The early material is very stoner metal. I`d also say they have a Melvins sludge metal element as well.

Sleep was definitely stoner but that doesn't mean everything Matt Pike does for the rest of his life is going to be stoner.
I don't have their first album so maybe that's where all the stoner sounding stuff is, but certainly don't find the second album to be particularly stoner sounding.
