The Alcest is a metal band formed in 2000 by a musical project, a recent revelation, born from the mind of Neige (new young genius of the extreme metal scene), founder of A-me-soeurs and Peste Noire, as well as current singer of the Forgotten Woods.

beginning Seeing is not particularly striking, but it can be said that this is a wonderful CD (metal?) But it is better to leave more detailed comments in most of those in the know gender. Following the split album with "Tristesse hivernale / Aux Funérailles du monde, Neige (snow in French) changes the sound of black metal band in a style Music by the late shoegaze.Più, Neige announced in a blog that the sequel to "Souvenirs d'un autre monde" has been recorded from 27 July to mid August 2009, and the output planned for March 2010.La promise was held March 29, 2010 when he released the second full-length album of Alcest "Ecailles de lune."
Alcest is a musical project born in 2000 from the mind of genialoide Neige ("snow" in French, aka Stephan Paul) former member of Peste Noire, deadly , Phest, A-me-Soeurs, and Lantlos Valfunde which joined shortly after two other musicians, Aegnor (ex Peste Noir and Valfunde) and Argoth (ex Peste Noire), all from Bagnois-sur-Ceze, France . The band initially launched a demo titled "hivernale Tristesse" (2001) with black metal sound. Shortly thereafter, however, the two group members who had joined the Alcest, and Aegnor Argoth, left the band Neige and then returned to the single exponent. The French musical genius over the years has changed the sound of black metal band in a style close to shoegaze music. In 2009 joined the band drummer Winterhalter.
child's vision of a child, Neige often imagined to be in contact with a distant country, a "fairy land": a fantastic, magical place, where a small live free and happy group of elves, with "colors, shapes and sounds that do not exist here" as he likes to call. His music is deeply tied to the concept of ancestral and tend to portray a place and feeling ecstatic, a project, a real research , a perpetual wandering through strange places, hoping to shed light on the mysteries of this esoteric experience.
Alcest The project is the musical adaptation of the fantastic memories of this world: the music Neige of Alcest tries to bring to the imagination of the memories of his childhood. This kind of concept was introduced with the ep "The Secret." Neige in 2007 signed a contract with the German label Prophecy Productions and "Souvenirs d ' un autre monde "has continued this intent.
The first reviews of "The Secret" credit the style of black metal version Alcest as a cold and melancholy, with great surprise and disappointment by Neige. The French musician fact , in an interview that appeared on the webzine Aeternitas Tenebrarum Music Foundation, said, annoyed at these interpretations, as well as opinions that decreed his voice filled with a dark mood: "A dark mood ???... I am truly saddened that opinion, because it shows that I failed to communicate what I had in me ... I just wanted to create a song "mother", hypnotic and surreal, similar to what I feel like relating to the fairy tale, certainly not a "dark hand." My melodies are so strange, but not stressful, at least I hope not! The poor production and the song choked can perhaps explain things.
If you had at least understood the meaning of my text, I do not think you would have said so, because texts are not sad or anxious, but I hold to the deadly. I plans to re-record "The Secret" very soon, I hope that this time there will be no misunderstanding because you are not the first person to evaluate my music as dark music. "Another misconception is the idea that there are female vocals in" The Secret ", the voice is rather more ep to Neige. "Souvenirs d'un autre monde", however, includes the female voice of Audrey A-me-soeurs. In a recent interview with indie label run by a Neige, the French singer said that "Souvenirs d'un autre monde" took between 5 and 7 years to be published, and when he was asked to do another full-lengt told his fans that "must take the time to really understand "Souvenir" and must still wait before you can listen to an album. "Later, Neige announced in a blog that the sequel to" Souvenir "was recorded from 27 July to mid August 2009, and the output expected to March 2010. This promise was March 29, 2010 when they released their second full-length album of Alcest "Écailles de lune."
An unknown kid from across the Alps made it possible for a surprising marriage of Burzum and My Bloody Valentine: What was it, shoegaze played (and sung) with black-metal fury? Or rather black metal somehow fallen into a trance of ecstatic rapture shoegazer ? The idea was not even so innovative: just think of Ulver's "Bergtatt" or certain episodes of the same Burzum to have illustrious predecessors. But whatever it was "The Secret", and caring about what was original, one thing is certain: this short work was a small casket of unprecedented beauty. Even a small thing but just to give vent to an immense talent, also served in various other bands (including the revived Forgotten Woods and the wonderful A-me-soeurs).
Alcest But now finally gives us no more than small bursts, but an entire collection of snapshots of his world full of spleen, and it does this time of giving up all the residues extreme, to devote himself to revitalizing a form of magic and shoegaze naive of devastating emotional power. Layers upon layers of guitars welcome us with a majestic and articulated intro, then a short-range acoustic voices of children, and here "Printemps Emeraude" explodes in a dazzling triumph of colors, in a heartbreaking melody, in a wall of sound that soars to heights unattainable.
long song, quiet and safe passage, Neige knows how to take the time necessary to allow his paintings to hit with all their evocative power. The title track , opens with a soothing acoustic arpeggio, and then press on the pedal and distortion of the dish another unforgettable melody, and another wall of guitars with fiery passion. "Les Iris" further slowing the pace, mood becomes less and smiling more meditative, the guitars seem to tremble with unhappy memories. Neige Yet the song remains as light as a feather when, in the end, he finds himself immersed in spatial arrangements and tumultuous.
dominates, in fact, it is still the sweetness that pervades both the sunny and bucolic scenes, though imbued with infinite maliconia of "Ciel Errant" , since hopeless romanticism of the extraordinary "Sur l'autre je t'attendrai banks", where the female voice (Audrey Sylvain) gives to airy purity further melodies painted by Neige. "Tir nan Og" closes the work in tone from playful "night of the Sabbath, at least until a pensive acoustic brackets slightly darkens the atmosphere.
But the final flight takes light that leads us to fade, to - unfortunately - the release from the dream of peace and tranquility which Neige has created.
I Alcest revived memories of the distant past of early Slowdive, and even more heat, spontaneity and ingenuity can immerse the listener in the most pristine mists of memory The landscapes are the interiors of Alcest more precious could happen to the beloved shoegaze overwhelmingly to return to life as we loved in its purest form. Years and years running after next big thing extraction so-called indie , a most of the other inconsistent, and behold the miracle does a 21 year old French born in the slums of the reviled black metal with a bitter, little masterpiece kidnap, one hopes, the heart of all of you.
