Is It Metal? Wednesday: Alcest

Posted about 1 year ago

More French bon bons from Monsieur Niege. You'd be hard pressed to hear any metal at all in his band Alcest. Tell me this doesn't sound like some long lost Slowdive single: soft, grey, drinking tea on a rainy morning music. Nevertheless, this disc, Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde, topped many a black metalhead's Best Of lists. Go figure--but it's beautiful anyway.

  2. Dr Locrian says 'Tis a mystery to me why they're beloved by the corpsepainted hordes. But it's a gorgeous disc, and there are quite a few metal bands playing with these ingredients in quite interesting ways.
