It is with extreme honor that Southern Lord is officially able to announce the signing of San Francisco’s OM. OM was formed in 2003 by Al Cisneros (bass/vocals) and Chris Hakius (drums), both founding members
of legendary doom pioneers Sleep. The band has released two previous albums with Holy Mountain Records: “Variations on a Theme”(2004), and “Conference of the Birds” (2006). OM will fit perfectly among other
bands on the Southern Lord roster (Sunn 0))), Earth, Boris) who are continually pushing boundaries, and forging ahead in new directions. OM are helping reinvent AND reinforce modern heavy music.

Their first album for Southern Lord will be recorded this summer at Electrical Audio studios with Steve Albini at the controls. Album title and release date forthcoming. Please stay tuned for more info!

I am looking forward to this.
hopefully, they will play in this area soon.

I was disappointed with Conference of the birds, considering Variations on a Theme was absolutely killer. I'm sure they're quite capable of getting it together, and with Albini recording it? Potential for greatness is there.

I'm psyched they're recording with fuckin' steve albini.

Really? I thought At Giza that was one of the best songs I've heard in a while. It was very Floydian, I'm hoping they make more shit like that then what Variations sounded like.
