O S.o,M.-u
Grupa S.o.M. je započela s radom 2005. godine kao jednočlani projekt u improviziranom kućnom studiju s ciljem obrade međimurskih napjeva na novi način.
S.o.M. spaja kontraste - izvorne melodije starih narodnih pjesama stavljaju u doom aranžmane (ekstremna grana teškog metala specifična po sporom ritmu i tamnoj atmosferi), naglašavajući dramatičnost pjesama mističnim ambijentom i velikim dinamičkim oscilacijama. No, tu tamnu atmosferu i grubo pjevanje razbija čisti ženski vokal koji simbolizira svjetlost u mraku, vodilju koja šalje nedvojbenu poruku da uvijek postoji nada i cilj ka kojemu treba krenuti.
Grupa želi mlađim generacijama koje vole heavy-metal, prenijeti poštovanje prema kulturnom nasljeđu naših starih, a starijim generacijama poruku da glazba koja je žestoka i crna po izričaju ne mora nužno biti destruktivna po sadržaju, kako se to prečesto prikazuje.
Temelj stvaralaštva čine vokalne dionice tradicionalnih napjeva hrvatskih krajeva, u početku pretežito Međimurja, no političke granice nemaju nikakvu vrijednost u stvaranju, pa se tako nastoji provući i ideja multikulturalnosti miješanjem različitih stilova u istoj pjesmi.

About S.o.M.
S.o.M. started its work in 2005 as a one-man-band home recording project with the intention to cover songs from Medjimurje, the northern part of Croatia in a completely new way.
The band combines contrasts - putting traditional folk songs in doom environment (extreme branch of heavy metal, known by slow rhythm and dark atmosphere), emphasizing the dramatics with huge dynamic oscillations. That mystical atmosphere and rough singing is contrasted with a pure female vocal symbolizing a candle in the dark, a message that there is always hope and a goal worth pursuing.
S.o.M. wishes to transmit cultural heritage to younger generations who love heavy metal, also to send out a message to older generations that music which is hard and heavy in expression does not have to be destructive in substance.
Nowadays, the basics of their creativity underlies in vocal parts of traditional folk songs from Croatia (mostly from Medjimurje), but political borders have no meaning in artistic work, so they try to pass on the idea of multiculturalism by mixing different styles in the same song.Have you performed in front of an audience?You can take a look at video footage - www.youtube.com/somdoom.
Your musical influences
Cathedral, Corrupted, Ufomammut, Esoteric, Buried at sea, Orthodox, Crisis, Yob, ... the inevitable Black Sabbath, and of course - our main inspiration, traditional songs from Croatia, especially from Medjimurje, which are quite "doomy" by themselves, often both in melody and lyrics.

Wonderful mix of tonal & natural sound effects..
Best wishes
I am drinking BLACKTOOTHS for breakfast! My 5 Disc CD changer is filled with PANTERA. My bong has been kept loaded all day with the dankest kind I can find. Tonight I will be paying tribute to the late guitar god by attending a good metal show. I will be sure today I have a great time... for today is the day of DIME!
