Sleep have just unveiled their first new track in nearly two decades entitled "The Clarity." Live streams are available throughout the internet and the song was released as a free download for the Adult Swim Singles series that former label mates Pig Destroyer also recently participated in.
Whereas I felt that Electric Wizard's recent single failed to capture the power and essence of the band's back catalog, "The Clarity" will certainly remind EVERYONE why Sleep were and still are the giants of stoner / sludge / doom...whatever the hell you want to call it nowadays. "The Clarity" has it all from a hypnotic and groovy riff that carries the song, a tasty lead from Pike, percussion that perfectly compliments the wall of amplification fuzz, and vocals that ascend at the right moments to greet you with a smoke filled hand to walk into the abyss.
I highly suggest everyone check this out immediately.
