***Comprised of two songs that build on OM's use of cyclical rhythm, riff, and vocal intonation, the duo's new album Conference of the Birds blends metal, chant, drone, dub, and psychedelia. The band's lyrics expound upon the structure of the universe, potentiality, and freedom from the physical body. Engineered by Billy Anderson and produced by the band, Conference of the Birds progresses beyond their debut, Variations on a Theme, with more fully realized songwriting and production. Believe me when I say you could found a religion based on this sort of music ... truly transporting. --Ninehertz UK This is one of the most immaculate, hypnotic and powerful albums I have heard for many many many years. --David Tibet, Current 93 OM create metal music for the mind and soul. --Metal Hammer Cisneros' trademark mantras, the duo's vicetightness, and a fearsome litany of riff after frequently groovy riff, induce a trance-like euphoria. --Terrorizer Feels like a series of apocalyptic instructions delivered from some scorched future world. --Dream Magazine - Follow-up to the duo's wildly popular 2005 debut, Variations On A Theme
- OM is Al Cisneros and Chris Hakius, rhythm section of legendary sludge and stoner rock pioneers, Sleep
- Produced by Billy Anderson (Melvins, Neurosis)
