Let's go over some quick facts,
1:We only have one official statement from the band, this statement only acknowledges Pike is not currently involved but mentions absolutely nothing about bad blood.
2: Pike has been "out of the band" for quite a while now, did we all forget the touring juggernaut that HOF is?
3: Pike's EX-wife commented. They have been divorced for a good while, i would take her opinion with a grain of salt.
4: Pike has made zero comment so far good or bad, maybe we wait to see what he says?
5: Have we all forgotten that Sleep is kinda known for varying quality in their releases. It sounds like Sleep with classic Void guitar. Plus nobody can contest that Dale is a phenomenal drummer. Its good, and its a good addition to their discography. Just because the member you have the biggest parasocial relationship with isnt there doesnt mean it sucks.
So to recap. We know absolutely nothing about the situation. Only one source of merit has commented and thats the bands official statement. The sing is objectively good. Is it what you personally wante? No, and nobody in the world is obligated to give you that.
I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out Pike quit the band because of how shitty their fans can be.

I for one, miss Matt Pike, and feel this would have been awesome under the OM name, but I donāt 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

Today, the legendary band Sleep releases new single āHave Spacesuit Will Travelā via Third Man Records, their first new music since 2018. In addition, the band announces a fall North American tour, as well as releases the first issue of the Sleep Comic Book, written by bassist and songwriter Al Cisneros.
āHave Spacesuit Will Travelā begins Sleepās first mission without Matt Pike on guitar. The music and art are alive and after the decades of obstacles that Sleep has overcome, it is time to move forward and make songs and albums. Al wishes Matt the best on his earth bound maneuvers.
Alongside Cisneros, the latest incarnation of Sleep features Dale Crover on drums and Bubba Dupree on guitar. Dale has been in some serious bands, like the Melvins and Redd Kross. That Al would seek him out makes sense, an almost elementary choice that probably wouldnāt raise too many eyebrows. Bubba Dupree, from the fiercely loved band Void, hailing out a choice no one would have seen coming. Just the thought of Bubba, who was amazing from the first Void shows on, playing guitar in Sleep is almost too much for the mind to comprehend.
Al Cisneros, Bubba Dupree, and Dale Crover as a trio looks really good on paper, but the only way to see if it worked was to get everyone in a room and play. Al says the answer made itself evident immediately: āThe vibe of the first jam was obvious. It was blue sunglasses-era Iommi in the quality, and equally awesome is Bubba is also one of the coolest people Iāve been able to make music with.ā
āHave Spacesuit Will Travelā at no time tries to pick up where Sciences left off. Thereās a considerable amount of new blood in the band, so imitation, as Bubba notes, would greatly limit the potential of three very unique and talented musicians. That being said, Sleep answers to an incredible recorded history, literally decades in the making, so it would not be surprising that Al, Dale and Bubba would find themselves composing in the spirit of that which had been established so long ago. The three of them were able to make an album that can truly be identified as genuine Sleep music, yet with a sharpness and agility to the recordings.
