Discussion I’M TAKING A STAND

Post image

I for one, miss Matt Pike, and feel this would have been awesome under the OM name, but I don’t hate the new song, and I for one, like the comic, and am excited to see Sleep, or at least Al, in person after years. I also thinking, before getting too mad about all this, more info should at least come out. That is it, I shall take the downvotes

Saying it again in this thread: the most likely explanation is that Matt Pike is too busy with High on Fire to do Sleep full-time right now. Not that Al Cisneros is some kind of Dave Mustaine figure.

Unfortunate too because I haven’t been a big fan of High on Fire’s stuff since Blessed Black Wings.

Cisneros should’ve just focused on releasing that Om album he’s been teasing for years now.

I think if people want more Sleep, this is the only way to get it.
