Matt Pike Biography

Matt Pike is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on June 3, 1972 in Southfield, Michigan, United States. Doom metal singer who is also the lead guitarist of the band Sleep, and who doesn’t wear a shirt while performing.

He is well-known for his Gibson Les Paul playing skills.

As a result of the increased press, the band’s demographic and following widened greatly, and major label deals soon began surfacing. However, instead of following a path to mainstream exposure, the band fled further underground, turning down countless major label deals and submitting the one-song, full- length record Jerusalem in mid-1996. In 1997, the band called it quits after London Records refused to release the Dopesmoker/Jerusalem recordings and the pressure the members were experiencing became unbearable. Pike couldn’t come to terms with the break-up and became depressed. He soon realized that his career as a musician was far from over, and began inviting people to jam in his garage. Deciding to work in a power trio again, he brought in Desmond Kensel (drums) and an old friend George Rice (bass) to play in his new band. Within six months, the jams were headed to fruition and High on Fire was developing from a simple need to play guitar again.

Pike was the frontman of the Bay Area psychedelic-metal band Kalas (formerly Scum Angel) that featured members of Econochrist, Samiam, and Cruevo. Pike set aside the guitar for Kalas, as they already featured two guitarists; his vocals were surprisingly melodic, especially compared to his snarling growls in High on Fire. After only releasing a self-titled album, Kalas split by October 2006.

He was raised in Colorado by his single mother, Golden.

What tuning does Matt Pike use?

In SLEEP, Pike rarely plays fast; instead, the sound is steeped in Black Sabbath-y grooviness combined with low, low tuning. Pike plays in C-Standard , and this is key to achieving his earth-shattering tone. Low is heavy, so going VERY low as Pike does just adds even more volume to the bottom end of his guitar tone.
