OMO

SATURDAY

Formed in 2020, Glasgow’s doom cabaret collective, OMO, blends the intensity of sludgy doom with Sabbath style grooves. Featuring members of iconic Scottish acts like Mogwai, The Twilight Sad, Desalvo, Aereogramme, and Stretchheads.

Their sound is an intricate balance of ferocity and nuance—an unrelenting exploration of bleak, crushing power. OMO’s music is as much about creating an emotional landscape as it is about sheer sonic aggression, drawing on a wide spectrum of styles from sludgy, doom-laden riffs to explosive, cathartic outbursts.

In just a few short years since their formation, OMO has made their mark by sharing stages with heavyweights such as The Jesus Lizard and Litvrgy, and performing at the revered Core Festival. Their live shows have been described as seismic and visceral, drawing praise for their unflinching intensity and unpredictable performance.

The band has released two demos on Bandcamp: “The Book of Five Rings” and “Kensei”, both of which showcase their diverse range of influences and their ability to forge a sound that’s as captivating as it is punishing.

Whether it’s the vast, ominous ambiance or the gut-wrenching riffs, OMO is shaping up to be one of Scotland’s most exciting heavy music acts. With more releases and live shows on the horizon, the band is set to carve a distinctive place for themselves in the world of heavy music.
