Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde was something quite new. Its combination of Black metal and Shoegaze, occasionally referred to as 'metalgaze', revealed that even metalheads occasionally dig warm, subtle music conceptually revolving around a wonderland or fairyland, where the bunnies hop through gently sloped meadows and spring is everlasting and more wonderfully jolly things. Who knows, maybe we're not as inevitably hell-bound as we think we are. Read more ›› |

Imagine yourself lying on the bare ground of a desolated beach, gazing at the majesty of the full moon. Now close your eyes and focus on the sound of the nearby forest and sea. Wait for the high tide to wrap your body in a blanket of warmth and blissfulness. Listen to the call of the spirits of the night; follow them into the deep sea. Finally allow the hypnotic waters to consume your mortal life and embrace the splendor of Fairyland. This is the basic essence of Écailles de Lune. Read more ›› |

The D.J. was supposed to play "Solar Song" during my wedding reception but never did.

If there is a music which makes me able to get rid off all the stress, fear and anxiety, this is Alcest. This album just put pure serenity into my mind.

Written by Nivrame on 20.11.2012 at 14:00 So check "Le secret" EP (necessarily orginal version), far better imo.

Charming album. "Percées de lumière" is my favourite Alcest song ever.

Written by NorthernDickhead on 30.11.2013 at 22:29 Wouldn't call it black metal in the regular kind of way. But I'd say there's around 40-50% of black metal in this album.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 01.12.2013 at 16:19 Mmm,yea there is little bit "Black" hier. But not enough for Black Metal title. Still,it doesn't matter,it's just Metal (and great album).

I pulled up "Écailles De Lune - Part 2" on youtube for shits and giggles earlier today - hadn't listened to it in a couple years - OMFG what a track. I would argue it's the best piece of music Neige has ever done. I was literally crying...not sobbing...just turning a bit emotional.
