Sleep next week in Helsinki

American stoner rock/ doom metal cult band SLEEP will offer one and only concert in Helsinki, Finland next week. The concert will take place at The Circus on April 11. The group released last year their excelent fourth studio album“The Sciences” via Third Man Records. SLEEP have been described by some critics as «perhaps the ultimate stoner rock band». The band’s sound has been characterised as stoner rock built upon slow, down-tuned bass playing alongside similarly low guitar riffs. Repetition is frequently employed, working to create a «hypnotic state» supplemented by Al Cisneros‘ vocals. SLEEP has used cannabis-influenced imagery since the release of their second album, often delivered in a «quasi-religious» manner. Finnish band PHARAOH OVERLORD will be opening this gig.
