About this album

God Is Good refines OM’s singular approach to doom metal into something more ritualistic and transcendent. Released in 2009, the album pushed the duo’s slow, bass-heavy extremity towards a more meditative pulse, where repetition becomes tension and melody emerges from endurance. Built on the droning churn of Al Cisneros and the elemental percussion that defines the band’s sound, it is both physically heavy and strangely contemplative. Long-form pieces such as Thebes and Cremation Ghat show how OM turned stoner rock and doom metal into a spiritual practice, making this one of the most distinctive records in their catalogue.
