Fair Haven bass player Matto founded OHM with a few friends of his in the year 2000 in St. Gallen(Switzerland). He wanted to overcome the playing breaks in between the activities of his other Band. Since the middle of 2005 the OHM line-up is steady, and OHM is a unique and up-raising band. However, it took many winding roads to get to this point. After the break-up of the original OHM formation Rogör (Catfish) and Matto met, and they jointly decided to reform the band.

Shortly thereafter Johanni Brea (Light Bulb Sun) joined on Bass Guitar, and Bernie Küpfer (Fair Haven) on Lead Guitar entered the team. With this line-up OHM started to rise out of the basement onto the stages and clubs of Switzerland. The band started to present their music across Switzerland. OHM plays melodic Heavy Metal / Hard Rock. ‘Cause out of a lack of time Johanni left OHM after the “Chaincrusher Tour 2006”. However, Johanni was kind enough to play all the bass parts on the final “Fixing The Shadow” record. As a new member of OHM we can welcome Riccardo Bo (Black Rain). In the beginning of 2007 Sanij joined Ohm as the new singer. OHM is ready to continue the journey, what about you? …To be continued
