Alcest - Les Voyages De L'Âme [2012]


Genre(s): Black Metal (early), Black Metal/Shoegaze (later)

Lyrical theme(s): Winter (old); Melancholy, Nostalgia, Beauty (now)

Origin: France (Bagnols-sur-Cèze, Languedoc-Roussillon (early) / Paris, Île-de-France (now))

Formed in 1999

Solo project of Neige. As a child, Neige had dreams about a "Fairy Land", "a place with colours, forms and sounds that do not exist here." The music of Alcest is highly influenced by these dream experiences.

Starting out playing raw black metal, Alcest soon evolved into black metal with strong post-rock and shoegaze influences.

The band's name Alcest doesn't have any meaning, Neige just chose it for its noble ethereal sounding and wouldn't imagine any other name in its pronunciation ("Al-sest") to fit better with this music.
