ELECTRIC SLEEP (LTD) (180G)

Vinyl LP pressing. 1998 release from Canadian stoner metal band Sheavy. Known for their frantic vocals and relentless, endless riffs, the band have earned their place in stoner rock cannon. The Electric Sheep was not originally released on vinyl. Sheavy were often compared to Black Sabbath, mainly due to the Ozzy Osbourn-esque vocals of Steve Hennessey. It is a little known fact that upon hearing the band, Tony Iommi flew Steve in to LA to audition him as a potential vocalist for a Sabbath line-up. Sabbath comparisons aside, there's no denying that Sheavy were capable of writing fantastic and catchy original songs in their own right.
