Godspeed You! Black Emperor has announced a 2018 tour following the release of their latest album Luciferian Towers. The band will perform across Mexico and the U.S. and a performance at Houston’s Day for Night Festival after closing out their European tour. Godspeed formed in 1994 in Montreal, Quebec. They recently released  the opening track to their newest album in August, called “Undoing a Luciferian Towers.”

Luciferian Towers came out in September and follows their 2015 release, Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress. The band said the album was “informed by the following grand demands: an end to borders, the total dismantling of the prison-industrial complex, healthcare, housing, food and water acknowledged as an inalienable human right and the expert fuckers who broke this world never get to speak again.”
