Ecailles de Lune

• Track Listing

Three years after their genre-defining record "Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde", Alcest return to the sound of black metal on their sophomore "Écailles de Lune", but without forgetting any of their trademarks: calm passages, massive slabs of guitars, catchy melodies, and hook-lines going straight to the heart. "This time I was especially inspired by the seaside, the energy and the exaltation you can feel when you sit in front of the sea at night," Neige tries to describe the album's atmosphere. "It appears terribly fascinating, full of secrets and scary at the same time."
