Silver Mt. Zion

You may be mixing up two different entities in your request. "Silver Mt. Zion," also known as Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra (and several other variations), is not associated with "Anjunadeep 12 Sampler: Part 1," which is related to the record label Anjunadeep. Therefore, I will provide a biography for Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra without reference to the Anjunadeep release.

Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra, often abbreviated to Silver Mt. Zion and known under various other names, is a Canadian band that originated from Montreal, Quebec. Formed in 1999 by Efrim Menuck, Thierry Amar, and Sophie Trudeau, who are also core members of the esteemed post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Silver Mt. Zion began as a project to explore musical ideas that couldn't fit within the scope of Godspeed. Their sound is characterized by experimental rock with post-rock and avant-garde influences, incorporating a variety of instruments, deeply felt lyrics, and a raw, emotional intensity.

Their debut album, "He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms," set the tone with its haunting compositions and sparse arrangements. Over the years, the band has undergone numerous line-up changes and has expanded their sound palette while maintaining a fierce independence and political ethos. The band's discography, including albums like "Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upward" and "Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything," exhibits a passionate approach to music-making, with a focus on thematic exploration of social and political issues. Known for their gripping live performances, Silver Mt. Zion has cultivated a dedicated following with their deeply passionate and sonically rich body of work.
