News: Godspeed You! Black Emperor Announces New Album, Song Excerpt

–Written by Michael Hogan

Today is a very exciting day for us here at Alternate Frequency, and indeed fans of post-rock (and good music) everywhere. Earlier today, post-rock royalty Godspeed You! Black Emperor announced the follow-up to their 2012 full-length album Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!.

Their newest album, Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress will be released through Constellation Records on March 31^st, so thankfully there will be no long waits for this one.

In addition, GY!BE released an 8 minute excerpt from the opening track, “Peasantry or ‘Light! Inside of Light!’”. This selection showcases the signature dissonant, droning, booming sound that has made the band icons of the post-rock scene. If this track is to set the tone for the album, Asunder, Sweet and other Distress will surely be just as colossal as their previous work.

Check out the clip and get a full track listing below. Don’t forget to pick up Asunder, Sweet and other Distress on March 31^st – not to mention check back here for a full review. In the meantime, be sure to let us know what you think in the comments!
