Overview:
Frontman Neige comments: "ALCEST's 6th album is called 'Spiritual Instinct' and will be released on Nuclear Blast. Therecording of 'Spiritual Instinct' has been a long and challenging process, but we feel really proud of it and can't wait toshare our new music with all of you. The artwork has been made by the Parisian duo Førtifem and represents a sphinx, asa reference to the symbolism art movement. The sphinx is the ultimate figure of the enigma, which embodies both thespiritual and feral sides inside us.“ Founded in 2000 by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Neige and joined by drummerWinterhalter in 2009, ALCEST have become the pioneers of blackgaze, a unique and virtuosic mixture of post (black)metal and shoegaze. With a dreamy, otherworldly sound full of contrasts mixing rough darkness and soft melodies, theband forged five full length releases and went from black metal beginnings to the eerie pop on »Shelter« and further on to2016’s »Kodama« inspired by the Japanese anime 'Princess Mononoke'. ALCEST’s fans always expect the unexpectedfrom a duo that never ceased to explore new worlds, dive into their own imagination and create a truly magical universethrough each played note.
