Icelandic stoner doom metal psychonauts SLEEPING GIANT proudly announce their signing with Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records, marking a powerful new chapter in the band’s journey through crushing riffs and cosmic heaviness. To celebrate this partnership, the band unleashes their debut single “Conqueror”, now available with a brand-new lyric video: https://youtu.be/ODyXTZnI9LQ. Emerging from the volcanic underground of Iceland, SLEEPING GIANT channel the raw spirit of Stoner and Doom Metal, enriched by elements of Thrash, Death and Sludge. Their sound is a fierce blend of massive grooves, razor-sharp drumming, and roaring vocals, a true tour-de-force of heavy metal energy. Originally formed in 2009, the band’s debut performance erupted just steps away from Iceland’s “pots-and-pans revolution.” Quickly earning a cult reputation for their visceral sound and onstage ferocity, SLEEPING GIANT became one of Iceland’s most intriguing underground acts. After a decade of hibernation, the giant finally awoke in 2023, returning to the stage at Reykjadoom and Norðanpaunk festivals, and entering the studio to craft their long-awaited first official release, soon to be revealed through Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.

Stay tuned and watch the Giant rise once again. https://www.facebook.com/SleepingDoomPungur/ https://www.instagram.com/sleeping.doom.giant/ https://sleepinggiantisl.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ArgonautaRecords |
