OHM

Guitarist Chris Poland has been around since 1977 as a member of the fusion band ''The New Yorkers'',later he joined the metal band ''Megadeth'' and formed the prog heavy rock band ''Damn the machine''.After the millenium Chris formed OHM along with his old friend Robby Pagliari.Their eponymous debut from 2003 is an all instrumental album featuring Poland's leading guitar performance,the complex bass lines of Pagliari and the jazzy drumming of David Eagle.Their sound is a mix of melodic fusion in the style of LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT and complex,chaotic heavy prog in the vein of KING CRIMSON or TRYO.No need for any keyboards here,as the composition are very rich and diverse.Among the most interesting and well-arranged releases in the jazz/fusion/prog territory.
