#NikNocturnal #Metal #Reaction
If someone calls themselves a metal fan, but can't appreciate the true artistry and beauty in Sleep Token's songs, then they are lost in a shallow pool of close mindedness.
Nah. They just dig what they dig, and we dig what we dig.
I also feel sort of similar. It didn't seem like he was really allowing himself to feel the song because he was trying to do a "good reaction". Which I get, but also didnt sit right with me
It's not that serious man. Everybody likes something and whatever it is, it's perfectly fine
I only like hatebreed
I mean this has a pop feel, metal heads tend to veer away from pop stuff. Nothing wrong with it.
This one ain't for the die-hard metalheads, it's for us depressed sadbois who cried to Blood Sport from the Room Below
Factz lololololololol
Yess absolutely, this song, Blood Sport and Are You Really Okay... I love their groovy, heavy stuff, but these songs are just so nice to really sink into 🥹
This gave me Blood Sport vibes, straight to the feels.
Shoutout to whoever broke the vocalists heart, you helped create an amazing band.
@@Omertahun not cool, dude, not cool at all... he wears a mask for a reason, respect his wish and protect his identity. He gives us amazing music, the least we can do is shut the fuck up.
@@Omertahun c’mon homie. a large portion of the fanbase doesn’t want to know vessel’s history
@Omertahun i kindly ask you to delete your comment. Some people are actively trying to avoid knowing who they because they are obviously trying to hide their identities. Don't kill the magic for other people bro
But blood sport better
I got more of a heavier The Way That You Were feeling from this, imo. Both are great regardless, though.
This one was a grower, not a shower. After a few listens I’ve fell down the rabbit hole and have had it on repeat.
Same, at first I liked it but it wasn't an immediate replay but after about 20 listens I can safely say it's a banger
Well put.
So the carpet didn't match the drapes? 🤣
Yes. Same. The more I listen the more I like it.
Same
Its a love song with breakdowns lol WORSHIP
I love every song Sleep Token have put out ever, including this one. It’s so beautiful imo.
Not gonna lie, this dude probably has the most mesmerizing, unique and powerful voice I‘ve ever heard.
You can just feel everything.
I'd love to hear him with Jonas Renske of Katatonia
Yeah....him and Jonny Craig on colab would break the internet.
I really liked this tune, the highlight being the moment that the drums comes in, it sounds jazzy idk. Alkaline is still my favorite so far, but i cant wait to hear the album
Call me cliche but Alkaline and Gods are my favorite songs from these guys.
@@erissuccubus i was going to say the same until i heard HYPNOSIS couple days ago. that sogn kicked me in the balls as they were dropping
Agree, also my favourite part of the song. Compliments the piano perfectly.
I am so madly, deeply in love with Sleep Token that it's not even funny anymore...
I love how his reaction is basically everyone's reaction of Sleep Token, just not a clue where it's going, thinking you know where it's going and it's not going there. This is probably one of my favorite songs by them so far.
First time on Nik's Channel though so I think I'll stay awhile haha.
Everything this band does gives me goosebumps.
The best way to describe this is "Very Sleep Token" It feels like a departure but it's not, just like every single song they release.
This track was so stunning, beginning to end. Such a multitude of genres packed into four minutes.
This band is out of this world. Sometimes I don't know what's going on but I'm loving every second of it lmao. The song is dope, vocals are amazing as always
The claps slap harder like most deathcore bands do
It really does. And I listen to 99.99999% metal/deathcore all the time
"This one might not have breakdowns" is the best part of the whole reaction vid.
This is still my favorite song of theirs, the amount of times i listen to it a day is embarrassing. Im genuinely mad that i slept on this band for so long (pun intended?) They have quickly become an obsession. I usually cant get into gimmicks but theirs is cool and mysterious and makes it all about the music and story they tell. So in love with their visuals and sound. Theres no one like them.
First time I listened to this song I was very drunk and started crying at how beautiful it was
I love this band's versatility and their ability to take what adds up to a very "poppy" melody and still make it interesting. Plus the juxtaposition of that melody with the heavy lyrical nature. Like sadness but hope... idk. This was fucking great. They don't seem to miss. What a time to be alive with so much great music.
Song sounded like if Bastille went rock.
Omg I couldn't place it but this is exactly what it sounds like
Exactly what I thought after the first 60 seconds of hearing it!
