sleep sleep's holy mountain cd

black sabbath called. they want their music back. this is a total ripoff of sabbath. na just joking though it does sound a lot like a ripoff. sleep are a stoner/doom metal band from the 90s. this is the band's second album and the only one i have apart from the amazing vol 2 7 on off the disk records. two of the songs from this album appear on that 7. but enough of that. i love the gui1tar sound on this one. very bloosy feel to it. the vocals range from sabbath-like singing to shouting. maybe not the most original band in the world but it works if you like stoner metal which i really do. the lyrics are total stoner lyrics. i have a friend who likes these guys and i can see why. he also likes prog rock (you know who you are) so i can infer he's hit the bong before. am i the only one who can hear some hardcore punk influence? or maybe it's cause they were asbestos death before sleep. i don't really know and i don't really care. you must get this if you like sabbath or stoner metal.

  1. I always liked prog rock to a degree. these guys are really hooky, really sludgey and high as fuck.
    I think they were actually hardcore punks who traded the meth pipe for a big assed hookha pipe. whatever. the holy mountain record was some kind of milestone in music. good times.
