Sleep - Dopesmoker - Vinyl Record

Few albums carry a legend like Dopesmoker . Sleep recorded it in 1996 as a single hour-long song, a slow, crushing riff pilgrimage that their label at the time refused to release as delivered. A cut-down version surfaced in 1999 as Jerusalem , and the full vision finally arrived as Dopesmoker in 2003. It has since become the cornerstone of stoner and doom metal.

Matt Pike\'s guitar tone is enormous, Al Cisneros chants his desert-caravan lyrics like scripture, and Chris Hakius holds the groove steady for over an hour. It is heavy, hypnotic and strangely meditative.

This Third Man Records edition from 2022 is the first mastered from the original studio tapes. Spread over two LPs, it comes in a gatefold tip-on jacket with printed inner sleeves and a poster, and adds a new mix of the long-lost deep cut \"Hot Lava Man.\" An essential record for any heavy music collection. Set aside the hour and turn it up.
