	A Silver Mt. Zion - Wikipedia
		A Silver Mt. Zion is a post-rock band formed in 1999 by Godspeed You!
		Generally, A Silver Mt. Zion's politics are highly reminiscent of anarchism, with continuing motifs of "hope and joy" - reflecting a tendency toward post-left anarchy.
		Efrim himself is Jewish, and motifs relating to Judaism are occasionally present in the band's music (he described the band's recording of their first album as a "Jewish experience").

	A Silver Mt. Zion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Silver Mt. Zion is a group led by founding godspeed you fl emperor!
		To some extent, Mt. Zion was born out of a desire on the part of the godspeed players to work in a smaller musical ensemble; in effect, to escape some of the constraints that often accompany writing and arranging music democratically with nine musicians.
		For the band's second and third records, the line-up expanded to six players, including Becky, Ian, and Jessica, and the band re-named as The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band.

	Delusions of Adequacy Reviews - A Silver Mt. Zion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		SMZ have always been less dense and more technical than their cousins in Godspeed, and they have taken that approach to new levels on this album.
		SMZ builds their hooks out of down-and-out choirs, lilting strings, and martial percussion.
		Post-rock is a ridiculous term for something so orchestrated and symphonic, but The Silver Mount Zion uses very real song structures and a punk-rock kind of energy and urgency, and that makes for an amazing amalgamation of styles and sounds.

		to dismiss a silver mt. zion before hearing them, as one of many godspeed you fl emporer spin-offs is tempting.
		the apocalyptic ache is closer to the surface in a silver mt. zion, and in some cases stronger.
		a silver mt. zion aren’t only a godspeed side project, but a legitimate and important band on their own.

		Such is the acclaim of Godspeed You Black Emperor!, mother ship of tonight's headliners A Silver Mount Zion, that it has warranted a call of "thank you for everyone in town for showing up" from the stage.
		Where ASMZ differ is that the night passes completely unpunctuated by percussion.

		The National Baptist Convention, USA was first established in Silver Bluff, SC, twelve miles from Augusta, GA. The first church sprang up on the plantation of aristocrat John Galphin (Pelt and Smith, 29).
		The church at Silver Bluff survived and prospered throughout the Revolution, and today the Silver Bluff Baptist Church stands today as a lineal descendant of the first Negro Baptist church in America.
		In the South slave owners were hesitant to allow their slaves to form separate churches for fear it would encourage subversive tendencies, particularly after evidence that Nat Turner's rising in 1831 was fuelled by religious ideals.

	No Ripcord Live Review - The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band with Choir - King's Cross Scala, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Silver Mount Zion’s entrance is inauspicious to say the least, as their opening track comes to a halt with a big hole in the sound where a guitar should be.
		However, Silver Mount Zion’s approach is a little different, primarily through the addition to the mix of vocals.
		This one feature seems to affect their whole outlook, as the songs are structured far more like traditional songs than Godspeed’s, although it must be kept in mind that this is relative and the washes of sound that pass as tracks for SMZ would in no way ever be mistaken for Coldplay.

		is Silver Mount Zion’s most musically satisfying disc to date because, while the well-worn formulae are present, sonic variance and compositional modification has brought a welcome diversity to an increasingly wearisome aesthetic.
		Silver Mt Zion make music of extremes; very simple, inordinately miserable, utterly emotionally invasive, performed with such total, galvanising conviction that it's terrifying at times.
		A silver mt zion manifest the soundtrack to our daily lives....and in this world of pain and suffering and unknown security, their latest album punctuate our routine as we struggle thorugh the daily grind that is the rat race.

	The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band - Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward (Constellation)
		Godspeed You Black Emperor, and, by that right, A Silver Mt. Zion (I refuse to use the new name) are a creamy smooth milkshake, made up of Mogwai (the crescendos), early Tortoise (the whole "post-rock aesthetic"), Slint, Pink Floyd (the sprawling songs), the Boredoms (the dissonance), Rachel's (arrangements), and Rodan (that beautiful production value).
		ASMZ always have at least one or two incredible songs on their albums.
		A Silver Mt. Zion are a band unto themselves, sounding, yes, remarkably like the other Montreal based doom-saying ensemble, but having a certain charm that is their own.

	Palestine Explored: Mount Zion - CenturyOne Bookstore
		Ebal and Gerizim are each called a har (Deuteronomy 11:29); Zion, which is overlooked by most of the hills which I have described as standing round it, is repeatedly spoken of as a har (2 Kings 29:31; Psalm 2:6, &c.); and Olivet itself is in one place actually called by this name (Zechariah 14:4).
		As they gather silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will lay you on, and melt you.

	Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band - Horses In The Sky - Stylus Magazine
		Although most of these tracks are solid but not exceptional refinements of the drift in Thee Silver Mount Zion’s sound, opener “God Bless Our Dead Marines” is a serious misstep; the ending is rousing (again, massed almost unaccompanied voices) but it’s attached to the other two parts of the song too disjointedly.
		The more focused material in the middle of the album shows that Thee Silver Mount Zion don’t need to mess around with multi-part suites if they can’t get the parts to fit; one “Teddy Roosevelt’s Guns” is worth a dozen confusing messes.
		It may just be that as Thee Silver Mount Zion’s music moves closer in some ways to Godspeed’s there are inevitable diminishing returns as one crashing crescendo begins to feel very much like another, but if Horses In The Sky shows the problem worsening, it also points the way forward.

		A Silver Mount Zion hasn't taken a very big step at all since their last album, but actually might have taken a small step back toward sounding a bit too much like Godspeed You!
		Still, although the production lacks somewhat, and this formula has been overdone, ASMZ is still their own band that is able to put more heartbreaking music in an album than I can shake a stick at.
		The only thing that i feel is a problem with ASMZ, is their lack of consistancy.

		In their field recordings of survivalists and preachers, in their rare fragments of interview, but mostly in the swells and sighs of their epic music, they express a desperation at the world which is often heart-rending.
		That's the question raised by A Silver Mt Zion, the side project of three Godspeed members - guitarist/pianist Efrim, violinist Sophie and double bassist Thierry - augmented by another guitarist, violinist and cellist from Montreal.
		A Silver Mt Zion's album is called 'He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms' and revolves around Efrim's sense of loss following the death of his dog, Wanda.

		Most of the pieces here are of "manageable" length; only one crosses the ten minute mark, and another tune compensates by finishing in under five.
		Whereas GYBE favors thundering, electrifying musical peaks, The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra hangs its hat on a framework of mournful, otherworldly sentimentality.
