Description:
Alcest from France releases a new album. If there is such a thing as another world, it must be filled with sounds like this. If there is such a thing as another world, it must be filled with sounds like this. Alcest was formed in 1999 and released the demo "Tristesse hivernale" in 2001 and the EP "Le Secret" in 2005. At that time, their style could be categorized as "black metal. The band completed their unique style with their debut album "Souvenirs d?un Autre Monde" released in 2007. In 2004, leader Neige started a band called Amesoeurs, a fusion of black metal, post-punk, and goth, influenced by Burzum, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Sonic Youth, Katatonia, New Order, Joy Division, and others. Alcest has brought this style of music to perfection.Neige says that "Alcest is the sonic expression of an imaginary world without color, shape, or sound that I dreamed of as a child. It is no wonder that the band's music, which is simply beautiful, has transcended the boundaries of black metal and heavy metal, and has gained a wide fan base. Now they are releasing a new album, "Les Chants de l'Aurore". The title means "Song of the Dawn" or "Song of the Aurora Borealis" in French. About this album, Neige says, "This is a return to the original concept of Alcest. Like the first album, it is an exploration of another world. As he says, this is a work that can only be described as an expression of the beauty of another world. The opening number is "Komorebi. The opening number is "Komorebi," which of course is Japanese for "the sun filtering through the trees. Just by looking at the title, we can easily imagine what kind of world this album is trying to express. The melody, the vocals, the synthesizer arrangements. Everything is wrapped in an out-of-this-world beauty. This is the quintessential Alcest album.Members】Neige (vocals/guitar/bass/synth/piano/glockenspiel)Winterhalter (drums/percussion)
