Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a Canadian post-rock band formed in 1994 in Montreal, Quebec. Originally known as Godspeed You Black Emperor!, the band later changed their name to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. They went on hiatus between 2004 and 2009. With a unique experimental sound, they specialize in instrumental music.

The band consists of Mike Moya on guitar, Efrim Menuck on guitar, Mauro Pezzente on bass, David Bryant on guitar, Thierry Amar on bass, Sophie Trudeau on violin, Aidan Girt on percussion, and Tim Herzog also on percussion.

Please note that any references to the [a=God Speed You Black Emperor!] cassette release from 1994 should be directed to the solo project of Efrim Menuck.

A decade has passed since the release of Yanqui Uxo, the last album by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. They seek to preserve the thrill of anonymous and uncalculated transmission, knowing full well that these days, anti-strategy risks being tagged as a strategy, non-marketing framed as its opposite, and deeply held principles they consider fundamental to health as likely to be interpreted as just another form of stealth. Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! delivers two mighty sides of music (bookended by two new drones) that the band had been working up prior to their 2003 hiatus, which they have now shaped into something definitively stunning, immersive and utterly true to their legacy. The future looks dark indeed, but on the evidence of this new recording, Godspeed appears wholly committed to staring it down, channeling it, and fighting for some rays of sound (and flickers of light) that feel righteous, unflinching, hopeful and pure.

LP - 180 gram vinyl with tip on sleeve, 7" and 12 x 48 inch poster.
