‘“Labbayka Allahumma labbayk, labbayka laa shareeka laka labbayk. Inna al-hamd wa’l-ni’mata laka wa’l-mulk, laa shareeka lak (Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no partner).’”

Hopefully they keep getting weirder and more unique

[@houseshoesbto]

dude i could listen to al speak all day

[@dsfsdfsdfsdf80]

i ve meet al before great bloke i was suprised how friendly he was.

[@itswhip]

I like that Emil mentions Philly.. And for the record there is only ONE "Philly Phanatic!" But there are a lot of OM fans here-- can't wait to see these blokes tomorrow night!

[@lastcrateontheleft]

Al is the engine.

[@TheFryBr]

great interview with good questions. But as someones whos motherlanguage isn´t english I may suggest you to put some subtitles under it. It´s really hard to get all of what they ´re saying with the music in the background and all their mumbling. Maybe you could add the name of who´ s answering too... Green Greetings from Germany!

[@jackhoffmen8741]

I was at that gig. It was heavy

[@Morbid.Angel710]

Kinda interesting how Al sounds a lot like Jim Morrison lol

[@ElielHerr]

Sup fuhh?! I love watching Om interviews too. And yes, he was very very high.

[@troopygino]

I wish there wasnt music blasting so I could hear them more clearly

[@OakAthainNerin]

I just want to hear that song now

[@Obajorba]

Same!

[@ScreechMerchantRecords]

All the band members are so fucking high!

[@TheFryBr]

[@sonictitan5604]

i get high off hearing al talk

[@terrorargentina]

Al should go to argentina to see some different kind of crowd,

[@byronfoodjikla]

[@CaravanOfSleep]

Gebel Barkal, I believe

[@joesquat2891]

[@blixaholden]

Oh wow they're in fuckin Leeds!

[@herborian]

[@elimedina6340]

What is that Tibetan chant? A name to that chant or OM song?

[@gnosticmelayu]

[@MsDuncey]

Holy fuck what happened to Al

[@jonglives]

[@JeniOnly]

Success.

[@brandonshoemaker4958]

Im going to press out on this style and make theese dudes proud or envious

[@brandonshoemaker4958]

Ill add guitar so it aint totally copying them

[@siriplaydopethrone8973]

Your ego seems huge

[@Hellspwn6]

Does anyone know Als nationality? I've alway wondered kind of blood runs through his veins.

[@bridgetking4553]

MTNDEW Salamander spanish or South American

[@Morbid.Angel710]

Im guessing he’s Spanish because the sur name “Cisneros” comes from Spain.

[@marcushowell6948]

Heard he’s Mexican-American

[@OGSOFA]

Chicano

[@shillian4770]

Reptilian

[@dsfsdfsdfsdf80]

no about average height

[@brandonshoemaker4958]

ill be serious with it and not disrespect this art

[@MsDuncey]

Something about his shirt or the lack of glasses really throws me off. The shirt definitely is not complimentary to his figure, not that it makes him any less of an amazing plass bayer

[@danny2327]

chill on him

[@joesquat2891]

is he tall?