Yea but Bastille has this pothead dude sitting on a chair with a tablet and he thinks he is a drummer.
@@Omertahun big brain
Sleep Token never misses
I heard this song last night and literally had chills! This song is amazing! So is Alkaline! These guys know how to create music!
God, the drums with the piano on this are SOOOOO FUCKING GOOD. Then that BIG chorus...UGH!
Low key, best song on the whole album.
This song hit me instantly.. One of my favorites... It brings on a lot of emotion for me personally
Sooooo excited for this new album. They can do no wrong. All the feels with this track❤️
Telemores is my favorite song by them. The piano, his vocals, the lyrics are hauntingly beautiful
The immediate "Don't" after he noticed they were time frozen like a fucking video game. Such a cute reaction while listening and being respectful. Subbed. ♥
within the last few months sleep token has become my favorite band ever i can’t stop listening to them
Worship ! Man I love Sleep Token, they're absolutely incredible live. I can't wait to see them again !
Yo when the drums came in and that little riff over top of everything. Absolutely beautiful.
I love heavy music but I’ll always have a soft spot for beautiful music. Loving this. 🤘🏼
Took three times through the song to understand and feel its complexity. It's perfect. Worship!
They just dont make anything bad they know what they wanna do and just continue on it cant wait to get my merch and the cd, and the album
Looove this song! Huge metalcore fan here but I really appreciate Sleep Token’s more melodic songs as well. This is gorgeous
Drummer did us straight with the TING TINGZ
This video was absolutely one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen… especially since everyone can take a different view of art this does connect with what I’ve been through in the past few months… Worship!!
Nic, thanks a ton for sharing music like this. Sleep Token definitely touched some part of my heart. This song and Hey Ya cover are golden.
Is Alkaline the only other Sleep Token song he’s heard? I think it’s weird to compare this song to Alkaline rather than comparing it to songs like Give, Levitate, and Blood Sport.
Probably just comparing them because they are both from the new album
So thankful for bands like sleep token. Not every song needs to have some sick breakdown lol. Definitely a give/blood sport vibe
@@Enigmalake I got the same vibe
Edit: I forgot I mentioned that in my original comment haha
God levitate is so beautiful
I'm pretty sure in his Alkaline reaction he said he had listened to Higher and Gods (he said those were his favorite).
Love this one!! Alot more than alkaline. It took a couple listens but then I realized how hard it hits in a different kinda way. Definitely give it more listens nik
This band really knows how to create atmosphere, amazing track
I love this track so much (like every other sleep token song) and it has everything that old prog music was known for, that infectious pop tone, the jazziness, the almost gospal styled drumming, the badass rock/metal guitars and it actually progresses and builds up through out the tune instead of blowing its load 20 seconds in like most prog/metal acts these days. a true 10/10 from me
Love it. The layers and the way the song builds is so beautiful and well done.
Straight jazz riffs from the drummer in the beginning. Sick grooves
This band is so diverse and amazing. Their music just draws you in and transports you to another place. Easily one of my favorites right now.
One of the best songs of the 21st century.
The best part of 2022 was me finding Sleep Token from this video of yours. To be honest I was starting to find a lot of music stale and then this walked into my life and revitalized everything. Thanks :D
LOVE new Sleep Token
This might be my favorite Sleep Token song next to The Night Does Not Belong to God. Or really anything off the newest record. I could listen to it everyday and never get sick of it.
Nik if you haven’t heard the offering by sleep token, you are really missing out my friend. It’s a mesmerizing sound off a 8 string
He's kept them on his radar for quite a while before he reacted to Alkaline, so I'm pretty sure he's heard it.
@@KidKat__ he has. it's one of his favorites along with Gods.
@@kionicxnm my memory wasn't that terrible then.
He’s definitely heard it, he included the breakdown riff in one of his old heaviest riffs videos.
@@harveydjent_ I don't suppose you know which one? I'm combing through each video to try to find it. Found it, it's in the 500 heaviest breakdowns video.

You introduced me to so many awesome bands, Nik. Thank you
I love that you can't really put Sleep Token into one category. They have a really nice variety and I've loved everything by them so far. They always keep you guessing what they're going to do next.
You know, every song they make seems to be a soundtrack to my dreams. I like them more everytime I listen to them.
This is my favorite song and video ever ever ever. It makes me cry.
They were AMAZING in concert ❤️
Sleep Token is great at subverting expectations. Love em.
