The almighty Sleep played a triumphant two-night stand in Atlanta laying waste to a sold-out crowd at the Masquerade on May 3, followed by another epic riff fest across town at Center Stage on May 4. “Every day is 4/20 — even Mondays,” announced singer and bass player Al Cisneros as the group emerged for a blitzed audience at Center stage. Throughout the night, the group delved into and massive, sustained blast of riffs and distortion that stretched out for an hour-and-a-half weaving in and out of Dopesmoker’s highest peaks, bleeding into numbers such as “Aquarian” from Sleep’s Holy Mountain, and the group’s 2014 single, “Clarity.”
