Their first, but not last, secret album. Recorded and pressed to vinyl and available at shows in 2012. A bigger standard release came a little later, but they just made and released a record without telling anyone. After No, secert albums/ suprise drops became their thing, like the 2 Ape of God albums and Seminar VIII and IX.
I’m super stoked for the new album “NO.” Order it here.
In the meantime, here is a track from their Seminar II: The Holy Rites of Primitivism Regression album.
Mandried is a pretty good “Cliff Notes” version of OMG in eight minutes and ten seconds. It starts heavy and riffy (that is now a word) with shouted vocals, then the vocals go out and the song marches on, getting nosier and nosier. The drums drop out, and the guitar slowly fades, and the noise gets more prominent. Eventually, it becomes a noise collage with only the faintest traces of what the song started as. 8:10 that completely covers everything that Old Man Gloom does.
