Sleepbomb is a San Francisco-based cinematic psychedelic post-rock band focused on full, original scores for genre films including The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu and Metropolis, George Romero’s 1968 Night of the Living Dead and the epic swords & snakes of John Milius’ 1982 Conan the Barbarian. Frankenstein is a brand new Sleepbomb score, full of their signature psychedelic doom and gloom set to the iconic Boris Karloff performance as The Monster! Be there!
Musically, Sleepbomb ranges from heavy doom riffs to dreamy shoegaze, dark soundscapes
punctuated with shimmering guitar and ethereal organ. Originally stylistically close to a chaotic
version of Throbbing Gristle vs Black Sabbath, Sleepbomb has been exploring experimental
sounds and forms throughout their career, guided by the band’s love of Godspeed You! Black
Emperor, Coil, Neurosis, Sunn 0))), Ulver and Swans, among others. Settling on a drone
influenced style of psychedelic post-rock as the overarching theme while exploring other genres
as appropriate for each film’s particular style, Sleepbomb’s goal is to re-contextualize the
experience of these well known films.
