Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States (1999 – present)
Old Man Gloom (In Full: The Old Man Gloom Alien Simian Defence League) is a sludge band, with many ambient and soundscape elements. They originally formed in 1999 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, but are now based in Massachusetts. The group, formed by Aaron Turner of Isis and Santos Montano have now expanded to become a sort of supergroup in the Boston hardcore and metalcore scene. The group is less a band than it is a recording project for a variety of local talent. By the release of their first album (Meditations in B), Old Man Gloom expanded to include two new members, creating the following lineup:
Aaron Turner (also of Isis): lead vocals, guitar
Nate Newton (also of Converge, Doomriders): guitar, vocals
Caleb Scofield (also of Cave In, Zozobra): bass guitar, vocals
Santos Montano (also of Zozobra): drums
In 2001, a year after the release of Meditations in B, the band released two albums simultaneously: Seminar II and Seminar III. For these records, Luke Scarola joined to use electronics. On Seminar II, Steven Brodsky of Cave In wrote the lyrics for one song, and Agnostic Blunt (aka Jay Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed) contributed on electronics. On August 24, 2004, their most recent album, Christmas, was released.

You're missing the point Emosatan, it had just been photoshopped onto the spine as some subliminal hint. The book doesn't exist.

The mystery surrounding this new album business continues. The book in the background to the left of the Oxbow text has "OMG 5 2012" written on it. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6hzdqzO1jHk/TidrXyYSGDI/AAAAAAAAAeo/o7qYAmlW078/s1600/OMG_HHR_AD_rockarolla_JULY11.jpg . I think Hydra Head subsequently altered this in a later image once the text had been discovered.

if i knew where half of old man gloom's samples came from, i would be a happy man. on the otherhand, it might also ruin the songs for me. the mystery and strangeness that emits from those odd pulp sci-fi tidbits is unnerving and equally amazing.
