![]() While a few attempts at releasing the song/album have been launched in the past, both officially and unofficially, Southern Lord has recently released what is perhaps the closest to a complete version. Ultimately, London declined to release Dopesmoker and Sleep broke up. It is an awesome song if you can make it through to the end. Its lyrics are thoroughly stoned (Sample line: " Follow the smoke toward the riff-filled land"). Dopesmoker was intended to be one 63-minute song about pot-smoking aliens called the Weedians on a bong-filled quest to Nazareth. ![]() But once they got a taste of label money, they got perhaps a little too experimental on what proved to be their last album. I love it, and even I still kind of see where London was coming from when it refused to release the album.īefore its members went on to form High on Fire and Om, Sleep was an up-and-coming '90s sludge metal trio. For a pop-oriented label, Dopesmoker must have seemed pretty far out there. ![]() I just can't believe the members of Sleep created and submitted this album to London Records. I've been listening to it for a couple of weeks now. I kind of can't believe Dopesmoker exists.
