SLOW RIOT FOR NEW ZERO KANADA E.P.

It's hard to make completely original and beautiful music anymore but some bands manage to do it and do it well. Godspeed You! Black Emperor are one of these bands. Their music never ceases to amaze me and the sounds they create are downright stunning. They create noise that grips practically every inch of consciousness you have and leaves you in an emotional charged stupor that's almost like a high. How many bands can you say that about?

On Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada the band drastically improves from their debut (which was a great album as well) and they start their upward climb to their peak on their next album, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. The two tracks are as good and at times even better than the material on the album to come. Intense, slow-building and epic: all words that describe the music here (and most of GY!BE's music).

Godspeed is one of those bands that I could listen to forever and still maintain interest in, they are a truly amazing group.

This EP is a great preview for anyone who wants to love this band like I do, and I hope that others do.