What did i just listen too.... Why has this spoke too my soul? I am absolutely in love with this song.. it definitely had the love I want
Love this song so much. Kind gave me Dark Signs vibes
Love Nik's reactions...That's why I subscribed.
Proove, that metal bands make way better Pop/pop-rock songs than the artists that are known for this genre. Crazy good band. Really excited for the whole album. Gonna be fantastic I guess.
Yeah nik this song really does have a chill side to it and the guitar riffs were so epic cool heavy vibe which is awesome I love the fact that the drums have the groove smooth vibe on the vocals very awesome I love that energetic string performance I enjoyed it it’s a 4 niks too on this one great track solid track I agree man love u 😘
I really dig this tho tbh. There's a slightly bouncy effect to it that just really fits with the melody. First Sleep Token song I've ever listened to tbh
They don't have bad songs at all so I'd recommend every other song if you haven't heard them
After listening to II's drumeo interview and how he's been inspired by gospel drummers as opposed to speedplayers, I can really feel the uplifting bit after the break when everyone comes in for the last chorus and closing verse.
This song focused more on ambiance and general sonic composition. The production is so spacey for it to be a metal track and yet there’s djenty guitars that come in later in the track. I loved that. I wish more metal bands could focus more on creating atmosphere and a feeling rather than just heaviness. Idk how they aren’t as big as BMTH when literally everyone I’ve mentioned them to has loved them.
This song really grows on ya too. The video is truly mesmerizing.
So, radio music. Got it.
I LOVEEEEE SLEEP TOKEN!! theyre logo is tattooed on my wrist they’re so calming to me
I love how Nik says "this bad is so weird" right before Vessel sings "Now keep that 'freakshow' talk, to a careful minimum".
Only just picked up on it, but the synth melody in the background has a very similar rhythm and melody as The Night Does Not Belong To God and Euclid.
Nik’s whole reaction had me like 🤣
Loved the song and video, these guys are really breaking out of the box.
This song gives me chills now just like when I first heard it♡
I love watching Nic react to my favorite song 🥹🥹🥹
a year late; but i just saw them live and WOWWW!!!!
Nick, you have to check out the song "The Offering" by these guys if you haven't, you won't be dissatisfied 👍
This band man, just too good. They don't miss at all! All the way from thread the needle to know, they just don't miss.
I think Vessel is reliving a moment outside of time and space and after each death ties a new ribbon up to mark the number of attempts. Kinda reminds me of the gameplay concept for Dead Cells.
"is that a sword? Nice"
I wasn't ready for Vessel to have backup dancers.
The drummer always flexes so hard and I love it
I was waiting for this.
Worship
Nik, you and Andy should cover this with your twist
This song is mesmerizing. If you just minimize the browser window and close your eyes, it sucks you in, deep.
Fuck, sleep token are on a whole other planet dude, this stuff is just beautiful.
4:26.. Yes, but so good as well.
I absolutely fucking adore this song in how it flirts so blatantly with all the things i like in "contemporary worship music" like Hillside United, but without all the... You know. Stuff I don't vibe with in that genre/cult/style. And that fucking build to the somehow chill but heavy last chorus... Sleep Token really knows how to compose music y'all, no matter the flavour.
*obligatory "Worship" comment because it's funny*
Loving SleepToken! tytytytytyty
I dig it. Spacious yet executed well.
Sleep Token is basically metal Adele
I feel (hope) the pacing is going to make a lot more sense in the context of the album.
It’s not that I didn’t like it, just not my thing. Respect though, these dudes overall are very good
The thing is he is in the time loop everytime he ties a ribbon it’s his attempt of winning but he keeps failing
Sleep Token are Sublime and that's from someone who was deaf for a week after a Napalm Death Gig.
Next level cover! You gotta do a cover of October Ends - Play Time. Would be a super interesting cover for you 🤔
This band is … no words. Worship!
Sleep Token never disappoints
I saw them live. It was POPIN!
Tuning? Probably somewhere between F# and Drop D# (Below Drop E 8 string). I have two custom Rocksmith files of their songs and those are the two tunings used.
Gorgeous song
I can see this being on the radio
I don't know if you have already listen to their album sundowing but that's the kind of song that Sleep token does and make them unique even tho they have softer songs and really heavier ones. So for me the 2 new songs are like great in their own way
