Quote

THE PLAIN TRUTH==

we drifted through it, arguing.
every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.
we sat down together and wrote it in one room,
and then sat down in a different room, recording.
NO TITLE= what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall?  what context?  what broken melody?
and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile.
the sun setting above beds of ash
while we sat together, arguing.
the old world order barely pretended to care.
this new century will be crueler still.
war is coming.
don’t give up.
pick a side.
hang on.
love.

Quite a bit of new music slated for the first week of October. I'm always looking forward to new GYBE, an all time fave of mine.

[YELLOW]

Will definitely check it out. Saw them back in September...great show

[gnarlybog]

Maybe their most identifiable melody in recent memory?! Legendary band with a bit of a mediocre reunion run, in my opinion. I wonder what changed?

Interesting album cover, in a strange way.

is it just me, or has everything since luciferian towers sounded like luciferian towers?

i still enjoy it all, but it definitely feels like gy!be have settled on a formula now

When someone at a Silver Mt. Zion show shouted out, "bring back Godspeed!", during the GYBE hiatus, Efrim replied, "you bring back Godspeed; all you need is 4 chords and a loooong runway".

[Key]

When I saw Silver Mt Zion, it was almost like getting a standup set from Efrim between songs, he's a funny mfer. He kept saying 'don't become a musician... it'll break your heart'
