Omit formed in Oslo in 2009 as an atmospheric/funeral doom metal project devoted to themes of loss, sadness, and tragedy, shaping long, slow compositions built around emotional weight rather than aggression. Their music is defined by expansive structures, mournful melodies, and a sense of suspended time, where each piece unfolds with patient, almost ritual solemnity. The debut Repose (2011) established this identity with deeply immersive arrangements that emphasized fragility and introspection.
The two‑part cycle Medusa Truth—released in 2014 and 2018—expanded the project’s scope, deepening its atmospheric character while exploring more intricate emotional textures. Across these works, Omit remained committed to a form of doom metal that prioritizes mood, sorrow, and narrative stillness, standing as a rare and deliberate voice within the Norwegian doom landscape.
