"Volume One" is the debut album by the stoner metal band Sleep. It was the only album recorded with original guitarist Justin Marler, before he became an Orthodox monk. "Volume One" showcases a darker sound and stronger doom metal influence than Sleep's later work, which exemplifies the drug influences on the band, yet maintains the riffage characteristic of all of Matt Pike's work. The image featured on the cover is taken from the Salvador Dali painting "Soft Self-Portrait with Fried Bacon."
