The lore is as complex as the lyricism and instrumentation. In a nutshell, Sleep is a deity that appeared to Vessel in a dream, which begins this relationship that’s as tumultuous as it is euphoric at times. The band are all “vessels” that unite in the worship of Sleep. A token is a payment or offering, so the name implies that the band itself exists as an offering to Sleep. Along with this story of Sleep, you’ll find references and hints of other religions and mythology. Lots of references to the book of Genesis in this album, but there are bits of pieces of the stories of other gods and goddesses throughout. What’s crazy is that these references can be literal and metaphorical. Lyrics are written to be specific enough to advance this story of Sleep that seems to borrow from a lot of sources, yet he leaves them vague enough to be relatable for the listener. That’s an insanely difficult thing to do yet it comes off as effortless. Vessel is a prodigy. Total prodigy.
I mean...in my head, the whole album is about himself and his (mostly toxic?) relationships, wrapped in mythology metaphors. This one for example presents a praying mantis sex (you can see "bleeding" praying mantis in the video) and these animals kill their partner while f*cking. So...yeah has interesting memories on sex with his ex :D
I agree 💯. This guy knows his Sleep Token
thank you, im dumb
@@grimfist79 But that's the genius of the lyricism. It works congruently as both songs about literal human relationships but also this give and take relationship with a deity named Sleep. On its face, it seems like a guy writing songs about a past relationship with a woman that was both loving and toxic, but once you read more into key phrases and words, you'll find that connection to this mythology about some deity that has a hold over this man, a relationship with a god that's controlling and tests his free will. I personally find it to be brilliant song writing. A lot of religious people could certainly relate to a relationship like that--their life being a struggle, questioning why they're so devoted to this being that certainly seems to take a lot but rarely gives.
In my research he is Catholic .
As a hardcore metal fan, most metal scream you can hear anger but this song, you can clearly hear pain and almost begging like? i love this song so much.
What you say makes sense because in the lyrics you can hear a few times "are you in pain like I am".
@@myleneguillaume5807 yeah that's probably it
Vore was a good change up in the album. Kind of like God's from the Sundowning album.
feel it's heavier than GODS,..
@@ekatyawa6714for sure the guitar is a bit more prominent, plus the drums are super heavy too! Gods have a lighter mix!
@@jadeH23.16the screaming is more intense too, in Gods he was pretty shouty, Vore uses harsher, higher pitched black metal inspired screams
I think the change in the band is going back to their roots . Everyone in the band except Vessel is from a metal background. It makes sense this is the direction of the band moving forward .
@@ekatyawa6714 I feel like Gods was more about anger. and Vore is more about pain. the vibe is different.
A lot of people seem to dislike this song. But, it's one of my favorites on the album. The second half of the song gives me a strong Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) vibe which i really like. That chord progression is so good.
I also love it, I think it was one of the bigger reactors who said early on that he thought it was a bit meh, and I think it just stuck. 🤷♀
@@banehog The one's I've seen mostly think it's OK or think it fit in weird on the album. But hey, we all experience things differently. :)
I've heard this song live. It was better than sex
Idk how people are disliking it but its understandable, not everyone has a taste for vore. But the second part, the setup, the breakdown, dude that pain....atleast it hits you right? It hit me hard dude i fuckin got tears....like ARE YOU IN PAIN LIKE I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM?
This album's kinda neat to me because there is a group that likes all of the songs, and then 2 other groups that I think of as the "Heavier enjoyers" vs the "Experimental enjoyers". Someone might love songs like Rain and hate songs like Vore, while another person you ask loves songs like Vore & the first half of The Summoning but don't like songs like TMBTE and Are You Really Ok?
I'd imagine that a lot of the people who don't like it probably aren't really metalheads to begin with, or they are huge metalheads who just don't like the sound of the song bc it is being compared to other metal songs.
At some point soon you guys should check out Sugar from their previous album. It will melt Eric’s face.
