Om - Unitive Knowledge of the Godhead

[Linguaphonie]

the drop always scares the shit out of me on headphones

[metalahhhhhhhhhhhh]

Whoa this is really good. Om always kind of put me off with the no guitar thing but this is the first time Ive actually gave em a good listen does remind me of Sleep a bit.

[littlerudegirrrrl]

this is really cool

but the albumn cover is shooting me a lot of questions

[Yakovlievich]

@littlerudegirrrrl The album cover is poorly drawn, poorly painted, bad imitation of an Orthodox icon.

Any more questions?

[cookie5455]

the very begining of this song reminds me of the music in the terminator when the terminator is leaving his hotel room. anyone agree?

[FinalBaton]

Did I just stumble upon a fuckin MASTERPIECE

[EVILSTACK]

@FinalBaton Yes, yes you did.

[daelohmen]

Om i really dont know what to say

[ABCDEFGabe1]

the dislike button on this song is for sober people.

[perrottafamily1]

@ABCDEFGabe1 No. I'm sober and I love this (Flame me all you want...)

[BeingBadAtMaths]

@ABCDEFGabe1 Completely sober now. I'm digging this track. Just saying.

[googoplexable]

i want to sit on a hill while the cloaked servants of ancient Heraclea Trachis summon the gods of darkness.

[Oni64]

@HellenThrash023 have u heard of Electric Wizard?

[Oni64]

@HellenThrash023 me 2, can't believe its just bass and drums, sounds way more Doom Metal than alot of bands claiming to be.

[Oni64]

@HellenThrash023 shit is dope! thanks for finding this

[tomatoes96]

wow

just wow

im off to buy this record

[Nagneto]

Spooky

[autopsy87]

I never realized how similar Om sounds to Sleep. Ive only heard like 3 High on Fire songs but they sounded nothing like Sleep so that was enough.

[danielstuelpnagel]

this song is one of the main reasons i play drums, OM and sleep fuckin own!

[iscream22]

Fuckin SCHWEEET! Im a HUUUGE Sleep/High On Fire fan but never heard Om, I got some catchin up to do

[Nagneto]

WHOA

[themitchies]

always a startle when it kicks in

[putrisignu]

I adore this song.

[justinbenson6]

@Tapeworm05 well i somewhat agree but all great bands either way and you wouldn't believe the respect that all of the bands you mentioned give to each other.

[putrisignu]

0:53 right time

[EskimoDays]

This mellows me out no matter what mood I'm in.

[acerb45666555]

that painting is Byzantine. theres a 80% chance im right!

[WANT]

@acerb45666555 yeah you're right. the only reason they're using it is because they're trying to be edgy and shit

[222ct]

ya this song is awesome.  so simple and so heavy. just 4 notes. I cant wait for their next album.

[metathrash121]

Anger dispersing music. Awesome.

[gigglegigggle]

Heavy as shit. Blew my fucking brains out.

[Psychedilic123]

this song if fckin awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[XxMinatoNamikazexX]

AL Cisneros is definitely my biggest bass influence

[GuitarGodReborn]

I like doom like this...

Just don't like it to be referred to as stoner doom.

Still. Black Metal, Doom, Death...Folk. These styles of metal really consume my life. This is good stuff. Bought the album yesterday.

[Mustachhe]

same i like 2 call it doom 2

[ryanexsus]

Whats wrong with stoners?

[ImSpiFF]

ah..if only OM and High on FIre did a tour together...

[Sharingan90210]

This sounds so much like Sleeps Dopesmoker, excpet the voice is a tiny bit higher.

[Yaevh]

In fact, these are the same guys, but without Matt Pike on guitar.

[Kacken1]

giev basstabs nao pl0x

:P

[putrisignu]

God is your basstab.

[clairebug113]

figure it out, n00b

[clairebug113]

tabsrghey

[bosshallucy]

Ah, my favorite OM song.

[UncleLucio]

Just saw them tonight...they were absolutely mesmerizing

[Thesamofsam]

anyone else jump a little when the riff at :54 start?

[justinbenson6]

you have experienced a taste of OMs power

[Ozma2112]

Dude, I remember when I first listened to this. I had taken a huge bong rip during at the beginning of the record, and as soon as that huge fucking bass tone came in I literally screamed in shock. I never listened to Om the same again after that.. they're masters.

[svd90]

@Thesamofsam

First time when I got the record it just freaked me out, damn, destroyed a set of speakers with that riff...

[Cheesepuffs414]

Like I've always said: Al Cisneros and Chris Haikus left Matt Pike and took all of the weed with them.

[shalbus]

@Cheesepuffs414 haha nice one xD

[42themeaningoflife]

@Cheesepuffs414 Watch a Matt Pike interview and you might come to think the reverse.

[TheRealSlaveZero]

Holy shit I never believed I would say this but this song is better than some electric wizard songs. It's creepy

[almightyjoey]

This track is absolutely amazing. This is seriously the third time I've listened to it today. I never re-listen to tracks.

[Mast4rchief]

this shit is epic.

someone tell me some other good bands?

