| Any other fans? I have recently discovered these guys. For those who don't know Sleep is like this classic stoner band who I think are excellent. Members went on to form High On Fire which is a decidedly faster, more metal, yet excellent (IMO) band. If you want to know where to start I would recommend Sleep's Sleep's Holy Mountain. Dragonaught is a killer. For High on Fire Death Is This Communion is very very good RIYL The Sword http://www.myspace.com/rifffilledland

| I love Holy Mountain and the Vol. 2 EP by SLEEP. Both are classics of the genre, IMO.  I owned all of their other releases at one point, but they never really blew up my skirt all that much. HIGH ON FIRE didn't really impress me, but I haven't heard everything they've done. I had Blessed Black Wings and Surrounded By Thieves at one time and traded them both off. |

| I have yet to hear HIGH ON FIRE (yeah, they're on the list, too), but I love SLEEP! I've got Holy Mountain. Got my sights set on Dopesmoker and Jerusalem, too... So much doom, so little time... sigh...  |

| HOF is good, but SLEEP is where it's at for me.... HOF never really sunk in with me, but it has been a while since I gave them any attention...

| Up. I'm a complete High On Fire junkie. I think Matt Pike is one of the most interesting guitarists out there...a very "outside" player...sort of the Ornette Coleman of metal. I also think he's really Lemmy's bastard son... It took me awhile to completely "get" what they were all about (a mark of a great band IMO) but once I got hooked, man... They are heading back into the studio and plan on having a new album out by the end of the year. |
