Album Notes & Community Reviews

A monolithic pillar of the 90s stoner metal scene, 'Sleep's Holy Mountain' is an incredibly heavy, fuzz-soaked homage to early Black Sabbath. The band utilizes deeply hypnotic, repetitive doom riffs and highly rhythmic drumming to construct an epic, psychedelic, and fantasy-laden atmosphere.
