Volume One of Two. 2014 release from one of the most inventive and influential bands in the post-hardcore/post-metal/experimental scene. THE APE OF GOD is presented as two separate albums, each with it's own unique set of songs. Formed in the late '90s in the wasteland desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico, by Aaron Turner (Isis, Mamiffer) and drummer Santos Montano, Old Man Gloom began as a simple side project and evolved into something of grandeur. Now, Old Man Gloom presents THE APE OF GOD. Delivering some of the mightiest and most epic material the group has conjured, it will stand as a highlight in their singular repertoire. In the true fashion of one of heavy music's most intriguing acts, THE APE OF GOD balances colossal heaviness, experimental/ambient noise and a unique aesthetic presentation.
