Sleep - Sonic Titan

[paramedixation]

This is my favorite metal song. It's also my favorite Sleep song.

[icedteaburst]

lolz i thought i said satanic titanic, wtf.

[prettyinink1000]

I don't give a fuck what anyone says. I fucking love Sleep. It's the perfect music to play while getting a tattoo.

[thatguy13346]

why are there so many people saying "buy the album" on sleep video's?do you know how hard it is to find a sleep album these days?

[Earthling100101011]

@thatguy13346 very true

[EmilioCasavegas]

@thatguy13346 It may be hard if you live in some hick-ass small town, but I know a few record stores in Minneapolis that have it.

[thatguy13346]

@EmilioCasavegas actually i live in new zealand and ive looked everywhere,not everyone is american.

[EmilioCasavegas]

@thatguy13346 My bad.

[unwashedmusician0]

@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.

[thatguy13346]

@unwashedmusician0 yea same aye dont live in aucks either,i cant find shit on trade me but i know a cd shop in whangarei that could ,thats the closest to me

[unwashedmusician0]

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

[thatguy13346]

@unwashedmusician0 that sucks bro even if we do track some albums down they will be expensive as

[maxair95]

Would be nice to see Sleep playing Sonic Titan live.

[TheBigCheeseSauce]

A warrior covered in flames, on a 4-headed race horse with a helmet, a sword, and a lizard tongue is gonna haunt my mind until I'm in the fucking ground. epic!

[AngryPigFetus]

Listening to rap makes me angry, this music makes me wanna get stoned/ trip heavy, and hit the streets listening to it...

[bille77]

Most Sleep songs sound alike....

[c1r2b33]

amazing -.-

[deathmetalben]

fucking heaviest shit.. sleep will always be my favourite stoners

[jebatistobogof]

can anyone upload the lyrics?

[PisauraXTX]

That riff at 7:22... I think I just found God.

[MrKarpator]

I just wanna punch someone in the face after listening to this...

[JesusPrototype]

Sleep make nightmares :P

[TheBelzebuddha]

@JesusPrototype I've been a listener of Sleep and Om for a big while and I had just NO NIGHTMARES, so quit it, fellow. :->

[PisauraXTX]

This is one of their very best songs. I wonder why they didn't release it on SHM.

[MATEOTL86]

i feel like i'm melting

[dudonaut]

can anyone pls post the lyrics for Sonic Titan? cause i couldnt find any lyrics on google :/

[udrugaSimbioza666]

what a track... I love it :)

[XxCJBxX11]

where can you even find this album?

[Adam1Westover]

i thought there were no tracks on dopesmoker. its just one hour long mega-track called dopesmoker

[TalonWolf]

@Adam1Westover Yep. 'Dopemsoker' is basically a semi-bootleg album. They tried submitting it to the record label, but they refused as it was 'unmarketable'.

They ended up disbanding due to the ordeal, but released 'Jerusalem' through an independent label with the songs split into several tracks following the same formula of 'Dopesmoker'. It differs slightly, but is essentially the same.

'Dopesmoker' is a bootleg album, hence why some versions have the live bonus tracks, and others don't.

[Otuness]

When I listened to this stoned, all I heard from Matt's riffs were overtones, all those fucking hard to hear harmonics. You hear them all the time, example at 3:06.

Pot can do some fucking amazing things... This also made me realise that every type of sound has hidden overtones..... Am I weird or still high by the way?..

[dirtyboy601]

@Otuness both, but there is nothing wrong with that

[rabbitspliff]

@Otuness i listened to evil gypsy/solomon's theme, stoned, and it made me notice the errm.... well, shit i can't really describe, so much more. the great thing is, now that i know what to listen for, i can appreciate that when not stoned aswell. so i don't think that's weird.

[AvantGrapes]

@rabbitspliff don't have to be on anything to enjoy this song man.

[rabbitspliff]

@AvantGrapes i wasn't sayin you had to. just sayin that one listen to a song when baked can open your eyes to all its nuances that you didn't notice before. besides, what people choose to take or not to take is a personal choice.

[friedeaglemindify]

Two people were so stoned that they accidentally hit the 'dislike' button

[diarreahchacha]

delicious. 

[TheSilentAstronaut]

earthless must have been inspired by this song. especially the ending.

