Sleep - Antarcticans Thawed || live @ Roadburn / 013 Tilburg || 14-04-2012

[@josephlara2339]

Still here in 2021. This is the band that taught me to appreciate tube amps, fuzz, good cabinet selection, the value of moving air in bass, huge dark crash cymbals, Rickenbackers. Love this forever.

[@Morbid.Angel710]

Here with you brother man! Cheers!

[@hyperluminalreality1]

This song stunned the crowd. They became SILENT. They took a good while to finally clap and cheer at the end. That is the best you could ask for as a heavy musician. They just blew away the entire audience.

[@DemonAdvance]

In my opinion this is the greatest sleep song.

[@m.s.35]

It's like a short-form Dopesmoker with better production

[@abick8725]

This is just pure awesome

[@aldersmoke1]

At the mountains of madness, indeed.

[@gregge.curtisaia6701]

Whom ever shot this footage needs to be commended! Pure Excellence!

[@kkpgijsbers]

Thank you sir! But you should praise the band, they did the real work. :-)

[@kkpgijsbers]

The Roadburn vibe is the most amazing vibe you'll get at any festival ever. Totally unique.

[@NLDrummerNL]

Truth! They delivered again this year. 🤯😍

[@ANUNNATEMPLE]

Lyrics: Ice cap miles thaw to freedom Sets free Antarctic legion Awake limbs, to reach a sun's rays Blood thaws throughout the unused veins Antarcticans near the titan's base Matterhorn's climb initiates Mountain's highest point receives Boards the sky-barge to cross sky-sea Matterhorn's children set free From slab arise stoned priest Hierophant sun prevails Windship at last now sails Glaciers formate upon the ice age siege Walk the icebergs toward cities Glaciers formate upon the ice age siege Rise the icebergs as peace machines

[@Calle210]

Damnit I need to see Sleep live and bask under the weight of the riff

[@julianmoreyra1721]

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nathantosta196]

Uncle Acid and the Electric Wizard What happens is, that characteristic droning guitar riff literally fills your bones..like from the inside out. That sensation can only be experienced live.

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

I seen em in 2016. Epic shit.

[@sambriddon3271]

I ssw them may 2018. Epicest gig I've ever been too. Nothing prepares you for how loud it gets.

[@fried_out]

Did you manage to see them??

[@ericedwards3472]

I’m getting ready to deploy to Antarctica , and this is all I can think about !

[@Morbid.Angel710]

Beware of THE ANTARTICANS!

[@StukaSteven]

@@Morbid.Angel710 nice seeing you here

Man i wish they recorded this! I come back everytime just to listen to this song, i love it

[@australopithecus1118]

You got your wish!

[@TheStahlzee]

I just found out about sleep about 6 months ago and love it!!

[@josephlara2339]

still here in 2022 and 10 years on from when i first saw this video

[@berserkur19]

For the love of god! Sleep PLEASE make another album!

[@donnieb.8515]

This is so good! These guys are such great musicians. And the stage show is so unique. Absolutely love this! Wish I could have been there!

[@ChristerTuomivuo]

Was there...

[@wickedweeblewobble]

seen SLEEP performed as the opening band for neurosis in '92. yes, they have those insane orange cab as tall as those green ones behind al, and everyone in that small casbah venue in san diego, CA, was like, "what the fuck...!" as it took three to four dudes to heave them orange beasts onto the stage. after SLEEP's set is done, the delayed applause was much like the one in this video where everyone's senses were crushed! love it then, and i love everything in this video now!

[@devchemist]

I love when shit like this is so real and good that you don't see any suckers leaving rude comments.

[@robertm6312]

I don’t think al’s bass sound has ever been better! Fuckin sounds like a digeridoo

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

Buttcrack his sonictitan balls thawed

[@Rattlehead300]

They need to put together another album. awesome song.

[@ClassicColtCabana]

this is crushing

[@admit2nothing]

Damn I'd like to be in an auditorium just like that with one of those IMAX super duper wrap-around movie screens with that film of the glaciers and Sleep playing live!

