    Om is continuing forward with a new drummer and working on a new recording. Please check here and the band's myspace 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

    Shrinebuilder is a new band featuring Al Cisneros (Om, Sleep), Wino (The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, The Hidden Hand) and I think someone from Neurosis which sounds promising but ****, Om were transcendental! I can't think of any drummer who can fill Hakius' shoes, the balance between the two guys in Om was unreal.

    Bad times.

    It might mean Sleep getting back together is even less likely.

    I was really hoping that with this current vogue for bands getting back together to play classic albums that they'd do even a one-off show playing Jerusalem all the way through. Not now though, now I'm just sad. I know you didn't dig Om as much as I did but definitely the best gigs/albums I've experienced this decade.
