Alcest Tickets

Alcest is a French band formed in 2000 by Neige (Stéphane Paut), who is the sole member and primary songwriter. The band’s music is often described as a blend of black metal, shoegaze, and post-rock, creating a unique and atmospheric sound.

Alcest was originally formed as a black metal band, with their early releases showcasing a more traditional black metal sound. However, over the years, Neige began to incorporate elements of shoegaze and post-rock into the band’s music, resulting in a significant shift in their sound.

The band’s debut album, “Souvenirs d’un autre monde,” released in 2007, marked a turning point for Alcest. The album received critical acclaim for its dreamy and ethereal sound, combining heavy guitars with shimmering melodies and Neige’s haunting vocals.

Following the success of their debut, Alcest released several more albums, including “Écailles de lune” (2010), “Les Voyages de l’Âme” (2012), and “Kodama” (2016). Each album showcased the band’s evolving sound, with a focus on atmospheric and introspective compositions.
