- Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a Canadian post-rock band based in Montreal, Quebec. Formed in 1994, the ensemble have been quite influential in its respective genre, with bands from as far as Hong Kong citing them as influences in their musical work. Though most often classified as post-rock, they exist outside any established scene and take influences from a range of styles including progressive rock, punk, classical & avant-garde.
Each record consists of a few fairly long tracks (mostly 15-25mins), divided into "movements" which are sometimes specified in the record sleeve. The band members have in the past been reluctant to go in for the traditional self-publicizing interviews & have openly expressed their distaste for the mainstream, corporation-owned music industry. This has given them a shadowy reputation. Little is known about them personally.

They truly hav a post-apocalyptic sound.
And that's what what I love. From the moment u hear "The Dead Flag Blues (Intro)" there is no going back
In terms of post-rock, you could do worse than to check out:
Yndi Halda, Friends in the Mountains, Mono, Rachel's, Stars of the Lid and really any of the other projects Godspeed members are now involved in.
Really glad to see this group represented on Bebo. There are a couple of videos on youtube made by fans worth putting up, found below:

There are also a couple on my music flashbox profile but I can't be bothered digging those up

you guys have probably heard of them. but Explosions in the Sky are a fantastic post-rock group. Not quite as symphonic as G!YBE but still fantastic.
Yeah, ASMZ are pretty awesome. Didn't really love their newest album though
Apparently, Efrim said pretty recently that GY!BE's music wasn't relevant today. Couldn't agree less... oh well...
On another topic, if anyone wants to suggest another band here that they think other people will like please do. Could get the page more active again and I'm sure people would appreciate the recommendations
no. still on hiatus though.
Bought the 3 Albums, plus Slow Riot, on Amazon.
One big trip.
wow...GY!BE fans on bebo. weird.
Probably one of the most important groups in existance
brilliant group! my favourite GYBE release is F#A#infinity
