Reunited post rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced their first studio album in a decade, with the album titled ALLELUJAH! DON’T BEND! ASCEND!. The album is to feature four songs: two twenty minutes long and two six minutes and a half minutes long. It’s going to be released in less than two weeks (!), with the date being October 15 in Europe and October 16 in the rest of the world.
The band is known for not doing interviews with any press after one writer published a piece in poor taste. They only recently reunited in 2010 after several years apart. This is the first word on them doing any new recording. Several members are also in the post rock band Thee Silver Mt. Zion.
