The story
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, also known simply as Silver Mt. Zion, and abbreviated to SMZ, are a Canadian post-rock band that formed in 1999, originating from Montreal, Quebec. The group was founded by Godspeed You! Black Emperor co-founder Efrim Menuck, who was joined by fellow Godspeed members Sophie Trudeau and Thierry Amar. Aside from these core members, Silver Mt. Zion has undergone almost yearly personnel changes, evolving by stages from a mostly instrumental trio at the time of its first recordings into an eight-piece group, and then in 2008 into a strongly vocal quintet.
