Local supports have been announced for doom metal trio Sleep's upcoming headline shows in October.
As previously announced, the iconic stoner outfit will be playing a pair of headline dates - one in Sydney and one in Perth - in addition to their appearance at the All Tomorrow's Parties-branded 'Release the Bats' festival in Melbourne.
Western Australian quartet The Devil Rides Out will act as main support for both shows. The "doom-blues" act released latest EP 'Ugly Creatures' last month. Veteran metal act Summonus will open proceedings in Sydney, while southern sludge band Bayou will kick things off in Perth.
