"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!"

Wow. Color me anticipated.

Now that you mention Albini: anybody heard anything about Shellac's new album since October of last year? (it was announced that it's going to be called "Excellent Italian Greyhound" and it would be released at the start of this year, but since then: nothing)

this split 10" with Current 93 is rocking my world, I need to hear more. Conference Of The Birds seems to have disappeared from our radio station.

Yeah, this'll be great.
