Olam

OLAM is a mathcore/metallic hardcore trio based in Indianapolis, IN. Originally formed and fronted by guitarist/vocalist Jacob Hahn in 2013 and reformed in 2019. Their sound blurs the lines across multiple aggressive genres - embodying the dynamics and weight of bands such as Converge, Botch, and Oathbreaker as well as the lush and ominous textures of bands like Russian Circles and This Will Destroy You. OLAM’s March 2019 album “I Will Guide Thy Hand” features confrontational, often-thundering but always vicious metallic hardcore. The band carry the Converge-esque torch of stunning but wildly heavy melodic drive into an overall hypnotic and increasingly perfect caustic creation. A sound that is uncompromising and assertive, yet nuanced and detailed, revealing a broad creative approach.
