OM Variations On A Theme LP
__________________________________________________________(Holy Mountain Records)
*** This is a new and unplayed item, direct from the CRUCIAL BLAST shop. ***
DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Now back in stock, this new version of Om's hypno-sludge rock classic has been repressed by Holy Mountain in a full jacket with inner printed sleeve and now also includes a download code.
The 2005 debut album from Om now in stock on both CD and vinyl for anyone that hasn't yet dived into this masterwork of mantric sludge hypnosis. Formed by bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros and drummer Chris Hakius, both of whom made up the rhythm secion of legendary stoner doom gods Sleep along with guitarist Matt Pike, who went on to form High On Fire. Now, Om does sound a bit like Sleep, channeling those huge gluey Sabbathian riffs of the band's magnum opus Jerusalem, but here those grooves have been stripped of all guitars and reduced to a throbbing, more propulsive hypno-sludge beast, with Cisnero's simple, crushing fuzz baked basslines rumbling outta massive amplification (just check out the bass cabs pictured on the back of the case!) that lock in with Hakius' minimalist yet heavy drumming and create these enormous tranced out repetitive riff states. Variations is a perfect nod-out album, weaving it's circular riff forms and Cisnero's somnambulant chant vocals and consciousness-exploring lyrics around your lobes for epic durations- album opener "On The Mountain At Dawn" stretches out for over 21 minutes, while the other two tracks "Kapila's Theme" and "Annapurna" each clock in at 12 minutes in length. I've been carrying the disc around with me everywhere, I just can't get enough of Om's mesmerizing fuzzy, droning trance rock. They would follow up this album with the awesome Conference Of The Birds which is equally druggy and trance-inducing, and both albums are pretty essential. © CRUCIAL BLAST
