I've been listening to a lot of High on Fire lately, well more like the last 4-5 years. High on fire is lead by lead guitarist and vox Matt Pike who started out in a band called SLEEP. They're said to be one of the pioneers of the Stoner/Doom Metal movement. SLEEP released 4 albums between 1991-2003 but broke up 1998 but are responsible for one of the greatest albums in not only the genre but in all of music, in my honest opinion. Jerusalem has a mystic all it's own and is part of music folklore. The following clip is from the documentary Such Hawks Such Sounds and features the history of SLEEP and the legend of Jerusalem set straight.
