Formed in Montreal in 1994, Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a pioneering instrumental collective known for expansive, cinematic compositions that fuse post-rock, drone, and ambient soundscapes. Their work blends layered guitars, strings, and field recordings to evoke themes of resistance and resilience. Acclaimed albums such as *Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven* and *Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!* have earned them critical respect and a devoted global following. Fiercely independent and politically charged, the group continues to redefine the boundaries of experimental rock.
