's been a thing with the 80s hair and glam metal bands or 90s with type 0 negative or 2000s with HIM playing love metal
That's been a thing with the 80s hair and glam metal bands or 90s with type 0 negative or 2000s with HIM playing love metal
I love atlantic. and take me back to eden is phenomenal. the way it calls back to chokehold at the end??? ooooo its amazing!!!
Both amazing tracks!!
the first song of theirs i listened to was the summoning but i love take me back to eden
I’ve been listening to sleep token since 2019 I really love Sundowning it’s such a good album. I forgot about sleep token for a few years until the 2021 album TPWBYT, And when I saw Will Ramos’s cover of Chokehold in 2023 I figured they were releasing a new album soon, and boy they did not disappoint
Love the mention of ghost, please do a beginners guide to ghost!
My thoughts too! Ghost video! 🤘🏻🤘🏻👻
Honestly don’t know how to choose one song as a favourite, it’s like asking a parent to choose their favourite child 😂
Ascensionism is probably up there, but as an acoustic musician, Missing Limbs has a very special place in my heart.
This band is generational, long may it continue. Worship.
So do you have any plans to cover newer, lesser known bands that you feel should get a bit more exposure? Maybe a bit of backstory, some song and video clips, etc, like you did for Sleep Token, but in more of an “introductory” style than a “recap” style. You could even debut new songs for them.
I truly appreciate your passion buddy. WELL DONE!
Thank you so much!!
I'd say stay with us in the UK mate and do the mighty Architects or Bring Me. Both have been so influential to heavy music.
And, I would like to see you to do a listen through of each album and the EP's (maybe do the two EP's, Jaws and The Way That You Were in one episode). Can't tell you may favourite song as they have so many bangers, but I love The Offering.
Bring Me is on the list, Architects too, both massively influential bands, UK is currently booming for amazing bands, and a listen through would be super cool! Haven’t thought of doing that but maybe it can be in the cards
Not sure about everyone else, but i found Sleep token through WIll Ramos' covers.
Rain is my favorite!
Do a beginners guide to Coheed and Cambria!
Vore is far and away my favorite. Many others are in tier 2 and interchangeable by day, Alkaline, Summoning, Granite, Euclid, The Apparition, Hypnosis, Atlantic, Telomeres, Jaws.
All great tracks!
Yeah I was waiting for the ghost comparison. And honestly I have them in the same playlist
Great video. Best explanation I’ve heard on Sleep Token
Thank you so much!
Love this series. Would like Flipturn if you haven't covered them. I already saw y'all's carseatheadrest video and that was fun
they fit not one category. Vessel's voice is incredible Have now seen them live 4 times They put it all out there I love the summoning it's his voice that does it for me and they just suck you right in for the mystical ride every show. Soundwise live just incredible
Cool video! A few things weren't entirely accurate, but nothing big :)
Keep up the good work!
Discovered them on Drumeo recently. Hell of a band.
The Night Does Not Belong to God is one of my favorites too. This was a great vid!
Thank you so much! That song is just so perfect, the buildup to that last section is just magical
@@thenoskipshow couldn’t agree more. It always feels like its my first time hearing it.😅
@@thenoskipshow and ii is truly an amazing drummer and adds so much depth to the music itself. He is my favorite drummer right now hands down.
The track Nazareth got me hooked. That was back in 2017. Now they've blown up big time. Great band. So unique. Potential festival headliners.
Love your stuff , this is well done. For me , I think I would of loved 5-10 seconds longer of each song as it would add for people who don’t know the band to see a touch more if they would be into it . Again my thoughts. Still will check out your other stuff either way 😅
Thanks so much! This was actually the pilot episode of the series and I’ve since gone more in depth on the releases and songs, as the average length is now about 5 minutes longer per episode, and I’m also planning a full sleep token lore/imagery breakdown that should releasing soon! Thanks for the notes though, I appreciate it!
Saw them by accident, absolutely amazing!+
What’s crazy to me is there are people who know who they are. There’s no way that their family or very close friends don’t know and the fact that they all hold the secret is super cool
Oh yeah it is really cool, and a lot of the fanbase is in on it too to keep the secret safe
Sugar was in my Spotify Discover Weekly years ago. I was hooked instantly
One of my favorite songs by them!
Sleep is Hypnos brother of Death (thanatos), and as a son of Night (Hes. Theog.)
Freaking genius band name
Genius!
Watching this because I’m absolutely hyped for their Berlin concert tomorrow.
Anyway pretty informative and nice, just hoped to hear how they actually gained popularity,like was there some TikTok Trend with one of their songs orrrr what happened that this music reached the masses all of the sudden
Thanks for the kind words! It actually wasn’t one specific thing, it’s just the summoning blew up everywhere and developed hype on all social media, including tiktok, CZcams and Facebook/instagram. I appreciate you checking out the video, and I recommend checking out a newer video in the series, since this was the pilot and the shortest episode. A full sleep token lore/hidden messages video coming in the coming weeks!
