Sleep's Holy Mountain is the second full-length album by the stoner metal band Sleep. It was the last album to be released by the band as a fully functioning group, as their next albums were released posthumously.
The album was originally sent to independent label, Earache, as a demo. The label immediately signed the band and released Sleep's Holy Mountain exactly as it was received. It is widely-regarded as the band's creative pinnacle and is considered a seminal album in the evolution of stoner metal and doom metal.
The album was re-released on vinyl in 2002, the European pressing was limited to 1,000 copies on 220g black vinyl while the American release was limited to 1,000 copies on Green vinyl.
