Godspeed You! Black Emperor Announce New Album


. (Prog) Godspeed You! Black Emperor will release their fifth album next month, they've announced. Titled Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress, it's set for release on March 31 via Constellation.

The follow-up to 2012's Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! is their first standard-length studio outing since the late 90s, with the new material clocking in at 40 minutes.
The material is said to offer "a mighty slab of superlative sonics, shot through with all the band's inimitable signposts and touchstones - huge unison riffage, savage noise/drone, oscillating overtones, guitar vs. string counterpoint, inexorable crescendos and scorched-earth transitions."

They've issued an eight-minute excerpt from opening track Peasantry Or 'Light! Inside Of Light!' - hear it here.
