Alcest is a musical project born in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France (now relocated in Paris where Neige lives). Beginning as a raw black metal act in 1999, Alcest later became a vessel for Neige's "memories of another world" as the band evolved into his solo-project. While Alcest still retains some black metal roots, the music now draws more comparison to other genres such as shoegaze and post-rock.

  • Alcest is a musical project born in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France (now relocated in Paris where Neige lives). Beginning as a raw black metal act in 1999, Alcest later became a vessel for Neige's "memories of another world" as the band evolved into his solo-project. While Alcest still retains some black metal roots, the music now draws more comparison to other genres such as shoegaze and post-rock. Neige has stated in interviews that he had not listened to these types of music prior to the recording of Souvenirs d'un autre monde. Alcest is currently under contract with Prophecy Productions for five albums. Though this does not necessarily mean that Neige is required to record these albums, should he decide to do so, they will be released via Prophecy.
  • Alcest ist eine im Jahr 2000 gegründete, französische Band aus Avignon. Die Gruppe beziehungsweise das Soloprojekt von „Neige“, der auch bei Peste Noire und inzwischen Forgotten Woods mitwirkt, spielte anfänglich Black Metal, spätestens seit ihrem Debütalbum Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde finden sich jedoch starke Genreeinflüsse von hauptsächlich Shoegazing und Postrock in Alcests Musik. Die Band ist bei Prophecy Productions unter Vertrag; das Label beschreibt Alcests musikalisches Konzept als „Anwendung von Slowdive und Yann Tiersen auf Burzum“.
  • Alcest est un projet musical français fondé à Bagnols-sur-Cèze en 2000 et maintenant relocalisé à Paris. Bien qu'Alcest fut au départ un groupe de black metal (cf. la démo "Tristesse hivernale" sur laquelle La sale Famine de Valfunde/Aegnor de Peste Noire fut le guitariste lead et Argoth ex-Peste Noire, fit la basse), le groupe devint le projet solo du musicien multi-instrumentaliste Neige connu aussi pour ses autres groupes Amesoeurs, Mortifera, Phest et également pour son rôle de batteur session, guitariste intérimaire live dans Peste Noire et Celestia. Le genre musical du projet changea alors au fil des albums, devenant un mélange de shoegaze et de post-rock, avec quelques éléments de black metal. Le premier album longue durée d'Alcest, Souvenirs d'un autre monde, fut le sujet de nombreux articles indépendants, notamment des webzines consacrés aux scènes underground.
  • Alcest é uma banda de black metal formada em Avignon, França, em 1999. Começou como uma banda de black metal, tendo mais tarde mudado de género. Alcest tornou-se um foco para as memórias de Neige, que é o actual e único elemento da banda original, passou a fazer a sua carreira na banda mas a solo. Enquanto a banda manteve as suas raízes do black metal, a música passou a soar a outros géneros, tais como shoegaze e post-rock. Neige ralatou em entrevistas que não ouvia estes tipos de música antes de gravar o Souvenirs d'un autre monde.
