Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a nine-piece instrumental rock band from Canada that was formed in 1994. They are typically classified as post-rock because of their compositional style which features long, orchestrated rock songs that often feature traditional instruments and atmospheric sound samples. But their music is also influenced by more conventional styles of rock music, including progressive- and punk-rock. Their live performances are famous for the projected film loops which are produced by the band, and are thematic accompaniment for the music.
