Metal and Beer Pairing #6: Sleep - Dopesmoker

Happy 4/20 humble weedians! Drop out of life with me as I review and defend the ultimate stoner doom album: Sleep's Dopesmoker! Get ready as I tackle this hour long song and ponder it's deeper meaning. Crack open a beer, take a puff or a rip and prepare to follow the smoke!
I do not own any of the music used in this video! All rights go to the epic Drune! Check them out on Bandcamp: drunedrunedrun...
Here is the song used in the video; Drune - Giant's Blood: • DRUNE - Giant's Blood
Of course, here is the almighty Dopesmoker: • Sleep - Dopesmoker

Great review man! A damn classic in the stoner genre, template defining making way for other bands to carve out from.

Rick I knew I could count on you to back me up! I think this album did a lot for the genre and it’s great that it’s finally getting more recognition in the past couple of years

To me, it is almost like a journey through a desert. Largely why I like that album cover. Very consistent, and I agree, rhythmic on a smaller scale than typical rise to final chorus, then fall to the end

[@metalandbeersnob]

I definitely agree with your take! The question is do you like it 🤔?

[@Thebioknight]

@@metalandbeersnob Yes. I do. It is the only Sleep song I've listened to though
