Sleep - Sonic Titan

SLEEP IS A LIFE ALTERING BAND

[@bogoid]

it really is!

"Man on the moon cannot help me see"

[@halfbakedberserker]

Still my favorite version of this song. Nothing against the version on the album the sciences, just like this one better.

[@Linedelm]

Al was younger, vocals sound more sabbathy. Also matts tone is different. All together more raw

[@DaarthPingas]

the album version is lackluster imo; this was at their prime and it shows. this song takes off like it's the drugs grabbing you by the hojos and throwing you into outer orbit.

[@NIB1306]

Both are good, why compare both versions anyway? They keep sounding like Sleep.

[@DankMangus]

Definitely. This is a little rough around the edges, but it's a little quicker and a lot heavier than the album version.

[@derekhenriquez5740]

Agreed, I like that it has a slightly faster tempo

[@HappyAngerMan]

I once quit smoking. I sat down and listened to holy mountain and rethought my life.

[@andrew_mcnevin]

I swear, you could get a team of 50 guitarists, give them the exact same guitar, setup, and amps as Matt Pike and they still couldn't produce something a tenth as heavy as what Matt Pike casually throws out there. Soul-crushingly heavy awesomeness.

EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIC

[@psco4963]

So within a year I get to see Black Sabbath, Kyuss (supported by no less than Red Fang and Orange Goblin) and Sleep. The three most important bands to stoner rock, all long broken up and they reunite just as I'm getting into the scene. Perfection.

[@SlipperyMeat97]

Lucky fuck

[@gavinmcwilliams1680]

psco4963 You mean Kyuss Lives?

[@firdeye2681]

Missing Electric Wizard. They're touring now. GO SEE THEM!

[@deepspacepilots]

I saw all three with original line-ups on their original runs. Which means...I’m old! ;)

[@norseman3514]

deepspacepilot your a god damned legend keep smoking bong rips and being ripped apart by heavy riffs.

[@marcoperalta6583]

If theres one song that survives Sleep this one has to be. The summary of their style, music, composition and even their spiritual beliefs all packed in a big giant sonic titan. Long live Sleep

[@SrNorske]

They're gonna release tomorrow (20/04/18) their new album (The Sciences) and Sonic Titan is finally recorded!

[@mdsnk6]

And compared to this sloppy live version, the album one sucks big time. I mean, how freaking slow can you play, and what for?

[@UhHellandDoomIguess]

This version of the song is my favorite, it sounds so heavy. Al’s rig was also really awesome and more bass-y back then. But like I mean, the new version and The Sciences in general is like SO GOOOOOOOD HOLY FUCK!

[@HendersonHinchfinch]

That is true to an extent. When I first started smoking weed it completely changed the way I listened to music. It made it sound sweeter and heard different layers that I never heard before. But after awhile it kind of becomes the same old same old. And then when I got sober, it all seemed like it did when I first started smoking lol.

[@lennyrose5852]

Punk rock In the wrong hands starting to see you everywhere, punk rock

[@otusqueaky]

How can anything so new sound so god damn vintage. Amazing how this is sounds like something that could've been recorded in woodstock, haha. Except for the huge amount of heaviness

[@ryanhale1654]

[@mikekoenig6467]

😂😂😂😂

[@brandonshoemaker4958]

The heaviest jam ever

[@jackelder6047]

The main difference I hear in this opposes to “the Sciences” version, is that there seems to be more open work going on the chordal work happening. You can hear a cleaner sound In this version, then in The Sciences, Which ultimately gives you more… Fuzzier doesn’t necessarily mean heavier.

[@666thrashallday]

Electric wizard and sleep are best listened to when high..

[@mikekoenig6467]

Sure bud 😀👍

[@eliel911]

A song I believe inspired that bass riff is Behind The Wall Of Sleep by Black Sabbath. If you haven't heard it before, go listen to it NOW. :D Great stuff man. I'm pretty sure that song is about sleep paralysis and out of body experiences/Astral projection.

[@getoffofmylawn666]

favorite sleep song

[@ptelseya1564]

This sonic titan has frenetic sound, I've not ever heard like this.. This great guys just do it with guitars.. and it's played HOW nice!! Thanks to hearing this!

One of their best.

I quit weed for a while then I listened to this banger and came back to it

very 'frankensteiney' skeleton jangle-ly sounding...very powerful like frankenstein monster...unstoppable...ponderous , intently oncoming stopping for nothing...awesome!... (i'm ole skool and i mean the boris karloff frankenstein from the movies in the 1930s movies)

[@metalstorm0]

This version is so much better than the new recording

[@GREENWARRI0R]

I really dig this version of the song, however it sounds a lot like Black Sabbath... newer version really made it their own and made it a ton heavier. Either way, a killer track.

[@dsfsdfsdfsdf80]

i accidently found this band high

[@mikekoenig6467]

Michael Tatt it wasnt an accident.

[@soulmachine56]

It's the only way this band can be found.

[@RoboHobo2112]

I've never listened to this music while high, but i look forward to it :)

it is the fucking best recording of that song ever. it felt like torture when i first listened to it in the sciences

So if Dopesmoker was the last Sleep album... and this was its final track... this is kinda like sleeps last song! How bittersweet crunchy these riffs.

true that, i put this up here in hopes that more people would hear about them and look into em'

I would turn this up louder, but the people around me get pissy when good music occurs.

guess you really need to look up Druid and its cover of it, a studio version that sounds more like this live version

@thatguy13346 I am in the south island... :(...since Real Groovy shut in Dunedin and CHCH I have no luck getting anything.

[@DopShard]

Sleep(and all stoner metal and some doom metal) is music for an underground culture of stoners. We listen to this music as a life style. I smoke everyday and still have all Bs and As in college and have a good job. It is a lifestyle many people dont understand and fear it because they compare it to real drug addicts. My boss has 2 masters and is friends with many professors (some at MIT) and he has been a regular smoker since yearly teenage years. Stoners arent what you think. Look at Carl Sagan

[@MATEOTL86]

i feel like i'm melting

[@josevertiz3]

its something along the lines" tonight we are going "to jam or something

[@NjalIansson]

@tyvegutt this is a studio live jam, not a show.

[@DopShard]

Lifestyle comes from the music one listen's to most of the time. Everyone is different. For me, i was a metalhead since early age, then i got into Stoner/Doom once I started somking marijuana. It sort of came along, I cant really tell you what I got into first, Weed or Stoner Metal.. Anyhow, I have a friend that was always a stoner and recently became a stoner/doom fan. On the other hand, I have had a girlfriend that would die for Electric wizard, but never smoked until she met me

[@ljcupra]

play this at my funeral

[@joshgallman1]

@tyvegutt they were all too stoned and blown away to figure out what was going on..haha

[@EnochOfficial]

@thatguy13346 Yeah dude same...maybe you could find it in Real Groovy in Auckland, but if like me you don't live in Auckland it sucks....keep an eye out on trademe.

[@alpinoterran]

Holy shit I'm impressed. I used to love this live rendition but after hearing the Sciences version this sounds way too fast and way too thin. I like how they were able to capitalize on the droney aspect of dopesmoker with the new album and Sonic Titan was no different.
