Moon Scales (Part II) Hours fly by, the sea sighs under faraway stars dropped as a trembling pinch of gold on the swell It begins its hypnotic dance, in which my discoloured gaze is engrossed Just as an airborne soul, I would like to disappear without fear under the waves, to hear their bewitched lament spring forth from the depths They'd call me from their kingdom of pearls and sharp marine scales to take me away from my kind, from a world which is foreign to me Holding their hand, slowly, I would like to sink into black waters welcoming me in silence To bid farewell to the glimmers of the morning, to let the cold currents purify my thoughts, petrify my flesh, so I can find sleep at the very bottom of the ocean
Living at a cabin on Lake Huron really makes memories from experiencing this song so grand. Seeing the moonlight over the water is something else. Been living in Alaska for the past six months, and besides driving down the Turnagain Arm or chilling out on the Kenai River, it doesn't compare. I'm going back to this spot on Lake Huron in a few days, and will for sure be jamming this album from start to finish.
Pefect song for painting, trust me. You can exorcise your demons through the brush and music at the same time. I imagine this as a background music for a loud scream in front of the ocean. Why is this life so confusing, why is it so hard to find a way in which you are satisfied of being alive and useful to the rest? Why are feelings trying to destroy what our mental discipline tries to build?

It took me some years from the first time I heard this album to perceive this music and now that I managed to it feels amazing. Powerful, brutal and yet magnificent and even elegant. It's a masterpiece.
im glad this album incorporates harsh vocals as well, as essential as the cleans are to the calming ethereal atmosphere a little bit of darkness is necessary on a metal album
Holy shit! As a *HUGE* fan of Black Metal...this is really goddamn good. I'd never heard of them before until I saw them on Lock Horns. Didn't even know this genre existed.
Such a visceral song, it embodies all that I look for and enjoy in Alcest. The blast beats, the crescendos and lulls, the tempo changes and especially the loud-soft dynamics. Wonderful.
Alcest and Agalloch, The forces that allow me wander lost through a majestic forest full of iridescent beauty. My known consciousness replaced by the desire to exist as one should, devoid of socially bred expectations and human constructs, in co-existence with the intrinsic aesthetics of the natural, true world. Alcest now actively carries that flame, however both groups will echo the hallways of eternity.
I'm a big fan of both black metal and shoegaze so when I heard of this thing called blackgaze I instantly left Wikipedia and came here although I don't even speak french. It is a sure thing that this band has its own style and Neige is a very talented musician being able to create such a good mixing of two completely different genres. Nevermind what term people uses to describe what this is, blackgaze sounds cool to me but you can even call it "beautiful music" or "pretty black metal" and it'd still be right.
I don't really care what elitists have to say, black metal doesn't all have to be super tr00 grimdark to be awesome. Alcest has really caught my attention recently with their bridge between BM and shoegaze. Truly beautiful and atmospheric stuff here.
Totally, I think Black metal(BLACKGAZE in this case) is the darkest and the most beautiful music at the same time, ruining it with this Shit-attitude is the most PATHETIC thing you can say about it. IMO elitists only listen to shit music. So fuck them, they just don't know what they miss.🤘🏼
5:17 :/ Dire adieu aux lueurs du matin, laisser les courants froids purifier mes pensées, statufier mes chairs, pour trouver le sommeil tout au fond de l'océan.
queria saber porque só comentários gringos aqui, pó também gosto pra caramba do Alcest é uma fusão perfeita entre natureza e ser humano sentimentos perfeitos, nostálgico!
Sou estudante de francês, se puder observar, verás que meus comentários são nessa língua, porém sou brasileiro; o Alcest é uma banda de verdade, que nos entrega música de verdade. Disparadamente a banda mais inovadora do Metal no século XXI. Neige é um gênio e daqui a algumas décadas estará em um patamar altíssimo!!!!
