Old Man Gloom - The Ape Of God / 2

Formed in the late ‘90s in the wasteland desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico by Aaron Turner (ISIS, MAMIFFER) and drummer Santos Montano, OLD MAN GLOOM was conceived as sonic experiment of sorts which would inevitably becoming something of grandeur. Their “Meditations In B” debut was just a glimpse into the noiser and more experimental side within Turner’s musical repertoire, at the time where he would be able to explore his musical range a bit beyond what he was doing with Isis at the time (which was a time even before Isis really took off). Shortly after Nate Newton of CONVERGE and Caleb Scofield of CAVE IN would join this unique sonic behemoth (with Luke Scarola on electronics), and Kurt Ballou of Converge would end up serving as the band’s longtime control desk engineering commander. Now in conspiracy with Profound Lore Records, OLD MAN GLOOM are prepared to release their new album entitled “The Ape Of God”. It will serve its purpose as some of the heaviest and mightiest material the band have ever conjured and will stand as a highlight and one of the best works within the OLD MAN GLOOM repertoire, the band now more relevant than ever before. In true OLD MAN GLOOM fashion, “The Ape Of God” balances the colossal epic heaviness, the experimental noise and ambient pedigree, and the overall unique vibe and aesthetic signature to one of heavy music’s most intriguing acts
