Godspeed You! Black Emperor, formed in Montreal, are known for their orchestral chamber rock with hypnotic crescendos. They gained acclaim with the 2000 album "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven." After a hiatus, they returned with "'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!" and continue crafting politically poignant works like 2024's "No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead." Known for their powerful live shows, they often collaborate with visual artists, and their performances feature a large ensemble and diverse instrumentation.
