Sleep’s Holy Mountain to be Reissued Next Month

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 6th, 2009 by JJ Koczan

Classic.Blabbermouth has the story, but here’s the good part of it:

Acclaimed San Jose, California stoner doom metal band Sleep will have its classic Earache debut album, Holy Mountain, reissued on June 16. The special edition will feature the Black Sabbath cover “Snowblind” as a bonus track along with a video for the song “Dragonaut” video. Rare photos will also be included in the package.

That’s right folks, Sleep’s Holy Mountain is getting reissued with the video for the song “Dragonaut” video (hello, grammar!). Not too much in the way of bonus material — especially when there’s that whole Vol. 2 vinyl selling for $100+ on eBay just ripe for inclusion — but whatever. It’s still Sleep, and if this gets in the hands of some of those mall kids with the stupid anime hair, then fine. Maybe if they sell a shit ton of copies they’ll tour the US. This is me holding my breath.
