Sleepbomb has also written and performed full scores for George Romero’s 1968 classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead and the epic swords & snakes of John Milius’ 1982 Conan the Barbarian. Historically a live experience, Sleepbomb has performed their scores across the West coast of the US since 2003 and now has set their sights on expanding to the East coast and the world for 2025. Musically, Sleepbomb ranges from heavy doom riffs to dreamy shoegaze, dark soundscapes punctuated with shimmering guitar and ethereal vocals. Originally stylistically close to a chaotic version of Throbbing Gristle vs Black Sabbath, Sleepbomb has been exploring experimental sounds and forms, 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 doom metal 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. They succeed in this goal. Sleepbomb joined Bill Gould’s koolarrow records and Belgium’s Consouling Sounds in 2023 for the release of their score for the classic 1920 German Expressionist film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. They are overjoyed to repeat this collaboration for their January 2025 release of The Sleeping Dead: excerpts from an alternate score for George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead! Founded in 2003 by Charles Hernandez (Guitar, Vocals) and Mark Jones, Sleepbomb began as an casual ensemble project performing improvised industrial/experimental scores to German Expressionist films like Caligari and Metropolis. Performing in local beer gardens and art galleries, the duo were joined by Chris Bishop on bass, Rob Johnson on drums, Tim Gotch on synths and James Presley on the electric saw. Along with a rotating cast of background vocalists, Sleepbomb performed several times a year until mid-2013. After a short hiatus, the band retrenched and refocused in 2015, dropping much of the improvisational/casual nature that previously defined the project’s scores for pre-arranged music (and sadly losing founding member Mark Jones to adult responsibilities in the process.) Stylistically, the band moved towards a heavier sound, while still retaining much of their experimental/psychedelic roots. Formal scores were written and performed live to sold out audiences around the Bay area, including signature scores for Conan the Barbarian (with Arnold Schwarzenegger) and German Expressionist classics Metropolis and Nosferatu. Great momentum was in place for 2020, but nature interfered. Post-pandemic, Sleepbomb returned in a limited fashion in 2021 and expanded to a full slate in 2022. After a lineup shakeup, 2022 solidified as the current four piece and premiered brand new scores for The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and Night of the Living Dead. In 2023, Sleepbomb joined the koolarrow records and Consouling Sounds rosters and released their first full score recording for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in October 2023 followed by their first proper tour in the Pacific NorthWest. Claire Hamard on Vocals, Keys and Brown Hues on Production. Molten -from Oakland, CA -The Darkest WAV's In The Bay!
