- Alcest was formed in 2000 by Neige who pioneered the blackgaze sound combining elements of post-metal and shoegaze. In 2009, he was joined by then Les Discrets drummer Winterhalter rounding out the duo as we know of today. The band has released 6 critically lauded albums with the most recent being 2019’s Spiritual Instinct. Defying genres and appealing to fans of both indie rock and heavy metal, Alcest continue their musical and spiritual explorations on Les Chants De L’Aurore.

Komorebi 木漏れ日 in Japanese is the word for the feeling of beauty and wonder when you look up and see the sun's rays filtering through the trees.
Karaoke is Japanese for tone deaf😊
Already on my second listen. Alcest is always worth the wait and this is a great way to enjoy the summer solstice
Huge fan of Alcest. Love the new album🤘Great review! You nailed it.
Riley wearing a woods shirt! Perfect for an Alcest review \m/
Love the tunes and vibes from Alcest. Gotta give this new one some spins. Vive la France! 🇫🇷
Fuck yeah Alcest rules. Top notch Blackgaze.
Nobody does blackgaze like Alcest. ❤
Pretty sure Ru Paul carries the torch pretty well too
@@shredward666 Haha! I see what you did there.
@@princessolmeca2933can we all agree that this is a terrible genre descriptor 😂
@@shredward666 Yeah, you're right. I think "Post-black metal" sounds better than "blackgaze," anyway. 😂
@@princessolmeca2933 The "gaze" part comes from shoegaze, though, which is different from "post".
Agalloch is my favorite metal band, but Alcest is definitely my favorite that is still active.
I've been a casual fan of this band for a while and I found your review super insightful : ) Love the way you break everything down
Never did I think I’d see Alcest on Banger. But one of your faves is Fluisteraars and damn if they are not strikingly similar.
Les Chants De L’Aurore is very similar in sound to Écailles de lune, which is by far my favourite Alcest album, so I am absolutely stoked by it. Loved every track. This is definitely going to be my second favourite album of theirs after a few more listens.
Great review, but also love the Woods of Ypres shirt, one of the greatest Canadian bands!
Album is fucking beautiful. Felt like I was floating through the first listen.
Thank you for existing, being awesome, beautiful, and for your compassion for music.
One of my favorite bands
Love this band, so excited for this album
Nice to see you at the festival.
Already on my third listen. This album's just great.
Shitter-ton is so much cuter than metric-shit-ton! Not into the album but that doesn't mean others aren't. Great review!
I’m so looking forward to seeing Alcest in Madchester.
I haven’t listened to them since 2016 in Colombia. I can’t wait
Alcest fuckin rules
Great review, only thing I disagree with is saying they've gotten progressively softer with each release. 2014s Shelter is the poppiest thing they've done and they followed that with Kodama that had some heavier moments back in. Still great review.
There was this strange moment when i heard "L'envol" in this part a few minutes in that was this wild "holy" moment, and every time i hear this abum it comes back to me
Great shout-outs \m/ \m/ Ulcerate is right up my alley!
Every new ulcerate is better than the last. amazing.
I've fallen off of Alcest, but I really enjoyed Les voyages de l'âme, so maybe I'll use this album as a re-introduction. I have a couple shoutouts as well. Anyone who is a fan of Lamb of God should check out the new album from Montreal death metalers Derelict, and their album Versus Entropy. Also, for those amongst you looking for some excellent stoner doom, I present Classic Songs of Death and Dismemberment by The Ghost Next Door. Last, but certainly not least, check out the album The Formless Fires by the incredible one-man melodic death/black metal band Kvaen
Thanks for those shoutouts!
Saw them back in 2019. A magical experience
Fortress Fest was incredible. Such a damn good time.
I enjoyed this album a lot! Alcest are the Black Gaze Masters
It seems like it has a mix of all their previous work, plus some new stuff. It's great! I do prefer Spiritual Instinct and Kodama, but this album did not disappoint and will likely be my album of the year.
You saw Panopticon? Nice! I love what I've heard of Alcest but I need to dig into their discog more.
Hey i recognise your woods of ypres shirt awesome band .
Love the Woods shirt!
Great album! They have been on an upward trajection since shelter! I need to re-listen to shelter. I initially did not care for it upon release. Not because it was all shoegaze but because I thought it was just a little one-dimensional.
Awesome review as always 🙏🤘🤘
I agree with your take on this 100%. It's really great, and I love it, but it does get a little bit one note by the time you get to the end. That said, I like all the songs individually. It only becomes an issue when listening to the whole album.
Top album of the year, so far the best one of this year i love alcest 🖤
Can't wait to check this out. They remind me of Japan's Envy.
Hey that first demo, what’s it called again???
Tristesse hivernale
Anyone know if the Vinyl of this album should come with an insert with lyrics and credits?
Will definitely check this out off the back of this🤘
Great review! Best release date for this album. And on the opposite side of the rainbow you have an also incredible album from Ulcerate to darken your day 😂
More Riley please🤘
Beautiful album, Alcest music gives life more meaning!
bruh the way she talked about this record sounded like a borderline 5, which caused me to actually be surprised by the 4 lol.
anyway, amazing record, might be a 5 for me personally.
Am I the only one who doesn't really enjoy it when bands go softer, mellower and more accessible with each subsequent album? I can't for the life of me understand why these traits are automatically associated with terms such as "growth", "maturity", and "progression", when there's plenty of examples of bands that, over time, changed their sound drastically in the completely opposite direction, and I'd argue that they grew, matured, and progressed as a result. Gorguts and Blut Aus Nord come to mind.
Nice Album!!
Very enjoyable🤘🤘🤘
Nothing is like Alcest nowadays
Niege had a NDE that’s why he is very spiritual.
Thunk u
Prefer their latest "Spiritual instincts" better, the new one would be a grower I guess.
Fans of the band will enjoy, but this album won't win over any new fans. I personally wish Neige used his epic harsh vocals more on this, as well.
5:50 just wana say that this is absolutely false. The drums are maybe like 5% black metal, it’s very heavily rooted in jungle beats and other genres of music, that’s what makes them special.
Alcest always 5 out of 5 skulls
FIRST!½
Not my cup of tea. Skip...respectfully.
I'm still surprised that Metalheads give a shit about Alcest. I just can't get into it at all. Seen them live as well and was bored to tears. To each his/her own I guess, greetings from France.
They have great atmosphere imo
Ironically you answered your own question with the last sentence.
@@Mp57navy Good point mate!
I listen almost exclusively to metal, and I find them the exact opposite of boring lol, there are a lot of basic boring bands in the metal scene.
Have you tried the following songs (some of the more 'metal' ones) :
Ecailles de lune pt 2
Percees de lumière
Faiseurs de mondes
Là où naissent les couleurs nouvelles
Je suis d'ailleurs
Oiseaux de proie
Le jardins de minuit
Protection
@@EricAxel36 I am willing to give it another go. I'll check those out. Yes, there are many boring bands in every sub-genre of Metal.
nah their last two albums were better
I have to agree. Loved Kodama. Spiritual Instinct has a strong first half. Ecailles is very strong, and Voyages has a couple great songs.
Those eyes are scary
Eyes are beautiful.
