#245 - SLEEP - Inside The Metal Metal Nerdery Podcast

Before OM and High On Fire, there was the marijuana infused, Sabbath worshipping, stoner metal power trio hailing from San Jose, California known as SLEEP. Just saying the name transports you to a land filled with THC infused riffs, the sweet aroma of sinsemilla, and enough smoke to indicate that the pyramid sized bong is fully loaded and ready to transport you to another dimension of audio stonerdom. 
 
Imagine Black Sabbath (circa Master of Reality) time traveling to SLEEP’s jam room in the early 90’s and bestowing upon them the knowledge of “the riff filled land” over a freshly ignited bowl of greens. Now add some retro sounding equipment boosted with the power of modern-day technology, tune the guitars and bass down even further, add way more fuzz and balls with a generous portion of freshly harvested relaxers and you’ve got the modern-day equivalent of Black Sabbath in their prime. SLEEP is such a powerful force that they are one of the few bands in the history of stoner metal to have sonically recreated what being supernaturally high actually sounds like.
 
Prepare for the Weedian pilgrimage across the endless desert of time toward “the riff filled land” with the cannabis caravan, complete with “all the shag carpet”, “all the wood paneling” and a jam room that likely resembles a “rumpus room” and “smells like 1976”. Find out what happens “when you’re expecting bubbles and you don’t get bubbles”, get ready to “go bumpski before the show”, and discover why getting “frontloaded” on “the most safe ‘less safe’ drug” is the only way to properly prepare when you JOIN US for a green tinted, smoke-filled trip INSIDE THE METAL with San Jose’s pioneers of stoner metal, SLEEP.
