{"title":"Sleep Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eSleep 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSleep'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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSleep 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSleep 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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sleep-sleeps-holy-mountain-40914","title":"Sleep – Sleep's Holy Mountain","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease date: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 January 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleep’s Holy Mountain, released in 1992\/1993, is a landmark in stoner-doom metal. The album marries slow, heavy riffs, hypnotic repetition, and blues-derived tonalities into a dense, ritualistic soundscape. Al Cisneros’ bass and vocals serve as both grounding and trance device, while Matt Pike’s guitar work alternates between crushing distortion and mournful leads. Chris Hakius’s drumming complements the slow grooves with space and tension. Throughout its nine tracks—“Dragonaut,” “The Druid,” “Aquarian,” “Holy Mountain,” “From Beyond,” and more—the album balances heaviness and melody, capturing both cosmic ambition and meditative resolve. \nHoly Mountain is often hailed as Sleep’s defining full-length. It arrived at a moment when stoner metal was still coalescing, and many regard it as one of the genre’s foundational documents. Its influence ripples through generations of riff-driven, psychedelic metal and doom bands. The record’s ability to fuse sublime heaviness with spiritual aspiration has earned it enduring status in underground metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“While Sleep is more obvious about their roots than their fellow forebears, they still pushed the