Hey! yo soy Colombiano y estoy seguro de que también me entienden así como yo les entiendo. Y estoy de acuerdo! Alcest es una banda que alcanza el climax emocional y espirutual con una intensidad y una belleza única. Saludos!
Enquanto no Brasil só tiver bandinhas de Metal preocupadas em lacrar e politicar o metal nacional nunca irá pra frente Enquanto isso bandas de toda parte do mundo disparam Alcest é uma prova concreta disto
On Benavente there was indeed a kind of "proto-moshpit" going on. I was like "WTF" looking at that. In other hand, the Oporto's concert was, by Niege himself, one of the best concerts Alcest ever gave. So intimate, so dreamy, and yet full of darkness. Not an evil darkness, but a mystical one. It was one of the most emotionally shows i ever saw.
I really don’t understand why so many black metal heads are so against this band yes their sound has changed but guess what people grow up and their taste changes and their influences also change…. They claim this isn’t trve black metal this isn’t trve cvlt I say who the fuck cares if it isn’t it sound amazing just because it doesn’t sound like another Bathory,Mayhem or Dark throne rip off doesn’t mean it’s garbage mindsets like this will make black metal stagnant….
Ay Pulu Saatler uçuyor, deniz; kabarcığın üzerinde titreyen bir tutam altın gibi düşmüş uzak yıldızların altında iç çekiyor. Hipnotize edici dansını başlatıyor, rengi atmış bakışlarımın daldığı. Tıpkı uçuşan bir ruh gibi, dalgaların altında korkusuzca kaybolmak isterdim; büyülenmiş ağıtlarının acele edişini derinlerden duymak için. Beni ırkımdan uzaklaştırmak için, inciden ve sivri deniz pulundan krallıklarından olduğumu söylerlerdi - benim yabancı olduğum bir dünyadan - Onların ellerini tutuyorum, yavaşça, beni sessizce karşılayan siyah sulara kapılmak isterdim Sabah ışıltılarına elveda demek için, soğuk akıntıların düşüncelerimi saflaştırması, bedenimi taşlaştırması için Böylece okyanusun en derinliklerinde uykuyu bulabilirim
Listened to it after watching Maya Deren's "Divine Horsemen" and "At Land".. I suddenly needed to dance, I started moving to the rythm of music and I could feel the inspiration from Voodoo ritual dances in my own movements and body, and then I entered in a dream-like state, where every step of mine had a precise meaning... Though, in those moments, I only cared about instinctively expressing myself and I succeded. I love every kind of art and I hope I'll be able to make it my job one day. Alcest are very inspiring and this song is beautiful.
They should be bigger in the states. they are amazing. Unfortunately I think they are too smart and too emotional and great dynamics for most American audiences. My wife and I saw them in Denver about a year ago and it was so tiny and amazing. They deserve more.
a mi también me pasa exactamente lo mismo D:. Si te gusta esta banda, te recomiendo amesoeurs que es otro proyecto de neige (el vocalista de alcest aunque si, es mas suave
The ending of this song is one of the greatest achievements in all of metal music.
the idiots will say ITS NOT METAL lol :(
@@Chris_yes Of course this is metal, the guitar distortion and wretched vocals are abrasive.
@@Chris_yes Because they're idiots
Why stop at metal?
Rupe obviously it’s obviously very black metal inspired, Alcest has an album or two that arent metal but this one definitely IS metal.
The feeling I got when first hearing this album still sticks with me after the years.
Yes totally, this music will probably never lose its magic for me. A true masterpiece.
same here
Bro I found this today and felt it immedialety. I'm listening to it on repeat for 6 hours now.
4:46 maybe the best arpeggio I've ever listened to in my life
Moon Scales (Part II)
Hours fly by, the sea sighs under faraway stars dropped as a trembling pinch of gold on the swell
It begins its hypnotic dance, in which my discoloured gaze is engrossed
Just as an airborne soul, I would like to disappear without fear under the waves, to hear their bewitched lament spring forth from the depths
They'd call me from their kingdom of pearls and sharp marine scales to take me away from my kind, from a world which is foreign to me
Holding their hand, slowly, I would like to sink into black waters welcoming me in silence
To bid farewell to the glimmers of the morning, to let the cold currents purify my thoughts, petrify my flesh, so I can find sleep at the very bottom of the ocean
Living at a cabin on Lake Huron really makes memories from experiencing this song so grand. Seeing the moonlight over the water is something else.

