A Silver Mt. Zion
A Silver Mt. Zion uses a number of different variations of the name on different releases with respect to line-up changes.
A Silver Mt. Zion is a band formed in 1999, in Montreal, Quebec, by Godspeed You! Black Emperor musicians Efrim Menuck, Sophie Trudeau and Thierry Amar. According to an interview with VPRO Radio in The Netherlands, originally the project was for Efrim to learn how to score music, but the idea was soon abandoned as Efrim decided that he preferred music not to be defined by rules, preferring simply what sounds best.

According to an interview with VPRO Radio in The Netherlands, originally the project was for Efrim to learn how to score music, but the idea was soon abandoned as Efrim decided that he preferred music not to be defined by rules, preferring simply what sounds best. Despite this, he continued the project out of a desire to experiment with ideas that would not work within the context of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The decision to record an album was partly inspired by the death of his dog Wanda, who had died while Godspeed You! Black Emperor was on tour. He wanted to record an album in her memory, but did not feel that he could effectively do this through Godspeed's collective, consensus format.
Unlike Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion's music often features vocals. The last few albums they have released contain no purely instrumental tracks. Efrim confessed that he was uncomfortable with this at first, feeling "foolish" and uncomfortable with the role of the singer in music generally. That is, he did not want to be the focus of the band's music but rather wished to use vocals as a stylistic tool. Some fans were initially ambivalent about the use of vocals, but Efrim's poetic lyrical style is now well respected among fans. Furthermore, A Silver Mt. Zion's fanbase has expanded, and they are no longer seen merely as an offshoot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor but as a unique and separate entity.
The addition of members has moved their music from a well weighted, and curiously empty (in terms of space) sound to all encompassing and complex arrangements, recently focusing more on vocal layers.
Other than the main three members, various other people joined the band for recording and touring including: Beckie Foon, Ian Ilavsky, Jessica Moss and Scott Levine Gilmore.

This is it. The light at the end of the tunnel. You expected something much more fancier, a tunnel of pure gold or vantablack bricks you’d have never seen in your life. But no. This is pure darkness. Your legs could just sink in at any time, if you weren’t careful enough. Much like throughout your life, you ever let yourself sink into the darkness below. But now, almost like you’ve forgotten yourself, it’s a distant vision from what used to be your life.
You look down. Your legs aren’t moving, but the light gets closer. Like instinctively, your soul is gliding, crawling towards this warm light. Only, it isn’t warm. The only feeling you feel is fear, fear of the unknown and fear of what’s yet to be.
The light blinds you, pierces through your eyes, filling you with what you’d describe a...sensation. A sensation of relief. Of serendipity. It feels as if this is your final destination. You haven’t come to terms with it, but you’re ready regardless. Almost like your spirit has accepted its fate, but your mind is conflicted.
A faint crying comes from the light. Not crying. A tune. A quiet hum, from an unearthly quartet. It reminds you faintly of what you’d describe as angels. A choir of angels. Despite this, it fills you with a small dread. The hum grows louder as you enter the light, your vision completely blinded from the luminosity. Your sense of dread is accompanied by a quiet peace in your soul. You’re not even conflicted. It’s like the two feelings were made for each other. A fear of crossing over, and a peace of mind that you’ve fulfilled your time on earth.
This is it.
And the world around you fades to black. All you hear is the terrifying but tranquil hum, sending you to sleep.

Osama bin Gur and On Laden or Osama bin Gunn (English USA'ma ben Kenobi, Japanese う - 様 ベ ン ヌ ラ デ ヌ, Arab. !! #?% ** ^ # * No., Hebrew. Benya Ladan) - a mythical character from the American mythology. Corresponds to the Russian Koschei. The final boss of the game "Soak World Terrorism", which was played by George W. Bush, but did not pass the first level "Take over the World".
The real UBL is a famous Hollywood actor, acting under the alias Ben Affleck and Mr. Bean. In 2001 he starred in the film "The Two Towers" as Saruman. According to the script of the film, four Arab pilots, having drunk a bottle of the Valery Chkalov cocktail, are arguing whether they can fly between the skyscraper cabins of the World Toilet Center. Subsequently, the film company "NATO-Film" filmed a sequel to this film called "Afghan-Taliban".
In 2007 he was elected president of Chechnya. It is assumed that in some year he will become the president of Russia (if Cthulhu gets fewer votes).
Killed allegedly in 2011, drowned in the Arabian Sea (twice). According to legend, he was previously the leader of the Al-Qaeda order of magicians, who, after his death, happily chose a new one.
Before his death, Osama bequeathed himself to clone. At the moment, on the planet Kamino, the local branch of al-Qaeda is raising an army of clones (numbering over 666 million) of bin Laden in order to enslave the world and destroy all the infidels.
Currently, Osama bin Laden lives in the Israeli town of Yitzhakovskoye, under the guise of Rabbi Beni Ladan, a secret from the rest of the world. It is also known that he is the secret leader of the top-secret Jewish terrorist group Al-Taqi-Da. The group's goals are unknown.
It is noteworthy that at the dawn of the formation of machine translators in 2003, Osama Bin Laden was translated into Russian as Osama Tray, which is loaded. Today auto-translators will answer that Osama Bin Laden is none other than Osama Bin Laden. The only question that remains is: thanks to what metamorphoses does O in English read like U in Russian?
