Tank full of Oil

 

 

Om is a duo 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.

'Om' is the Hindu syllable known as the natural vibration of the universe, often used as a mantra (a rhythmic ritual word that Hindus use and repeat for a long time when getting in trance mental states).

 

 

 

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 caus

 

 

In December 2007 the band performed in Jerusalem. Their performance lasted for over five hours. A portion of that show was released on 12" vinyl by Southern Lord "OM - Live at Jerusalem." Their 2007 album Pilgrimage was chosen as Mojo Magazine's Underground Album of the Year.

 

On January 31, 2008 Hakius left the band and was replaced by drummer Emil Amos, of Grails. Om have since released Gebel Barkal - a 7" 45 for Sub Pop's Singles Club, a live vinyl-only LP Conference Live on Important Records, and on September 29, 2009 their 4th full-length studio album God is Good was released by Drag City.

 

 

On May 27, 2011 Drag City records confirmed on their web site that the band are currently working on a new album which should be out sometime in 2012.
