While all post-metal pioneers except Broadrick are American, the genre soon spread internationally. In particular, the Japanese band Boris, formed in 1992, "have always embraced the spirit and vitality of the vibrant movement" and some of their works, such as the 2005 albums "Dronevil" and "Pink", have become influential to it. Boris often employ elements of drone music and have collaborated with prominent drone metal band Sunn O))), who have also been associated with post-metal. Several European bands also gained prominence within the genre, including Cult of Luna from Sweden, whose sound is indebted to Isis' "Oceanic", Amenra from Belgium, who signed to Neurosis' label Neurot Recordings and rival their predecessors in sheer spiritual intensity, and Year of No Light from France, who have transitioned from a sludge-oriented sound to monumental instrumental compositions, "beautifully layered, but still dark and heavy".
