Sleep Maps new single "Vapor" is a great lesson on how to do droning, atmospheric metal with a big ol' ending riff correctly. The single comes from Sleep Maps' first new album in three years Reclaim Chaos, featuring band founder Ben Kaplan alongside vocalist David Kegg. My only real complaint about "Vapor" is that it's three minutes – this could've gone on long and I'm positive everyone would've been just as entranced.
Reclaim Chaos was recorded by Nadim Issa, mixed by Matt Bayles, and mastered by Brad Boatright. Pre-orders are available here.