[oregonghostwave]

Used to trudge through mud building houses in the rain to keep the rich dry, hanging on to this shit like a buoy to keep me from smashing into the jetty rocks of despair (i.e. the emergency bottle of whiskey in my van). May this music last longer than those piles of sawdust and glue, bitchez!

[sydbarrett5]

This is going to be my next record purchase.

[gunhaver1000]

Ya know, I don't smoke weed, but Sleep has gotta be my favorite band, if not one of them. I laugh when someone says you have to be high to appreciate this music...on a side note, the bass from 0:17 to 0:55 is fuckin' epic!

[livingbackwards000]

@gunhaver1000

thanx for saying that! you're soooo right!

[livingbackwards000]

@gunhaver1000

[PisauraXTX]

@gunhaver1000 What do you mean from 0:17 to 0:55? it's fucking epic throughout the whole song and on every single other Sleep piece!

[antraxbreakfest69]

@gunhaver1000 i smoke weed and i agree with you. you dont gotta have drugs to enjoy and respect a good tune. unless its bieber but even then when im on some good ass shit i want someone to hit me in the head with a blunt object.

[Thepic]

I like 0:00-9:16

[ManilaSyndicate]

Good song. Sleep's one of the all-time great Stoner Rock bands.

[Gagi420]

This next one, is a brand new song..... It's called Sonic Titan.....

[thirdwheel]

The solo beginning at 7:54 is one of Pike's best.

[wsyffarn72]

Sleep's Holy Mountain is one of the most influential albums of all time.

[bkrbtlg08]

Gonna see them on the 7th of September...can't wait. Too bad Chris isn't on drums anymore, but I'm sure the guy stepping in his shoes has alot to offer.

[redsplash168]

This song is sure worthy of it's name.

[shotgunsuicide3]

Now this is fucking awesome. It's so fucking raw. God, this is how they should record all of their music.

[Kylev2]

This and Holy Mountain are my favourite Sleep songs.

[sydbarrett5]

YES YES YES

[corkskrewclubhouse93]

very Master of Reality-like

[iamdeathmarine]

daaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAmN! THESE GUYS ARE EPIC.

[Malla07]

Fuckin' heavy !!! Awesome shit !!!! \m/

[piratepantsfromhell]

I own the fucking album. If you don't like the bass solo bit, take it up with Al Cisneros.

[shalbus]

wtf did you do to the bass solo? crap editing...

[Switchfifty]

Nothing, all i was upload the wav. file.

[Switchfifty]

But if you still feel like bitching, you can go fucking buy the album like everyone else.

[Switchfifty]

I do, try it

[damonfortune2]

@shalbus if your going to leave bitch ass comments like that ohh cut off bass, stupid shit like that then yea, get the fuck outta here man. the songs still rad and your still a fool for leaving such a stupid comment

[forestrootshakyknees]

@Switchfifty

you don't have to buy anything anymore. this is the internet, we have .zip's and .rar's

[666CthulhuIsMyBitch]

@forestrootshakyknees You don't have to buy it, but a band like Sleep is worth supporting, so you should buy it anyway.

[tokokuken]

@shalbus LOL. Bass solo? I thought they were trying to find the brown noise.

JK Sleep is one of my favorite bands of all-time. People say music like this makes them angry. I don't get it. Music like this PREVENTS me from getting angry. I just sort of groove around and bob my little head and think about how happy I am that I'm listening to Sleep instead of some gay band that the kids like.

[BoogieDownBiggee30]

@tokokuken Angry? I've never heard that before, but I live in San Jose, which is full of "Gangster" douchebags, so I've never had the chance to talk about Sleep with anyone else. I sure as hell don't get angry listening to them, but it's hard to be angry when you're fucking stoned.

[IndeclineKills]

there heaver than the sunn O)))))))))

[kingofkashiwa]

@IndeclineKills

where? There? There on the stair?



[b0xD]

Loving this guitar tone. It's so fuckin' nasty, I could listen to it all day.

[Stenolofanders]

Tuned in Ö-minor, if I'm not misstaken

[DrGonzoOBoogie]

awesome band

[otusqueeky1]

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

[b0xD]

@otusqueeky1 Exactly what I was feelin' man, good to see some people are still keepin' it real

[mrcolin]

his voice reminds of napolean dynamite at the beginning. gawh!

[SanguineUltima]

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.

