Doomcrunchbuddhafuzzspree. That’s what Misha Mengleberg would’ve called Om’s side of this 7-inch single. If you think that once the music hits the air and it can no longer be “contained,” then your needle hasn’t slid through this groove because it’s heavier than a flightless bird. Mr. Chasny doesn’t remove anything from the scale either. His side, “Assyrian Blood,” contains what seems to be subliminal fuzz/noise blips — like bugs hitting your windshield except that you can hear them. Thankfully they coalesce into a stunning guitar solo that cuts through the chant and goes straight for the jugular.
