Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain (Earache, 1993)


Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain
(Earache, 1993)

Like Black Sabbath? Try this! At least, that seems to be the consensus among most listeners. I like the way one Rate Your Music user has put it, "More Sabbath than Sabbath." Sounds good to me. Sleep are much talked about for their notorious "Dopesmoker" album. Outside of the novelty of a band that created an album of a single hour-long track, Sleep put together some fantastic tunes of slow, heavy, guitar and tap your fingers along drums. It's great music for when you're driving alone or just messing around at home. I suppose it'd be a good soundtrack for hitting the bong too, but you'll have to give that a go for yourself and let me know how that works out for you. Try it, you might like it.
