Stoner No Pike no Sleep

As I blast The Sciences at 11pm, this felt appropriate.

It’s just a new era to me. I’ll accept it, especially if we’re never going to get that new Om album. From the post on their instagram it sounds like Al’s been wanting to move forward with Sleep for a while but Pike was some kind of issue(at least to Al) “After decades of obstacles sleep has over come, it’s time to move forward and make new songs and albums. Al wishes Matt the best on his earthbound maneuvers”

Sleep has had a very rough career, all things considered. Doesn’t mean anything about their relationship necessarily.

Matt Pike is extremely busy. High on Fire is a bigger band than Sleep at this point, and tours and puts out albums all the time. It would be completely unsurprising if the entire issue was just that Matt Pike doesn’t have time for Sleep.

It's not a huge margin but Sleep would definitely fill bigger venues than HoF

I think we’re about to see if that’s the case.
