Omit – The Practice Of Falling Apart Inside The River Of Voices

Biography
There are at least 2 artists called Omit:
1: Doom metal band from Norway
2: Clinton Williams from New Zealnd
1. “Omit is a melodic/atmospheric doom metal band based in Oslo, Norway. Members include vocalist Cecilie Langlie (Skumring, Havnatt, Vagrant God), guitarist and bassist Tom Simonsen (Skumring, Havnatt, It’s the End, Vagrant God), guitarist and pianist Kjetil Ottersen (Vestige of Virtue, Diagnostic, Vagrant God), and drummer Bert Nummelin (It’s the End). The band is more or less a result of the members’ previous joint efforts in the Vagrant God project during 2007; a positive experience that prompted them to pursue a slightly darker, less restricted, and more elaborate musical path.
Following its inception in early 2009, the Omit debut album ‘Repose’ has become an ambitious opus which, in part, seeks to revisit a major trait of the 90s doom metal aesthetics: The lone mezzo-soprano, carrying a significant share of the momentum from which songs evolve for 10+ minutes. Accompanying this is the characteristic underpinning of droning rhythm guitars offset by contrapuntal leads, being as prevalent as one ought to expect, while shifts into acoustic subtlety add a complementary element of grace amid the distorted gloom. This is also reflected in the use of violin, cello, piano, and wind instruments; components that largely form the songs’ leitmotifs as their featured parts were among the very first to be written for ‘Repose’.