And Kyle will have an orgasm
Sugar is one of my favs. After Alkaline
I love how Kyle is just enjoying the opening part while Eric is confused by the screaming lol 😂
I’m still here waiting on you to react to THE OFFERING from their first album. Sometimes I wish you guys would do a full album reaction from start to finish of their discography, SERIOUSLY!! Everyone wants you to 🤘🏻👍🏻
VORE is awesome!! It’s a change in the album flow, it was like a right hook you didn’t see coming, absolute banger of a track
I second the discography journey!!
Also, if I’m not mistaken, the symbols Kyle mentioned being around the screen of the video are the runes for “Vore”. They did that on the album art, putting the runes for the song titles down the side of the art 😊
The Offering, and Higher. Two of the best songs on their entire discography.
Add dark signs and I’m in
And Nazareth
I flew to Manchester last week to see Sleep Token live. I was a bit worried about his voice not being this perfect. But when they hit the stage, I could not believe that these guys sound so much better live! (INCLUDING HIS VOCALS) :O
Seeing them in May and cannot wait!!!!
I can attest that it is exactly the same and beyond amazing live! I had the pleasure to hear them play it only 2nd time ever live in June, and it blew my mind!
Seeing them for the first time on Friday. I’m so excited
@@FjRennard Vore is better live imo, the harshes are clearer than the studio version and harder its dope.
Vore is in my top 2 on this album with the title track and Ascensionism tying for 1st place. I love the transitions and the possible meaning the lyrics have, especially "Will we remain stuck in the throat of gods?" and all the references to being eaten alive that also appear in the bible.
In the judeo-christian lore, after Adam ate the forbidden fruit, God made a chunk of the apple to be stuck in Adam's throat and the laryngeal protuberance was since passed on to all men as a reminder of the first man's sin. The swallowing seems to me that is a metaphor for giving in for temptation, to numb yourself by feeling the pain at its maximum level.
8:03 is a sneaky blegh 🥵🤘🏼
@6:57 it could the thick black burning tar mentioned in Euclid.
So the "writing" that you're seeing are actually the runes from the entire album. Each song (on their records) has the title written in this language, and there are messages they've sent us in these runes as well. Several people have decrypted the runes and it really is just a hell of a ride to read what Sleep is telling us
they look like the symbols from some of the mensa iq tests
Yes, guys, please react to the whole album, it’s a masterpiece!
This was pleasantly unexpected 🤘🔥🤘
Vore is the song that got me into these guys. Then to see it played live back in September…holy smokes…so intense.
This is one of those gut punch songs for me and is one of my fave that they've ever done.
Everyone gets lost in the screams but THAT CHORUS.
I bought the Sleep Token album and have listened to it at least 5 times already, it's just a really good album and thanks for yet another great reaction guys.
Top tier music with top tier bois chilling in CZcams sea! Wish u a good time❤😊
This is the most Deftones sounding song I’ve heard from them so far
Agreed - the intro reminds me of Be Quiet And Drive
@@alexburchell1891 exactly like be quite and drive
I present to you, "telomeres" by them which is extremely deftones
I would love to see y'all listen to DYWTYLM. One of my favorites from Take Me Back To Eden and some of their best lyrics.
Perfect timing, just woke up😂
Good Morning! 🤗☕️
Coming back to this video where I saw Sleep Token live two weeks ago, this song absolutely shreds at a concert. I think Vessel's screams sounded more intense and IV did a lot of backup screaming too and they were killing it.
To answer some of your questions:
I hypothesis based on what some other reactors have said, is that the black goo is the characters getting corrupted. I did notice that In Take Me Back To Eden the figurine wasn't getting corrupted, but was corrupting everything around her.
Lore: Vessel had a dream about the deity Sleep and the band is a dedication to her and the songs are the way they worship her, they are Vessels offerings to Sleep. I have seen some articles and commenters claim to know who Vessel is, but I do not know who he is and I prefer the mystery.
Coded Symbols: The symbols on the videos are a coded alphabet giving the name of the song and I believe the album name (definitely the album name on the vynl). The subreddit r/sleeptoken is where I saw the alphabet and corresponding English letters. The subreddit also has a lot of disection of the lore and lyrics.
