Om

My favorite new genre of music in the past few years has to be doom metal, stoner metal, bong riffs, whatever you feel like calling it.

Had I not moved to Seattle I don't think I would have as many friends that listen to the music and thus would have probably not have discovered it.

Om actually is made up of members from Sleep so if you are fan of Sleep you probably already know about Om.

I can not under state how good this music is. If you listen to it with an open mind you just might like it. Even if your idea of a musical shrine only consists of D.I.T.C white labels and an MF Doom box set.

For everyone that requested this sonic bongload of rad here you are.

Sleep

I recently started listening to some doom metal. I think that's what it's called? I first heard about it from the homie Tobias, but I didn't start listening to it until my buddy Jamie put some on at his work.

Correct if my wrong, but the difference is in the speed. There are still solos and face melting riffs and all that good shit, but the pace is more heavy and follows a pulse instead of lightning fast rock.

It's pretty epic.

I'm calling it metal dub.

This is sort of the "Illmatic" of the genre and if you read up on Sleep they have a pretty interesting story.

Imagine hung over metal dudes taking bong loads in a dark basement somewhere getting all awesome.
