2025 stock The long awaited follow-up to the awesome Variations On A Theme debut is comprised of two epic songs that build on om's use of cyclical rhythm, riff, and vocal incantation, 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. Om is Al Cisneros and Chris Hakius, rhythm section of legendary sludge and stoner rock pioneers, sleep. Utterly essential on Holy Mountain.
