Description

Rare original 2009 press on black vinyl with printed innersleeve

The sparingly named Om reunites the oft-heralded Sleep rhythm section of Al Cisneros (bass, vocals) and Chris Haikus (drums); but this time, rather than producing monolithic stoner/doom metal, the duo is focused on a softer, if no less hypnotic brand of drone rock, partly infused with monastic and Tibetan chanting. Since reconnecting in 2004, the duo has released its epic sonic meditations in the shape of split EPs with the likes of Current 93 and Six Organs Of Admittance, and albums like 2005’s Variations On A Theme, 2006’s Conference Of The Birds, and 2007’s Pilgrimag. The God Is Good album was released in 2009 after two years in the desert. Are you surprised that they say God Is Good? Perhaps you’ve haven’t understood what OM was saying to you. But perhaps you felt something It’s true that the one way pursued by OM leads in many different directions. It is a mystic path. Songs come from innumerable sources filtering through the external and the internal. OM albums are rituals personal convictions transcript into verse. Playing the music is visceral emotional a catharsis of soul and spirit.
