Sleep Reforms with New Lineup, Releases First Song Since Matt Pike’s Departure and Announces 2026 Tour
The pioneering doom metal band Sleep is returning with a new lineup, notably without founding guitarist Matt Pike. The band released their first new song since Pike's departure and announced 2026 tour dates.
Here's something crazy to consider: Pioneering doom metal titans Sleep are coming back, and they're coming back without Matt Pike, the permanently shirtless wildman guitarist who has always been their most recognizable member. In fact, there's only one returning Sleep member in this new lineup: Al Cisneros, the band's singer, bassist, and lead songwriter.
