Sleep's break-up in 1997 was a bitter tragedy. They had just hit their preak, which was documented by their third album, Dopesmoker. (A.K.A. Jerusalem. Sort of... Eh, it's a long story.) They left a humongous void in the music universe, a void which was soon filled by hordes of unoriginal "stoner rock" wannabes. Guitarist Matt Pike quickly formed his own group, High On Fire. HOF is a great band and is quite reminiscent of Sleep, but Sleep it is not. Bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros and drummer Chris Hakius seemed to fall off the face of the Earth for a few years. Eventually Hakius returned in the Sabians, a band formed by Justin Marler, a former member of Sleep from their early days; he had left the group shortly after their 1991 debut "Volume One" was released. I personally don't care for the Sabians at all. If anything, they sound more like a watered down Tool than Sleep. Al Cisneros has remained MIA for all of these ensuing years. Until now!
