Matt Pike

[geetarboy]

So, I’ve been listening to some heavy music recently after a long absence from that scene and discovered the works of Matt Pike – Sleep and High On Fire. Damn, the guy is a powerhouse. He’s like the evil son of Tony Iommi on meth. He’s got a serious right hand and can really lock into a groove. Just wondered if anyone else was a fan.

If you like your metal thick, I highly recommend High on Fire - Death Is This Communion and Sleep - Holy Mountain.

Sleep was the soundtrack to my life for about two years. High On Fire is pretty spectacular as well.

The rythm section of sleep has started a band called OM. There about the heaviest sound I've heard live. As far as sleep I recomend Jerusalem Aka Dopesmoker

OM is amazing-there is also a new band with Al from sleep/Om-Scott from Neurosis, Dale from the Melvins and Wino called shrinebuilder-

Dopesmoker is a better, different mix of Jerusalem-hunt it down for Sonic Titan alone
Ancestors is a new band you should check out as well
