Sleep
Jerusalem

If you are looking for a band that best represented the doom-stoner scene of the '90s and still haven't found it, Sleep will put your mind at ease.
With two albums plus one released posthumously, this "Jerusalem" indeed, Sleep represented the essence of the most essential and minimalist doom-stoner, yet at the same time unparalleled. No band was able to best express a genre of music that was too saturated and exploited only during the period when it was convenient to throw in 2 or 3 solid guitar chords, ensuring a circle of fans willing to do anything to purchase the album that would later end up in a pile destined to collect dust for the next 20 years.

Sleep are outside all this, and they proposed a different sound, more claustrophobic, at the limits of the conceivable while maintaining an originality that allowed the combo to distance themselves a bit from the scene.
This album, released in '99 on Rise Above, contains a single 52-minute track, among monolithic riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and suffocated vocals to the extreme.

A composition to listen to at high volume and in complete silence, perhaps in the throes of some post-smoke effects, with the warning that you might even fall asleep, but immediately after waking up, you'll put your CD player back in operation to start the ride along "Gerusalem" again, maybe aboard your stoned-camel...
Uncomparable.
