Luciferian Towers

Saw them in DC last year , first time I heard Bosses Hang and it still blows my mind, listen to it loud

This is already, hands down, my favorite GY!BE album. There are echoes of “Behemoth” (aka Asunder, Sweet) here, minus the drone movements. Luciferian Towers is truly a masterpiece.

This is the album I'd been waiting for. A little backstory, shortly after the release of the last album Asunder, Sweet I saw on Youtube that they had been playing an even newer long song that really blew me away. Then I saw the band play it live in 205 and said to drummer Timothy Herzog after the show "that new song is an instant classic." That song turned out to be titled Anthem For No State, and it was worth the wait to finally hear it released. Godspeed! didn't pull any punches with this one. There are two shorter "drone" songs, but they each keep building up rather than staying constant, so you definitely don't get bored. The long songs are really what stand out though. Bosses Hang is a great example of what you can do with just a single melody developed effectively. As the song builds, you get a series of interlocking guitars playing off each other, but the main melody comes back at the peak. Definitely feels triumphant. Anthem For No State is one of my favorite songs right now. The intro with violin and soft guitar is one of the most beautiful passages this band has done. But as to be expected, the song builds over 14 minutes into a giant bang of a conclusion. The last 3 minutes are an absolute triumph, right up there with King Crimson's Starless as most epic ways to close an album. Very loud playing, but also great emotion and melody.

Wow! the only thing I don’t like about this album is the fact that because I’ve been super busy lately & I’m just now listening to it a month after it’s release... unfortunately that’s one more month, that I’ll never get back, that could’ve been spent listening to this Gem. .. I Love It! After 20 years in the business these Canadians have yet to disappoint. Go Canada! ... & thank you GyBE!

I didn't like their last album, "Ascend..." and now this. I liked parts of Anthem for No State, Pts. I-III. But their past albums, Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada, Lift Your Skinny Fists.., F# A# ∞, and Yanqui UXO are 100 times better. I really don't like the direction they're going. Oh well, to each their own.

This is one of their better albums. It is also their most beautiful. It’s almost to positive for them. I’m glad they brought back more strings. It sounds like they and Sígúr Rós had a musical baby. That is not to say they made a Sígúr Rós album. It definitely is a GY!BE album it just has a similar tone. Why is this music not more popular?

To katy purry333, nice meme child.

Progressive music legends GY!BE are back again and stronger than ever. Their powerful instrumentals always lead to a lavishing climax that are a joy for the ear. Can't wait!
