about
Old Man Gloom is a sludge metal/hardcore band, with many ambient, noise and soundscape elements; and more recently, displaying a sound infused with the pensive and atmospheric characteristics of post-metal but without forgoing their sludgecore/hardcore tendencies/roots. Their early sound found them playing short sludgecore songs intertwined alike with drone/ambient/noise songs, an approach no one else thought of doing at the time. As the years they passed, they started composing some longer songs and reducing the ambient/noise bits with almost no drone until they arrived at their current sound which is an amalgamation of these three approaches: short hardcore songs, longer post-songs and ambient/noise bits. Their members have expressed they have never been in any other related projects that are as engaging, original or unique as Old Man Gloom is. They originally formed in 1999 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, but are now based in Massachusetts. The group was formed by Aaron Turner and Santos Montano. By the release of their first album (Meditations in B), Old Man Gloom expanded to include two new members, creating the following lineup: Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis, House of Low Culture, Mamiffer, Jodis): guitar, vocals Nate Newton (Converge, Doomriders): guitar, vocals Caleb Scofield (Cave In, Zozobra): bass, vocals Santos Montano (Zozobra): drums In 2001, a year after the release of Meditations in B, the band released two albums simultaneously: Seminar II: The Holy R
