I'm a 62 years old metal head from Texas and I learned about ten years ago that metal had genres. I thought metal was metal forever until I found music by Matt Pike and Sleep. Big fan now. You should see their live performances at Hellfest it's on UA-cam. Bring your bong lmao
Sleep's music is so pure and magical ... it transports me into their hazy sunlit rooms in cali when they were first writing these songs and where the sweet smell of sensi filled the air ... beautiful

I actually got into these guys when I was listening to the band Kyuss, the album I listened to ended and this one was next on the feed and after the first 5 seconds I liked what I heard and never switched it, best decision I ever made lol.
fukin epic. honestly this song to me sounds like a demigod creating some sort of titanic slime monster. The chanting vocal at the beginning is the god summoning the creature into being from nothingness. The massive, monolithic riff in the middle is the sound of the monster emerging slowly from the primordial slime - first bubbles, then scales, leathery skin, maybe claws, tentacles, teeth... finally (with the re-entrance of the full guitar sound), rearing its hideous head and roaring: a massive, powerful creature, moving very slowly but with incredible intent and purpose, inexplicably enveloping and subsuming anything in its path. Then the incantation continues, as the Reptile Master directs the monster to do his bidding. All Glory to the Hypnotoad!
i went to highschool with them and remember when they were all straight edge. I also remember when they were called ear wax and were a punk band and then morphed into asbestosdeath.
What a song! I just made the math and the album had had it's first anniversary at November 1st 1993, and I was born on the 2nd. Well noones gives a shit. Still this is amazing classic of stoner! Love those dudes
Unlike other Other Bands fans who are more hostile when you like a band, You Are Poser or ask you if you know a band's entire discography. Sleep fans welcome a new fan with open arms AND Much Love.
Doom metal should be called "sabbath metal" as Sabbath invented the sludge sound with songs like under the sun, electric funeral, sweet leaf, black sabbath, cornucopia, sign of the southern cross and into the void, Sabbath invented this sound and every doom band knows it.

Yall remember those old Maxell cassette tapes? The ones with the dude in the chair with his hair being blown back from the sound. That's what it was like when they kicked into the heavy part at 5:00.

RoastedZombies THA HEALTH INSPECTA It depends what your taste is like in the first place tho, some people love death metal from the first listen while to some it will forever be noise.
Devastator If I see someone eating shit, should I just accept it as their way of life? Or should I be disgusted by it? Because listening to black and death metal is like eating shit, only worse.
Rick Sanchez someone who listens to extreme metal can say that SLEEP is like eating shit, thus they hate it. You are going to say "but it isn't" but that is your opinion, from your point of view everything is acceptable, even if you were the one eating shit
Love this album but I need to write this.. Earache, I bought re-release of "Holy Mountain" - it's in digipack and I must say it is the cheapest CD release I own.
So well stated, and thank you for remembering the first ones who pushed hard rock into real metal! Sabbath perfected it and took it to new heights and sub-styles.
I went to a Sleep concert few days ago, an amazing total of 4 notes where played in 2 hours

Well if you are a metal head, you would know about high on fire. Well sleep was Matt's second band and before that he was in asbestos death

This track is so brutal that when I played this for a friend and he immediately started having back problems.
Bruh he should have had some Sleep with the right body position

8 hours minimum is recommended. depending on the time, place and state of mind more may be required
Saw these guys play in Wales on 29th May 1993. Still hooked.
But can you hear at your natural level?
I have yet to come across speakers that I feel truly capture the weight of this song
Go watch them live :) that wall of ampeg amps did the trick for me
Get the record and split it through a Fender Rumble Bass Amp and fender Accoustasonic Guitar Amp with reverb on.

How the jesusfuck have I missed this band for the last 25 years.

You just haven't done your research. This band is pretty huge
I came across them from the film soundtrack to "Gummo" with the track Dragonaut.
I actually got into these guys when I was listening to the band Kyuss, the album I listened to ended and this one was next on the feed and after the first 5 seconds I liked what I heard and never switched it, best decision I ever made lol.
And 6 years later I'm 48 and just now hearing (of) these guys 🤘
I was Searching for SOAD's Holy Mountains and came across this. Pretty good for not knowing what to expect. May be back to this later.
This is just a legendary album of the genre from 1992. Just dig into "Stoner Doom Metal" to find infinite amounts of heavy grooves like this
Mike Koenig system of a down doesn’t have blast beats, dumbass

I shed tears to this song and its depth ..
This is sick , my love for this song has got to be real , so you will know how I'm going to feel.
👍👍👍👍👍👍

you went to sleep
Weed is a hell of a drug
Listen to Sheavy's Electric Sleep, same riff only different tuning & timing
Fuck yea love that you know Sheavy nathan
What the guck is this and how can I inject it into my blood stream.
Smoking a lot of weed usually is key
the more faded you are the easier this music is to ingest/inject
my highs been fading in in out and now i know this music makes me higher
i went to highschool with them and remember when they were all straight edge. I also remember when they were called ear wax and were a punk band and then morphed into asbestosdeath.
Just heard about this band in a Sean Yseult interview. I can see why she digs them!
Sean has excellent tastes. Would've loved to see Sleep and White Zombie in a show together
Slow headbangs are the best headbangs
This song clears my mind and clears my sinuses. Spooky
Just saw them in Paris a couple of days ago. Was fantastic and had thrills during that song, Aquarian and Dragonaut.
im so jelly
got A hold ov this CD in the early 90's...soothing mantric droning excellence was and still is !!!

Listened to this walking in the snow, in the dark, high, right after i got laid for the first time. I'll remember that walk forever.
Their music sounds a little like a more heavier version of black sabbath

long live doom metal
@Brad Viviviyal The term "Doom metal" has been around since the late 70s early 80s, Sleep is from the 90s so they do not predate that term.
I laugh on every sleep video where eareache needs to explain debt to people.
I showed my reggae/blues friend this album and periodically after cool guitar changes I would laugh. I don't think he understood.
Nos gusta la música y su ruidos, muy buenas voces.
