Godspeed You! Black Emperor Hiatus Still On

Posted by Michael on February 10, 2008

Canadian post-rockers Godspeed You! Black Emperor have revealed that the band's hiatus is very much on.  In a recent interview guitarist/keyboardist Efrin Menuck commented on the band's dynamic:

On a personal level I now find [Godspeed You! Black Emperor] to be inappropriate [to do]. There’s a complicated back story. I reached a point whereby I was no longer willing to contribute to the steering of the ship; it was like, ‘Okay now, someone else point the direction, I love all of you, but I need to ride shotgun for a while.'  ...I think that bands do have a short shelf life...they should be able to ply their trade ‘til they no longer want to.
