Sleep fans still have some time to wait for the bands much rumored next full-length outing. Despite releasing their first new song since 1996, “The Clarity“, earlier in the year, progress remains slow on their potential next opus. Speaking to themusic.com.au, drummer Jason Roeder said of the outing:
“It will happen organically, and only when/if it’s ready. We all respect the Riff and know not to force our will upon it. We are careful not to place too much in front of us or announce anything until it’s ready to go. It’s less stress and it lets us be present and enjoy playing as we go… The Riff decides, Sleep obeys.”
Vocalist/bassist Al Cisneros added:
“Yeah – we all know if a song is complete. The process is actually the goal. Then you end up with songs eventually. The Iommic path makes itself clear. Attention must be paid during the process then songs automatically evolve.”