[thecondor7]

Damn! Garage Metal at it's finest! I love this!

[tyvegutt]

What the fuck is up with the crowd? Is it only one person or what?

[Switchfifty]

lol

[Switchfifty]

They're all stoned

[papyschultz]

@Switchfifty

vote up 666!!!! ahahah

[66Vulcan66]

@Switchfifty Lolz

[snubbs741]

crowd? this is live in the studio

[myownservant]

actually its from this show: Berkeley, California, 10/17/1992...

[Thekidinblack1]

@myownservant That's my birthday, except two years early.

[NjalIansson]

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

[joshgallman1]

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

[Megamaniac610]

@tyvegutt It just means the sound guy did a good job of keeping the mic on Sleep and only Sleep.

[binary132]

damn the compression is so annoying around the 4 minute mark

[firefox40]

Anyone have any idea on where to find the lyrics? I can't find them anywhere.

[newkdawg3000]

can anyone understand what he is singing?

[UHFBANDJAMS]

help me...

I Like This Band Too Much

[cementcadaver]

so what is

[uck1007]

you fucking retard

[schnudelbause]

me too!

[isopik]

So glad I found these guys. Simply amazing.

[sts1285]

you can really hear the sabbath influence in there.

[smallwatermelonz]

riffs in the end are good

[Monkey13340]

god man this is freakin great...ahh

[stopglobalswarming]

This band should experiment with Rockabilly/psychobilly music. They would own the world on a gutbucket or stand up bass and some brassy hollowbody guitars.

[SuicideNation]

*facepalm*

[Bricked]

This band no longer exists...

[stopglobalswarming]

Really? They broke up?

[svd90]

@stopglobalswarming

yeah, about 12 years ago now...

However, they played last year on some festival, and they will be playing this year!

[dirtpile26]

So good!!! I agree with "GREAT drinking music"! :D

[ShogunRua19]

sleep kicks ass like no other man

[RedMadDead]

The part from 3:53 till 5:40 is just so damn awesome!

[staticpeoplemusic]

sleep is GREAT drinking music

matt pike is amazing ... saw him w/high on fire and opeth

great show... smoked 6 joints during high on fire's set with security watching my ass the whole time

i'm kinda pissed they didn't play hung drawn and quarterd

great set though ...

cheers beers n weed

[sid8680]

you had to get a thumbs up on that...............you're describing what heaven would look like!!!! joint ....n high on fire and opeth and your ass!!!!!

[marlom2312]

@staticpeoplemusic thats my favorite tune of theirs too!!!

[sontbly]

godamn love that vintage guitar sound in the opening riffs, fucking cant beat this shit!

[myownservant]

for those wondering, this song was recorded in Berkeley, California on 10/17/1992

[thisiswar7777]

were you there man?

[myownservant]

sadly i wasnt, i was 5 years old at the time

[flexorlamonticus]

@myownservant The year they finally let me out of high school !!!!

[krookroorocket]

I just discovered stoner metal and it's pretty good shit (most of what I've heard, anyway)

[SacredCow669]

Same... it's everything I loved about Sabbath times 1000 in sonic power and trance.

[krookroorocket]

internet hgih five

[werepyne]

yah dude same hear

[friendofyourenemies]

so romantic.

[kooche911]

these guys are fuckin deace remind me of kyuss and electric wizard combined

[krookroorocket]

I think "Dece" is a bit of an understatement

[CocoaShunter]

this is a stoner death voyage if ive ever heard one, beautiful.

[spyke45690]

I cut my teeth to heavy metal and just recently found out about the Stoner Metal genre, I love sleep, you can deffinetly hear some sabbath influencein there, it's hard to find cd's or mp3's

[svd90]

Sleep is Fucking amzing

just got Dopesmoker on vinyl :)

[squirehendrix]

Nice

[papagriz4003]

thats probably true

[papagriz4003]

its a shame like no one knows about sleep. theyre so fucking badass

[Switchfifty]

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

[4EKAdeathbox]

Sonic Titan is AWESOME

[FUNKEYED]

Hell yeah I love some sleep.

[HVF12]

Just listen to Matt shred! This is one of the few doom metal songs I've heard where the solo is really fast.

[InT0LeR4nCe]

[Switchfifty]

Indeed, sounds so crisp and gigantic live haha

[zeroskater1235]