Call backs: This album has a bunch of call backs from the last two albums - This Place Will Become Your Tomb and Sundowning. Euclid ( on this album) has at least one call back to The Night Does Not Belong To God. They also have another song called Jaws which might be a call back here, but I haven't heard it enough to know.
Recommendations: I would love to see you react to The Offering, Dark Signs, Jaws, and others eventually.
Love your reactions.
Vore is such an underrated song
"voraphilia” or “vorarephilia” and refers to a fetish in which one fantasizes about being eaten alive or eating another creature alive
Gutted you guys missed the blegh after the 2nd "are you in pain like I am" at the end! It's really deep in the mix but it's a proper blegh, he goes hard on it live! Thankful enough to have seen them 5 times already, and again next week!!
Oh and the incense thing that the priests carry is a type of censer called a thurible.
Can't wait till you guys get to Euclid, such a good wrap up to the album
Love Vore 🖤 so much pain being let go
You guys gotta listen to Rain by sleep Token
Yes, that might be my favorite of the album! I personally wish it went on longer though ~
I'm so excited to see them live. Y'all, if you go through all the albums. Your brains🤯
I would love to see you go back to their earlier work for sure, do the whole journey! There are lyrics and themes that carry through from the very first song on the first album.
Yeah the placement in the album line up is everything for this
Yes. Been waiting for this one 😅🔥
I would love to see you guys react to their first album sundowning! Its such a beautiful wide variety album just like TMBTE. I know you guys would love it!! You gotta check it out!!!
" I cant imagine what its like live " After seeing them this June I will say this it is fantastic ,captivating and wondrous and I cant wait to see what they do when they swing back round to europe in the Autumn
This is one of my favorite's 🖤 I love everything sleep token do 🖤
I love this song, I have seen it live on CZcams and still amazing like the album.
This is my favorite off the new album…and one of my favorite songs by them thus far. #worship
I freaking love this whole album. Also just discovered Silent Planet-Antimatter. That is a whole jam.
Great reaction~~~~ Please do more older Sleep Token, they're so good 😃😃😃
Sleep Token definitely has many layers, woww!
Ikr?! Each song is so different from the next, but still as good. Also 👋 RR Mom, hope u r doing well💛
this is one of my favorites from them and i was so happy when they played it live at my show
also ive gotten further into the video and yes i can say this song is absolutely INSANE live
Speaking of masterpieces........The Anchor----MASTERPIECE. WORTH. THE. WATCH.
All there songs hit me in my core
I've heard that Dani Filth (Cradle of) helped coach Vessel on the high screams for this album. If it's true, I mean...you can hear it.
Gonna be honest, I was shocked when I first heard this song and it took me a few listens before I could get behind it and then I read the lyrics and was like "Oh yeah, this is the sh√t!!!" Lol
Great reaction as usual guys, keep doing your thing!
I love how you can see every feeling on Kyle's face! The expressions on his face relate to what I feel when I hear Sleep Token ❤
czcams.com/video/b5E7ymvyTP0/video.html
This is by far the best live recording of them (so far). And it has Vore on the set, as well as The Summoning. Someone in the comments has a time stamp for each song on the set.
Be awesome if you did a reaction to one, or some, of them 🤘🏻
Also… if you wanna hear vessel do a blegh, watch Higher at the end of the set 😉
Going through all your Sleep Token reactions.... loving your perspective and takes on how you interpret the lyrics. Some hate the face out on Core but time it fits. It's like Vessel is being swallowed whole by the Deity and as he vanishes down the throat of the god his voice slowly fades away
I love the drumming in this song
Amazing song
We need SLEEP TOKEN - BLOOD SPORT (FROM THE ROOM BELOW) with the video OMG that song man....
“There is always something in the way, I wanna have you to myself once”
They always have the words to cut all the way to your core man
Another great reaction. Next, check out their cover of Outkast's Hey Ya!
Vore is amazing, thanks again ♥
“Euclid” the last song on take me back to Eden is by far my favorite song on the album. Can’t wait till y’all get to it
my fav song this song is so underated
Always have to stay till the very end to see what Eric has to say! It's all true!
