In other items, my next show will probably be Suffocation, Immolation, and Skinless at the HOB in West Hollywood on Monday, November 5th.
Next, here's a track from "Pilgrimage" by OM, newly released on Southern Lord. Formed from the ashes of Sleep along with High On Fire, OM's musical direction is a bit unusual and very differentiated from that of High On Fire. OM's approach is to take the Sabbath-inspired doom style and remove the guitars completely while using the same clean vocal style that was found on Sleep's releases. The result is an unusual mix of doom and Pink Floyd-inspired navel/ shoe contemplation that brings to mind "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun"...
Song removed.

Holy crap, that Om is banging. Gotta check that out. How's the new Blut Aus Nord?
IO,
OM is good, but I find myself listening to the latest from High On Fire much more.
"Odinist" is much better than "MoRT" and is more of a return to form for Blut Aus Nord. I'll have a full review published at L4M soon, and I'd be interested in your take on the album once you've heard it.
Oh yeah, for sure - Blut Aus Nord is one of metal's most interesting bands, period. And I don't even know what they look like.
I am also amused that this is probably the only time you will ever plug Nightwish ;)
New HOF is really good; but I needed OM riffs while running, it keeps a good pace for me, its doom power.
Tom,
Try BLACK COBRA, a L.A. based duo playing doom/ sludge, but with a guitar instead of bass.
