OM NEW TRACK ONLINE, UPCOMING SHOWS!!!!

A new dawn awaits!! Southern Lord Recordings and Om have set October 2nd as the official release date for their 3rd (first on Southern Lord) full-length album!! This beast is entitled: “Pilgrimage” and was recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago, IL. by Steve Albini. The album is currently being mastered by Bob Weston (also in Shellac) at Chicago Mastering Services. “Pilgrimage” expands on their unique use of riff,,, cadence…chant..as heard on previous recordings yet finds the band expanding their vision into new territories. Of particular note is how much the song-writing has developed and in turn makes the dynamics of the songs much more intensely powerful.
The track-listing for “Pilgrimage” is as follows:

1. Pilgrimage
2. Unitive Knowledge of the Godhead

Wolves In The Throneroom New Album + Tour

“The deep woe inside black metal is about the fear that we can never return to the mythic, pastoral world that we crave on a deep subconscious level”

The brand new Wolves In The Throneroom albumis now available directy from Southern Lord. It will be “officially” released in most stores September 25th. You can get it now directly from Southern Lord! Wolves will also be embarking on a long tour of the USA during the month of October!

The new album: “Two Hunters” was recorded on tape, at London Bridge and Aleph Studios by Randall Dunn (Earth, sunn 0)))/Boris, Kinski) in the Pacific Northwest.. The process of the recording was very organic with very minimal use of any digital manipulation or processed effects. Jessica Kinney (previous collaborations with Eyvind Kang and Asva) provides beautifully dark vocals on “Cleansing” and “I Will Lay Down My Bones Among the Rocks and Roots.” Comes packaged in a 5″ mini-gatefold thick cardboard jacket.
