Dissonant with Matt Pike's "High On Fire", Om detains more of the classic Sleep vibe, picking up where the highly regarded "Dopesmoker" left off. But this time, Al and Chris decided to formulate their colossal, earth-shaking music sans-guitar. Also withdrawn are the dope references precedently in Sleep's lyrics. Om tackles religious, philosophical, and mystical lyrical themes, fairly anomalous in the stoner metal world. However, these lyrics are not sung, but chanted as if some kind of incantation.
If you're a fan of Sleep, or any doom/stoner metal for that matter, Om just may be for you.
