After an overlooked debut, Sleep released a well-received follow-up, Sleep's Holy Mountain, in 1992 on Earache. The record had obvious Black Sabbath influences, and has been described as 'the best Black Sabbath never wrote.' The success of Sleep's Holy Mountain landed Sleep a contract with a larger record company (London), who payed up front for Sleep's next record.
