OM: The MetalKult Interview

Posted in Videos, MetalKult QA

Om Band

Om Pilgrimage

On November 14, 2007, San Francisco bass/drum drone kings Om played Brooklyn’s Club Europa in support of their latest release, Pilgrimage (Southern Lord).

Before Om’s thunderous set, we caught up with singer/bassist Al Cisneros and drummer Chris Haikus to discuss why the ex-Sleep rhythm section decided to reform as a duo, what gear challenges that presented, and Shrinebuilder, the band in which the Cisneros and Haikus are joined by Neurosis’ Scott Kelly and Wino (ex-Hidden Hand, Obsessed).
