Om Live at Pioneer Works

OM is a three-piece experimental doom metal band hailing from San Francisco, California. Formed in 2003 by the rhythm section of Sleep, the group features Al Cisneros, Emil Amos, and Tyler Trotter. Together, they draw from a host of other influences—including psychedelic rock, Middle Eastern folk, dub, reggae, and post-rock—and incorporate musical structures similar to Tibetan, Byzantine, and Ethiopian chanting. Their very name derives from the Hindu concept of Om, referring to the natural vibration of the universe.

This project is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Program in Public Understanding of Science and Technology, bridging the two cultures of science and the arts.

Bro I’ve never seen Al smile live, until this vid

[DrCharlesEdward]

That bass tone is the sonic definition of THICC.

[stemcellphone]

A drummer that understands that the china doesn't have to be hit as hard as fucking possible...

[FrankMarino-on]

I'm dying for that new album you promised, Al!

[IvesAguiar]

OM in 1080p it's not something that I was expecting

[JoseFPepeM]

The best live recording of OM in all YouTube. Thank you! Please release every other available second of this

[Iskariothe]

Al Cisneros "The Buda of Doom"

Thanks for sharing this great record!

As a PhD scientist/ engineer, I love that this concert was supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Program in Public Understanding of Science and Technology.

I have played this video 6 times in the last 12 hours on massive floor standing speakers with the volume cranked to 11 to fully appreciate this sonic masterpiece. Apologies to thy neighbors. Thank you OM.

So great to see such a diverse audience. I thought OM only appealed to my ass, someone in his 40s. Still the kings of the realms of trippy depths!

I was at this show. Killer. The past few years they've been playing some songs more slowly, particularly Thebes that night. Still so good. Incidentally, when OM finished, my wife and I caught the end of the Morbid Angel/Incantation show that was down the street, which was also killer

[Linkous]

Never heard Om sound so good in a live recording, especially Al's vocals. Thanks!

[TauntedSymbol]

Chris Hakius hasn't been in the band for years, the current drummer is Emil Amos (also known for the band Grails)

[calebbernstein]

I arrived at the venue hours before the show even started and was allowed in as an art spectator for the photography displays, we hung around in the gallery areas, place was empty for hours and we got to meet Al upstairs in the green room! Awesome night. Will never forget it, thanks OM.

Crowd looks so happy to witness this, such a masterful performance

[ShaunMalyon]

Listening to Om is a spiritual experience and every one of those audience members hypnotically nodding their heads to the beat are truth seekers. They've taken a moment to break away from the overwhelming mainstream society of today and found mental/spiritual refuge in that venue that evening.

[StonerDoomMicrodosing]

Finally some high quality Om live footage!

[fernandomilan]

Man, this is BY FAR the best live version of Gethsemane. It always sounds kinda sloppy live, but here Al nailed the execution, the tone. Damn. Perfect!

[jacintch]

My ultimate goal is to look like Al Cisneros 🧔‍♀
