Sleep – The Sciences
With the length of time that has elapsed since Sleep released Jerusalem, it would be logical to think that with the passage of time, Sleep’s ability to forge earth-crushing riffs might have diminished. But no, The Sciences can stand beside Holy Mountain and the aforementioned Jerusalem. It is, in the best possible way, exactly what you’d…

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: SLEEP @ Danforth Music Hall, July 30, 2018
Man, this was the fifth time I’ve seen Sleep since 2010…and the first time they played any new material.

Sleep – The Sciences
Those sneaky bastards! After being my most-anticipated album for the past two or three years in a row, Sleep finally released their first full-length of new material in 20 years secretly, with no advanced fanfare, on 4/20. Because of course. The Sciences spans 53 minutes, and finally sees a proper studio recording of long-time live-set…

BOOK REVIEW: Why We Sleep
Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams Written by Matthew Walker Published by Allen Lane It was always thought that the three pillars of health were diet, exercise and sleep.

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: TOP 10 CONCERTS OF 2016

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: SLEEP @ The Phoenix, January 22, 2016
Seeing Sleep at The Phoenix wasn’t just another gig–it was a religious experience. Let’s just say there might have been more than one bearded dude bowing down to the almighty riff last night. And when the whole band came in at the beginning of “Dopesmoker,” everybody up front started headbanging in unison, like a buncha…

Om @ The Opera House – June 19th, 2015
HELLBOUND.CA @ NXNE 2015 Immense expressiveness. Power, boldness, no need for pomp at all. I don’t believe anybody could really sum this kind of performance up in a screen-friendly number of words, but that’s coming close. Sometimes we say “expert musicianship” when we want to say a performer is incredibly impressive. Also it seems those…

High on Fire – Lumniferous
Y’know, I kinda wish I hadn’t read that interview with Matt Pike where he says this album’s about saving The Illuminati from aliens before I heard Lumniferous. Evidently, the dude dropped out of life with bong in hand a long time ago. But High on Fire, they still bring it, maaaaaan… This record comes growling…
