Legendary stoner doom metal band Sleep has announced their first album in eight years, titled Hemispheres. The new single, "The Morrisist," was unveiled alongside the album announcement.

This marks Sleep's first album without founding guitarist Matt Pike, who is now part of High on Fire.
The revamped lineup includes founding singer-bassist Al Cisneros, guitarists Bubba Dupree and Dale Crover, and drummer Dale Crover. The album was recorded at the Melvins' studio with engineer Toshi Kasai. "The Morrisist" also pays homage to Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi with lyrics referencing his work.

The tracklist for Hemispheres includes "Have Spacesuit Will Travel," "The Morrisist," "Hemispheres," "Arrival of the Industry Ships," and "Whole Wheat Mountain Well Baked Sleep." The tour dates are also listed, spanning across the United States and Canada.
