| One of my favourite albums ever,totally fascinating.I think it's most suited to call it "transcendental black metal".At times it really feels like the music is going to suck your soul out of your body and trancend it to a higher level,especially in "Tesarul De Lumini" and "Cel Din Urma Vis".And by the way,the language they use in it is really old romanian,that is not used anymore,and spoken only by those who have especially learned it. |

| this is a great album and deserving of your rating. Btw, do you have the version with the dvd added, there you get a couple of videoclips and live and an interview. totally worth it. |

I agree to most of the things you say except the fact that the language used is not spoken anymore, it's untrue - it is Romanian, there might be some archaic words but that's a long stretch from what you're stating.
great to see people abroad enjoying Romanian bands! |

really? sorry,my mistake,got fooled by the internet again :S
i even visited Romania (and Bulgaria) this year and in free time tried to find the album from local music stores,but it seems mainstream stores don't have a clue of it 
and Romania is a very beautiful country,especially Transylvania.. |

| I'd like to add to the review that you should see first the DVD and then listen to the CD because you might not have a clue what is the album about and there is a lot of hidden sense in it. |

...and still funny that nobody notes the horrible spellings in the lyrics, the fact that some tracks have wrong lyrics etc etc. Luckily, at least the band is spelled right here. Let's see if my correction will be applied soon... metalstorm would be the only website I know with correct lyrics.
Apart from that - this album is a milestone. You should at least have listened to Ţesarul De Lumini (pronounced Tsesarul de Lumini) and Cunoaşterea Tăcută (Coonwashtarya T(a)cut(a)), those two songs incorporate unique new facets to metal music.
I wouldn't want to miss that album and I wonder when will the band release another album? It would be interesting to know what will develop out of this. |

| So, finally I got something from this band, maybe their best album. And I gotta say, this is great black metal. |

|
| Surely an enjoyable album, but on the other hand not one of my very favorites... |

I am claiming that Om is superior to all the folk metal you listen to  |

|
Possibly...but not as catchy  |

True, but this music on Om is soooo much deeper and more artistic and just superior in all senses that it doesn't have to be catchy. The music on display here is no music for the mainstream masses. |

| Well, think noone can expect from me i would really enjoy music, because it is "deep" and "very artistic" according to someone (or even it really is) while i dont feel it too...maybe i would discover it myself one day, until then i am sorry... |

Yeah... as Marcel told me on Zîrnindu-să album comments... this one is truly infinitely superior.

| It's my great, but I just wish the production was better. It would be perfect for me if they had spent a little more time with production. Great melodies, transitions, vocals, pretty much everything though. Wow. |

when black metal is catchy, black metal is broken.
OM is transcendent. |
