Kollaps Tradixionales

Kollaps Tradixionales is the sixth full-length album by the experimental rock group Thee Silver Mt. Zion under the name Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. It was released in February 2010 on Constellation Records. The songs "I Built Myself a Metal Bird", "I Fed My Metal Bird the Wings of Other Metal Birds" and "There Is a Light" were played on earlier tours.

For this album, the band started a blog on their official website. This is also the first record with drummer David Payant, after the former drummer Eric Craven left the band.

Typical for Constellation Records releases, the album was released with some extras. The CD comes in a gatefold, paperboard jacket. The vinyl is available as a double 10" that includes a copy of the CD, a 16-page art book with collages made by Menuck and filmmaker/photographer Jem Cohen, and a limited edition poster.
