- Throughout the conversation with Matt Pike and Jeff Matz of Sleep and High on Fire, we discuss their latest studio album, Cometh the Storm. Our discussion goes into the album's thematic layers, focusing on tracks like "Sol’s Golden Curse" and their relevance amidst current global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, left-wing political authoritarianism, and societal unrest.
We also explore Kurt Ballou of Converge's role as the album's producer. Matt shares insights into his solo project, Pike vs. the Automaton, and its potential influence on Cometh the Storm.
Reflecting on Third Man Records Vault Package #52, featuring Sleep's "Dopesmoker" with remastered audio, Matt provides his perspective. Additionally, he discusses Sleep's previous release, "The Sciences," marking their return after a hiatus.
Jeff Matz offers insights into his dual commitment to teaching and music, and we touch upon drummer Coady Willis's recent performance in Australia with The Melvins.

I just listened to Dopesmoker in the shower yesterday, it's become kind of a ritual.
Got much respect for these guys. Saw
Great interview man, keep doing good!
We seem on the same page as regard to the madness of the world and the shut down. Good to see some rockers can see what is happening.
Holy smokes hell yeh you got the truth outta Matt in that last bit! Good on you for speaking up brotha
In 2023, they did a cover of Motorhead's Iron Fist with Coady on drums.
Matt Pike is a good dude. You can just tell.
Jam packed interview. Stellar job!
Are they talking about the drummer from Big Business? That dude is so fuckin good........ I saw them at a Crucial Fest show in Salt Lake City when they were touring their "Battlefields Forever" album and the way their set ended was godly. Ive seen few drummers at that level.
Onya son
Metz has got it exactly what's going on in the world controllers nonsense.
Good, that you make music and not politics.
