Neige comments: 

“Our long time friend and collaborator William Lacalmontie followed us during our last European tour promoting « Les Chants de L’Aurore » in order to make a music video documenting our experience and the shows we have been playing every night. I asked him not only to focus on the band but also pay homage to our fans, our crew, our community who have been so supportive to us since the early days of Alcest. This video is the way we found to tell you thank you. 

Our world tour is keeping on in North America from February to mid March, and then we will go to Asia. We Iive such a beautiful adventure, and all this would be impossible without your love and support. Take care and see you very soon again!”

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, ALCEST seem to dip their toes in a multitude of musical genres without ever quite fitting in. “In the metal scene ALCEST is a weird band, in the indie/post-rock scene ALCEST is a weird band- we never quite fit in,” Neige reflects. “This is how I feel in life, always an outsider; It’s not a problem, it’s just the way it is.”

ALCEST is:
Neige | vocals, guitars, bass, synths
Winterhalter | drums
