Originally formed in New Mexico by guitarist/vocalist Aaron Turner (Isis) and drummer Santos Montano, the Massachusetts-based group Old Man Gloom has since expanded into a sort of supergroup among the Boston hardcore/metalcore scene. By the time of their first album, Meditations in B, the lineup had expanded to include Converge bassist Nate Newton (guitar, vocals) and Cave-In’s Caleb Scofield (bass, vocals). More of a recording project than an actual band — they rarely play live, partly due to scheduling conflicts — Old Man Gloom plays a mix of heavy hardcore/metalcore songs and quieter electronic/ambient drones, at times juxtaposing these two elements, while at others blending them together in the same space. Their lyrics and packaging make repeated references to primates — apes, chimpanzees, etc. — and also to science, research, and (de-)evolution (among their song titles are « An Evening at the Gentleman’s Club for Apes » and « Test Result: Alien Ape Distress Signal »); the band also sometimes refers to itself as « the OMG Institute. » These references tend to be pretty cryptic, and if anything, seem to reveal that there is a sense of humor behind the group’s intense, doom-laden sound exterior.

Meditations in B came out in 2000 on Turner’s Tortuga Records imprint, a subsidiary of the larger Hydrahead label, which he also runs.