[@abick8725]

When I first saw the video behind the band, I had the exact same thought. I don’t smoke weed anymore, but also thought a nice spliff might enhance the experience. 🥶😵‍💫😊

[@TomBrom323]

Crazy to see Pike playing Laney’s and what looks to be a Sunn Model T instead of his usual wall of Orange’s

[@particle808]

I hope they keep playing shows. LOVE this BAND!!!

[@Kyussfan96]

this is way more exciting than a new sound garden record haha!!

Is Sleep planning to record a new album at all? Because I'd love to hear this song on that album

[@nijamagi1031]

In six year it will release

[@SanskarWagley]

@@stikkisoxx haha now I do, the original comment was 8 years ago

[@snailordskates384]

@@SanskarWagley glad you got see it come true

[@jahanders]

Is there a video of the drone intermission somewhere? Cant seem to find it?

[@LordFreakus]

Nope, haven't found it (yet)... But they have more shows planned, maybe someone will record it on a future show. It was very hypnotic :D

[@cjlethal38]

This is incredible... but I really miss Chris Hakius on drums. He was TRULY Sleep's backbone.

[@dudonaut]

now that was a really epic performance of that song! They should have released it on the 2012 Dopesmoker reissue..

[@fertuiee]

Matt Pike playing a Sunn 0))) model T - Tone.

[@jahanders]

Ill try to shoot as much as possible at the stockholm show next sunday :)

[@MasthaX]

This was an amazing show, really enjoyed it! Not to mention all the other bands besides sleep who took our trip way up in space.

[@TheRealHumanist]

It's actually pretty high quality for a live recording off of a camera's internal sound card. Either the PA is extremely awesome or the camera's card is, I suspect a bit of both.

[@fonzybrookestone727]

AWESOME jam!!!!!

[@kkpgijsbers]

Thanks!

[@furnacefire]

Ty for this upload!

[@wickedweeblewobble]

yep. that's jason roeder of neurosis in this one. i was talking about how chris was a monster back in the day, bro :)

[@orkandbt]

holy shit sleeps drummer posted that correction aweeesoomeeeeee

[@wickedweeblewobble]

oh dude...thanks for that observation. you ARE right :( i wonder why the band decided not to have them there. maybe its because they are in tilburg, and not the USA? you are also right about chris hakius. he looked like a demon pounding away at the kit back in the day :)

[@PlektrumFighter]

"Does anyone have a joint without tobacco?"

[@TacticaISpork1]

*never released. They almost definitely got at least a rough cut recorded.

[@kkpgijsbers]

The PA is awesome at this venue. The soundcard in the camera is pretty decent. I know my previous camera wouldn't have been able to handle these volumes. Roadburn broke the mic on that one in 2011. :-)

[@kkpgijsbers]

Of course. Thanks.

[@dubhead666]

i was never so proud to say I was there

[@cjlethal38]

Those kind of look like Ampeg bass amps and cabs behind Al....

[@lSTAYHlGH]

anyone know how pike gets that tone? envelope filter?

[@julianmoreyra1721]

It's a phaser.

[@KCgrill]

my speakers cant handle this -.-

[@MegaWalrus100]

ok this fucking rules!

[@jahanders]

They totally should, instead of the bootleg quailty "Holy Mountain" track. Dont get me wrong, love that live version..but..this would have been so much cooler.

[@matt062286]

That's Jason Roeder. Chris left the band in 08 or 09 I think

[@jasmaxi1]

matt062286 Chris left just after the ATP 2009 reunion. He can’t play anymore because of his knees.

[@sundarvs108]

so stonedly i tried to favorite this and hit the "flag as inapproriate" button

[@Keskusrikospoliisi]

Maybe your speakers suck if you dont hear that very loud bass sound over all other sounds because the audio is too bassy.

[@BBDartCA1]

Absolutely lethal stuff. No surprise it comes out of the Dopesmoker era. 6:26 makes me wonder if they made a deal with the devil it sounds so wicked. Somehow Pikes beer gut & ass crack adds authenticity to this. Although this is probably the pinnacle of Sleep, Cisneros & Pike do not show the intensity they do in their own bands. Not that trance like state you see with Om or screaming inensity with HOF (especially the early stuff). Maybe jet lagged or bad bud.

[@michelegiaimeserra1128]

BBDartCA1 maybe they don't need all that intensity for sleep. maybe for them sleep is like a trance.
