I've been expecting them to come out with an album that's just a studio recording of Behemoth. Excited for it for sure, but wish they had more new stuff.

I never could get into their last album, and I absolutely loved all of their prior material. Hopefully this is better.

When I saw them live they played Behemoth and it pretty much ruled. So if this is just a studio version of Behemoth, I'm sure as hell not complaining.

the excerpt sounds really cool and I'm glad they're finally putting this on tape. I mean, I hope they put out a record of original material sometime down the line, but I'm still stoked to finally hear a proper version of this song.

Also, GY!BE playing songs for years before they hit an album is a regular thing for them. They played songs from Yanqui UXO as early as 2000.

you guys do realize that it's normal for bands to play new material live before recording it, right? it's still "original material," so I don't get why everyone is whining about this. new fucking Godspeed album

"all their recent shit is just zion without vocals"

That's when Zion was their best. I remember seeing Zion live; not knowing they started incorporating vocals and I was disappointed because dude could not sing.

there's a difference between a band playing two or three songs, one or two tours before record announcement and a band playing pretty much the whole album about 4/5 years before record announcement js

all of their songs are already divided into movements so dividing this one song into separate "tracks" for easier consumption makes sense and hardly changes anything. But for symbolic reasons I get what you mean.

I'm guessing that It'll be divided like

Track 1 & 4 will be the music parts of behemoth and 2 &3 will be the ambient drone parts.Kind of like with Don't Bend Ascend, but slightly different.

Clip sounded good but if that was the climax after like an 11 minute build then I'll probably change my mind.

Ashamed to say I've never really given Godspeed's full lengths a serious listen. Slow Riot is excellent though. Maybe this new record is a good place to start?

This is original material, they just wrote it and refined it on tour. I don't know what you people are complaining about. Swans do it, and so do many other bands. Its not like they have released the song before, you have just been listening to a bootleg
