Om is a stoner doom band formed by the rhythm section of the disbanded stoner metal giant Sleep, Al Cisneros on vocals
andbass and Emil Amos (Chris Hakius until 2008) on drums. Their music is similar in structure to Tibetan and Byzantine chant and
is rich in rhythm andmelody. Their music and lyrics lift off at the beginning and slowly mutate giving a feeling of evolution inside
each song.
Also, 'Om' is the Hindu syllable known as the natural vibration of the universe, often used as a mantra (a rhythmic ritual
wordthat Hindus use and repeat for a long time when getting in trance mental states).
