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.

You're missing the point Emosatan, it had just been photoshopped onto the spine as some subliminal hint. The book doesn't exist.

The mystery surrounding this new album business continues. The book in the background to the left of the Oxbow text has "OMG 5 2012" written on it. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6hzdqzO1jHk/TidrXyYSGDI/AAAAAAAAAeo/o7qYAmlW078/s1600/OMG_HHR_AD_rockarolla_JULY11.jpg . I think Hydra Head subsequently altered this in a later image once the text had been discovered.

if i knew where half of old man gloom's samples came from, i would be a happy man. on the otherhand, it might also ruin the songs for me. the mystery and strangeness that emits from those odd pulp sci-fi tidbits is unnerving and equally amazing.

Guys, does anyone know where that dialogue in the song "Sonar Enlightenment Program" is taken?
