In fact I like that these 2 tracks are longer because there's more to enjoy that way. You are always going somewhere - it's difficult to say where exactly - but there's not much sense of direction to your travels. California’s Sleep were to prove to be just as out of their time as any doom metal band at work in the early 1990s. High On Fire had doom parts too. They also sound similar to how Pike would deliver vocals in High on Fire, so it's a little hard for me to believe it's Al laying those vocals down. When one compares the standing these guys have in history to their actual output of quality it leads one to wonder. Standout tracks include Dragonaut, which wastes no time in letting the listener know they are in for a damn fine Sabbath tribute. Overall, “Sleep’s Holy Mountain” is by far Sleeps greatest, and most accessible album, then again almost anything is accessible compared to a single 52 minutes song/album. Just like "Dragonaut" started the album gradually, this song prepares you for the silence that comes when any CD is done playing. Höre kostenlos Sleep – Sleep's Holy Mountain (Dragonaut, The Druid und mehr). The truth – when taken on its own merits – is that ‘Sleep’s Holy Mountain’ is a collection of great riffs, bluesy licks, both punky and understated vocals, and doom metal, all chucked in a blender and spewed back at the listener almost at random. As with the musicians' later projects High on Fire and Om, there is plenty of loose jam-like freeplay and lost song structures, although Sleep were arguably the most unpredictable beast of the three. Weak moments? Chris Hakius, with his signature style(the hypnotic cymbal-banging), is solid as ever. If you disagree I’ll slurp my crinkled hat through a straw!
Although ‘Sleep’s ‘Holy Mountain’ is far from an utter failure, there are simply better albums by better artists with better ideas played in a better order released both before and after this album. The new album was going to be an hour-long song. In fact the only time you know you are done with a song is at the end, when there is nothing else to follow it. While Sleep is more obvious about their roots than their fellow forebears, they still pushed the stoner doom genre to previously unexplored frontiers. Going along with that, the band format has its own set of tweaks. Incredible talent! There must have been some serious pot-smoking going on during the process of writing the music. For me this CD can be divided up into 2 sections, the 1st ending and the second one beginning with track 6, "Holy Mountain".

Their drone/noise experiments on ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘Dopesmoker’ are definitely worth a listen for their shear gall.
Sleeps Holy Mountain. That said, being stoned does not always mean being happy. Also, while most heavy doom draws its appeal from slow, swampy brooders which eventually transpire into sped up halcyon moments, Sleep is a master at revving up the unsuspecting listener with fast cavalier riffs and fat, wonky bass lines prior to ruefully slamming on the brakes, thus attaining a zenith of a diametrically opposed sort; namely, a Zombie-like ziggurat of dredging incremental guitar riffs and concordantly poised drum beats such as at 04:43 of said “Evil Gypsy/Solomon’s Theme”.
But don't be imtimidated by their length. There are no concessions whatsoever on this record.
There is a vital separation between the instruments instead of the usual wall of sound production.

Tony Iommi once famously said that Sleep, out of all stoner doom bands out there, most "embodied the spirit of early Sabbath," and from the opening head-nodding notes of 'Dragonaut' through to the slowly capitulating doom of closer 'Nain's Baptism,' that spirit echoes on down the Holy Mountain, one of the best records to come out of the burgeoning 70's revival scene two decades ago. This kind of feeling occupies you all the way through your dream, as you lurch from 'Dragonaut' to lands of castles and creatures, then back out into space to watch the epic slow-motion image of the Earth exploding. “Inside the Sun” has some of the only fast riffing on this album, but fear not, my fellow weedians, inside is a land of anachronistic molten sludge that will flatten any memory of earth.

Ever noticed how the easiest way to experience things you thought were impossible is to shut your eyes, fall asleep, snore loudly, and dream yourself into another world? This bad boy I can just pick up and spin. Now this is much, much better. "The Druid" has a more hardcore punk influence which seems a bit strange for its subject matter but once the lyrics are out of the way the song is solid with a hard-hitting rhythm. Indeed, in the title track booming bass drones dominate the song and the vocals come close to the chanting style Cisneros would adopt for Om.
All of these songs are lyrically fantastic, traversing mythic realms of infinity and outer space until you are incinerated “Inside the Sun.” The guitar of Matt Pike has low end crunch to be fucking reckoned with, and Sleep’s pentatonic and heaving blues riffology tends to have a hypnotic effect upon the unsuspecting listener.
This song, more than any other, escapes the clutches of Sabbath to sound entirely of its own.
What makes Sleep timeless, so that their music has endured beyond themselves or even OM and High On Fire really, is that they took a series of easy 70's templates and in their enthusiasm for them, generated something uniquely their own.
If almost to show how much Sabbath influence there is on this album, the opening track “Dragonaut”, ends in a bass solo not all that far off from the one on “N.I.B.”. It's difficult not to air-drum to Sleep's music. He'd be one of the very few people who I consider to do both clean and non clean vocals wonderfully and not make me want to chuck Iron Maiden vinyls at him.
Add in the flimsy yet firm foundation set by drummer Chris Hakius and you’ve got a lineup that earns its own set of wannabes.
And that sort of sums up the entire album.
If said friend had in fact recorded it, the listener would be thoroughly impressed. A power trio consisting of bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros, guitarist Matt Pike, and drummer Chris Hakius, Sleep blends its instrumental voices in such a way that the band forms its own tectonic rumble, which manifests and then hovers parallel to whatever groove it's playing. With the explosion of stoner doom over the past ten years or so, Sleep are often held up as the grandaddys of this renaissance. Einen größeren Bekanntheitsgrad erreichten sie, als zwei ihrer Lieder für den Soundtrack zum Film Gummo ausgewählt wurde und vor allem, als Jim Jarmusch im Ja…, Sleep ist eine amerikanische Stoner Doom-Band aus Oakland, Kalifornien, die 1990 gegründet wurde. I personally don’t listen to this album without smoking. Originally published at Hate Meditations. In this particular case I'll let it slide considering the nature of the band.
