A duo from San Francisco, CA formed in 2003 by the rhythm section of the disbanded stoner-doom metal band Sleep. The band's first three albums feature Al Cisneros on vocals and bass and Chris Hakius on drums.

Their music is similar in structure to Tibetan chanting and is rich in rhythm and melody. Their music and lyrics lift off at the beginning and slowly mutate giving a feeling of evolution inside each song. The vocals have a monotone quality, producing, on some tracks, a noticeable hypnotic effect of the sort that tends to be appealing to the devotees of the many various genres of druggishly-bent, "space" music--but which not all music calling itself "stoner rock" necessarily is able to cause.

On the 31st of January 2008, Hakius left the band. In March 2008 OM recorded a 7" for Sub Pop records. The song "Gebel Barkal" was the first read more...

OM Music Reviews

OM God Is Good

Album · 2009 · Doom Metal

Warthur

On God Is Good Om finally reach a more nuanced delivery of the spiritual music the project is inspired by - finally, the band's meditation music side has caught up to its doom metal chops. At points on here their compositions remind me of the music of Popol Vuh, who also made a point of combining spiritual music from varied cultures with a more modern musical style (Krautrock in Popol Vuh's case, doom metal in Om's case). I find Om's albums to be rather variable, but the accomplishment shown on God is Good makes me expect even greater things from the band in the future - assuming the reformation of Sleep doesn't put Om on hold for good.

OM Pilgrimage

Album · 2007 · Doom Metal

Warthur

Pilgrimage finds Om chugging along in the same general style as they arrived at in Conference of the Birds, though this time they trim back the length of the tracks a little to provide more succinct pieces. It's another pleasant enough album, but whereas Conference of the Birds felt like a real artistic breakthrough on Pilgrimage the band seem to revert to treading water. It's a short album at only 32 minutes, but in that brief time they don't really do very much which they didn't accomplish better on Conference, and I honestly don't feel I need multiple albums in this very specific style unless the albums in question are of a transcendently brilliant quality.

OM Conference Of The Birds

Album · 2006 · Doom Metal

Warthur

Om's second album is a substantial improvement of a debut; the format still consists of epic, slow doom metal based on the rhythms and cadence of traditional Tibetan meditative chants, but this time around there's a bit more of a groove to the proceedings and the band succeed much more at crafting compositions which manage to retain the listener's interest despite a high level of repetition and a slow pace of change over the course of their running times. I was sceptical about the Om experiment on listening to their debut, but Conference of the Birds convinces me that the idea behind the project is sound - it's just that it took them a couple of albums to get the execution right.

OM Variations On A Theme

Album · 2005 · Doom Metal

Warthur

Some of the dronier doom metal bands are able to take sparse, minimalistic riffs dragged out for an ungodly length of time and somehow manage to avoid the monotony or boredom which might otherwise be associated with such music, finding ways and means of making their ambient metal endlessly fascinating. Earth's second album is a good example of that, and I understand a lot of people think Sunn O))) pull it off. But Om? Maybe they are able to do it, but they don't quite manage it on their debut album. Then again, it's nice to see Al Cisneros of Sleep return to the music scene at all after his absence.
