Gebel Barkal (Single) [2008]

Om - Live at Jerusalem (Uganda)

O m

Frases entre la oscura ambicion sobre dominio del fuego, en la profunda caberna del Rock, se escuchan detonar las paredes mientras parte del cuerpo se sobrecoje, un alto parlante estimula el impulso joven de caer borracho en el cuarto de una dulce mujer. Son fragmentos de dimencion extra soluble que se disuelven dentro de los vasos sanguineos.

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. 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.

On the 31st of January 2008, it was confirmed that Hakius had left the band, but that Om would continue with another drummer, according to a message on the band's website. The message also stated that "A live vinyl only LP, Om - Live at Jerusalem, will be forthcoming. This is Chris Hakius' final release with the group."

In March 2008 OM recorded a 7" for Sub Pop records. The song "Gebel Barkal" is the first to feature new drummer Emil Amos.

from their album "Conference Of The Birds"

The founding members of the great "drone mantra" duo OM are Al Cisneros (bass) and Chris Hakius (drums), formerly of SLEEP, the influential 90's Doom/Stoner/callitwhatyouwant band with Matt Pike (now in High on Fire) on guitar.

Unfortunately, Al Cisneros recently announced that Chris Hakius had left the band due to unknown reasons. Al will continue OM with a new drummer. Enjoy it, you might never gonna see them play together again. Sad but true.
