SLEEP

Release Year: 2018
Artist Origin: USA
Style: mesmerizing psychedelic stoner doom metal

California's three-piece were not the pioneers of stoner doom as a genre, with clear tribute and inspiration coming from seventies hard, blues rock, and Black Sabbath, but their sophomore album [1992] was definitely ahead of its time, considered an essential record in renaissance of the hazy sound, setting up a whole new scene for nineties that rolls on up to nowadays; drug-induced magic of nine tracks has quite unique and characteristically mesmerizing flow, memorable monumental riffing and peculiar underwater-like singing of Al Cisneros, where hypnotic voice smoothly blends with the instrumental part, gleefully reanimating the corpse of a vintage formula, thus it is a definite must have for each single one of stoner movement adepts!; recent British digipak edition comes with sound remastered in full dynamic range, pressed from original tapes
