    Didn't see a thread for this band so I thought I'd make one. Listening to "Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!" right now and, damn, what an incredible album.

    Neither did I. I've only listened to it twice, but I enjoyed it both times.

    Gimme a late pass but I think I had a "moment" listening to F#A# Infinity for the first time last night driving through the rain. It was something

    I need to give that album more of my time. I always gravitate more towards Skinny Fists or Allelujah when I listen to this band

    Listened to Allelujah a couple times, cool album but doesn't grab me quite the way this does. Will have to listen more

    Just went looking for a GY!BE thread after seeing the announcement of their new album. Glad to see there already is one. Skinny Fists is always the one I jump to first. I once drove across PA in a near blinding white out snowstorm in the dark to that album and it was the perfect soundtrack for the unease that sort of scenario creates!

    Didnt expect this announcement. Nothing from this band really sticks to me all that much but I enjoy listening to their albums 2-3 times each around release time. Really hope they tour again once this is released. Otherworldly live show

    Yeah, I've seen them live 2-3 times now and it really is an intense, impressive performance. I love what they do with the projectors and film. Its almost like a show within a show

    Weird to think they'll be at St. Andrews. Would've been awesome if they played the Masonic Temple in Detroit.

    Probably one of my favourite bands and definitely a big influence on my taste in music these days. But according to my last.fm, i'd only listened to Luciferian Towers once since it came out. Not sure why as I'm listening to it now and it's fucking great.

    Honestly think Moya may be one of my favourite songs ever. Got goosebumps and started welling up whilst listening to it yesterday.