[justinbenson6]

melvins

neurosis

mastodon

sleep

isis

 some of my favorites

[cityhall4all]

works for me as well

[Timkennedy11591]

weedeater, bongzilla, electric wizard, sleep, boris, sunn(o)), and on a lighter note torche.

[almightyjoey]

Baroness, Doomriders, Yob, Buzzov*en, and Grails (not really stoner/doom, but it has the new drummer of Om in them. They're great.)

[WizardInBlack147]

Definitely get Sleep's Dopesmoker and Electric Wizard's Dopethrone. Om and Sleep both give the same feeling.

[bosshallucy]

Come my Fanatics too!

[louderthanlife2]

electric wizard sleep bongzilla weedeater high on fire corrosion of conformity kyuss acid king earth buzzov*en saint vitus sunn o))

[wrenchhc]

Your taste in music is incredible! Don't know of many who share the same musical taste -- so cheers!

[louderthanlife2]

i also forgot to include Clutch and Fu Manchu

[svd90]

@Mast4rchief

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@Mast4rchief Shrinebuilder too...

[BrianPastor]

Unitive Knowledge of the Godhead...

This is the state of consciousness wherein the mesmerized-by-Satan ignorance of a human is transformed... wherein one realizes within his/her self the true birthright as a child of God, living in the Peace and Liberty of Christ.

Cease worshipful allegiance to the commercial-martial world system.

Call upon Christ within you... live in the Kingdom of God, in the with-out, in everyday life, on Earth.

Embassy of Heaven at ".com".

[iamLizardJohnny]

so brilliant

al is an amzing musician

quite a talented and unique individual

[BrianPastor]

Greetings dear Ones:

May the Grace and Peace of the Holy Spirit be realized within us.

Liberty in Christ,

Pastor Brian

Kingdom of Heaven

[pinkfloydicus]

after sleep split up, it's as if all the 'hardcoreness' went into high on fire and all the 'stonerness' went into Om haha, and i mean that in a good way they're both great bands

[AngloYankee]

"hardcoreness"? WTF are you talking about?!

[JacoThe2nd]

I think he means aggression and such.

[pinkfloydicus]

yeah there we go aggression. i was looking for another word that wasn't 'heaviness' because Om is heavy in their own way but yeah scratch 'hardcoreness' i meant to say aggression, and such

[AlcoholAssault]

High On Fire is kinda boring. Haven't heard any really good riffs from them :P

[pinkfloydicus]

ethereal. Turk. Fury Whip. In the face of oblivion. nemesis. listen to those songs and then tell me whether or not their riffs are good

[20KAY]

i dont give a shit if its vysantine or bysantine.i guess you english faggot cant speak any other languages apart from yours

[bloodceremony]

No John you are the fail and the John was a Tampon

[nevsaydie13]

the heaviest music ive ever heard! LONG LIVE SABBATH!

[krookroorocket]

wow...fucking fail

[crugad]

i'm confused by what you just said

[20KAY]

the image is common in greek orthodox churches its vysantine painting of an angel

[BitchinnShoes07]

that's Byzantine.

learn to spell before you try to make a statement that makes you look educated.

[svd90]

@BitchinnShoes07

probably a typo, b is next to v on my keyboard...

[BitchinnShoes07]

sorry but why are you responding to a comment I made almost a year ago?

[svd90]

because I felt like I must respond to it dude

[squirehendrix]

Brilliant

[Omthiest]

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

[jonnyrocketballs69]

great for driving at night with your lights off...

[54spiritedwill54]

This is awesome! love this song

[SaraSanAndres]

AMAZING

[lysidious]

fucking awesome band

[ludvigmunthe]

Last night I dreamt I was visiting the Overlords when I suddenly realized I had no instructions to steer by, they said it was all a state of mind. So I packed my bags for the cauldron of flames where only the insane can reign. I just went Yeahh....BASHHH!!!!!

[forstrings56]

Om is fucking awesome. Sleep got me into metal in the first place, and it led me straight to OM, and this album is so fucking good. too bad they switched drummers, the new guy doesnt ride the groove as much.

[Dimebag556]

Amazing :D

[FUNKEYED]

This song is on my "doing mushrooms" playlist.

[ChebbsMastaFlex]

haha I have one of those too

[derrick45123]

Every one needs a playlist like that

[KazakageoftheSand]

pretty sure you're wrong on that.

[vanhelm13]

Ohman. This is definitely the best off of Pilgrimage. I can't get it out of my head. The vocals are so amazing.

[mindennevfoglalt]

holy fuck.... love this song

[znubzz188]

man this is trancy music, love it. i'm a fan of sleep aswell and i'm really happy to finally be able to listen to this stuff as well. its good

[sik18]

of course its not as good as Sleep hah, name one stoner metal band thats as good as doom (electric wizard comes the closest)

[Switchfifty]

read my mind haha

honorable mention is kyuss and bits and pieces of fu manchu

[wp2388]

orange goblin

[sublanimal]

how about Goblin Cock?

[justinbenson6]

don't know if their considered stoner metal, more sludge metal actually, im talking about melvins, mastodon, big business, and neurosis

[UnknownSun556]

This is awesome! Not as good as Sleep though.

[Mahahkambaha]

@UnknownSun556

You should be hanged for your heresy. Om are as good, if not BETTER, than Sleep.
