The Opiate Mass

Last updated: 5 hours ago

The Opiate Mass is a music and performing arts group based in Seattle, Washington.

The name is a nod both to the Christian liturgical form and to Karl Marx's assessment that religion is the opiate for the masses. Perhaps it is. Or perhaps the common desire for comfort, rest, escape, or relief are more complicated and mysterious than we know.

In our pursuit of creating spaces of beauty and awe, we find ourselves partial to cathedrals, subwoofers, antiquity, spiritual eroticism, ambience, pipe organs, samplers, synthesizers, incense, tongues, silence, joy, meditation, ambiguity, dissonance, the abstract. We strive to avoid pretense, hype, cliche, certainty, celebrity, greed, noise.

We encourage and believe in non-commercial performing, remixing, sharing, appropriating, and sampling of all our music (Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial). Let us know if you have other uses in mind; we'll most likely be very cool about it.