this song takes me to another world.
World of astonishing beauty beyond belief
3:14 never fails to give me the goosebumps.
That part is the pinacle of atmospheric metal to me. The pervious build up to this climax gets me every time
Same here brother, same here...
Pefect song for painting, trust me. You can exorcise your demons through the brush and music at the same time. I imagine this as a background music for a loud scream in front of the ocean. Why is this life so confusing, why is it so hard to find a way in which you are satisfied of being alive and useful to the rest? Why are feelings trying to destroy what our mental discipline tries to build?
I'm asking the same questions, let me know if you found answers...
Perfect song. No more to say !
mental discipline without feelings would make life boring. A good story has feelings in it.
Il faut forcer nos portes obscures afin d'y percevoir la lumière. Perce et tu verras
This gaves me Shin Megami Tensei vibes 😎

is that you Trent Reznor?
I dont listen to much metal anymore after 15 years of listening non-stop to it, but I always come back to this beauty! Amazing feels!
It took me some years from the first time I heard this album to perceive this music and now that I managed to it feels amazing. Powerful, brutal and yet magnificent and even elegant. It's a masterpiece.
+Jakub Libner I know right, they have a unique style!
The first time I ever listened to Alcest made me the happiest dude on earth.
5:48 it was at this moment you knew, you found an amazing band.
For me it was within the first 10 seconds :) My favorite band of all time after the first 2 minutes!
It still captivates me after ten years. That riff is just perfect.
Whole song has impressed me so much! Both parts and the rest songs!
3:30 This part, oh man this part ❤️
Never listened to Alcest before, but fell in love with this song when I heard it live last night. Spectacular.
Cette chanson... Ces paroles n’emmène tellement loin...
im glad this album incorporates harsh vocals as well, as essential as the cleans are to the calming ethereal atmosphere a little bit of darkness is necessary on a metal album
Balanceee :D
I discovered Alcest too late, but man... I'm glad I did!
Me too, after L'envol ;)
He died so young
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
This album always draws me back. Can't get enough of it
timeless music
6:57 hits me every time.
Agree !!!
Holy shit! As a *HUGE* fan of Black Metal...this is really goddamn good. I'd never heard of them before until I saw them on Lock Horns. Didn't even know this genre existed.
Just makes me remember setting on a trip with my friends, appreciating the road view in a rainy day... One of tje best memories I could ever had
Such a visceral song, it embodies all that I look for and enjoy in Alcest. The blast beats, the crescendos and lulls, the tempo changes and especially the loud-soft dynamics. Wonderful.

Ok.
Amazing! So emotional and full of ambience. Type of music who make you dive deep into your thoughts and feelings. Pure art!
that first blast beat part is beyond epic
Incroyablement intense.
6:20

Wayward Stoner Same, I had no clue it existed until recently. And I am really happy I found it
It feels like someone is caressing your being and rocking you to sleep while letting you know that you need not worry about anything.
This song was fucking amazing live, the bass tone is perfection.
Alcest should be doing this kinda music again.
i loved Shelter, but Kodama is closer to the harsher stuff at times. Eclosion is amazing
eclosion is fucking perfect
Yes it is
Eclosion is very good, but nothing since "Les Voyages..." has touched the same realm as Ecailles de Lune
They still (kinda) are.
Here ten years after it was released on TH-cam.
We got Neige among us.
What a time to be alive.
all the song is hallucinating!! .. but since the 2:44 every single note blows my mind away!!
Aquí la Naturaleza y la Música se fusionan
sí!
jajaja :)
I can feel my spirit vibing to this song
3:12 when the song becomes from amazing to divine!
5:48 but!!
16gordo16 You know the entire song is just wonderful!
16gordo16 5:48 level up👍👍👍
Agreed. What a moment.
Alcest foreveeer
4:46 This is when it really slaps in my opinion :D
thank you
I don't usually comment here, but this is a fucking masterpiece! Rock on!
How much I wish to listen to this live.
There isn't any part of this song that I do not enjoy. Neige really knows what a good melody is.
Really love this song
I don't really care what elitists have to say, black metal doesn't all have to be super tr00 grimdark to be awesome. Alcest has really caught my attention recently with their bridge between BM and shoegaze. Truly beautiful and atmospheric stuff here.
I couldn’t agree more

