Alcest has announced their new album which is set to be released on June 21 via Nuclear Blast.
Alcest, the post-black band formed in Bagnols-sur-Cèze (France) in 2000, has recently announced their new studio album Les Chants De l’Aurore, which is set to be released on June 21 via Nuclear Blast.
The band formed by Neige and Winterhalter has also released the first preview of Les Chants De l’Aurore, which is titled L’Envol. You can listen to their new song below:
For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, Alcest has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, their forthcoming sixth album Spiritual Instinct finds Neige at his most personal.
Written in bursts both during and after a prolonged period of touring in support of 2016’s hugely successful Kodama, the sense of urgency Neige speaks of manifests in a record full of spontaneity, of immediate impact – be that in the breath-taking pace of Les Jardin De Minuit‘s tempo changes, or Sapphire‘s sun-kissed harmonies over an impermeable back beat, one thing Spiritual Instinct has is riffs, an acknowledgement and celebration of the black metal foundations that anchor their uplifting post-metal.
Tracklist:
- Komerbi
- L’envol
- Améthyste
- Flamme Jumelle
