Sleeping Mountain write heavy music that breathes. Their songs unfold with patience and intent, balancing weight, atmosphere, and melody without rushing toward payoff. There’s a strong sense of space in their sound - grounded, immersive, and emotionally charged.

Rather than leaning on constant impact, they let tension, texture, and flow shape the experience, creating music that feels expansive and deeply rooted.

• About band •

If Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd had a lovechild and raised it on desert dust and folk-horror rituals, it would sound like Sleeping Mountain.

Sleeping Mountain’s live shows lean into immersion and dynamics, shifting seamlessly between their different textures while maintaining a strong emotional through-line.Their sound translates with weight and clarity on stage, creating an enveloping atmosphere rather than a purely volume-driven experience.

Drawing from the psych and prog of the early to mid-1970s and filtering it through a modern lens, Sleeping Mountain blend heavy riffing with expansive, cinematic songwriting.

Their sound moves comfortably between crushing low-end and open, melodic passages, allowing tracks to evolve naturally over time. Across their work, atmosphere and emotion sit at the core - music designed to be absorbed rather than rushed.
