OM | Pioneer Live
OM is a three-piece experimental doom metal band hailing from San Francisco, California. Formed in 2003 by the rhythm section of Sleep, the group features Al Cisneros, Chris Hakius, and Tyler Trotter. Incorporating musical structures similar to Tibetan, Byzantine, and Ethiopian chanting, the band draws from a host of other influences such as psychedelic rock, Middle Eastern folk, dub, reggae, post-rock, and much more. Their very name derives from the Hindu concept of Om, referring to the natural vibration of the universe. âŠ
