  • Released in 2007, Alcest's debut album, Souvenirs d'un autre monde, marks the starting point of the band's extraordinary career. With the release of Souvenirs d'un autre monde, Alcest mastermind Neige forged a luminous new sound that floats on the fringes of metal, yet incorporates emotions of euphoria, bliss and nostalgia.
  • Playing all the instruments on Alcest's debut full-length Souvenirs d'Un Autre Monde ('Memories of a Future World') Neige builds layers upon layers of ecstatically distorted guitars that evoke obvious comparisons to My Bloody Valentine's sonic extravaganzas and less obvious nods to the brooding minor-key post-metal of Jesu, only perhaps a bit.

Alcest is a French muisical project frae Bagnols-sur-Cèze, Fraunce, foondit an lead bi Neige (Stéphane Paut).[3] It began in 2000 as a black metal solo project bi Neige, suin a trio, but follaein the release o their first demo in 2001, baund members Aegnor an Argoth left the baund, leavin Neige as the sole member.

Alcest souvenirs d un autre monde rare

De esta epoca en solitario Alcest lanza el EP Le secret el cual combina black metal con shoegaze pero no es hasta Souvenirs d'un autre monde (2007) que alcest cambia completamente su estilo alejado del black metal (por lo menos en las voces y ritmos) haciendo mas melodica la banda.

Bezogen auf Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde, LP, Album, RE, RP, 10t, PRO 090LPX, PRO090LPX Bought new and it's very obviously warped, just like the last Alcest LP I bought a couple years ago. I'm going to avoid buying any vinyl on the Prophecy label again. View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the Digipak CD release of Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde on Discogs.

This marked a chynge in style, as Alcest's subsequent releases hae mair aften been describit as shoegazing mixin numerous rock an metal influences, includin black metal an post-metal. In 2009 Winterhalter frae Les Discrets joined Alcest as drummer, efter aicht years wi Neige as the sole full time member.

Concept[eedit | eedit soorce]

As a child, Neige haed experiences[4] o being in contact wi a 'far aff kintra', which he generically refers tae as 'Fairy Land'. Alcest serves as the muisical adaptation o the memories frae this 'itherwarld'.[5][6] Neige intends for Alcest tae be a journey for the listener tae this warld through his memories. This chynge in concept was first introduced on Le Secret. Souvenirs d'un autre monde will serve as a literal summation o the concept ahint the baund.[7]
