Expected release October 30

As the genre-defying masters of stoner metal,
the latest iteration of Sleep finds founding
member and lead songwriter Al Cisneros
newly partnered with the generational talent
of Dale Crover (Melvins, Redd Kross) on
drums and the iconoclastic Bubba Dupree
(Void) on guitar. While simpler minds may
seek out the redundancy of a monotonous
iterative exercise, the road map of new album
Hempispheres is an exploratory vision, one
replacing overload with nuance and subtlety
yet maintaining the interplay that made the
band so special from the outset. So while the
discourse on messageboards and comment
sections bemoan the amicable absence of
long-time guitarist Matt Pike, real heads,
visionaries and open-minded truth-seekers
alike will be rewarded with not the Sleep
album they anticipated or expected, rather
with Hempispheres being the album that is needed.
