Sleep Vinyl Records

Sleep is an American stoner metal/doom metal band from San Jose, California. The band was formed in 1990 by vocalist/bassist Al Cisneros and guitarist Matt Pike. Drummer Chris Hakius was added to the lineup in 1991, and the group released their debut album, Volume One, in 1991. The album featured their best-known song, "Dragonaut", which was released as a single.

Sleep's sophomore effort, Holy Mountain, was released in 1992 and is considered a classic in the stoner metal genre. The album featured the track "Jerusalem" which has become one of the band's most iconic songs.

Sleep released their third album, Dopesmoker, in 2003. The album was an hour-long track divided into four parts. Dopesmoker has been widely praised as one of the best albums of the 2000s and is often considered one of the best albums in the stoner metal genre.

Sleep went on an indefinite hiatus in 1998 and didn't reunite until 2009. They have since released two EPs, The Clarity (2014) and The Sciences (2018).

An interesting fact about Sleep is that they are credited as one of the pioneering bands of the stoner metal genre, along with Kyuss and Monster Magnet.
