"Godspeed You! Black Emperor... is a Canadian post-rock band which originated in Montreal, Quebec in 1994....
After the release of their debut album in 1997, the group toured regularly from 1998 to 2002. In 2003, the band announced an indefinite hiatus in order for band members to pursue other musical interests. In the intervening period, the group was occasionally rumored to have broken up, but the band finally reconvened for a tour beginning in late 2010. In October 2012, the band released their fourth album, 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!'.
Even though the band has never broken into the mainstream, they have gained an extremely dedicated cult following, and remain very influential in the post-rock genre." (Allmusic.com)
So that counts me to the members of the 'cult following', theri songs usually have a symphonic length and often build up to ecstatic climaxes.
