Formed by John Zewizz around 1980, Sleep Chamber has had a wide assortment of members, and performed a wide variety of music. Very early works were very experimental in nature, with elements of musique concrete. Shortly thereafter Sleep Chamber was recording ritual/ambient music, which continued into the early 1990s. In the mid-1980s the band also began working with more electro/EBM material, often meshed with their ritual works. This trend generally continued and took on additional rock-oriented dimensions in the 1990s. In 2000 Sleep Chamber went on hiatus. But in 2009 the band came back, with a name change (SLEEPCHAMBER) and a slew of new CD's.
Uno dei primi, misconosciuti pionieri della musica industriale negli Stati Uniti fu John "ZeWizz" McSweeney, che si cela fin dal 1982 sotto la sigla Sleep Chamber. E' da quell'anno infatti che da Boston giungono segnali (sotto forma di venti cassette, decine di 45 giri, video e album) di una musica-shock, permeata di elettronica e tribalismi da giudizio universale, celebre per le liriche piu` provocatorie e provocanti del genere.
