Alcest.....any love?

Diabolik · April 15th, 2008, 12:29 PM

Damn, this has been such a surprise for me with this band. Read some reviews and figured I would pick it up. Very melancoly (sure it is spelled wrong) and ambient at times but powerful stuff. I would compare them to Winds and mellow Opeth. I cant stop listening to this disc.....worth picking up.

any other fans out there?

Sounds like something a few years ago I would have loved... Vocally, are they clean melancholy (IE - Katatonia), or mix clean / harsh (Opeth, MDB, Nov Doom).

Yes, it's good like pop music or whatever it is.

I have seen them classified as black metal...which is kind of funny.

Jasonic · April 15th, 2008, 12:52 PM

why? Are they racist?

I think Alcest is terrible.

Their first demo actually was black metal, hence the classification.
