A Silver Mt. Zion U.S. Tour Dates!



Anyone who will really be going to these shows will very likely already have a good idea of what A Silver. Mt. Zion sound like. For those of you sadly uninitiated, they sound at times brooding and dark, and at other times, blarring and joyous. They also just so happen to have put out my favorite record of last year, Horses in the Sky. So pick that up if you have yet to hear it, it tastes a little something like this...

[MP3]: A Silver Mt. Zion :: God Bless Our Dead Marines
I don't even know what to say about this song other than that it's very very awesome. There's about three or four specific movements, including fiddling, rhetoric, screaming guitar, and it all closes with the greatest stecco harmony I've ever heard. If you've never listen to this band before, take some time and sit down with this track, it's incredible.

[BUY]: Horses in the Sky by A Silver Mt. Zion from Constellation Records.
