Psychedelic Stoner Doom Metal?

Now one if not my weirdest album and artist selection for this segment.

The relatively new band called OM who are classed as "Stoner Doom Metal", "Psychedelic Rock" and "Experimental Rock".
Now personally since i dont know all these genres i would class them my self as Heavy Metal crossed with Trance music.
Now i know that this will not be for everyones taste as it is so unusual but after a while you sort of zone out and become somewhat hypnotized by this music. Because of this sort of trance that it puts you into i found that it is really good for doing homework or studying as there isn't many lyrics and its a pretty solid rhythm, as well as the songs going for a while each.

There most famous live show was in Jerusalem in 2007 where their show went for around 5 hours in length as well as their album "Pilgrimage" being voted by mojo the best underground album of the year in the same year.

Now i would not recommend this for everyone but for those people with an open mind and people who would like this type of music i'm making a guess here and Miguel would be one that may like this although its not that heavy nor fast but is like i said like dance music that has a solid rhythm going for it.

Enjoy or just hate it immensely but i like it as i can fall asleep to it.
