Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, All Them Witches, Graveyard
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.

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.
