OM Announce Departure of Founding Drummer

Looks like there’s some changes happening in OM’s lineup. Below is a statement from singer/bassist Al Cisneros posted on omvibratory.com
“Om is continuing forward with a new drummer and working on a new recording. Please check omvibratory.com and this page for updates. A live vinyl only LP Om - Live at Jerusalem will be forthcoming. This is Chris Hakius’ final release with the group. I personally apologize to east coast fans who planned on coming out to the shows. Please know that Om will be back in your area later in 08. Thank you to all of you. Live dates resume in late spring. There is a LOT of new material on its way. Shrinebuilder is also forging ahead. See you all soon. -al”
Also, check out the OM MetalKult interview, here, where Al talks about the Shrinebuilder project.

No. No, no, no, no. No way. Please tell me it’s only a joke (i know it isn’t, which is depressing).
