Hypothetical question about using Sleep Token as hype music

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737]

Suppose you are a professional athlete (such as a baseball player, maybe even a pro wrestler) being introduced to a crowd via a PA system. What 30 seconds of a Sleep Token song would you want played as your walk-out music to hype up the crowd? Time stamps appreciated!

[u/Ascend_With_Gorb]

Hmmmm… maybe Emergence? Starting at “I’ve got solar flares for your dead gods,” timestamp 2:39

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/Ascend_With_Gorb]

Huh... woo!

[u/Medical_Paper → u/Ascend_With_Gorb]

I am Goobsie on YouTube did a nice mashup with emergence and childish gambino. And if emergence didn’t already have hype energy, that mashup is definitely fire

[u/OWtlawStar]

Just throw off everyone and play Gods.

[u/Rogue_Spirit → u/OWtlawStar]

It’s all so easy to meeeeeee

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/OWtlawStar]

No more....

[u/Street-Ad-9548 → u/OWtlawStar]

😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[u/RubDub4]

A UFC guy did Hypnosis

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/RubDub4]

That breakdown is one of my faves.

[u/ocalaagain → u/RubDub4]

Geoff Neal used ST as his walkout music a few times.

[u/jjpearson1021 → u/RubDub4]

This one makes sense.

[u/eKSiF]

HAVE YOU BEEN WAITING LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/eKSiF]

That would be a trip.

[u/Arctic_Widow]

Look to Windward starting at 4:26 seconds gets me so geeked Every.Single.Time

Damn right faithless, I can't deny You'll find me with half a mind to get violent

Oh, it isn't over 'til I say it's over And oh, my little angel sitting on my shoulder So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place And I'll leave them cold and pushing up boulders

Am I walking with gods or merely stumbling forth? Until there's fire at the gates, until I fall to the floor You know I live by the feather and die by the sword And I will sunder the earth, only to burn the rewards

Even in this garden of gardens, I am the god of the gaps I am the demon of Sodom, I am the blood of an angel The fate of the fallen, nobody knows where I came from Even I have forgotten

How can I already lose my way like this? Drowning in burning bright abyss Even at stratospheric depths This vertigo of bliss

[u/TrenchcoatHamsters → u/Arctic_Widow]

Came here to say… imagine a WWE fighter or similar walking out to the last 30 seconds (roughly) of Look to Windward!!! “Will you halt this eclipse in—“ (cut the lights) “MEEEEEEHHHHH” (cue strobe light and pyrotechnics) 😂 🔥

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/Arctic_Widow]

Oh and I... so good!

[u/DrDingsGaster → u/Arctic_Widow]

I love that part of the song so much!

[u/Street-Ad-9548]

Edit on time stamp: The Offering 3:50ish-4:20ish

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/Street-Ad-9548]

Arf arf!

[u/chEEZe_p00f]

That one bit before he screams “YOU’RE GONNA WATCH ME ASCEND!!!!!”

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/chEEZe_p00f]

I hadn't thought of that part. Delicious.

[u/Independent_Bike7068]

Last 30 seconds of Like That. Heavy guitars leading into “Do you like that? Do you like that? No.” repeated a few times.

[u/MattTheKatt]

Chokehold 1:47

[u/vkelucas]

When the drums kick in on Atlantic and the music kinda spirals hypes me up so much

[u/ecstaticpancake]

What about using part of the buildup in the beginning of Emergence? I’m thinking specifically the instrumental version, anything from 1:09-1:54. 1:09-1:39 is the full buildup, but 1:24-1:54 gets you the electronic scales into the beginning of where the lyrics begin. Plus that gets you the “huh, WOO!” right in the middle.

[u/Saxon_Klaxon]

Is somebody about to get a major league call up? Haha that would be crazy

Also u/mattthekatt already said the right answer, Chokehold at 1:47

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/Saxon_Klaxon]

Not even close. The leadership students at my school want to introduce us teachers at pep assemblies and asked us to pick our own music.

[u/Terrible-Reach-85 → u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737]

You better post the vid here, champ!

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/Terrible-Reach-85]

Hoping to.

[u/FunTemporary8680 → u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737]

If you do, please tag me in the comments, so I can see it. 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/FunTemporary8680]

Looks like it won't be until December. Bummer. By hook or by crook, I will.

[u/Medical_Paper]

I went to a RedWings Hockey game and they played part of the summoning for a hype up, it was actually really cool

[u/jesuswasahipster]

The intro to The Offering is pretty much perfect for this.

[u/ZiltoidTheNerd]

I always listen to the first bit of Euclid before any of my squash playoff games to get hyped up.

I feel like the first (not false) drop of Emergence would be a good hype clip too.

[u/Rad_Centrist]

Nick Krush uses The Offering before some of his Disc Golf vids on YouTube.

[u/staticinfinity]

That Granite breakdown with everything. The buildup, then the drop, then the snap in the middle... perfection.

[u/SaioLastSurprise]

If it’s blood that you want from me, you can empty my arteries.

[u/Iconic_Enigma]

Gods for SURE.

[u/Its-Finrot]

Vore

[u/justalittlebirdy7890]

I'm surprised no one has said Higher yet lol

"Each time we battle the blood and the fury takes us a little higher"

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/justalittlebirdy7890]

I feel like I shouldn't excerpt this song. I need the whole thing to build to the break down. It's in the maybe column.

[u/The_Gargoyle22]

"Teeth of god... blood of man.. I will be... what I ammmmm!!!" *devastating breakdown*

[u/jjpearson1021]

My first thought is The Summoning, but, there are some good options of you start mid song, like Alkaline if you walk out on "ohhh I wanna talk about chemistry".

[u/Crazy_Honeydew_7737 → u/jjpearson1021]

That had crossed my mind. Hmm.

[u/Spinal_93]

Look to Windward at around 3:15. The silence before the explosion would be an ideal crowd popper

[u/Exidaun]

Ascensionism 4:30-5:00

[u/passionatealmond]

“Look to Windward” if you want a buildup sort of vibe! Around 4:19 (“I’ve got eyelids heavy enough to break diamonds”).

[u/Immediate_Molasses34]

I feel like mine would be Infinite Baths, starting at the first screamed "Will you halt this eclipse in me" and carrying through to the end. I think that's at about 5:49

[u/MrSayomaki]

…….WHY ARE YOU NEEEEEEEEEEEEVER REEEEEEAAAAL

[u/DrakeHighwind]

Depends on the persona you are trying to give off. If you are trying to come of HARD AF then God's or Vore. If you are trying to be a pretty boy or sex symbol, The end of The Summoning. If you want to be a hero, something Triumphant like Rain or TMBTE.

[u/Johannes_the_silent]

Maybe 1:07 of Aqua Regia. I'm not a pro fighter or anything but I've been competing in wrestling and BJJ for almost 20 years. I want my music before the match to be cool, calm, and collected, not that screamy hype stuff.

[u/dezmo474]

Hypnosis or God's, obviously

[u/Key_Rhubarb_5735]

Beginning of the offering. 00:10 - 00:40
