LUCIFERIAN TOWERS

If you already love this band like I do, you will enjoy this album. If you have not listened to them before, start with earlier material.

I enjoyed it.

I’m changing this review cuz I don’t think it was fair before ... Yeah some of my criticisms were real , but I decided to keep it and listened more and now enjoy it to some extent .... but I’ll still maintain that with maturity in life , trauma, loss ... and mixed with joy as you live on .... u don’t want to really , or predominantly , hear loud dissonance and repetitive angst , a little more change Up here and there is what I think also ..., it’s tension and can honestly make u feel uncomfortable I guess .. yet I’m a long time fan of his work with Zion etc .... but they can focus on refined tension with sorrow full release is what I think,?, where it goes into epic triumph and joy ? ... which is what they do !!! But just more peace , cuz I’m getting old , and besides it’s timeless and archetypal universal style to do , in my objective opinion of course .. I know it all !!! Anyhow , that’s I think ...

Another powerful release from this Canadian collective.

Another strong release from Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

great album

Like many, I was introduced to GYBE through the film, "28 days later," when I was stunned by the violent beauty of the music accompanying the scene where the main character confronts a post-apocalyptic London. That track, "East Hastings," appears on F# A# Infinity, a masterpiece of progressive/experimental rock. The latest release by GYBE, "Luciferian Towers", is in my opinion their best album since F# A# Infinity. It is more melody-driven than some of the intervening albums, although it retains the driving intensity and howling synthesizers and guitars that are the trademark of the group. The album begins with "Undoing a Luciferian Towers," a dark and edgy piece that starts as a relatively quiet dirge accompanied by soft bagpipes. The track builds slowly through interesting and ominous key changes and chord progressions. The end of the piece is a chorus of frenzied guitars and keyboards that could indeed speak of hell. The first time I listened to the album I wasn't at all sure I liked this track--it is a nerve-wracking piece full of foreboding and doom--but after repeated listenings I now count it as one of my favorites. The best part of the album, however, is the three part "Anthem for No State," especially the last few minutes (starting around the 6:20 mark of Part III), which is simply sublime and ends the album on a somewhat hopeful note, or--more accurately--what counts as a hopeful note for the music of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. F# A# Infinity is still the superior album, in my opinion, but that is not meant to disparage "Luciferian Towers" in any way. This is a strong, consistent album filled with tracks of complexity, energy, and beauty. If you are new to GYBE, I suggest giving the album a listen on YouTube before buying it; this brand of music is not everybody's cup of tea. If you end up liking and buying this album, by all means go back and pick up F# A# Infinity. You'll be glad you did. One last important recommendation: This, like all their albums, is not background music meant for casual listening. It cries instead for a darkened room. top-shelf headphones, and for those inclined, perhaps a mood-altering substance of your choice.

Good album if you like these guys as I have for 20 years or so. Their performance 2 years ago in a church in Los Angeles was one of the the top 5 concerts I've been to, and I've been to a quite a few in the last 40 years. And check out this Russian band Mooncake on YouTube.

One of the best bands ever. This is a perfect album.

Excelente producto

Otra gran obra de esta excelsa banda para añadir a su discografía

Que dire de plus sur cet album génial, ce groupe se renouvelle tout en douceur, conservant les bases de cette musique qui n;appartient qu'à eux, la faisant évoluer, progresser, pour atteindre des sommets ! une véritable extase pour les oreilles et le cerveau !

Dovrebbe bastare solo il nome. Unici ed intensi come sempre. Un loro concerto è un'esperienza unica, un loro disco è un unica esperienza.
