{"product_id":"sleep-dopesmoker-picture-disc-lp-0872015821","title":"Sleep - Dopesmoker [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile pundits often seem eager to throw the adjective \"uncompromising\" at any rock musician with more than three nipple-rings, what we have here is the real deal. After haphazardly embarking on their intensely single-minded career in the late-'80s, Northern California's pioneering prophets of doom-metal took the opportunity of a '90s major-label advance to record a 63-plus-minute magnum opus to ganja and other Valhalla-friendly political conceits that effectively cost them same promising record deal and embroiled them in enough turmoil to permanently splinter the band. Cut by nearly a dozen minutes, the track eventually surfaced in ‘99 to some critical acclaim as \"Jerusalem.\" But now, sounding like a hung-over Thor awakening from a three-century bender, the original hour-plus \"Dopesmoker\" returns to stake its claim as the heaviest, if minimally expansive metal dirge of them all, with founder\/vocalist Al Cisneros's massive bass drone and tortured growl making for a hypnotic, if harrowing, listening experience. This new edition also includes the previously unreleased, live-in-the-studio \"Sonic Titan,\" a comparatively upbeat drone that breezes in at just under 10 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"750","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Default","offer_id":51043645358376,"sku":"80872015821","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Alternate","offer_id":51074478145832,"sku":"80872015821-ALT","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/sleep-dopesmoker-picture-disc-lp-0872015821","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
