jerusalem (13k image)

Sleep was an early band of the High of Fire guitarist. They made 3 records, the last one, Jerusalem, released only after they had disbanned.

Jerusalem consists of one track, at 52 minutes, a primal, repetative stoner riff that very nearly burns marijuana smoke out of your cd player as it plays; thunderous, neolithic, awesome.

My pal John found it used, we drove around listening to it last night, laughing at the magnitude of it, looking at suburbs while hearing this apocalyptic bong-rock.

the whole story of the band and this controversal recording is here:
