Slow Riot for New Zéro Canada is the first EP by Godspeed You! Black Emperor appeared, in 1999 the Montreal record label Constellation Records and then later re-released by Kranky Records in Chicago.
Packaging
The artwork and packaging of the EP mentioned only very scarce the name of the tape or plate. On the cover and on the back cover, the names are not. Only in the liner notes is the name of Godspeed You! Black Emperor mentioned. The album title is available only on the CD back. The song titles are not mentioned at all.
The Jewel Case CD is also unusual. It opens namely not - as usual - right, but the left. This is due to the Hebrew text on the cover, which is read from right to left.
Transcribed are the Hebrew letters " Tohu va bohu " ( תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ ). Tohu va is bohu both used in Genesis 1:2 and Jeremiah 4:23 book. You could call it with " Wasteland " and " scratch " translate. The King James Bible is translated in Genesis 1:2 with "without form, and void ( without form, and void ) ", the German Luther Bible ( version 1984) with formless and empty. The inlay of the CD this text is placed in a higher context by an extract from Jer 4:23-27 - both in Hebrew and English.
The back cover of the EP shows a diagram with Italian instructions how to make a Molotov cocktail.
BBF3
The song title " BBF3 " refers to the interviewee, which " Blaise Bailey Finnegan III " is called, whose eccentric and angry statements form the core of the song. He has an interview with the band in a field recording. Finnegan quotes a poem which he allegedly wrote himself, but it is in truth, from the lyrics to "Virus", a song by the hard rock band Iron Maiden, which was written by her former singer Blaze Bayley. GY! BE knew about it apparently nothing when they released the EP. Blaise Bailey Finnegan III is probably also the same person who at the beginning of the song " Providence " ( on their first studio album F ♯ A ♯ ∞, 1997) is interviewed and some versions of " BBF3 " also include this sample.
