One of my favourite bands ever, and it occurs to me that I haven't recommended them enough here

They're a two member band (one guy plays bass and sings, the other plays drums), who play very mellow, slow stoner music with a cool middle-eastern vibe, and amazing lyrics.

I'll put a few examples of their stuff here.

For starters, this is far and away their best song, divided into two parts here because of youtube's silly restrictions

Lyrics - At Giza

Quote:

Rise aviator - sun will follow.
Aperture on door the wave form school.
Sentient ground of the light shrine shining.
Aperture on door the lind-hymn stone.

Sentient ground of the light shrine shining.
Aperture of door the lind-hymn stone.
The orbits arms oscillate to freedom.
Params the shore of celestial sea.

Rise aviator - sun will follow.
On aperture on door the wave form school.
Sentient ground of the light shrine shining.
Semblates the finite - to autumnate seen.

Electron sea - now set free - takes into the sky above on sentinel stream.
And grant to me - a light to see - and pilgrimage to mountain of the votaric form.
And lighten pon day - the solarics raise - falls upon the ziggurat electron school.
And reap upon field - the host moon fade away - glides the aeronaut toward the object form.

And lighten pon day - as scintillate rays - augurate arrival of a seraphic form.
From Lebanon reels - the obelisk seen - called now inverse upon the currenter-sign.
The matter form wanes - the host moon fades - takes into the sky ascends the freedomward dove.
The rite of fall sealed - descendant orb hails her - down to the ground of electron form.

And travel under twin suns rays - the host-moon fades - takes into the clesiast at oracle school.
An epison raise - the pole star fades - wakes into availed light of aurican form.
To reach a suns rays - through glowing bronze grace - leaves the lake and rises toward empyrean sun.
The swans array - the crane stands veiled grace - tunnement to the omen of the object form.

And travel on toward the lighten pon day - on through a spine's gates - climbs the silken thread to cross a silvering sun.
The Orphic glow seen - as aural sounds ring - climbant to throne within on spine's attuned prow.
Empyrean rays - engulf the nine gates - dove ascends to freedom through a lantern filled sky.
Awakens from field - availed light's salving grace heralds arrival of the solar-object form.

Reemerge to breathe - the outform seen - vivified by illumined glow through auric-clad sheath.
An epison raise - the pole star fades - wakes into availed light of aurican form.
To reach a suns rays - of glowing bronze grace - leaves the lake and rises toward empyrean sun.
The swans array - the crane stands veiled grace - tunnement to the omen of the object form.

And lighten pon day - as scintillate rays - augurate arrival of a seraphic form.
From Lebanon reels - the obelisk seen - called now inverse upon the currenter-sign.
The matter form wanes - the host moon fades - takes into the sky ascends the freedomward dove.
The of fall sealed - cremation now reclaims - bows toward the sun and sheds the object form.

another really mellow song

and some examples of their heavier side

shortened version unfortunately of this song

and a good quality live track. I don't think it's the whole song, but again, their songs are really long

. oh, song is called Flight of the Eagle btw.

YouTube Video

oh also the bass player/singer and original drummer used to be in a band called Sleep (whose guitarist went on to form High on Fire, another epic band), and the bass player is part of a supergroup called Shrinebuilder, who are touring just now actually (so if you like OM, I recommend checking them out and going to any show near you). Also they did a split album with Current 93, but uh, I'm pretty sure Avarance is the only other person on here who knows who they are, so it probably doesn't matter to anyone else.

EDIT: Nevermind, I totally misread the thread title. I thought this was just a post random good bands thread.

But yeah, Om is awesome.

shadowsworn · 11-20-2009, 04:58 PM

bumped because this took me a while to make and OM are awesome

Raiyne · 11-20-2009, 05:16 PM

I've heard of them but never took the time to explore their music, now the moment you mentioned slow stoner music I'm sold.

Avarance · 11-20-2009, 10:47 PM
