THE NEW ALCEST VIDEO IS GOOD TO WATCH IF YOU'RE STUCK IN A CUBICLE

May 18, 12:30pm MetalSucks

I used to have a job where I worked in a cubicle for a solid ten to thirteen hours a day, and, no, I did not have easy access to a window. So I'd get to the office when it was light outside and then I'd work and work and work and when I'd leave [...]

Apr 30, 7:00am earmilk.com

True fans of music spend countless hours searching for that next great song, album or artist, whether it be online or in a local record shop.

We can discover a brand new artist on the opposite side of the globe in seconds without a radio or a music television channel. It only makes sense that a website so dedicated to this gorgeous universe of music would [...]

Live Report: Alcest, Deafheaven, Vaura in NYC

Apr 13, 4:00am INVISIBLE ORANGES - THE METAL MP3 BLOG

Alcest played Public Assembly in Brooklyn on Saturday (3/31) with support from Los Angeles' Deafheaven and New York's Vaura. It was Alcest's first NYC appearance since their tour with Enslaved last September, following the release of Alcest's Les Voyages de l'Âme , the band's third full-length and next step in the meandering evolution of their ethereal/shoegaze/post-black metal. The show was sold out, and Fred Pessaro (BBG) from Brooklyn Vegan deejayed a set of thrash, punk, death, grind, hardcore, and black metal to get things going. I'm pretty sure it was the only time I've heard Inquisition's "Command [...]

Apr 5, 10:40am BrooklynVegan

photos by Greg Cristman , words by BBG Alcest , Deafheaven , and Vaura teamed up at a sold-out Public Assembly on March 31st , the last of Alcest's dates with Deafheaven that kicked off directly after SXSW. The bill was the perfect mix of bands that draw from metal, but don't feel the need to be confined by its trappings: Alcest is a shoegaze band with black metal pedigree, Deafheaven is a shoegaze-y band [...]

Wednesday in Columbus: Alcest at Ace of Cups

Click here to view the embedded video. ATTENTION METAL FRANCOPHILES! Alcest is from France. That's where I'm going with this. Please allow me to apologize in advance, but I can't think of a more apt term to descibe them than EPIC (anyone who uses this term IRL/unironically deserves to be hanged, drawn and quartered ). It's also very pretty. And heavy. And French. Alcest - that is music from another world, a world that is real, but that exists beyond ours and [...]

CRUST BY CRUSTCAKE 2012

Mar 28, 6:00pm crustcake

By Andy O'Connor (TX)Spring Break is over, guys. Time to get back to class. Now that SXSW 2012 is done, we're counting down the days until the next one. I mean, we're looking forward to Fall Break (Fun Fun Fun Fest), Summer Break (Chaos in Tejas), and Senior Skip Day (Rites of Darkness IV?), but SXSW is such a distinctive animal that no other music fest compares to it. It's overstuffed, yes, and

SHIT THAT COMES OUT TODAY: MARCH 27, 2012

You'll thank us. Just plug your nose and dive deep into a double-load of Shit That Comes Out Today right [...]

Sunday Slaylist: The New Black (Metal)

Mar 4, 5:41am Thrash Hits

All this week, Tom Dare has been guiding you through how Black Metal has evolved over the course of the last two decades (check out parts one , two , three and four if you haven't already). Now, as the week draws to a close, we've asked Tom to put together the songs that have made it happen into a Spotify Slaylist , and in doing to to lovingly cobble them together in an order that somehow tries to make sense of the wildly differing styles that constitute the genre these [...]

20 Years Of Black Metal Evolution – Part #4

Mar 1, 8:30am Thrash Hits

In the final part of his look at the Black Metal evolution over the past 20 years, today Tom Dare is examining the murkier and more indistinct realms of "post"-Black Metal band, as well as those bands who might've moved beyond the boundaries of Black Metal musically, still remain within the genre in spirit, at least.... 6) Post-Black Metal The post-black metal mob (aka, the sub-sub-genre where we shove bands we don't know how else to label [...]

ALCEST Stun London

Feb 29, 1:26pm METAL Injection Blog

Alcest finally played London once more after several years of teasing yearning fans with their absence. Their appearance in the grimy bowels Camden Town excited the city to the point of selling out the Purple Turtle and cramming the small venue with hungry ears. Unfortunately it seemed more like support band Soror Dolorosa had chosen to ...

Lock Up and Chthonic among 8 new bands announced for Bloodstock Open Air 2012

Feb 23, 5:08am Thrash Hits

Bloodstock Open Air have confirmed another eight names for their 2012 bill - Lock Up and Chthonic for the Ronnie James Dio (aka Main) stage, and Alcest, Winterfylleth, Demonic Resurrection, Headcharger, Eastern Front and Ancient Ascendant as those named for the Sophie Lancaster (aka Second) stage. Lock Up are one of those bands who seem to exist permanently on the cusp of declaring they'll never play live again. We've lost count of the number of times we've read (or spread) the rumour that whatever their current festival booking [...]

Album Review: ALCEST Les Voyages de L'âme

Feb 2, 11:56am METAL Injection Blog

Niege has once again metamorphosed into a new sound by creating the third Alcest album and almost completely shed his black metal roots. Les voyages de l'âme - roughly translating to the Voyage of the Soul - is a stunning piece of work that is almost nothing like the raw black metal beginnings of a ...

[Listen] Alcest: "Faiseurs De Mondes"

Jan 23, 2:21pm My Blog Cliche

Pero bueno, otro de los sellos que sin duda ha estado poniendo buenos materiales desde hace ya un muuy largo rato es Prophecy , mismos que este proximo 31 [...]
