Made a account here just to say

I ****ING LOVE GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR!!!, talk about ****ing epic jesus christ. Psychedelics(or lots and lots of weed)+GY!BE is like being born again

As for the tattoos segment of this thread. I thought about getting the Hope hammer as a tattoo, maybe the antennas album art reworked to where it looks like the hands are dropping bombs

Any suggestions?

Either one of those would be incredibly badass IMO.

Whether or not you like it, I believe F# A# Infinity is one of those albums that has to be experienced, it's one of the more unique albums out there, like Comus' First Utterance or something.

This post is 110% win.

Also, I didn't realize how great Dead Flag Blues is until I could picture the bearded man from Iron Man narrating.

haha, you mean Jeff Bridges?

I'm having a hard time picturing the Dude reading that piece.

I have always wondered who recited the monologue at the openning of "Dead Flag Blues"

does anybody know?

Incredible band. One of my personal favourites to throw on and chill out to. I personally don't have issue with the length of tracks or albums either like a lot of people appear to, if i'm going to listen to Godspeed then i'm gonna put an hour or an hour and a half aside to devote to it. One of the more experimental and more importantly effective post-rock bands i've heard and I know some would call them pretentious but I think they have the goods to back it up.

I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but up until yesterday I had never actually heard Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada.

All I can say is holy shit. The way the monologue on BBF3 builds into that chilling climax literally took my breath away. Moya is a damn fine track too. I'm really kicking myself that I waited this long to check out the EP.