My favorite songs are, The Love You Want and Rain.
Both great songs 🔥
Yea. I don’t enjoy all of the labels put on them. They are sleep token. It’s pretty hard to box them into anything. They’re just amazing. There’s no specific genre as you eluded to. If/when I get the privilege of seeing them live in south Florida I’ll be happy. Crying to most of their songs. It’s wild. And they are ally are an enigma. Thanks for the video. Nothing I didn’t already know but still informative for someone that knows nothing about them. Beautiful music that gets hard occasionally. Lol I think that’s fair
Actually **
Genre boarders are lowering and sleep Token are helping contribute to that, super cool to see!
They are pure gold& they are just wee sweethearts with it WORSHIP ❤
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video, man!
Thank you so much!!
Would love to see a beginner’s guide to Ren - there’s a great article on him in UK Rolling stone, his independent album went #1 this past October in the UK over Rick astley, drake and Ed Sheeran, and he’s got an incredible story of struggle and triumph over 13 years of misdiagnosed Lyme disease, his viral hit Hi Ren has over 21 million views in 1 year and his thank you for 1 million subs video is a great watch. Thanks 🙏 ❤ ps sleep token is definitely an enigma and I love them
Awesome video man!
Thank you so much!
Seeing them at Blue Ridge was the highlight of my weekend fr
Glad that set could still happen
Id be down for a full album review, these guys run the gamut genre wise, but whatever they dip their toes into they kill. With the lore and the genre bending( not to mention god tier vocals), the only band i can begin to compare them to is Coheed and Cambria, while stylistically very different, the spirit, vocal prowess and lore make this the only comparison i can begin to make
beginners guide to KC and the Sunshine Band!!! LETS GO!!
My favorite sleep token songs are as follows: Vore, Aqua Regia, The summoning, Chokehold, Hypnosis, Altantic, Telomeres, TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN(full album :) ) This place will become your tomb, Every song sleep token makes.
Sleep Token really is like a religious experience. Alot the songs that didn't blow up are my favorites. Missing limbs and are you really okay? And Atlantic. These songs are so special because it feels like a god is talking about the same pain as you. It's a truly spiritual experience for me personally. Vessel is how I imagine a god to sound. Their music is music I imagine a god would write.
anyone have any idea what's the bgm used in the video
So since low key slipknot is dying low key I like this new band tbh they bring a nice unique sounds kinda how slipknot started out not saying they are the same or are living up to them but it’s cool to see a underdog win once again hope they stay united ❤
Hard to choose just one… but Euclid, levitate, rain, granite, fall for me, the love you want is top tier!
The love you want’s music video is absolutely perfect
first song i heard from them was Alkaline, I was blown away and been a fan ever since
I fucking love genre crossing groups like this. Music is a universal language and art that deserves to be set free... Fuck the "rules"
Seeing them on Sunday!! Aqua Regia and Alkaline on repeat!
Have a blast! They are amazing live!
Great video buddy!
Thank you!!
Forget the image gimmick or whatever, the music is really good wow, found them randomly on Spotify
Welcome to the club! Music is the most important aspect of them for me and they knock it out of the park.
Alkaline and Atlantic are my new favorite songs ever
I came here to learn about the band…. I am still waiting.
Sorry but nothing will ever beat when that last chorus of chokehold kicks in
Listen. I’m not a mask girl & have absolutely HATED the metal scene post 2000(Gen X, obviously). BUT ever since whatever angel algorithm hooked me up to the last part of the Summoning, I was indeed SUMMONED. This band has had a CHOKEHOLD on me in the last month, and I’m at the SATURATE ME I CAN’T GET ENOUGH stage. O. M. G. What an incredible band.
man, nothing has been as loopable for me lately as the heavier verse in Rain
An incredible drummer for sure.
Completely agree!
Their genre is fucking awesome 🤘🏼That’s all I know. 😊
My fav is also Vore! Like that it is really heavy.
Same! Love the screams on that one
Great video bro
Thank you so much!
no problem bro your deserve to blow up @@thenoskipshow
Review the latest album. Im also a follower of Sleep. Sleep Token hooked me on The Summoning and TMBTE
My favorite song is Rain
Now do a "Beginner's guide to Sleep Token mythology/lore"... if you were to make THAT video, color me impressed...
This is a good idea! Coming soon 👀
You should do a guide to Seether. Love them
Noted! Definitely a band from my childhood-early teen years
I love sleep token sm takes for making this vid dude
(I love that fact that you mentioned ghost too lol 🤭🤭🤭🤭)
Thank you for checking out the video, glad you enjoyed! And I’m planning on entire video on Ghost so stay tuned for that! 🔥
