Mongi Asunder wasn't all drone! The first song on it is an experimental/symphonic rock masterpiece.

I either want this all drone or all post-rock. The last two have just not managed to feel all that cohesive with both, and doing the same thing three times would feel like such a fallback

unfortunately they haven't officially announced it yet. so i'm still curious if it's legit. apparently the idea for this came form reddit. Not sure where that person got the info. It does look legit although with this band who knows.

Nah I doubt it'll be like that, this is gonna be some attention grabbing, intense stuff I bet, like Mladic perhaps. The quotes in the article sound like they're fired up about things.

But for real, I've enjoyed everything these guys have put out (to varying degrees--Yanqui U.X.O. wasn't their best, nor was their latest), so I'm so excited for this.

I'm not sure how I feel about their theme being as on-the-nose, compared to their other stuff. I've always loved the mystery and desolation surrounding GY!BE.

have you guys heard the songs that have been floating around for about a year now? they are incredible to say the least, back to an orchestral post-rock sound like last 2 albums never happened.

Again, this might not even be true. It originated on Reddit.com it was just something someone found. The band probably won't confirm or deny because that's how they are.

It gets rid of the colon when you make it a link for some reason, so it has to be copy and pasted.

Also this news is more believable than that article made about the double album by Tool that's remained up for whatever reason.

from the article:
Update: According to a representative for the band, this information was prematurely leaked onto the Internet and an official announcement is still forthcoming.

'The band goes on to note that Luciferian Towers was informed by “an end to foreign invasions”; “an end to borders”; “the total dismantling of the prison-industrial complex”; “healthcare, housing, food and water acknowledged as inalienable human right”; and “the expert fuckers who broke this world never get to speak again.”'

this has me so hyped

now im really sad i missed out on tickets to see them in october

Their last album was basically a bunch of boring ass drones. I love these guys, for the record. Picked up tickets to see them back when they did their first reunion tour many years ago. Just think their last two albums have been weak af