One of the few songs that has actually made me cry...
teamster?
WeWantYouToStay - yes.
@@Jay-vc8qk I'm gonna tell everyone on sput u cried to this
WeWantYouToStay they actually know - I made a list about it ...
@@Jay-vc8qk Nah no shame bro, this is one of the most beautiful songs of all time
Gran canción, gran álbum♥
Yeah I listen to a lot of music and this is the real deal and I hope they keep cutting deeper. It is what it is
This song just moved my emotions
I love this record, Alcest is the best!
Tell me honestly. don't we metalheads try so vast range of arts to express our emotions which is just sometimes impossible to express in words?
Sure, and it doesn't only apply to us !
Epic, one of the best of Alcest
Completely in love with this song.
5:17 :/ Dire adieu aux lueurs du matin, laisser les courants froids purifier mes pensées, statufier mes chairs, pour trouver le sommeil tout au fond de l'océan.
If Tycho had metal elements, I imagine he'd sound like this.
This is gorgeous.
I loooove Tycho, espacially Dive who is actually looking at me on the desk

é nós, parceiro
Enquanto no Brasil só tiver bandinhas de Metal preocupadas em lacrar e politicar o metal nacional nunca irá pra frente

Musicians across time: How can we find a way to elicit every possible emotion in one song?
Alcest: Yes.
I've always liked this song, with some Bergtatt vibes on the heavy part...
they are amazing, just so mesmarising and trance like
4:46 ..............mortal time stops..
love the vocals
amazing song so beatiful
thanks for upload

Ca me surprends c'est la premiere fois que j'entends un truc pareil
C'est comique et Génialllllllllllll pour moi :3
N'est-ce pas ?!
My favorite
mi cancion favorita de Alcest ...
4:47
and 6:20
Just brilliant.
This is the best shoegaze black metal song ever. Beyond perfect, ethereal and heavy at the same time.
That part somehow resembles the calm after the storm, love that part too!
A beautiful song. Evokes memories of Heart of the ages by In the Woods... In fact may surpass anything they’ve done

people have no ears lmao this is the best album ever
it’s honestly infuriating seeing how people would rather listen to garbage like kodak black
@@goldehh1069 We got the deluxe remaster cd book the other month and it sounds so amazing compared to the original mix.
@@Chris_yes COOL!
Divine!
This song is so good lol
Winter halter is some of the best drummers in black metal
thanks!
Masterpiece
i can't believe in what am i hearing, so fucking good
Magnifique ! Je suis amoureux !
quel groupe , quelle musique , putain c'est vraiment trop bon ! ALCEST president !!
hace tiempo que no escuchaba Alcest, qué recuerdos
+black sun Recién los acabo de descubrir hoy, no puedo creer que haya pasado tantos años sin haberlos escuchado...
a veces pasa eso con algunas bandas, esas son excepciones creo yo
Creo que sí, Alcest es una de las pocas bandas que prácticamente me gustan todas las canciones
a mi también me pasa exactamente lo mismo D:. Si te gusta esta banda, te recomiendo amesoeurs que es otro proyecto de neige (el vocalista de alcest aunque si, es mas suave
La voy a escuchar, porque una de las cosas que hace tan impresionante a Alcest es la voz tan relajante y melódica que tiene Neige
5:48 my heart was going to explode..
Mi Ho its a beautiful part of the song
Que manera de disfrutar este tema...
junior, te ame, gracias por cultivarme buena musica
It`S A.... GREAT!
| Slowdive || Ulver || Opeth || Slowdive again |
Ecailles part 2 timeline.
Fucking accarute
:o
Jorge Silva Agalloch?
Opeth? Are you shitting me? Not even close. And Slowdive is a huge stretch. Ulver, maybe, during the black metal vocals.
FÚCK YOU ALCEST IS UNIQUE
damn what a gem. what a great niche of metal
I love this, BrownGazeMetalRap
Alcest is home, Alcest is solitude
You are welcome
:)
Hermoso 🖤🖤
Love it
Amazing
4:30 from this moment rip to all who didn't hear the beautiful parttt
Cada dia creo mas que Neige es de otra galaxia...
Beautiful!
Beautifulllllll.....
this is amazing... I used to listen to this album all the time back in jobcorps! got me through a whole bunch of boring shit haha
