Godspeed You! Black Emperor
I have been a metal-head for quite a few years now. Nightwish... In Flames... Blind Guardian... But lately I've been straying towards more progressive bands like Spock's Beard, Dream Theater, Fates Warning, etc.
Even more recently though, I've ran into a band which, from the moment I heard the first track, I could literally feel it changing and warping my musical tastes.
The band is Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I already own four of their albums - Slow Riot for a New Zero Kanada, F#A# Infinity, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven, and Yanqui UXO.
Its music is a waking nightmare. You know the kind of dream I speak of - where everything appears to be normal, just like real life, except for a lingering feeling of dread and wrongness, that grows stronger and stronger until you wake up screaming... That is the kind of nightmare I speak of...... It is addictive.
Anyone else share similar feelings towards this band? And more importantly, tell me, TFPers, who else plays like GY!BE?