You guys should definitely do aqua regia if you haven’t already yet ( I don’t believe you have, because I’ve been trying to keep up with all of your sleep token stuff for a while now). If you have, then the apparition would be the next best to check out. I love your reactions and can’t wait to watch more!
This song is soo POWERFUL LIVE!! Vessel I just goes OFFF!!!
this is worship ! i love this band more and more
First time hearing this one, like the others, I’ve heard first from y’all. I like it, just gonna have to look up the lyrics 😅
I hope to see them live one day, already sold out in US. 😢
Finally ❤
Would be nice to see you guys react to older stuff from them like: the offering, Atlantis, Jaws.
Great reaction, more ST please!
This song sounds soo much like axe to fall era converge.. I love it!
My top fav off the whole album
I don't think you've done it yet, but if you're gonna do some more from this album you have to react to the closer Euclid. It's one of their best in terms of songwriting. Incredible piece of music.
LETS GOOO MORE SLEEP TOKEN 🔥🔥🔥
Love watching your reaction videos. If you’re not familiar with the band Kardashev, I think you would enjoy them. They are considered to be in the deathgaze genre. My top suggestions would be Torchpassing, Between Sea and Sky, Compost Grave-Song and Glass Phantoms.
Whole album is really good. The next song need to be in this moment the purge it is will good
Listening to this album is like Bastian reading the never ending story. It's an experience.
yall should react. to{ is it really you?} older song from them but i love it!
Im going back through your reactions because i saw them live on 5/28/24. While you are referencing "what is vore like live?" i just want to say them live, with their atmosphere, its like your soul is awakening for the first time.
Alkaline has a video with Vessel. It's from the previous album, but I think you'd really enjoy it next. As far as concerts go, I saw them in 2022 and they opened with Alkaline.
Sleep Token is full of lore. Lore aside, to me Vore and the whole album is about losing a relationship.
One of their best songs in my opinion. Although, with this band, there's no bad songs. None at all. They create magic. When I found this band, it felt like discovering a new colour.
cant wait for them to get to the breakdown of The Offering
When my boyfriend and I went to our show after Vore he turned to me and said “if I was in a fight this is the song I’d want to play.” He hadn’t really listened to Sleep Token before the concert so he had completely fresh eyes for the show and their sound. 😂
It’s the tar from Like That , Euclid and the Calcutta video
They supplied art for each of the songs, sort of a character image. The visualizers are of those images.
ST's heaviest song 🤘
You should check out some of the stuff from their first album
Guys, please please please do Alkaline next time. It’s a music video and I’m sure you guys will really like it. That said, Vore is heavy as shit.
Keep churning out this album
Hint: the symbols are actually the song titles! I got the vnyil of TMBTE, and you get the album art in a booklet, i noticed its the same as the titles (most people figure it out not saying im the only one🤣) there's also a hidden message too, i made a key and decoded it!
Its just so fun that the band puts so much detail into their music and their art!!
Love this band sm, would love to see album reactions for sundowning, and this will become your tomb, they are amazing albums that create a cohesive story with TMBTE as well!!!
Love this reaction❤
Atlantic, do it, feel it
yessssssssssssssssss
At one point in this reaction, I wondered how you would feel about having the lyrics pulled up for Born to Lead by FIR since it is more of a instrument performance, and then Kyle mentioned the shorter side of Vore’s lyrical length, and it made me laugh!
Really would like to see Born to Lead or Rolling Stone by FIR reacted to sometime, but can definitely handle some more Sleep Token!
And I’m on the same “People Hater’s” bus that Carbs ride on
Google Vore meaning. The lyrics and theme prevade the whole album.
You guys should do Aqua Regia, so good. So different.
Love that jazz transition in the middle of it.
"Let's get swallowed whole." Love this line. I think I've been swallowed whole by Sleep Token.
fun fact - IV (the guitarist) does some of the screaming in this song during live performances ☺️
Never thought I'd love getting my face ripped off so much 😂
❤
any sleep token react is welcome, this album is dope, but you should also check out the offering, or alkaline. worship 🙏
That black liquid is worship juice my guys lmao
