Do you guys like OM? I prefer them over Sleep.
I love the oriental/spiritual feeling and the kind of 'mantra'-esque but heavy sounds.
For me it's kind of similar to Meshuggah. Do you know any similar bands?

I'm more of a sleep fan, but they both have their perks. Pilgrimage is pretty damn good

I also love Sleep but I feel OM has everything Sleep has but with even more inside it (I hope what I said makes sense in english). These two bands plus Electric Wizard are for me the three pilars of stoner music

mmm this was a good rec. Sup Forums used to talk about this band more.
OM is like a rock band approaching world music so... some Secret Cheifs 3 can be pretty normal sometimes.
Not really what you're asking for. try their second album. do it anyways.

OM is pretty connected with sleep, considering they both have the same vocalist/bass guitarist. Either way, it's kinda hard to compare the two.

Why does Al Cisneros like John the Baptist so much?

I've always seen Om as pretty similar to Dopesmoker. Conference of the Birds is GOAT

I've always liked them over sleep too. It's really hard to find their influences (I moved on from trying to find similar bands long ago) because their influences are various traditional oriental styles all mashed together, so it's like finding any other noteworthy traditional foreign artist: ya either get a white dude doing a poor imitation of the style or a sea of modern artists in whatever country a specific style originates from who are all equally significant because they're all doing the exact same thing to the point where there are no defining characteristics of any particular artist.

John the Baptist was rad.

Here's some OM-tier reading that I swiped from the /lit/ wiki.
