Sleep, the influential stoner doom-metal band, have announced Hempispheres, their first new album in eight years, due out on 30 October via Third Man Records. It marks the group's first record with its refreshed line-up of Bubba Dupree and Dale Crover alongside long-standing frontman Al Cisneros, following on from 2018's The Sciences.

The album will feature the previously released single "Have Spacesuit Will Travel" as well as a new track, "The Morrisist". Hempispheres comprises five songs in total, and the band are also set to head out on an extensive headlining tour next month.
