	Sleep
		SLEEP disbanded soon after as a result, but the unreleased Jerusalem recordings gathered legendary status among the Stoner Rock cognescenti.
		Sleep debuted with 1991's ‘Volume One’ album, recorded for small San Francisco Indie label Tupelo, who had earlier hit paydirt by picking up the rights to Nirvana's 'Bleach' in Europe.
		San Jose's Stoner Rock legends Sleep evolved in the early 90's from the Crust Punk band Asbestos Death which was established by Cisneros, Hakius and guitarist Tom Choi.

	The Badger Herald - University of Wisconsin-Madison
		Originally titled “Jerusalem,” this bombastic song (an album in itself, clocking in at more than 63 minutes) was a gift from doom rock gods Sleep to their fans and basically ended the group’s recording career.
		The (anti)climax of the album is this beautifully droning two-chord piano-and-voice duet — a sort of sad, nostalgic, psychological travelogue.
		The album has become a rarity, popping up online for around $50 a pop, “Dopesmoker” is definitely not for the weak of heart or the easily distracted.

	Aquarius Records: Search Results for Keyword:
		Sleep's last album, the infamous "Jerusalem", consisted of but one, super-long super-slow track.
		This is the CD reissue of the first HNAS album, "Abwassermusik" which was a collaboration with the equally obtuse Mieses Gegonge - a German outfit that produced a few compilation tracks and cassettes in the mid-'80s and not much else.
		To boot, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the album, and four titles from Eno's back catalogue are at long last receiving their much needed reissue.

	BNR Metal Pages -- High On Fire
		In their time, Sleep attained cult status as one of the leaders in sludgy stoner doom, culminating with the 52-minute song (and album) Jerusalem.
		High On Fire is ex-Sleep guitarist Matt Pike's new band, and the debut album, The Art Of Self Defense, carries on the Sleep tradition.

	Boris
		Like Sleep, Boris was ultimately inspired by the Melvins (in particular the Lysol album) and Earth.
		It must be noted that Absolutego was recorded and released (in Japan) Before Sleep recorded Jerusalem!!!
		This is not to discredit or belittle those godz, but to shed light on the fact that BORIS is indeed the real deal.

		This song captures the ontological musings of the album as a whole by presenting the Descartian notion that our reality is actually a dreamscape.
		An epic song cuts deep and has a very real effect; these are not light plastic pop tumors that go platinum.

		And undoubtedly, their epochal song/album Jerusalem (which was reissued a couple of ears ago as a longer, superior mix under the track's original name Dopesmoker) serves as an aural high water mark for stoners looking to bang heads in time with their bong hits.
		No, not your forty winks, we mean the mighty stoner metal behemoth that was San Jose's Sabbath n' sweet leaf worshippers Sleep.
		Sadly, the fracas surrounding the album - namely the fact that major label London was kind of pissy about the trio taking two years and a six figure advance and returning with the highly unmarketable end result - imploded the band.

		After securing a major-label advance for their second album (lore has it that the band actually smoked its way through the money in fairly short order), Sleep delivered “Jerusalem,” an album consisting of single, glacially slow, mind-melting 52-minute meditation on marijuana and the Old Testament.
		Singers of stoner rock typically fall into one of two categories: the laid-back surfer type and the smoker’s-cough kind who also sounds like he’s straining to move a week’s worth of bowel backup.
		A large part of stoner rock’s popularity stems from the music as kind of a shibboleth, a self-referential loop predicated on something most fans and musicians can both agree on without too much haggling over specifics.

	The Village Voice: Status Ain't Hood
		The trio's credentials are impeccable: frontman Matt Pike previously led the doom-metal giants Sleep, whose final album, Jerusalem, was just one 52-minute song, and new bassist Joe Preston was a member of grunge OGs the Melvins.
		Preston, meanwhile, looked like Lungfish's Dan Higgs after a summer spent working on Alaskan oil rigs, grizzly beard and piercing eyes and slept-in clothes.
		But more importantly, the band's thunderous roar, though undiluted to these ears, is catholic enough to make sense to anyone with a few Black Sabbath and Metallica tapes lying around her apartment.

	Head Heritage Unsung Album of the Month Sleep - Dopesmoker
		Fortunately for all of us, Justin Marler’s decision to enter a monastery soon after the release of the first Sleep album dramatically changed the sound of the group, and in a manner that could never have been anticipated.
		JERUSALEM, or the lyrical coming-of-age of ‘Al Cisneros’
		So here’s the dope, dopes Once upon a time, there was a punk rock band called Asbestos Death who came from San Jose that featured Luke Cisneros (bass, vocals), Chris Hakius (drums) and Tom Choi (guitar).

		You can't give full credit to Sleep for inventing stoner rock, but they did help perfect the shotgun wedding of doom metal and Sabbath inspired licks alongside Kyuss and Monster Magnet (first couple of records only) around the late '80s/early '90s.
		Variations on a Theme is an appropriate title as well, as the band hardly diverges from one central idea over the course of the albums three tracks.
