About the Author:
New Mexico transplant Al Cisneros is best known as the founding member of bands Sleep, and OM. As a lyricist, Cisneros has created a pantheon of characters and places that now occupy a permanent space in pop-culture. According to AV CLUB, “In the history of stoner metal, there has never been a lyric more thoroughly crucial than Drop out of life with bong in hand / follow the smoke toward the riff-filled land." Other iconic Cisneros lyricsisms are “Weedian,” ”Dragonaut,” Iommisphere,” and “marijuanaut.” The humor and inventiveness of Cisneros’ lyrics have been a beacon to a subculture, but that's also because there's a penetrativeness too. Travel on now Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, Weeps into purified, the Self is not a void is the kind of line that sticks deep within a person. Cisneros’ lyrics have resonated with and created a community. His debut as a writer expands on that universe and community. the Sleep Comic Book, illustrated by Dave Kloc and Arik Roper, will be published in Fall 2026.
